is in the City Hospital today with
a possible fracture of the skull.
He has partially lost his memory.
Although he says he lives in New
ark, he does not remember where,

He told the physicians that he was
walking to work in Harrison today,

John Reilly, at Third street and Har-
rison avenue, and asked for a drink.
His mind is blank in regard to
what happened after that.
Found wandering near the Bridge
street bridge, on the Newark side,
Doyle was taken to the city dispen-
sary and from there to the City Hos
pital, where his condition was found
to be serious.
Reilly was asked whether he re-
membered Doyle and he said he did

ESTIMATES LOWER
PAVEMENT COST
Contractors Figures Cut $22,-
1253 from Engineers calcu-
lations for Broad ST. Work.

1t developed today. after tabula-
ton of bids, that the repaving of
Broad street from BeIleville avenue
to Pointer street with wood block will
cost about s22, ,25s less than the figure
established by the engineers before
the proposals were opened
The entire work will cost the city
$780,, ,747.19 This figure. which is
based on the low bid. also includes
the sum of 10 per cent for the con-
tingent fund for advertising and
other costs incidental to the work
of receiving bids. The specifications
on which the proposals were submit
ted divided Broad street into four
sections. On three of these, Van
Keuren & Sons are the lowest bid
der, while on the fourth O'Gara &
Mcclure submitted the lowest bid
On the alternative proposition, the
city to buy the blocks and furnish
them to the contractor. a saving of
SO, 1922 can be effected. On this
proposition Van Keuren & Sons We're
low on all four sections for the CON
struction work The American Creo-
soting Company. with it's bid of s173,
420.So, was low on furnishing the
blocks to the city.
Should the city accept the latter
proposition 1t is pointed out that the
work would practically be without a
guarantee. The responsibility would
necessarily be divided between the
company furnishing the blocks to the
city and the contractor doing the
construction work On the trs'
propositions however, the contractor
would have to shoulder the respon'
s'pility Tor the blocks as well as tnt
construction or the pavement.
