MORE EFFICIENCY
AT CITY HOSPITAL

A number of improvements will be
installed in the City Hospital, includ-
ing a modern tire-alarm system, con-
Quits for telegraph and telephone
wires and an incineration plant. This
was decided upon at meeting of the
public buildings committee OF the
Common Council last night. which
will bear the cost. The maintenance
of them will be shouldered by the
Board of Health.
The incineration plant will provide
a long-felt want at the hospital. 1t
will be possible to dispose of all ban
dages and other refuse common to
such an institution without the neces-
sity of storing it in barrels and in
viting the spreading of disease.
The proposed tunnels beneath Cam
den street to connect the group of
buildings will be depressed sufficiently
to conform with the mandate of the
Board of Works.
Advertisements for bids for lighting
fixtures for the new Board of Health
building were ordered inserted in the
local papers, the bids to be opened at
the next meeting of the committee, on
July 2s. 1t was also decided to build
retaining wall at the southern end
of the building now being erected on
Plane street.

SPRINGFIELD AVE. MEN
ANXIOUS ABOUT PAVING

Since the Board of Works has In
sisted upon holding up the Springfield
avenue paving award, merchants
along that thoroughfare have become
uneasy. For the past week petition
for wood block instead of grouted
granite, the pavement originally Sc
lected, has been circulated among the
property owners.
Yesterday afternoon it was pre-
scented to the board by George j.
Busch. chairman of the merchants
committee. 1t was claimed that 1t
contained the signatures of over SO
per cent. of the property owners. 1t
was referred to the law department.
The paving award has been held up
by the board because of the failure of
the B. NJ. l.. Company, the success
full bidders for the work. to satisfy II
they are responsible contractors. No
date has been set for action and none
will probably be taken until a repre-
sentative of the company proves his
concerns responsibility.

LOCAL BOATS WILL
GO TO DREAMLAND
George c. Wiedenmayer and
Captain Smith Secure Pier
for Excursion Landings.

BY a special agreement with the
Now York authorities, George c. Vie
! denmayer. of this city, and Captain
Aiming j. Smith, of New York. have
secured Dreamland pier at Coney
sland for the docking of boats leav-
ing this city for the seashore resort.
1t was stated today that in return for
the use of the pier the loca. promoters
have agreed to repair the old struc-
ture. a force of more than 100 men
are working in day and night shifts
to reconstruct the pier so that boats
may land there tomorrow.
Mr. Wiedenmayer last night said.
p Down at Tilyou's Steeplechase Pier
hey have had o monopoly of this
excursion business. My boats from
Newark have been Obliged to tie M
ut Timer Park TO unload, and we
were charged q stiff rate per pas
senger: At the Tilyou pier they tried
20 charge us $50 each time we tied up
there, a veritable holdup. The rate at
the Dreamland pier will be Just the
wharfage charges at the regular rate
the city assesses. on net tonnage at
any public DOCK
1t was explained that the rate
would be approximately 11a cents per
pound of net tonnage for each boat
per day. but the boat could use the
pier as many times as its owners
wanted it to. Mr.. Wiedenmayer de-
clared he and his partner would
spend at least 5000 in lumber and
wages in getting the pier in readi-
ness. II was figured out that this
meant $4,000 per week for the time
they would have to operate, as the
season is calculated to last but five
weeks more.
In addition to the boats running
from this city and Elizabethport
there will be a small-sized fleet car
rying passengers from New York,
Bridgeport, several points on Long
Island and up the Hudson. The pier
is so formed that two boats may
dock at the same time.
Mr.. Wiedenmayer was asked if it
was not true that the Tilyou interests
had offered as high as $4,000 for the |
privilege He replied that they had |
gone as high as $1,000. but wanted a
monopoly. Since then the Board of |
Estimate had appropriated money for |
building a new pier, and they would. |
therefore. have this one only for this |
season.

POSTPONE ESTABLISHMENT
OF POLICE SUBsSTATI0N

Through the shaving of the budget
by the finance committee, the Board
of Police Commissioners has been
forced to postpone the establishment
of a sub-station to the Fourth Pre-
cinct in the Vailsburg section. It was
first thought that the station would
be in readiness for operation by Au-
gust |, but it will now probably be
some time in October before the open
ing.
Several sites have been looked over,
but no selection has been made as
yet, as the board is seeking a location
that will be central and yet within
their limited funds. The principal
item cut which holds back the inn
mediate action is the request for an
appropriation for sufficient funds to
enable the placing of ten additional
patrolmen on the force. Should the
sub-station be established the extra
men could not be appointed, and it
Is the sense of the board the extra
men are more necessary.

The county committee needs money

the department.
There was no opposition TO the idea

present old-fashioned are lamps
throughout the city with the re"

lighting contracts with the city eX-
pire on September / and the more
modern lamps may be installed at
that time If the cost is not prohiol-
tive.
Commissioner Albert H. Bier

committee, will confer with the Pub
lie Service officials and determine the
lowest possible price for which the
neE lamps can be installed.
In the meantime the contract for
the installation of the new lamps
on Broad street. to replace the pres
ent arcs after September !. is being
held up. When this project was
originally preached the Public Ser
vice asked s19o year for each lamp.
This price was agreed upon by the
merchants. they to pay the differ
ence between this amount and $5o,
which the city will pay.
From the first Mr.. Biertuempfel
has contended that this price is too
high. and the other members of the
board now see the matter in the
same light.
There are at present about S,oOo
electric arc lamps In the city, for
which the city pays about $50 year
each.
Just what terms the city will be
able to get on the entire city remains
TO be seen If it is reasonable then
