tArg where do we come in ? We have nots been consulted before. We have had no part in making the contracts The case last year which Ald der1lla,n MacFayden cites is not parallel with this situation E
 sss ssI.ast year the board of apportion- uent made an appropriation for ma cadaln repairs. It was afterWard de- scided to use it in oonnection with state highway building in Fa1E11ela avenue Nothing was sad about War renfte or any other pavement and no member of the commission was con suited. The first we knew of War renite was when we discovered it was being laid in Fairfield avenue
 s.Ilafer we found it was being lald in Connechcut avenue eare was pslrl -. of state highway construction on which the commission was not con-
 suited We were not consulted about
 Connecticut avenue and did not know about it until. former Commtssloner Lashar of this board wanted to drive
 through there and found the street closed and the pavement being laid.
 Mayor Wilson here interfered to in ollire about alleged correspondence Of Presideht Rogers with Warren broth CTS previous to the paving or F'a1r7 field. avenue. Gommissioner Brovzf1 objected saying the speaker ought to be allowed to proceed and that the conference was not for the purpose of hearing debate between two per sons. MT Rogers continued.
 .I know a great many property owners who. do not want Warrenite at $1.36 per square yard which IS the a DOT eSxina,te price of this pavement ! I want to ask the mayor what's the difference between the Standard l Bfthulithic Go. that laid pavement in the County of Queens, N T., Tor Sl-ll per square yard and the Warren
 brothers who ask us to pay Sl-s0 per
 square yard for pavement here!
 ssMy objection to the contract is
 that it isn't good business and the city Lis not getting its moneys worth If
 the council wants to go through With I it don't think there is a man on
 this board who will raise hand to 1 stop it."
 l Commissioner O'Rourke compli-
 mented the committee on the manner which they had presented the matter l to the commission.

7T has made minimizing people think and suspicious persons more suspi- cious of the dofngs of public officials.
 sIt has come to a question of whether this commission, which was created by special act. of the 4eglsla- lure, is to be permitted to do its work, or whether the work is to be done in improper and Illegal manner by board of aldermen in defiance or the law. Is the paving commission AtVvortH1y to live, or fit to dief pTo- claim the fitness of the paving com
 mission to live on and do lls WoTf1s- appeal to you my colleagues, to see that the commission lives on and that there is no encroachment of its pow CTS by any other body.
 Turning to the mayor and alder manic committee he said;
 'fThis meeting is not of our seek ing. You have created the condltion in which you find yourselves You and yous alone are responsible for this situation
 Mayor Wilson then reviewed the manner. in which the Warrenite con tracts were made.
 s.dr Mayor" said President Rog- CTS. Didn't a representative of War ren brothers see you last fall ana ask how. much money would be available this year for paving and arrange to leave plants here so that they would be avaiIa bIe for work this year2
 tsYes indeed one did, replied the mayor, sssand the plants are here now and work is ready to begin.
 President Rogers said he did not think the citizens wanted the major portions of the paving bonds spent for Warrenite on outside streets. He mentioned Housatonic avenue, Cres- cent avenue, Railroad and SouthI ave- nues as streets over which e heavy trucking passed every day. He said that very nearly s1o0,000 was tosco1ne back into the city treasury from as- sessments for permanent pavement that has been laid and that pavement other than Warrenite would be re- qufred on streets mentioned Commissioner Brown said that the meeting was not for the purpose of considering the merits of any kind of 1 and sewer commission stood ready to do it's duty and that it would always let contracts by competitive bids
 'sIn this situation he said, it looks to me as if someone has got ten into hole and was calling on the paving and sewer commission for 8, derrick to hoist them out" |. Commissioner DeLoss said it was publicly known how he stood on the | matter He said: eff a lawsuit re- suits think the Warren brothers can hold the city only up to the $3s,ooo LhS aIAAodhI No1So AOA AAAe-
 pairs.''
 President Rogers said the Warren brothers could only recover damages for the amount of profit they might lose if the contracts are not kept
 t-I cannot see that Warrenite is to be used only for macadam repairs and not as permanent pavement. ' said Commissioner Clampett the new member of the board when his opin- l ion was asked.

LIEUT. VIERRIT SAYS
 SEAMAN JACKSON DIDN'T BREAK NOS
c Commander of Naval Reserves. Discussed Episode at AFmOry When Seaman Painted.


 Lieut. A. J. Merritt, commandiuE Third Division Naval Reserves of. this city, denies that a seaman named Jackson fell and broke his nose after an injection of anti-typhoid serum at the state armorys Monday night. Ip the Farmer, Lieut.. Merritt said tp- day:
 My attention has been called to story in Wednesdays Farmer in which 1t is alleged that a seaman named Jackson had fallen and broken hiz nose after an injection Of anti-typhoid serum the serum used in the prsven- ton of typhoid fever. This story was probably based upon the fact that tris member Jackson tainted during the roll call of the division.
 s.He explained thta he had been swimming in the afternoon and had been out in the hot sun and it was due to this and also the fact that the armory was very warm that he fainted. This occurred some time be- fore pr. Grove, the surgeon, arrived Tn few minutes the young man full ly recovered and requested that he receive the treatment This was glv en him by the surgeon and he appar- ently suffered no ill effects from the treatment whatever
 Jackson did not break his nose when he fell. Nearly all the members Of the division including myself have talk en two treatments already without any bad effects or results. Over 70t0O0 men in the army and navy have been linocculated with this anti-typhoid se- rum and there has not been one serious result from taking the treatment nos one single case of typhoid fever"

The new JERSEY ELECTION

In studying the returns of the Congressional
election in New Jersey, the principal signifi-
caneesappears to be in the changed relations of
the Republican and Progressive vote
The district is nominally Republican, In the
Goyernorship contest of 1910 it gave the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor a majority of more
than five thousand over Mr. Wilson, the Demo-
cratic candidate.
In the national election of 1910 Bremmer, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, received a
vote of 1890; Smith, Republican, $685.; and
Marelli, Progressive, 4,746. At the same cleo
ton the Presidential vote was Wilson, Demo-
crat, 1850; Taft Republican, 5,349; Roosevelt,
Progressive, 1701.
From the general idea which can be secured
from the brief figures given in the cable the full
vote of the district was by no means poIled.
Apparently the Republicans and Progressives
got together and voted for the Republican can
didate, the Democrats were Indifferent, and the
Progressiyes, they even tried, must have been
dismal failure with only GIL votes to their
credit.

rise in prices which has been going steadily onward
for some years has been fully checked.
There is ground for fear that the farmers of

while in the last census the rural population of the
country increased but IL per cent the urban popua
