So. ORANGE AVE.
PAVEMENT PLAN
Declares Closed Specifications
Mean Forty Per Cent. Jump

Commissioner Charles p. Gillen, of
the Board OF Works. writing from
Savannah, where he is attending the
CONVENTION of the Atlantic Waterways
Association, says that the paving of
South Orange avenue with Hastings
block viii cost from forty TO fifty per
cent. more than it should. He ex-
presses the hope that the Yailsburg
Improvement Association viii fight
the proposition.
whenever closed specification
makes its appearance it should be

the uninftiated. in all public contract
proposals. His letter to the Evening
Star reads:
The VailsbuTg Improvement Asso-
citation will meet next Friday night
and the question of paving South Or
ange avenue must be settled in the
near future. Bids viii be received,
I believe, on the Goth inst. The speci-
f1cations drawn by County Engineer
Reimer are closed. Under them only
one firm. the Hastings Company, can
bid. There are several firms can fur
nish asphalt block. If the specifica-
tions are open. This would mean
closed specifications mean no compe-
tition and exorbitant price. The other
blocks are just as good as the Hast
ings' Why does Mr.. Reimer draw
closed specifications? He has done
too much of this in county work. and
ii is time to call a halt on him.
"On Central avenue in East Orange,
Mr.. Reimer and the Board OF Free
holders within a year put down btu
lithic, a patented pavement, against
the wishes OF the people of East Or
ange, who were paying a part of the
cost A superior pavement could have
been laid on Central avenue at much
lower cost, but Mr.. Reimer is so
partial TO patented materials that he
doesn't want any other kind used, it
seems. in public. contract work.
The closed specifications on the
South Orange avenue job mean that
the abutting owners on South Orange
avenue will be obliged to pay forty
or fifty per cent. more than they
should pay. The people of Newark
should protest against this. and the
vailsburg Improvement Association
should fight the matter to a finish.
They should make Mr.. Reimer and
the Board of Freeholders understand
that a closed specification is a dis
honest one and that they have no
money TO throw away in schemes OF
this kind
Mr.. Reimer may claim that the
Hastings block is superior to other
blocks, but that argument does not
hold water, and everybody knows
there is nothing in it. Whenever a
closed specification makes it's appear
ance. it should be killed"

CHIEF LONG NOT
CERTAIN ABOUT
STOPPING PLAY
Police Board Head Opposes Pro-
duction Here of Birth of
a Nation"

Police Chief Long in an interview
with an Evening Star reporter today
said he was not sure whether the
moving picture production. entitled
1.-THE Birth of a Nation" would be
permitted to be shown in this city.
The production is billed at the New
ark Theater for the two weeks begin
ming next Monday.
The Board of Police Commissioners
discussed the matter at its meeting
yesterday afternoon, but took no def
inite action in the matter. Chief
Long said he win delegate some one
to see the pictures and report to him.
He win then announce his decision.
The agitation against "The Birth of
a Nation, Is based ON racial lines. 1t
is claimed that it places the negro
in an unfavorable light and is calcu-
lated to stimulate prejudice. At the
meeting Of the police board President
Fred c. Breidenbach submitted an
adverse report on the play.
Mr.. Rreidenbach did not say at the
meeting that the picture would be
stopped, nor order that It be stopped.
He said, however, that its production
here would 'sbenefit no person, as II
has absolutely no educational or up
lift value, but on the contrary shows
much that is degrading, and that he
has come to the conclusion that the
protest of negro citizens against 1t
is ''well-founded."
An Atlantic City theater recently
secured am injunction to prevent the
nolice there from stopping the picture.
If such an injunction is secured in
this city the picture might go on as
planned. and the police board would
stiIl get some credit for an attempt
to stop it.

IL is not certain, however, that the
police here will order the theater

Chief of Police Long. who does the

that he has not received Mr. Breid-
enbach's opinion. He said he will
probably have one or two of his stan,

have been staged on a more elaborate
scale than any other moving picture
which has been produced. 1t Is found
