MAY FIGHT SCHOOL
CONTRACT IN COURT
Threats of Mandamus Proceed
ings Against South Orange
Board of Education.

Threats of mandamus proceedings
against the members of the South
Orange Board of Education for
I awarding the contract to build a new
school in Academy street are being
made today. Arthur D. McAllister, of
West Orange, president of the Amer
lean Bankers Construction Company,
which submitted the lowest bid. says
his friends intend to take action
against the board.
The contract was awarded at a
secret session of the board on Mon
day night. The contract was given to
John Lowry, jr., Of New York. for
$60,s2o. The bid of the company. of
which McAllister is the head, was
$3.50 less. McAllister insinuates that
George E. Low, chairman of the build
ing committee, has not treated him
fairly and acted as though, he favored
Mr.. Lowry.
Charles q. Fielding, president of the
Board of Education, stated the MEM
bers had been unanimous in their de-
-cision to award the contract to
Lowry. and the only reason they had
not considered the construction COM
pany was because 1t was a practically
of the board, did not believe the COM
pany could do the work.
To this Mr. McAliister stated his
company was in q position to furnish
a bond completely covering the cost
of the building. and he refused point
blank to accept his check for 81, 200
from Hoyt II. Tucker. clerk of the
board This check had accompanied
the bid as a guarantee of good faith.
Mr.. McAllister stated he also bears
recommendations from men prominent
IN the Oranges, and among them are
Surrogate Isaac Shoenthal, County
Clerk McDonough, Simeon H. Rollin-
son, town attorney OF West Orange;
Mayor Samuel A. Muta, OF West Or
ange; Rev. John F.. Kern, pastor of
the Valley German Presbyterian
Church: Arthur Dillon and Michael
Commissioner William D. Gibbey
also stated that he did not think the
concern capable OF carrying through
the Job, but Mr.. McAllister, while adj
hitting that the members had never
before been associated In a contract
they all had been practical construc-
ton contractors for twenty years.
The affair has created a profound
stir in the town and Its termination
will be watched with great interest.
All Of the bids received by the board
last night for the work of construct
ing an addition to the Maplewoo6
School were In excess of the appro-
priation authorized by the voters OF
South Orange school district. This
is $42, 900.
The lowest bid amounted TO $44, $50
and the highest s63,586. Six bids were
filed. The board will revise the orig.
inal specifications and readvertise fol
estimates on the proposed work,

BURIAL PERMIT FOR
WOMAN IS REFUSED
Deputy County Physician,
However, Believes Death
Was Accidental.

Following an examination today,
Deputy County Physician NJ. Herbert
Simmons, of Orange, while expressing
the belief that Mrs. Mary Ward, who
was discovered dead in a bed In the
house at 112 Burnside street, Orange,
last night, had come to her death by
accidental gas asphyxiation, he re-
fused to grant burial permit. He
explained that he desired to have the
prosecutors detectives delve into the
case before finally granting permits
sion to bury the woman.
Mrs. Ward, who was forty-six years
old and who lived at AZ Girard avenue,
East Orange, was taken i'll. the police
believe, while walking along Burnside
street. She was carried into the
house where she was later found
dead. Patrolmen George Schotts and
Luke Riley discovered the woman
dead in gas-fllled room.
DIR. Simmons believes a pot of
coffee which had been placed on the
stove had boiled over, thus extin-
gushing the flame and permitting the
gas to escape. The body is at Kunz's
morgue, Orange.
