County Clerk Gratified by
Efficiency of Evening Stars
Story on Election Returns

You have to give credit to the
Evening Star in the matter Of eff
clency,p said County Clerk Joseph
McDonough today
yesterday noon my Office gave out
a story for publication calling arten-
ton to the fact that a large number
of election officers had been derelict
in sending in election returns to this
office and were liable to removal from
office and also subject to fine OF
800 for such dereliction.
Attention was also SCALED to the
fact that unless all the missing cleo
lion returns were in the clerks office
by 7 O'clock last night q court ofncer
would be sent for them
What was the result? In less than
two hours after the story had peen
given to the Star a stream of cleo
ton officers began coming to Inc
office with the missing returns and by
I o. clock there was hardly a distrlct
in the city missing.
"And as for those returns that were
still missing full explanations. were
received in a short time. The election
officers either appeared personally at
the office or telephoned the informa--
ton that the missing returns would
be forthcoming within a few hours.
. ut was strong proof of the value
of the Evening Star as vehicle Tor
conveying information to the public,
and the story resulted in vastly aid
ing the work of this office in the off
cial compilation of the election re-
turns

City's Contract With Refuse
Collector Called Illegal

The contract entered into by this
city with Joseph Marrone for the re-
moval of ashes and garbage was at
tackled as illegal yesterday at Tren-
ton before Part of the Supreme
Court by Franklin w. Fort, repre-
senting Joseph Schilizzi and others.
City Attorney Herbert Boggs APP
peared in defense of the legality of
the contract. ~
Mr.. Fort first contended that there
is no power IN the Board of Works
to enter into a contract for term of
three years. His second point was
that under the amended garbage act
of 1902 there is no power in the board
to contract for anything but the re-
moval of ashes and garbage, whereas
the local contract also includes the re-
rnoval of paper and rubbish. The
third ground of attack was that the
contract was Illegal because it con-
tains provisions which divide the city
into districts, which means that a
portion of the city receives better
service than another portion.
