DO you ever hear anybody say the

No indeed! You always see the familiar

unfeelng enough to remark that she must
have been the unfortunate member of

loving. IL does not make any difference

STEEL PRICES NORMAL.
With Premiums Are Now Near Level
In Prosperous Years.

With the recent advances in steel prices
and the premiums of 81 TO o being added
on for prompt deliveries. the prices Of steel
products are now very near the prices OBJ
tanned during the more prosperous years
in the steel industry. While premiums of
- a ton are not unusual for some products
there has been one reported case of Ss a
ton premium being charged for a structural
steel order There is one dra wback TO the
situation. however and that is that the steel
mills are SO congested with orders that they
are not able to book much OF these high
priced orders for prompt delivery. which
is the very cause why such high premiums
are being offered THE inability OF CON
sumers to get any guarantees Of prompt
deliveries unless they pay high prices above
quotations for them.
The Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg
Railroad has ordered 20 cars. including 500
steel ,Inderframe box cars, 500steel gondolas,
100 automobile and the same number of
refrigerator ears, The New England Coal
and Coke Company has placed an order
for 400 all steel hopper car with the Cambria
Steel Company.
The National Tube Company has made
another advance Of 5! ton on all siIes OF
steel pipes and boiler tubes
Malleabe bessener iron has advanced
o. a ton TO SIG a ton quoted.
Statistics compiled bv the American
Iron and Steel Assoc iation give the ofic!aI
production OF pig iron Of all grades during
the first six months OF iaia as 1907 .:74
tons an increase OF :.4Oj. .o,s tons over
the frst half of 1912. but a decrease from
the production during the first six months
Of 1910.
Besides noting a recession In prices TO

CITY PAYS FOR>FLAMING
ARCS AT FOUR CORNERS
North Broad Street Now Stands
Cost of Only TWenty-eight.

BY the action of the Board of
Works in taking over the two lights
at the -Four Corners, the North Broad
Street Business Mems Improvement
Association now has to stand the cost
of only twenty-eight flaming arcs
The entire cost of all the flaming arcs
at the Four Corners will now be
borne by the city. On the remaining
arcs on the North Broad section the
city will contribute $40 each annually.
The motion of Moses Plaut, who
appeared for the association. that the
nine lamps bordering on Military
Park be turned into flaming arcs,
was denied by the board. Notice was
given by Mr.. Plaut, that he would
present to the board in the very near
future on behalf of his association,
a petition for the repaving of Broad
street with wood block.
In the future the board will in
struct the contractors in paving to
employ citizens only in the work.
This action was taken at the request
of Freebooter Richard F. Malta and
a committee of the Newark Stone
Cutters Union. An interpreter of the
union will accompany Assistant Chief
Engineer Howell on the various jobs
and ascertain if the men employed
are citizens.
The request of the Harrison officials
for the cooperation of the board in
it's fight for a footpath on the pro-
posed new bridge of the Erie rail-
road at Fouth avenue was referred
to Mr.. Sherrerd.

Van Steenbergh's Testimony

| money consideration induced Herman,
Van Steenbergh to withdraw his
name from the eligible list in order
that George A. Roehm might be APP
pointed assistant license inspector in
this city. may be continued by the
state Civil Service Commission.
The commission started its probe
at the city hall yesterday, and at the
close of the session announcement
was made that the necessity for
further investigation cannot be de-
termined until the testimony of yes
terday's hearing is transcribed.
There was no evidence to show that
Van Steenbergh gave up his position
on the list for any other reason than
to oblige a friend, Commissioner
Bateman said. after the hearing.
Examination of witnesses by Jo-
siah Stryker, of the attorney generi
ais office brought out the statement.
that Van Steenbergh's withdrawal of
his name, which was third on the list,
was made at the request of William
Swan. former bill clerk of the Legis-
lature. Swan pointed out. 1t was
testified, that Van S~teenbergh. be-
ing "a Republican, could scarcely hope
10 get the appointment, but might be
made clerk in the tax Office, were he
to drop out of the ace for assistant
license inspector. Van Steenbergh
is first on the list for appointment as
a clerk in the tax office. His with
drawal from the other list placed
Roehm's name third.
Van Steenbergh testified hat
Roehm thanked him after he took his
name from the list, and hoped to be
able to. return the favor some day.
This testimony Roehm corroborated.
