Miss Mary Porter Beegle, secretary
OF the American Pageantry Associa-
ticn. addressed the committee OH
pageantry of the Committee Of One
Hundred in charge of the 25Oth an
niyersary celebration in 1916 at a
meeting i'll the Kinney building yes
terday.
Miss Beagle laid particular stress
on the commercial Importance Of the
city, and said that it was that fea-
ture Of the citys history that should
be emphasized most strongly in the
pageant. Miss Beegle suggested that
the development of the city be shown
in a series of spectacles which would
be indicative of the condition of the
city at various stages in Its history.
The production, Miss Beegle said,
should be a democratic one, and all
classes should be represented. The
school children, the speaker declared
should have q liberal part in the
pageant.
As in the case Of the other special
lists who addressed the members of
the pageantry committee, Miss Bee
gle was directed to prepare q writ
ten outline of her plan for pageant
here. showing the approximate num-
ber of persons who would take part,

ATTACK CONTRACTS
FOR STREET PAVING
Action Brought by UvaIde AS
phaIt Co. and Property-hold-
ers Heard in Court Here.

Contracts for paving two sections
Of the Hudson County Boulevard
J twenty-three streets in Bayonne and
seven sections of Bergen county roads
were under review at a special ses-
sion Of Part II. of the Supreme Court
at the local Court House yesterday
afternoon. Decision was reserved in
all the cases. The Uvalde Asphalt
Company, which has figured in dis
putes over paving contracts in this
city. is party in all of the proceed
ings-as the prosecutor Of a writ of
certiorari In the Bayonne cases and
as defendant In certiorari proceed
ings in the other cases.
The three justices of Part H.,
Swayze, Parker and Kalisch sat at
yesterdays session, which was only
for the purpose of hearing argument
in all OF the cases. Testimony, plead
ings and briefs were submitted some
time ago, and all that remained to be
done was to present argument.
Five writs of certiorari were OBJ
tained to review the Bayonne con-
tracts by the Uvalde company, which
did not get the awards; the Central
Bayonne improvement Association,
and Luther s. Cadmus, a property
owner affected by the contracts.
The mayor and city of Bayonne
were defendants to all five writs. The
asphalt company and its co-prose-
cutors allege that the contract and
specifications did not establish a fair
standard of bidding and prevented
fair and open competition; that the
proposed contract and specifications
were illegal; that the advertising of
them did not conform to the law; that
the petitions were not published as
required; that the Common Council
did not have on hand any proceeds
from sale of bonds before passing the
ordinances and advertising for pro-
posals on the improvements in ques-
ton, and lastly that the proposals
were illegal IN so far as the city at
tempted to combine in one proposal
a number of contracts for separate
streets.
The city of Bayonne denies all of
the allegations and claims that the
proposals, contracts and advertising
were all in conformity with the law.
Charles Mueller, taxpayer of West
Hoboken. is the party appealing from
the action of the Hudson County
Boulevard Commission in awarding
boulevard from Newark avenue to
Paterson Plank road, Jersey City, and
from Liberty place, Weehawken. to
Seventh street. The Uvalde Company
got the contracts. although it is
claimed its bid was $50 900 higher than
the Clinton Contracting Company, of
West Hoboken.
Charles NJ. Harrup is the citizen
appealing from the actions Of the Ber-
gen Board OF Freeholders in improv-
ing sections of certain roads In Ber-
gen. The argument in both the Hud-
son and Bergen county cases was on
the terms OF the specifications con-
tracts, surety bonds and manner of
payment for the work. The Uvalde
company figured in the Bergen con-
tract, also.
In local paving squabbles in the
Board of Works, Commissioners
Charles P. Gillen has fought several
specifications on the ground that the
terms shut out the Uvalde and other
companies.

CITY CHRISTMAS
TREE DISCUSSED
Municipal Association to Def

ing Next Tuesday.
PROVIDES ELIMINATION
OF EXPENSIVE FEATURES
Plans TO Have Children of
Churches Sing Carols Dur
ing Holiday.

The question OF whether the city
should have a municipal Christmas
tree this year was discussed at
meeting of the executive committee
of the Municipal Chris mas Tree As
ISOLATION in the Board of Trade rooms
yesterday. The sentiment expressed
by the members seemed to indicate
that sufficient funds could be raised
to install the tree, provided some OF
the expensive features which were
provided last year were eliminated.
The matter will be settled finally
next Tuesday afternoon, when the as
sociation will hold another meeting
In the Board of Trade rooms.
Shade Tree Commissioner John j.
Mooney, who donated the tree last
year. announced that he would sup
ply the tree again this year. DR..
Carl H. Wintsch favored the plan, and
said the city should have a tree, even
If the incidental features had to be
eliminated.
Carl Bannwart, secretary of the
committee, announced that he had re-
ceived thirty-five letters in response
to communications to persons who
had contributed to the fund last year.

the opinion that it would be unwise
to expend money for a Christmas tree
celebration this year when there was
such a vast number of the poor in
need of help throughout the city.
AS a means of saving expense Mrs.
Charles E. c. Smith suggested elimin-
ating the electric lights excepting the
large star which was placed on the
top of last years tree. DIR. Wintsch
volunteered to defray the expenses
of conveying the tree to this city.
Dr. Wintsch announced that should
the tree be had between 5000 and 10,-
600 children from different churches
would parade through the streets
singing Christmas carols as part Of
the celebration.
