DISCHARGED MEN
ALL TAKEN BACK
Works Board Restores Speer
oassing and Frapagadona.
Words Over BituIithlc.

Three employees of the Board of
Works who were dropped within the
past few months were restored to
good standing at yesterdays meet
Ing. Two were reinstated at the order
G. the Civil Service Commission,
which held that their discharge was
Irregular while the third was taken
back on the recommendation of Chief
Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd.
They are Charles Speer, a watch
man; Vincenzo Frapagadona, laborer,
and William G. Dassing. stenog-
rapher in the surveyors department.
Dassing and Speer were dropped
January and Frapagadona about
two months ago.
Both Frapagadona and Speer ap-
pealed to the Civil Service Commits
sion claiming that they had been let
out for political reasons and not for
the sake of economy as set forth by
the board. In it's decision the COM
mission upheld their contention and
yesterday ordered their reinstate-
ment.
Frapagadons, at first claimed wages
for the time he has been under sus-
pension, but when the board showed
an inclination to fight his claim and
hold up his reinstatement until such
time as it was settled, he waived all
rights to back pay.
Bitulithic Arguments.
Further objection was offered by
Commissioner Gillen against the lay
ing of any more bitulithic pavements
The matter was brought up when a
motion was made to have the en-
gineer draw specifications for the
paving of South Twentieth street
with this style of pavement.
His stand on this matter was ques-
toned by Commissioner Biertuempfei
He referred to the three post cards
presented by Mr.. Gillen last week,
signed by three property-owners and
denying having signed petitions for
bitulithic pavement.
81 am tired of this entire matter
declared Mr. Biertuempfel. ''Mr. Gill
len is trying to put this board in the
position of favoring a paving COM
pany, while he alone is looking after
the interests of the city. We ought
to have an investigation, not by the
chairman of the street COMMITTEES
alone, but by the entire board"
To this Mr.. Gillen replied: IT COM
mend the spirit of the commissioner
in defending the Standard Bitulithic
Company. BY all means let us have
an investigation. I believe that the
more Investigations we have the less
bitulithic will be laid in Newark
In connection with the three post
cards presented last week a com.
munication was received from Ralph
Hoyt, superintendent of the Standard
Bitulithic Company, claiming thai
Mr.. Gillen was in error. 1t reiterated
also that the company would dis.
charge on the spot any of its solicitors
who obtained signature by misrep.
resentation or promises. Aff1davits

suggested at a recent meeting Of that

and be asked either TO make more funds

tlon the information still lacking to com
plete the Investigations now under way.
This deficient information has to do with
the transfers which were issued and
analysed for every transfer point, hour
by hour for each two intersecting lines.
With this information in hand your
commission could be furnished with
report upon the proper routing and
scheduling of the whole trolley system

being the Park place terminal. It is,
therefore, recommended that your sec

work in the solution of the now press

In the forthcoming report diagrams
will be submitted for every trolley line

Inconvenience riders; where extensions
could probably be made; what is the
present average ride per person, and
what the ride would be under changed
routes and schedules; what is the pres

To do these things beyond the posi-
bility of criticism by the: company and
the public. and to gain quick results, co
operation and funds are Deeded--coopera-
tion both from the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners and the Public
Service Corporation. Neither party in
volved in this problem desires more than
fair return for money spent-in the
one case for car fares of riders, and in
the other for money spent for present
trackage and equipment and for con-

Appropriations of the last session
of Congress, including the sundry
civil and the Indian appropriation
bills which failed at the last mo-
ment. but which are to be put
through at the coming extra session,
aggregated 81, $50.
The annual statements given out
today by Chairman Fitzgerald, of the
appropriations committee, and by
former Speaker Cannon for the Re-
publicans, agree on that total
Mr.. Cannon adds, however, that in
addition to that amount, contracts
authorized for public works involve
further expenditures of s76.956,174.
Mr.. Cannon. analyzing the figures,
declared that the appropriations
made and obligations created during
the entire Sixty-Second Congress ag-
gregated $2,23S, an excess of
almost $4,000, 200 over the previous
Republican Congress, and that the
probable deficit in the revenues for
1914 will be $1S3. 3.S21,626

trast with what the Democratic

Mr.. Cannon. the former Speaker.
Ia his statement. said in part:
All performances OF Republican
Houses pale into utter insignificance
when placed in contrast with what
the Democratic House OF Representa-
tives OF the SixtySecoud Congress
has accomplished in emptying the
Treasury and pIling up obligations
against revenues TO be derived by
direct taxation and from revenue OF
free-trade tariff laws. for which the
new administration stands commit
ted and solemnly pledged.
The present Congress, with its
large Democratic majority in the
House, has increased direct appro-
priations over those made by the pre-
vious Congress, controlled by a
Republican majority in both
branches. by the immense sum of
$63. .476, 6,100,22, and the contract
liabilities and obligations in the ma
ture of authorized public works. ad-
ditional to specific appropriations. for

ed direct appropriations and author

Nor SHOULD it be overlooked that
of the $43,454, Jas of contracts au-
thoriZed at the last session of the last

the next fiscal year, under existing
Federal tax laws will amount to only
$991,791, sos, or S1O6,S56,4 ,452.21
less than the direct appropriations
made this session, and if we add to
the latter the sum of contracts and
obligations authorized in addition
that will have to be appropriated for

And so we have this situation:
