MUCH DELAY ON
CREEK BRIDGE

Work on the Woodbridge creek
bridge has again been held up to
the sorrow of the suffering commut-
ers who have to transfer at that
creek crossing, and walk across the
structure to the car on the opposite
side.
At a hearing of the bondsmen of
P. j. Monaghan, the discharged
bridge contractor, before the Board
of Freeholders Thursday, the bonds
men were given the privilege of nam
ing a man to finish the work on the
bridge that would be agreeable to
the board. The bondsmen lave Sc
lected John F.. MeGovern Of New
Brunswick. to finish the Job, and
that contractor started work for the
first time this morning.
Monaghan, after he was diseharg-
ed, did not comply with the free
holders request Immediately, and
finally quit work on the bridge at
the demand Of the sheriff, Saturday.
Between that date and today prac-
tically no work has been done on
the long delayed structure which
to have been finished by January l,
but which will very probably be still
in course OF construction next spring

CLEAN STREETS
DURING NIGHT
Plan Discussed at Alder
manic Committee Session.

Principal business streets and as
many others as can be reached are to
be sprinkled and cleaned nights
Men in the street department will
work on other thoroughfares during
the day. 1t is expected that the
street department will dispose of q
sweeper now on hand and purchase
a new combination sprinkler and
sweeper. These and other subjects
were considered at the first commit
tee session of the new Board of AL
dermen last night.
Alderman F. A. Seaman, chairman
of the streets and sewers committee,
suggested the new manner of clean
ing streets. From observations
made and knowledge gained during
the past year in which he was head
of the street committee, he decided
the paved streets could probably be
cleaned best with a machine. He
found it unwise to have the old men
In the department dodge vehicles
while endeavoring to clean the prin-
cipal business streets during the day.
His intention is to use a machine
which will sprinkle water just ahead
of a circular sweeper and thereby
carry dirt from the pavements to
cutters with absence of all dust nuis-
ances.
A heavy type of securing machine
on the same order, which is equipped
with a rubber securing apparatus in
stead of q circular broom, was first
considered. 1t would require three
horses to haul such O. contriyance,
and It was decided to be too heavy.
A dry sweeper now In use is con
sidered too large. The sweeping ap-
paratus is so long that it will not
readily meet the curved surface OF
most pavements, thereby necessitat-
ing that 1t be pressed hard against
the pavement to do effective work.
Mr.. Seaman belives this to be detri-
mental to the surface of pavements.
With the new machine, Mr.. Seaman
believes the pavements can be clean
ed quickly and conveniently. 1t 10
proposed to use it during the night
and have men with wagons n
teams follow early in the morning
and remove the refuse from cutters.
1t was practically decided last
night to remove a police call box
from the foot of Washington street
to Alpine street. 1t has not been In
use at it's present location. In MAX
ing the change, the council intends
to improve police protection in the
northern part of the city.
A new street arc is to be placed
on Alpine street, nea the railroad
tracks. An arc on the west side of
High street at Smith street will be
removed to the east side of High
street.

FORMER CROOK
TO TELL STORY
Dave Ranny at Library
Auditorium for Y. n. c. A.

Those who like to study the nat
ura1 characteristics of man In gen.
eral, should hear the lecture, From
the Bottom Up" by Dave" Ranny,
formerly a New York Bowery crook
for twenty years, who Is now serving
his old pals in a different method
by giving them the bible and trying
to lead them to higher lives. Mr..
Ranny will deliver his famous talk
under the auspices of the Y. M. C.
A. at the Public library auditorium
at 3 80 o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
when he will address the men, exclu-
sively. In the evening at 1880 ne
will speak at the Baptist church in
Fayette street, near Mechanic street.
The public generally are invited to
the latter meeting.
Mr.. Ranny Is called the modern
Jerry McAuley," having been in the
depth OF degradation, when he
awoke to the fact that there was a
more sublime existence and reform
ed.
Splendid music has been arranged
for the meeting. Holy Father,
Cheer Our Way" by B. Cecil Klein,
and Like as the Heart by Bruno
HUM, will be rendered by the fol-
lowing selected quartet: Miss e.
Ruth Bacon, soprano; Mrs. C. A.
Emmons, alto; Edgar Mullin, tenor;
William r. Cox, bass. The quartet
Will be accompanied by Miss Sadie
A. Meshrow.
Secretary Lipscomb says, though

GET CLOTHING
THROUGH MAIL
Official Figures Given About
Parcel Post Here.

