MOntclair Councilman Plans
Engineering Survey OF Town

Councilman DR.. Maxwell Foshay,
of Montclair, who was appointed
chairman of the roads and sewers
committee of the Town Council at
the organization of the Council, jan
uary last, is planning an engineer
ing survey Of the entire town of
Montclair. Since the towns organi-
zatio its surveying has been done by
different private surveyors, employed
as needed from time to time
For the money so spent the town
received the engineers results, but
never his records of field work or de-
tail record plans. These remained
the private property of the surveyor.
The result is that the town has no
streets and property lines, of storm
and sanitary sewers and of many
other subsurface structures and other
local improvements. It is DR..
Foshay's plan to push the work of
surveying and monum enting, now
that the town has its own engineer
ing department, which is in charge Of
Town Engineer Edgar s. Closson.
1t is hoped that a complete perma-
nent set of engineering records, in
GLIDING an accurate topographic map
Of the town, can be completed in two
years without interfering with the
regular routine work of the engi-
neer's office. DR.. Foshay will present
his plan to the Town Council at an
early date. The Council now has
ample fire-proof storage vaults In the
new municipal building in which the
records can be safely kept.

ERIE COMMUTER
PRIVILEGE HOLDS
New Clause on Monthly Tickets
Doesn't Affect Them,
Says Underwood.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.--As the re-
suit of protests, made by Erie rail-
road commuters, President Under
wood yesterday explained that the
new clause on the January tickets
was inserted to protect the road,
and that they had no Intention OF
restricting the commuters. Mr. IN
derwood's explanation WAS made in
a letter to Truman II. Baldwin, a
lawyer OF Al Park row, who lives at
Nyack, N. Y.
Mr.. Baldwin said yesterday THAI
he had called at the offices OF this
Erie railroad after receiv ing his jan
uary ticket with the new clause and
questioned officials of the COM
pany. They told him, he said, that
the clause would be enforced and
that the railroad could do nothing
else under the rulings of the inter
state Commerce Conmiss on and the
New Jersey Public Utilities Conn
mission Mr.. Baldwin, backed by
several other commuters Nv
ing at Nyack, prepared a pro.
test and sent it to President
Underwood. He pointed out that I'M
der the ruling commuter would not
be permitted to use his ticket except
to or from the two stations named
on it's face, and that IL he got on
at an informed ate station his corn-
mutation ticket would not be ac~
cepted.
II called at the general passenger
agents department, room $50, Hude
son terminal building" Mr.. Baldwin
wrote, land was informed that un-
der the new restriction, If in the
morning went to SparkiIl or Engle-
wood by motor and took the train
there must pay local cash fare
to New York, as my ticket would
not be honored; II, being uptown in
the late afternoon or evening, 1t
would be more convenient to take
the Fort Lee ferry and trolley to
Englewood for Nyack my tickeS
would not be honored, but I must
pay q local cash fare. That Ia, 10
have my ticket honored must board
the train at Nyack and at no in
termediate station and commence my
return trip by Erie from New York
and nowhere else"
President Underwood'e answer TO
Mr.. Baldwfn's criticism reads, In
part. as follows:
1.-THE first knowledge the writer
had Of the things mentioned in your
letter Was from the press, and with
OAb DA yOhA tAAtCg II may HbC
taken as a fact that there Is no
change contemplated in the means
of conducting the suburban $50.
called commuter) businesB OF the
Erie railroad. Should q man holding
communication ticket board a train
at station short OF the station in
dicated on the face OF the ticket,
my prophecy is he would have no
trouble whatever"
1t was pointed out by officials Of
the company that the clause was not
intended to affect bona fide commu-
tiers, but was made to prevent the
use OF Communication tickets, for
which the rate is about one-tfl 'rd the
regular tariff, by point-to-p point
statesmen or .peddlers, who might
take advantage of the low rate com
mutation tickets in tn s way. IT was
said that the clause was inserted In
the contract merely to protect the
road from possible suit, based on
charges of discrimination.

