GARBAGE BID MAY BE VOID
ON ACCOUNT OF PEN SLIP
Firm Wrote $4,000 a Month
Instead of Year.

The Ross-Bell Construction Com
pany may be eliminated from the
bidding for the city garbage removal
contract, which will be awarded by
the Board of Works next Monday.
The company wrote in 100000 a
month" as the amount to be deducted
from it's estimate should the city de-
eide to stop paying for the removal
of refuse from the rear of the houses
to the curb line. This would mean a
total deduction of $1,0SO,0 900 for the
year.
It is, of course, ridiculous to con-
slider the figures were meant as writ
ten, for the total deduction would be
about $500, 900 more than it would re-
ceive from the city. The question,
which involves the companys compe-
tion for the work, is whether or not
the irregularity in the bid will be
considered by the board and the
boards power to readjust the bid to
read $4,000 a year.
| In the tabulation Joseph Marrone

BODY
TO Be CREMATED
Widow to Follow Out Wish of
Unfortunate Victim of
Fall.

The funeral of Frederick Petzingeri
of Sd Holland street, who died at the
City Hospital yesterday afternoon
following injuries received in a fall
from a house in Norwood avenue on
which he was working, will be held
from his late residence tomorrow
afternoon at 1890. The Rev. Carl
Girtanner, pastor of the First Ger
man Reformed Church, will officiate.
The body will then be taken to the
Rosehill Crematory, at Linden, for
cremation, in compliance with wish
expressed by Petzinger before his
death. Later the remains will be in
tered at Woodland Cemetery, this
city.
The death of Petzinger just before
the Christmas holidays came as a
Gripping blow to his widow and ten
children, Of whom he was almost the
sole support. Besides Petzinger,
whose work had been very irregular
of late, only two of the ten chilren
are working. One of the ten. Con-
rad, the third oldest son, had just
come home on a furlough from the
navy anu was
his younger brothers and sisters with
stories of his travels and adventures
when the news of his fathers death
came like a thunderbolt out of a
clear sky. An effort will be made to
secure Conrad's discharge from the
navy. as his mother, brothers and
sisters are more in need of his serv
ices just at present than Uncle Sam.
Petzinger. who was employed as a
painter by Frederick Neidhart, of 81
Nineteenth avenue, went to work
yesterday morning for the second
time in over a week, happy in the
thought that he would have a few
more days work before Christmas.
On Thursday night he expressed a
foreboding to his wife that this would
not be a very happy Christmas and
that he felt sure something was going
to happen to him.
Petzinger was SO years old. He was
a member of the Odd Fellows and~of
the Painters Union. Besides his
widow and ten children, whose ages
range from to "a years, Petzinger
is survived by brother, Martin, and
a sister. Mrs Kate Crater, of 50 Hol-
land street.
