COMMISSION TO
CONVENE AT NEWARK

The Mechanics Lien Commission,
which was created by an act of the
last Legislature, and of which Ar
thur A. Quinn, of this place, is a
member, will meet tomorrow in New
ark to confer on some proposed
vhanges in the Mechanics Lien law,
which provides that men who are en-
ed their pay, then hold a lien on the
building on which they are work
ing.
Their claims come ahead of the
material men, who sometimes find
that after the employees are paid that
there is not enough left to REIN
burse them for the material used in
the construction of the building, at
such a low figure are some of the
contracts taken. They have there
fore complained of the unfairness of
the law to the commission, who will
tomorrow try to form a resolution to
be introduced in the next Legislature
to amend the law and adjust the
grievances of the material men
against the contractor In charge.
The other three on the commission
are: James G. B%lauvelt, of Paterson,
president; William e. futile, OF
Westfeld, and Frank G. Genung, of
Newark. Mr.. Quinn and the first
named represent the interests of the
employees, and the last two the ma
trial men.