East Newark Man Bested in
Fight Against Placing OF Pole

Employees Of the electric light de-
partment of the Public Service Cor
poration today hung cross-arns on
the pole erected at Central avenue and
Second street, East Newark, yester-
day. despite the protestations of
Christopher Dunn. It was expected
Mr. Dunn would oppose the men in
their work today and a crowd of peo-
pie were on hand. Mr.. Dunn, however,
-offered no opposition.
AS told in late edition OF yester-
days Evening Star, the pole was
erected shortly after o'clock. The
electric company men were ordered to
proceed by William Vanderpool, of the
Public Service. Mr.. Dunn flung large
stones into the newly dug hole, and
when he found he was being bested
he went into his home and procured
a cleaver with which, he said, he
would sever the guy-rope. Members
Of his family prevented him from car
rying out this threat.
When the pole was firmly planted in
the ground Mr.. Dunn declared, 1T
won't be there very long"

Repeated questioning failed to exact
definite information from the party.
"Bill" started figuring whether he
was being tricked or whether some
one in the city had become suddenly
bereft of his mind. There's another
phone in a room above the sergeants
desk, and the veteran officer, surmis-
ing someone else in the station might
have sent in the call from this con-
nection, dispatched Reserveman Gus
tave Vetter TO the room, but no one
was there.
The sergeant waited patiently for
another call, but none came in. Bill
Is now inclined to believe the caller
Is the same party who sent him a
number of pieces of coal neatly packed
in a three-pound candy box at Christ
mas. The good-natured sergeant is
"peeved" over the coal incident, as
he presented the candy" to ii friend
of his, not suspecting the nature OF
the contents, and as q consequence
he has one less admlrer in the city.

NEW LIQUOR BILL
Jersey City Pastors Prepare for
Legislative Battle on Sun
day Selling.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 10.-With the
opening OF the session of the Legis-
lature at Trenton fixed for next Tues
day noon, the Indications today were
that the Sunday saloon problem
would start a big rumpus at the very
outset, especially since Senator Wal
ter Edge, of Atlantic, one OF the Re

cipitate the battle by his plan of
amending the Walsh act so that Jer-
sey City, Atlantic City and other mu-
inequalities that have adopted the
Walsh act may settle by popular vote
shall be allowed to do business on
Sundays or any part of Sunday. d.
That the church people are ready
for the fray and that the hotelkeepers
will find themselves opposed from the
very start was made plain today
when Rev. James Parker, pastor OF
the Second United Presbyterian
Church, sounded the call for the
church people, and In statement
that he said reflected his personal
views only declared:

HIGHWAY CRAFT
WORK EXPLAINED
investigator Hears That Bidders
Changed Specification After
Getting Contract.

ALBANY, Jan. 10.-Further light
was shed on the methods employed
by contractors in bidding for State
highway work at today's hear
ing before Governor Glynn's inves-
tigating commissioner. Lester j.
Bsshford, road superintendent of CO.
lumbia county, discussed a contract
obtained by L. L. Melius, of New
York city. The specifications, 1t had
had been previously testified, were
altered after the contract was award
ed, so that Melius saved approx
mately $4,000.
AIelius had bid on the contract,
superintendent Bashford said, know
ing the terms could not be fulfilled
for the price.
Didn't it appear to you that Melius
knew he could get supplemental
agreement changing to g. cheaper Typ
OF construction before he bid on the
original contract" asked Commits
sioner Osborne.
TT did" was the reply.
IF practises such as this prevailed
generally throughout the State they
would destroy entirely anything ike
public bidding" commented Commits
sloner Osborne.
Oscar Hasbrouck, State highway
engineer, told how Roger B. Ken
nedy, contractor on Rensselaer,
county State road, got into a hole
by mistaking the cost Of some of the
road material. The specifications
were changed, permitting the use
of cheaper material, he sad, and
making q difference Of about $4,000
mile to the contractor, but there
was no reduction to the State. Paul
Schulz, second deputy highway COM
missioner, was named as one of the
men who told him that the substitu-
tion would be made. Schulz has
figured prominently IN other phases
Of the investigation.
