SUSPENDED CITY
MPLOYEESPUTO OUT
Works Board SummariIy Dis
charges 3 Who Pleaded by
Letter for Reinstatement.

Three Of the ten city employees
dismissed. and suspended two weeks
ago and then notified 10 show cause
why they should not be discharged,
came before the Board of Works
yesterday afternoon BY letter. All
three were dismissed from the city
employ. and there the proceedings
stopped, while the seven other af-
fected men. several of whom sat out
side the rail, wondered, and are stiA
wondering. whether they are to be
given a chance to defend themselves.
The board took no further action
on the dismissals after the three let
ters had been read. ne of the men,
Robert Baldwin. ir.. who was one
of those choosing to appear in per
son rather than in writing, entered
the chamber where the board was
assembled as the finance commit
tee and sought to state his case. lie
was told to so outside and wait until
the commissioners met as the Works
Board but he was not called when
that body assembled.
J. Louis Huber, clerk in the
water department. John Ashman. as
sistant superintendent of the depart
ment of works, and Charles Edwards,
also of the water department. were
the men dismissed yesterday. The
offices of Ashman and Edwards will
be abolished on March 81. Hubers
discharge took effect last night.
Huber fell under the axe after he
had admitted collecting water rents
and failing to turn them over to the
department.
The money was collected from G.
Sehurch, of 251 Runyon street and, as
the letter read, lowing to heavy losses
in real estate speculation and in the
payment of Doctors bills, l neglected
to pay the money but on March 10.
when Mr.. Schurch received letter
from the water department he called
my attention to the matter, and three
days later, when | secured the money,
I offered it to w. E. Allen, acting
accountant of the department. This
was in the forenoon and he told me to
wait and at p. IN. [ turned $25 over
TO him.
II recognize the improperly of my
conduct" Huber went on in his letter
II feel | Justly deserve the criticism.
and | throw myself on the mercies Of
the board for another chance, | beg
you to give me the chance to redeem
myself and to end the suffering and
pain inflicted upon my wife and
family
John Ashman, assistant superinten-
dent of the department of works, who
has been in charge of the street
cleaning department since 1894 who
was also one of those who fell under
the axe. protested by letter against
his discharge and said that he had
no knowledge of the charges against
him. Charles Edwards protested
against his dismissal but it was of
no avail, and it was resolved to
abolish his office ON March 81. Ash
man also goes out at that time.
Commissioner Denman was the only
member OF the board voting in the
negative on the dismissals. He spoke
in favor of more lenient measures in
Huber's case, and the discharge of
the other two men he branded as
''preemtory and ridiculous"

WOOD BLOCK RATES
WILL Be TESTED
Newark's Broad Street Pave.
ment Will Not Be Laid at
Trust Prices"


That the city may compete with the
large paving concerns, if ii buys the
wood block for paving Broad street.
chief Engineer Sherrerd was instruct
ed by the Board of Works yesterday
afternoon to investigate prices. This
was to avoid what Commissioner Gill
len referred 10 as trust prices and
which he later explained were special
prices and rebates he thought were
made by the block companies for the
important paving concerns, to freeze
out the smaller contractors.
The commissioner believed, he said,
that the city will materially save IN
buying the block. He thought that
the manufacturers should be COM
PEELED to give guarantee on the life
of the block. and, at any rate, he said,
the city would Know what it is get
ting.
For Steel reinforcement.
William p Field an engineer en-
ployed by the North Broad Street
Business Mems Association to assist
in the paving, appeared before the
committee ON streets to ask that the
. specifications be made to include a
Slttl IeilliOICeilSili III the AouiudbipAi
and that the manufacturer or con-
tractor be made to furnish u guar
antee for the life of the brick.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd could not
agree with him ON steel reinforce
ments for the entire length of the
street He SAID il would cost 40 cents
a. square yard more and he did not
believe this was justified when the
small cost of repairing depressions
was considered The matter was re-
ferred to the engineer to consider in
Guiding i'm the specifications, a clause
providing for steel reinforcement
wherever it is found necessary"
Hereafter traffic will move only in
an easterly direction on Bank street
from Washington to Broad. and in a
northeriy direction on Beaver street
from Market TO Clinton This was
ordered by the board on the recon-
mendation OF the police department
and will greatly facilitate traffic in
the city's most used section. Nor
will vehicles be permitted to stand
unattended on Clinton street from
Broad to Mulberry street for more
than fifteen minutes at a time.
Pennsylvania Reply.
Ia a letter to the board the Penn
sylvania Railroad explained that if it
lowered it's fare of is cents between
the Park place and Summit avenue
sta tions of the Hudson aud Manhat-
tan Railroad other commuters, whose
fare is based on the same mileage,
would complain. Not satisfied with
laying the matter on the table, how
ever, Commissioner Gillen moved that
il be taken up with the Public Utili-
ties Commission The commission
will be asked to pass an opinion on
whether or not a reduction would be
justified.
i. Chief Engineer Sherrerd made no
report on the grade crossings in this
city. Assistant City Attorney Boggs
preferred that he wait another week
so that the law department. can look
up the recently passed grade crossing
bill and determine what course to
pursue toward abolishing the cross
ngs here.
The high pressure water system will
be extended from Broad street
through Mechanic street to Mulberry
and north TO Market.
