CLINTON HILL IMPROVERS
PUZZLE BOARD OF WORKS

The Board of Works commissioners
are today trying to figure out just
where the Clinton Hill Improvement
Association stands on the trolley ter
minal project.
At yesterdays meeting of the board
julius Koch, who declared that he
represented the association, insisted
that the board was using dilatory
tactics in it's dealings with the Public
Service and stated that the improv-
ers were DESTROYS of having some
definite action taken without delay
Just few minutes later a letter
signed by D. L. Everett as secretary
of the association, was read. In this
communication the association urged
the board to go slow in the matter
and insisted that the per cent. fran
chise tax should be definitely deter
mined before any grants were made.
Alderman William D. Bleick, of the
Sixteenth ward, requested that the
work of improving Hawthorne avenue
be started at once. He stated that
the thoroughfare was in deplorable
condition, especially after heavy
rain. He urged that something def
mite be done with regard to building
a trolley line on the avenue.
Residents of North Sixth and North
Seventh streets flooded the board with
petitions for and against the paving
of both thoroughfares The property
owners on both streets were about
evenly divided for and against any
improvements at the present timee
To give the board members an op'
portunity of looking over both sets o.
petitions the matter was laid over fol
a week.

EDINBURGH, Scotland. June 13.-
The progress of the Young Mems
Christian Association in America en-
gagged the attention of the delegates
to the worlds conference at the OPEN
ing session yesterday. National Sec
rotary Piene. of Norway, showed
that the European branches had
gained 100000 members in six years,
while the American branches had in
creased 10000. Delegates from four
countries asked the reasons for
Americas superiority. DR.. G. j.

unproven statement" continued Mr..
McCarter. than Mr.. Gillen's charge
last week that the Standard Btu
l:thio Company is charging 4I7s cents
more to this city than anywhere
else"
Mr.. Gillen interrupted at this point
and interjeeted: Il will prove that
statement beyond a question of doubt
before another yard of bitulithic is
laid in this city"
Referring to. the newspaper clip
ping to which Mr.. Gillen referred in
making his charges last week, Mr..
| McCarter declared that even these
had been naisrepresented. He stated
that the case referred to by Mr.. Gillen.
reading from a Toronto paper. was
about the Warren Bituminus Paving
Company, which concern. he stated
had no connection whatever with the
| local company.
He said further that the scandal
which Mr.. Gillen made capital of had
been investigated, and the contract
for the work in question, after the
investigation, awarded to the Warren
Brothers concern.
Charge Denied.
81 defy Mr.. Gillen or anyone else
declared Mr.. McCarter in summing
up. ito prove that this company mas
charged more than a sum of one or
I two cents in this city than it has
charged elsewhere. The upshot OF
this whole matter is that he claims
that the other members of this board
are held by the neck, or rather in the
grip of the trust Now, you know
yourselves how utterly ridiculous
that is.
I'm this matter Mr.. Gillen may
have been the unconscious tool OF our
competitors, else I can't understand
the attitude he has taken"
After Mr.. McCarter finished Mr..
Gillen again took the floor and in
sisted that suit be started against
him. He dared the company to start
action. He intimated that the com
many was afraid to bring the matter
into the courts.
In answer to a question from Mr..
.Gillen, Chief Engineer Norris R.
Sherrerd declared that in his opinion
the Topeka" pavement was no
cheaper when laid in Newark than
the bitulithie. Reference was made
to the cost of the pavement in Tren-
ton, but Mr.. Sherrerd explained the
difference by the statement that in
that city the pavement is laid on
four-inch concrete base while in this
city the base is six inches In Tren-
ton also the top covering is only two
inches while here it is two and one
half inches.
There is no question in my mind"
declared Mr.. Sherrerd, that the diff
ference in cost between these pave
ments is made UP in the different
manner in which they are laid"
Mr.. Gillen promised further proof
that bitulithic should not be laid on
Newark streets and declared that he
would institute within the next few
days court proceedings to stop the
fulfillment of several contracts that
have already been awarded to the
Standard Bitulithic Company,

GIRL, CONSCIOUS FEW
HOURS, AGAIN IN COMA
IsnecIal to the Ne,sark star.I

ELIZABETH, n. j., June 1S.-After
being unconscious for four days and
regalning her senses for ten hours,
Miss Fannie Griest apparently went
to sleep at the General Hos
pital and again has been in
a state of coma for more than
twenty-four hours. Her case is the
strangest with which the local hos
pital authorities have ever dealt and
no physician has been able to dag
nose her ailment.
While she was conscious she showed
no effects of her four days sleep and
conversed freely with her attendants.
She said she had had a similar attack
in Boston some time ago, when she
was unconscious for more than two
weeks She gave her name and ad-
dress and seemed normal in every
way. She gave no indication of a
relapse until a short time before sh'
went to sleep last night.
