Contract Is Awarded for
OutfalI Pressure Tunnel
of Big Sewer for 10000

The contract for the construction
of section two of the general trunk
sewer plan was awarded yesterday
afternoon by the Passaic Valley Sew
erage Commission to the O'Rourke
Engineering and Construction Com
pany, of New York. Their bid was
ST, 1856 900. The section is known as the
outfall pressure tunnel and runs from
a point near Robbins reef lighthouse
under New York bay to the Jersey
shore, thence through private lands
and Thompson avenue, Jersey City,
to a point about 200 feet northwest
of the old Bergen road.
The bid of the O'Rourke Company
was more than a quarter of a million
dollars lower than the next lowest
Lidder.
The contract is considered the most
important of all in the entire under
taking. 1t calls for the laying of the
big fiume under section of Jersey
City. Besides, the length of the Sec
ton is nearly three miles.
When this contract is started there
will be eighteen miles of the big drain
under the course of construction Six
miles are already completed. The
total length of the sewer is twenty
six miles, leaving only eight miles to
be finished.

months.

expressed itself well pleased with his
latest offering he has little misgivtng
as to it's ultimate success In New

Unfortunately for Mr.. Scarborough,
he has not only had to bear the strain
of an opening of his new play. but one
of his children is very i'll and this has
added enormously to the burden he
has to bear.
When asked If he anticipated any
interference from judicial quarters
during the presentation of his play
both in New York and on the road,
Mr.. Scarborough said that in his opin-
ion he would be left unmolested and
that he has uttered no contempt o.

Urges Federal Bureaus
to Keep Tally on Jobless

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-Recom-
mendations for the establishment OF
bureaus, to be operated in connection
with the postoffices throughout the
country, which are to officially regis
ter labor cond tons, so that the num-
Der of unemployed may be definitely
determined at any time, are con-
tanned in the annual report today of
t. v. Powderly, chief of the division
of information of the department of
labor. Mr.. Powderly would have these
bureaus cooperate between the I'M
employed and the employment agen-
cies, with a view of creating better
conditions.
The report suggests the establish
ment of a branch of the division OF
information in every industrial centre
of the United States for the purpose
of maintaining registers of those
seeking employment and of those in
need of additional workmen."

SITTING WITH THE. AUTHOR AS
THE LAST RESORT" Is PLAYED
Evening Star Reporter Studies
Scarborough During Perform
ance at the Shubert.
by L. H. BEssELL.

1t has often been said and only too
truly, that words are not always nee
essary to express ones emotions
more impressive message of the tur-
mol or happiness that runs riot with
in US.
This fact is most expressively
demonstrated when one sits with
George Scarborough, author of THE
Lure" and lat Bay" as his new cor
pt-judiciary- exposing play, THE
Last Resort" is being unfolded to the
audiences at the Shubert Theatre this
week.
Many persons would say that as he
has already written and seen pro-
duced two of the seasons most sue
cessful offerings, he is accustomed to
the sensations of a first night or first
week. This Is a state of feel ng that
no author has ever enjoyed when his
pen picture was being reproduced be-
hind the footlights and Mr. Scarbor-
ough is no exception
Nervousness and anticipation show
in every move that he makes and h s
constant thought is: How can 1 add
to the punch and strengthen that
scene" This statement is not sup
position, but one that he has made to
me several times.
During the acts Mr.. Scarborough
sits huddled in his chair watching
intently every gesture, every move
and every expression of the members
of the company. If something goes
wrong quick shake of his head
shows that he has not only seen but
felt the mistake. When a situation
Is nearing a climax he scans the audi
ence. or, as he terms them, the judge,
and If the climax is received by them
as he believes it ought to, then the
child in him reigns supreme and he is
as happy as a tot with a new toy.
Already new lines and elimination Of
old and unsatisfactory ones have BEEN
made by the author, and he declar IS
this process of elimination and inser-
ton will continue until the pl ~
reaches the pinnacle of his aspira-
ton. Then, and only then, will he
close his desk on the manuscript Of
THE Last Resort"
To sit with Mr.. Scarborough through
an act or so of his new play is a
unique experience. Deep in study he
will suddenly turn on you exclaiming,
81 need a punch in there and ] know
I've got it," and the next second he is
lost again In a deep study of his play.
To divert his attention from the
stage for even a moment is an almost
impossible task, for he is lost to the
world of life when the world of make
believe is being presented.
Not satisfied with the writing and
production of three successful plays,