Official cures given out today by
Assistant Postmaster J. Harry Tyr
rell show a gradual increase in the
use OF the parcel post system. Thurs
day there were seventy-fve parcels
dispatched and t~hirty-five received
from other places; yesterday there
were ~seventy-ive dispatched and if-
ty received for delivery here. Mr..
Tyrrell says the manufacturers are
inquiring about the new way of send
ing packages, and he believes though
only a few parcels have been re-
ceived from them as yet, that they
will use the system extensively in
the near future.
A suit of clothes, weighing seven
pounds, was received from New
York this morning, the cost being
twenty-three cents; yesterday a suit
weighing five pounds was received
from Bridgeport, Conn, which is in
the second zone, which cost twenty
, two cents.
The exact nature of the parcel
post is not generally understood, as
yet. The post office has had several
packages over four ounceS of fourth
class, which bore the ordinary
stamps when they should have borne
the distinctive parcel post stamps.
A number of parcels, which should
have been sent other than parcel
post but still bore the parcel post
stamps were also received. All of
these parcels, when the name of the
sender was known, were held for the
correct kind of stamps. The idea
that the parcel post and other stamps
are to be used for the same purpose
seems prevalent.

IN THE BEGINNING" IS
SUBJECT FOR SERMON

Did you ever stop to think how
long ago that possibly might be?
Here we are at the beginning of an
other yearly revolution of the earth
around the SUM-. When did the earth
begin thus to revolve? Will it ever
stop? Or will it continue forever?
At the time of beginning is a good
time to think of beginnings in gen
eral. And for this purpose, when
our minds run in soberer channels,
there is no better place than a Chris
tian church. And of all churches in
Il city there are not a few who be-
lieve that the First Baptist church
on Fayette street is the best. Try
it for yourself and see. In the
morning Rev. William H. Bawden,
the pastor, will preach on the sug-
gestive theme: I'm the Beginning
In the evening, commencing at
1870, David Ranny, who will ad-
dress the Y. M. c. A. meeting in the
afternoon, is to address the congre-
cation. Mr.. Ranny formerly was a
Bowery crook. For many years,
having been converted himself, he
has been taking his message to the
40 anu Oulo. mCh oAlJ Aioy
attend the afternoon meeting, but
the evening meeting, in the First
Baptist church, is open to all. 1t
was hoped to have Mr.. Ranny ad-
dress a union meeting, all the
churches giving up their individual
service for this purpose. But "the
best laid plans O. mice and men gang
aft agley." However. all who desire
may still hear him. Come. .

REASONS FOR Dis
MISSAL OF NURSES

replace her. Miss Engvall was en-
gagged as assistant superintendent.
The managers were advised concern
ing infraction of certain rules and
for reasons of their own found it ad-
visable to ask for their designations,
Mr.. Harrington stated. The resigna-
lions were not given, but the women
left. Miss Bessie Blair and Miss
Clara c. Peterson, both of whom had
training in the local hospital, were
engaged to fill the vacancies temper
arily, the president said. Mr.. Gar
retson said he represented one OF
the largest contributors and would
like to know the reasons for the dis
missals.
Mr.. harrington said he was per-
fectly willing to give them as there
was no desire to hide anything. He
stated controversies had been avert
ed, but if a member of the board de-
sired to know particulars they would
be forthcoming, and he proceeded to
give them. He said the former SUI
perintendent and her assistant had
repeatedly violated standing rules
governing their positions. The su-
per~intendent and the assistant must
not both be away at the same time,
and of this violation there had been
several instances. On one occasion
In particular the superintendent was
out of town and the assistant was

THE CURRENCY BILL

The opposition to the currency bill comes from
the big banks.
During the last fifty years the national banks
have had almost complete control of the issue and
distribution of the currency. This is a government
function which the president wants restored to
congress-
The Wall Street banks fear the Wilson bill
will take from their hands the control of the coun
try's financial system.
1t is conceded that the country requires an ex-
panded currency and at greatly reduced rates of
interest.
One objection to the bill is that the additional
currency is to beissued through the national banks
One Congressman proposes to allow the banks
six per cent for this service.
