VS. OF THE NEARBY 1ACKAWANNA TOWNS
Close Commission Fight Is
Predicted for Madison Today
special to the Evenlng star.

Specihl 10 TIC Evening STAR.
MADISON, Oct. 27-When Z o'clock
this evening has been reached, the
voters of this town will have decided
whether or not they want commission
government instead of the present
borough form of government.
For the past month this has been
one of the topics that dominated con-
versation In all parts of town. The
local politicians are mostly for the
new form of rule, but those at present
employed by the borough and some Of
the present council are working hard
against the new measure.
1t is alleged by the opposition that
this movement is one to legislate the
present borough employees out of Of
flee and place others in their places,
re-incarnation of the spoils system.
1t is alleged that the radicals are
principally after the assessor and col
lector The advocates of commission
government state that the movement
is only for the establishment of a sys-
tenn and is not a personal encounter.
The closest calculations of those on
both sides of the fence fail to estah-
fish the outcome of the election. It Is
generally conceded by both sides that
the result will he close and that there
is no telling what direction the ma
jority will take as there is n large
silent vote on the issue.

Decker Makes Another Attempt
TO Have Sussex FreehOlders
Pay WOODBURY. Bridge Bill
snecIal TO the EvenIng star.

NEWTON, Oct. GA further ef-
fort to have matters adjusted be-
tween the Board of Freeholders and
Horace V. Decker, who constructed a
bri ge in WOODBURY., was made yes
terday by Theodore Dennis, a Ham
burg attorney. who appeared in be-
half of Decker.
Decker constructed the bridge for
s22t. After he received the contract
from the county he received the iron
for the structure from Owen j. Lit
tie. of Sussex. Decker then gave
Little an order directing the Board
II Freeholders to pay Little Sl5S. The
iron came and Decker refused 1t. tie
Immediately filed "a stop-notice on the
order. The Board of Freeholders asst
Monday refused to pay either Little
or Decker until they had decided be-
tween themselves who was to get the
greater part of the money.
/ on behalf of his client Mr.. Dennis
said that the board should pay Deck
er the money because the order to
Little was not legal. Dennis contend
ed that an order on the Board of
Freeho ders to be legal must be ac-
cepted through written notice. Such
procedure was not taken by the board
in the Little order
Hope of Strengthening the road on

'horizing County Engineer Harvey
Shook to make a survey looking to

stand that ii was pretty late to make
changes in the road County Engi-
neer Shook when he originally sur
veyed the road, crossed the old road
on the hill twice in order to get 5
per cent grade which was then re-
nuired by the State road department.
The survey was then accepted by the
road department and the contract
awarded to build the road.
A week ago Division Engineer u.
M Vail told the board that If Il would
atraighten the road over the hill Their
would be no trouble if the county en-
eineer could not get grade ess than
per cent. The board refused to vote
for p change Notwithstanding that 1t
would cost the county only n few
hundred dollars more to make il.
