STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. 1890 a. m.
Active trading in war and motor
shares was resumed at the opening
of today's market, with a new high
record for Studebaker, which sold at
an advance of almost ten points in
the first fifteen minutes. American
Can, with an initial sale of 5000
shares up to 6115, came within small
fraction of its best, while Crucible
Steel Westinghouse, Willys-Over-
land, Maxwell Motors and some less
prominent stocks rose one to six
points. Later the more seasoned is
sues began to move forward, u. s.
Steel rising over point. Railways
were mainly heavy, as a result of
their weakness in London.
Noon-The speculative character of
the market was indicated from the
fact that American Can, which adj
vanced almost 5 points to new high
record, together with Studebaker,
Goodrich and Tennessee Copper.
made up a very large part of the
early trading. u. S. Steel was the
actual leader however large blocks
being exchanged at as high as 76h
gain of PA from Saturdays close.
Other strong specialties included
Bethlehem Steel Virginia Coal
Sears -Roebuck and a score of miscel-
laneous issues. Railroad shares con-
tinued their irregular course, the
further weakness of foreign exchange
being a restraining influence. Bonds
We're irregular.
1:3O p. m.-Equipment shares and
the minor steel stocks were the lead
ers of the early afternoon advance.
Steel was u below best and the in
quiry for railroad shares slackened.
Union Pacific reacted a point to 1919.

Cotton Market

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-The cotton
market opened unchanged to three
points higher today, but local traders
appeared to be very little impressed
by the relatively firm cables and
prices soon turned easier under pros
poets for more rain in the South, re-
ports of increased offerings of new
crop cotton from Texas and uneasi-
ness over the export situation. Some
that the gulf storm
might cause damage to open cotton
in the Southwest should it work into
the interior, but it seemed a more
general impression that the addi-
tional moisture would more than Off
set any harm to open cotton at this
season of the year.
The early selling movement was
checked at net decline of about to
points by the continued steadiness
of Liverpool and increasing uneasi-
ness over the prospects for high winds
in the Southwest, with trading later
quiet and fluctuations narrow. Prices
shortly after midday were about 2
to 3 points net lower.

SUSTA|NS BOARD IN
ARCHITECT TANGLE
Former County Counsel Harri-
son Gives Decision in Cald-
we'll School Case.

The question as to whether the
Caldwell Board of Education had any
legal right to sever their connections
with the firm of Holmes & Winslow,
architects, of New York city, was
settled in favor of the board at
meeting of the board, which was held
Saturday night.
Former County Counsel j. Henry
Harrison, who was asked to give an
opinion on the matter, stated that,
according to the terms of the con-
tract with this firm, the board had
a right to dismiss them if their plans
and specifications did not come with
in the appropriation of $4,000. In the
question of changing the specifica-
tions without the knowledge of the
board, he stated that the architects
were in the wrong, and that the
board had a legal right to dismiss
them without compensation.
The firm of Holmes & Winslow were
appointed architects for the proposed
new four-room primary school that
is to be located in the eastern sec
ton of the town, and after bids had
been called for and opened it was
found that the bids were above the
appropriation. Charles A. Holmes, a
member of the firm, stated that he
knew that the bids received were ex-
eessive. and that if the board read
vertised he was certain that the bids
would come within the appropriation.
At this meeting Commissioner Will
lam H. Tobin asked the architects if
any changes would be made in the
plans and specifications, and was an
swered that there would be no
changes made.
Bids were then called for the sec
ond time, and at a meeting at which
these bids were to be opened Com
missioner Tobin asked the architects
if there had been any changes in the
plans or specifications, and was an
swered that the plans were the same,
but that several slight changes had
been made in the specifications. The
board then decided to again reject
the bids.
Tive building and grounds commit.
tee was then ordered to investigate
the changes that had been made.
Following the investigation it was
found that the changes were greater
than the architects had stated, and
1t was then decided to dismiss them.
A special meeting of the board was
held last week for the purpose of Sc
lecting a new architect, and a com
munication was received from Holmes
& Winslow, stating that the board
had no right to dismiss them. 1t was
then decided to ask the opinion OF
counsel.
Following the opinion of the coun-
sci, the board decided to hold spe-
cial meeting on Thursday evening, at
which time another architect would
be appointed.

Bond Issue to Make Los An
geles a New SWitzer-
land.

Los ANGELES. Aug. 16.-A bond
issue designed to make Los Angeles
county The Switzerland of Amer
lea" will be submitted to the voters
here. If carried 81, $50, 600 will be spent
constructing paved highways that
will open UP new beauty spots in
the mountains contiguous to this
city.
Seven units of roads, totaling i64
miles in length and estimated to cost

provements. The last county bond

system of 400 miles of paved roads.
In addition the county has spent ST.
100000 in road work from the general
tax levy.
An additional 100 miles of construc-
tion resulted from the county pro-
viding crushed rock and oil, where
abutting property owners agreed to
furnish the necessary work. There is
now 125 miles of these roads under
way.
A State highway bond issue for
5000 900 will be voted on in October.

approximately 1,200 miles of trunk
highways north to south. OF this is
sue Los Angeles county's share was
about 40 per cent, and 1t will be
called upon to pay approximately a
similar percentage on any future is
sues. If the forthcoming county and
State issues carry the total amount
of Los Angeles county expenditures
authorized for improved highways
will have reached 500, 100000 in the
past seven years.
