Local Plant Not
To Be Moved
Supt. Hoffecker Explains Con.
ditions

Many Newark citizens have been
much concerned during the past
few days over rumor to the effect
that the American Vulvanized
Fibre Company was contemplating
shutting down a certain portion of
the local plant and that in the fu-
ture the work of this particular
kind would be done at the Will
mington plant. The report, how
ever, was denied this morning by
Superintendent Harvey Hoffecker.
Mr.. Hoffecker explained that be-
cause of scarcity of work the
plant will be run only five days a
week for the present but full time
will be resumed when the addition
al business requires it. He stated
that as far as he knew there was no
contemplation of removal Of a
part of the plant to Wilmington.

Commissioners
Answer Criticism
Issue Statement Over sigma
lures

During the past week consider
able criticism has been heard be-
cause Of the decision of the Sewer
Commission not to sewer South
Chapel street south Of the Della
ware avenue line to the town limits
a short distance beyond. This crit
icism aimed at the Commission as
sumed the aspect of a personal
thrust at member of the Commits
sion, who owns the abutting prop
erty on both sides of the street. In
explanation Of their action Mayor
Hossinger and Doctor Kollock, the
other members, have assumed en-
tire responsibility, although the
member owning the property in
sists upon his willingness to abide
by the decision Of the Commission.
The change in plans has been made
on the advice of the resident engi-
neer. There is only one residence
affected by the ruling, and this can
be connected with the sewer run
ming along Delaware Ave. Should
this extension be made it would be
necessary to install a pumping
station at an expenditure Of pub
lie funds to the amount Of $4,000.
Although in the original plans
this was provided for, 1t was nGt III
cluded in the detailed specltica-
tions submitted to the bidders.
Confirming the above, the fol
lowing statement has been issued :
upon the advice of our
chief engineer that an exten-
sion Of the sewer on South
Chapel street, from Delaware
avenue to the town limits,
would be useless expenditure
of at least $4,000 of the public
funds, the Sewer Commission
has decided to eliminate this
part of the construction as
provided for in the original
plans. We wish to state, how
ever, that this decision was
reached before the special elec-
ton held last May. Realizing
that a great saving Of money
will be made and that no prop
erty will be deprived of any
benefits, we, the undersigned,
assume responsibility for this
action. -

Ell. G.. M. Kollock.

Topeka.-Carl C. Witt, engineer for

millions of cubic feet of gas were

Mr. Witt urged that the commits

which all manufacturing gas should
be shut off and the entire supply used
for domestic purposes exclusively,
even heating with gas being prohib-
tied.
Because of the carelessness in oper-
ating WELLS and the great loss of gas,
Mr.. Witt asserts that there is no COM

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is q Simple Way of Cor
recfing it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
injure themselves by the use of
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tiers, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
1t is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Peps1n- 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine. 1t is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin-
1t is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved of a Sc
we're cough which had troubled her
for months. The special value of this
grand laxative tonic is that it is suit
