BOARD OF WORKS RENTS
FINE AGAINST SCAVENGER

On the recommendation of the
street committee through its chair
man, Charles p. Gillen. the Board of
Works yesterday afternoon RENTED
to Joseph Marrone. the scavenger
contractor, the fine of $4,000 which
had been deducted from his March
payment.
The fine was inflicted with view
of compelling Marrone to comply
strictly with the terms of his con-
tract with the city. After many at
tempts to have him provide separate
wagons for garbage and ashes the
board as a last resort inflicted the
fine of $500 a day, allowed by the
terms of the contract, for period of
nine days. This amount was de-
Quoted in March and has since re-
manned in the city Golfers.

CHALLENGE RIGHT
TO RUN NEW CARS
Works Board Also Thinks Rails
Are Too FraiI for Trenton
Line Operation.

The question of whether the Pub
lie Service Railway Company has the
right to operate the Newark Trenton
high-speed line through Newark with
out a special grant was raised at a
meeting of the Board of Works yes
terday afternoon.
The suggestion of Commissioner
Charles P. Gillen that the company
be served with notice to discontinue
the operation of the line was voted
down as being too radical. and the
matter was referred to Chief Engineer
Morris r. Sherrerd for a report two
weeks hence.
The question came up on the appli-
cation of the company for permission
to stop the cars at only stated points
below Clinton avenue and Broad
street. At the time the application
was made several weeks ago the same
question was raised, which resulted
in action being deferred
1t is the contention of several of the
commissioners that the line is being
operated by the Public Service Rail-
road Company and not the Public
Service Railway Company. The for
mer has no franchises in this city,
and it is on this point that the con-
tention is made that a special grant
should be secured for the line.
Last week John l.. O'Toole, repre-
senting the Public Service, explained
that the line was being operated in
this city by the railway company and
outside of the city by the railroad
company. He contended that the
former holds a franchise for the
trackage in this city and that it Is
well within it's rights in operating the
line without any special permission.
A letter to the same effect was re-
ceived yesterday from General Edwin
w. Hine, secretary.
Further objection was made by the
board to the weight of the new cars.
AS pointed out by Mr.. Sherrerd, they
are held to be too heavy for the pres
ent rails on Broad street and cause
too much vibration. especially in the
lower section of the street.
1t is held that even IL the line is
permitted to continue in service the
present rails should be replaced by
heavier ones, more able to stand the
extra weight of the high-speed line
cars. 1t is on this point that Mr..
Sherrerd will report.

the principal stakeholder. Mr.. Shoe
maker wrote him letter last April
informing him that his company had
says he received no response and the
legal action followed.
In it's bill, the Van Deman &
wainwright Company gives an alb
stract of it's own history. 1t was
organized on November 8, 1912, when
Frank L. Van Deman and Jesse s..
wainwright, both of this city, con-
veyed their interest to the present
company and retired.
The company's speciality was the
sale of Peerless tires. 1t has over
800 agents in New Jersey, New York.
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
South Carolina and West Virginia,
and conducts a mail order business
that extends over the whole United
$780, 900 in advertising the Peerless
tire, and has sold more than $1,000, 900
worth of tires of Peerless make.
The principal cause of complaint
arises from the alleged havoc that
the new company is playing with the
original company's business in deal
ing in inferior and manufactured
tires and what is commonly known
as seconds. This is put down as de-
ception by the complainants. In adj
dition to seeking to have the Peer
less Tire Company restrained from
using that name. Van Deman &
wainwright ask that the company be
held accountable to them for all its
profits since the time of it's incor-
poration.

STORE GIVES ROOF DANCE

The third of a series of roof
dances" to be conducted by the Elbeco
Club this season was held last night
on the roof of Bamberger's depart
ment store, in Market street, and was
well patronized. The evening was

its evident success last night 1t will
evidently be repeated at the future

PENNSYLVANIA R. R. TO
ABOLISH GRADE CROSSINGS

Grade-crossings are to be elimin-
ated by the PennSylvania railroad.
according to an announcement of the
officers of the company.
The engineers have been at work
on the embarrassing problem for
many months, and according to their
report it will cost $500, 900. 900 to abol-
ish the grade-crossings. The report
shows that 10000 grade-crossings on
1000 miles of trackage will have to
be abolished and that the work on
each will cost on an average of
10000.
The official decree stipulates that it
will probably be fifty years before all
the crossings are abolished, but that
1t will be started at once and con-
tinued as rapidly as funds and labor
permit.

TWO GRANITE PAVING
CONTRACTS AWARDED

Two contracts for the paving of
Crawford and Bowery streets, which
have been held up for some time
past, were finally executed by the
Board of Works yesterday afternoon
with the Joseph Hughes Construction
Company.
The awards were made over a
month ago, but subsequently a report
went the rounds that the Hughes
Company had assigned it's interest in
the contracts TO a member of the
mysterious "B. M. l.. Company"
William ]. Murtaugh, better known as
BILLY Murtha," who is the president
of the latter company, was formerly
connected with the Hughes concern,
and it was to him that the alleged
assignments were said to have been
made.
Mr. Hughes, who was present at
the session of the board, denied most
emphatically that any assignments
had been made, and declared that his
company had no intention of handing
over it's interest in the contracts.
Both streets are to be paved with
oblong granite block. Bowery street
from Ferry to Market street and
Crawford street from Washington to
High street.
On motion Commissioner Albert H.
Biertuempfel, chairman of the COM
mittee on lighting, was directed to
make a detailed report to the board
on the plan to replace the present
oioat~to ~ Hobts with the new Gem
eral Electric flaming arcs. AS ex-
planned in The Star week ago, 1t Is
the plan of the board, If reasonable
terms can be secured, to distribute
the flaming arcs throughout the city.
The contract for the present lamps
expires on September I.

The present-day automobile is a
wonderful conveyance. Automobile
builders are following closely the
plans laid down by the builders of
yachts. In other words, the modern
automobile is so built that every
available inch of space is used for
some purpose. In days gone by when
Automobiles toured they fastened
their trunks to the trunk rack in the
rear. Today the new method Is to
put the valises, grips or portman-
teaus into the space made possible
by the top being folded back. The
dust covers are fastened over the top
and make an ideal receptacle for ar
ticles of travel.
1t was only a short time ago that
the running board of the average gas
car was cluttered with necessary
things, yet which had no place what
ever there. The new cars have their
running boards as clean as possible.
without obstruction of any kind.
Other places have been found for the
tools, the battery box and other
things that were formerly carried on
the running board. The new type of
car is as slick as a -groomed

horse. There isn't an item visible
to take away the beauty of the car.
Manufacturers have taken heed of the
owners desire for a clean looking
car, and have laid out their beauty
designs in such a way that the
things that formerly were visible
have now been placed in a conven-
lent spot but invisible to the eye of
the onlooker.
The manufacturers of the Pierce
Arrow car have adopted the newest
thing in headlight attachments. It
was first displayed at the foreign
show held at the Aston Hotel, New
York, during January. and consists
of having the headlights a part of
the front tenders. 1t is a clever idea
and eliminates having to keep the
headlights polished as is the case
with headlights that are detachable.
The Pierce-Arrow headlights being
part of the fender are naturally
Japanned black. the same as the
fender, with connections underneath
the fender. making it possible to
reach the connections without any
difficulty. 1t gives the fender a racy
look, and, to the writer's opinion.
adds much beauty to the appearance
of the car.
