STREET MUST BE
REPAIRED In ALL SECTIONS

Under the opinion of City Coun-
sci James r. Nugent the Board of
Works will be forced to repave Broad
street from Belleville avenue to
Pointer street, on the lines of the
original resolution.
After the original resolution had
been passed months ago property
owners below Camp street petitioned
that the present pavement was still
in good shape and that to tear 1t up
at this time would only work a hard
ship on them. 1t was then decided
to carry the new pavement only as
far as South street.
1t was with this view in mind that
the street was divided into four sec
tions. BY this means the board hoped
to be able to award the contracts
for three of the sections and forget
the, fourth, which covers from South
to Pointer streets. Under the ruling
of the city counsel, made yesterday,
however, this procedure will not be
possible.
On motion of Commissioner Charles
f. Kraemer the entire matter was
again laid over for another week.
Van Keuren e. Son are the low
bidders on the first three sections,
while on the fourth O'Gara e. Nc
Guire submitted the lowest estimate.

OPPOSITION MADE TO
THE ASPHALT BLOCK

Opposed to the laying of asphalt
block in South Eighteenth street, AL
derman Maurice r. Welsh yesterday
petitioned the Board sf~Works to Sc
lect some other sort of pavement for
that thoroughfare. Mr. Welsh APP
peared on behalf of the property
owners, thirty-two of whom were
signers to petition which he pre-
sented to the board.
Some time ago the board decided to
pave the thoroughfare from South
Orange avenue TO the East Orange
line and asphalt block was decided
upon. The opposition of the property
owners, however, led the board to
hold up the matter for another week.
Alderman Welsh contended that the
pavement selected is too expensive
and that 1t would be a hardship to
force 1t upon the property owners.
He insisted that asphalt or bitulithic
should be laid, to correspond with
the other side of South Orange ave-
nue..
Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
presented to the board a check for
50, $685. which he received from the
Public Service for damages alleged to
have been done the water mains by
electrolysis. This amount, he said.
represented the cost of new mains to
replace those that had been destroyed.
Mr.. Sherrerd reported also that the
corporation had set aside $4,000 TO
investigate into electrOlVsis with q
view of bringing about remedy.
Engineers and specialists, he said,
are now working with that end In
view.
A petition headed by the name of
former Commissioner Harry B. o'Con-
nell and containing the signatures of
about sixty prominent business men
throughout the city was received, re-
questing tht Front street be widened.
1t was ordered filed without comment.

"B. M. L. COMPANY" LANDS
SPRINGFIELD AVENUE JOB

After months of delay the Board of
Works yesterday finally awarded the
contract for repaving Springfield ave-
nue. with oblong granite blocks to the
"B. M. L. Company" the lowest bid
ders, at s49.57O.
Soon after it was found that the
"B. NJ L." concern, often referred
to as the mysterious" company, was
the low bidder on the work, an in
vestigation was started to determine
their financial responsibility to carry
out the provisions of the contract
After much delay the members of
the company were given as c. P.
Bower, of New York. who was said to
be the practical" man; William ].
Murtaugh, better known as BILLY
Murtha," and Bertram L. LIE Vine.
The former was called before the
board to establish his practical ex-
perience as contractor sometime
ago. j. 49, b es..5..
From that time until yesterday the
matter apparently had been dropped.
Last week a petition was received
from a number of merchants along
Springfield avenue requesting that
wood block be laid instead of granite.
It is now expected that the work
will be begun within short time so
that the pavement will have been laid
before the cold spell sets in.

SIX FRANCHISES
TO THIRD READING
Works Board Puts Over Three
Other Applications OF
Public Service.

The Board of Works yesterday
passed on second reading six of the
twenty-seven franchises requested by
the Public Service in connection with
its terminal project Three others
were laid over without action while
This one, however, will be replaced
by another application.
AS told in The Star yesterday,
amendments were made to both the
Hawthorne avenue and Park place
grants.
Opposition to the laying of tracks
in Fourth avenue was encountered
from both the commissioners and the
engineers. 1t was suggested that in
view of the fact that the new Nor
NAL School fronts on this thorough
fare that another street to the south
be chosen for connecting Ogden
street and Beleville avenue. This,
together with the applications for
the Warren and High street extern
sion and the extension into the gas
works in Market street, were taken
up, but laid over.
The application killed was one re-
questing double trackage in Lafay-
cite street. In place of this the COM
pany will submit a request for a
single track in this thoroughfare and
another in Green street. Another
new application will be for the "Y"
in Wolcott terrace, the terminus of
the Hawthorne avenue line.
