LOAN ISSUE SPLIT INTO
PIECES TO HELP BUYER

To accommodate the New York
bankers who purchased the issue in
bulk, the finance committee of the
Common Council last night split the
one-million- dollar temporary loan
bond issue into ten pieces at 100000
each. 1t was explained that the pur-
chasers could dispose of the bonds to
their customers much easier in the
smaller pieces.
1t was on the recommendation of
City Comptroller Tyler Parmly that
the committee took up the question.
He explained that the entire block
had been purchased by the banking
firm of L. Won Hoffman & Co, of New
York, from the Guaranty Trust Com
pany. The former recently requested
that it be split up and Mr.. Parmly
called the finance committee into
special session to act upon the re-
quest.
The bond issue is the usual one in
anticipation of taxes and was sold at
par and AZ per cent, interest to the
trust company on April l last. Mr..
Parmly, in urging the granting of
the request, stated that he looked
upon the city's financial business the
same as that of any private firm and
that was, to be agreeable to its Gus
toners, in this case the firm which
purchased the bonds. The resolution
granting the request was carried
unanimously.

MUST REFUND MONEY
TO FISHERIES COMPANY

An echo of the suit brought by
Marcus and William Goodbody
against Ordener j. Delaney, of
Moorestown. n. j., was heard in
Chaneery Court today when Vice
Chancellor Howell signed a decree
directing Delaney to refund the sum
of 1854, 096.19 to the Fisheries Com
pany of New Jersey, corpora ton of
which he was general manager and,
in which capacity, he was charged
with having diverted part of the
company's profits to himself.
OF the amount he must refund to
the Fisheries Company under the
vice chancellor's order $4,000 repre-
sents the value of the property of the
Fisheres Company, which Delaney is
charged with having disposed of
when he became receiver of the COM
pany. The balance of the refund
represents profits said to have been
taken by Delaney from leases he
made to the Menhaden Fishing Com
pany for 1908 and 1909 after he had
been discharged as receiver and made
president of the rehabilitated COM
pany.
Delaney was practically the sole
owner of the Menhaden company in
1908, owing 240 of its $50 shares of
stock, the bill of complaint set forth.
While the second lease was in effect
the capitalization of the company was
increased from S25O00 to $43O, 600
Delaneys interest was not shown to
have been increased. SO he was called
upon in today's decree to account for
only 25-43d Of the profits.
Marcus and William Goodbody. who
live at Tenafly and Haledon, acted in
behalf of the twoscore stockholders
many of whom live in England and
Ireland In today's decree Delaney
who is said to be now in Los Angeles
Cal, was ordered to pay counsel
fee of $1,000 to Humphreys & Summer
of Paterson.

FIDELITY TRUST" ISSUES
EMPLOYEES PERIODICAL

When one passes such an institu-
ton as the Fidelity Trust Company, a
sentiment of curious, enquiring inter-
est arises in ones mind.
What vast stores of wealth are con-
tanned in the vaults of that build
ing is the first thought. Then there
follows the idea of the system that
guards and cares for this hoard of
popular savings, making it no I'M
fruitful store, but a means of in

The Fidelity Trust Company, doubt

CONTRACT FIGHT !.
ENDS SCHOOL WORK
Kearny Building Construction
Ordered Stopped by Board
of Education President.

At the instance of James ]. Dunn,
a Kearny contractor, Gerrish Newell.
president of the Kearny Board of
Education, has had work in Kear.
ney Public School No. stopped.
Dunn, who bid on the work at the
school in question, declared that the
board had not taken the proper course
when it awarded the contract to J.
Allen Conklin, of this city
Some days after the meeting Terry
NJ Mears, a Newark contractor, Sc
cured a permit TO do work in the
school. 1t appears that the contract
had been assigned to Mears. Mr..
Newell and Commissioner Charles
Som, of the building committee of
the school board, both declare they
never signed the contract for the
work.
In any event the work was pro-
ceeded with by Mears. Dunn COM
planned to Newell and the latter went
to the school and ordered Mears to
discontinue work until further no.
will take up the matter at a meet
ing tomorrow night. Today Mr..
Dunn, together with Messrs. Newell
and Son and Jones and Gleasons, law
yers of this city, whom Mr.. Dunn
has retained as counsel, held a con-
ference. The matter was thoroughly
gone over and assurance was given
that no work will be done until after
the board meeting.
Mr. Dunn said today that he had
not yet instructed his lawyers to APP
ply for an injunction, but he de-
clared he would if any attempt were
made by Mears to proceed with the
work under the present circum-
stances. Mr.. Dunn contends that the
work could not legally be awarded to
Mears because the board in open
meeting. had selected Conklin to do
the work. Should any change in the
contractor be desired, Mr.. Dunn
points out, it would be necessary to
readvertise. The Mears' figure is
$107 higher than that submitted by
Dunn. Conklin's bid was $3,577,
Dunn's 1878, and Mears $4,000
