that he did not think that things
were altogether right in the depart
ment as he had heard that at recent
fire the department had been criti-
cised
Mr.. Mertz said the attorney was
working on the matter and that as
the fire committee of the council was
in full control of the department there
was no necessity for hurry.
Mr.. DeGraw said that he was under
the impression that he had been given
one months time to obtain the books,
and stated that the books were not
necessary and would only involve diff
ficulties and expense. Mr.. Mertz took
objection to this and stated that as
the council was in control without
any question whatsoever they should
have everything belonging to the de-
partment
Mr.. carragher contended that Mr..
DeGraw had always made those
statements without proving them, and
wanted the books to have the matter
settled. Mr.. DeGraw stated that he
was awaiting some data from the
chief and would proceed Immediately.

a girl, romping about the courtroom

NO OBJECTIONS MADE TO
CONSTRUCTION OF SEWER

No objections were received by the
Belleville Town Council last night
to the plans for a sewer system to
be laid throughout the town. A
suggestion that special election be
held to permit the people to express
their views was not regarded fas
vorably.
The suggestion was made by
Charles O'Neill, a member of real
estate company. He said that while
the improvement would benefit some
property-owners, it would work
hardship on others. He thought that
a majority of people did not under
stand the matter. Harry Machette,
superintendent of the water depart
ment, will get the sentiment of the
property-owners on Washington ave-
nue. as to where they would want
the sewer pipes laid

city, together with three small plots

CONTRACT MIDDLE !
STILL UNSETTLED.
Boards Failure to Meet flinders
Solution of Problem in
Kearny.

Because the Board OF Education o.
Kearny failed to meet last night, the
tangle existing over the awarding of a
contract for work to be done on Pub
lie School No 6, that town, is not yet
settled
James J. Dunn, contractor. who
submitted bid for the work, which
is for the building of a fire-proof
stairway and minor changes in the
school, was present last night to pro-
test action which he alleged had taken
place since the last meeting of the
Board of Education. But two of the
school commissioners appeared, how
ever, and the board failed to meet for
lack of quorum.
1t appears that according to the
records of Municipal Superintendent
John d. Castle that the contract for
the work has been awarded to Terry
M. Mears, of this city, whose bid was
$4,000, while at the last meeting of
the board a week ago the award was
given to J. Allen Conl1lin, whose
figure was $3,577.
Dunn claims that the board should
consider his bid in the event of Mr..
Conklin being turned down. He says
his bid was 1878, which if selected
would save the town $1O7. He will
file a protest at the next meeting of
the board and demand an explanation
as to why Mears was awarded the
contract.
Despite the alleged awarding OF
two contracts, Charles Som, chair
man of the building committee of the
Board of Education, informed Dunn
last night that he had not affixed
his signature to a contract with Mr..
Mears, according to Mr. Dunn.
