PAVING SITUATION
IS NOT SO SERIOUS
Clark Gives Figures to Show
HiIker Was Wrong in Fixing
Cost at 100000.

Indications today were that the
pavement situation in this city was
not as serious as Alderman F. Will
liam Hilker would have it appear
to be. Evidence was furnished to
show that Mr.. Hilker had grossly
overestimated the cost of six pro-
posed pavements provided for at the
meeting of the Board OF Alderm Il
Monday night. When informed that
the columns Of the NEWS were open
for the publication of facts and fig
ures regarding the alleged higher
cost Of asphalt block in this city
than in other places Mr.. Hlker said
no." as he was not ready yet" but
would probably submit his figures in
a communication to be Issued
later"
Mr.. Hilker made splurge at the
council meeting Monday night when
he fought bitterly against providing
for asphalt block pavements on Hall
avenue, Watson avenue, Commerce
street, High street, First street and
Gordon street He wanted competi-
tion and fought in vain to have bids
received on other surfaces besides
block asphalt. The Democratic al
dermen said 1t was Illegal Mr.. Hill
ker then declared it to be an outrage
that one company should have a
monopoly on the particular brand of
pavement that was favored SO much
here. Regarding the cost Of asphalt
block paYsmEHts, sfr- ffffllker then
stated that he had figures to prove
that other cities obtained asphalt
block payements at from seventy
five cents to dollar less square
yard than Perth Amboy had paid.
1t has since been stated by leading
Democratic aldermen that the third
ward representative was only
blufflng.
Asked for the figures In question
today, Mr. Hilker made several re-
plies. He at first declined outright
to give them and stated he was not
ready as yet to issue them, but would
probably give them out in a commu-
nication for publication at some
later time The third ward alder
man stated smilingly that three or
four had been up to try and see the
figures but he denied them until
the proper time comes"
VIII Cost $105,00O.
On Tuesday following the alder
manic meeting at which action was
taken to pave the six thoroughfares
mentioned, Mr. Hilker stated that
the estimated cost of the work was
about $160,000. Since that time
Alderman John J. Clark has OBJ
tanned estimates from City Engineer
Samuel J. Mason and has thus
learned that the estimated cost of
the six pavements will be $105,O0O.
AS the city can issue bonds to the
extent of $150,000 in a year, Mr..
Clark states there is ample room for
paving Brighton avenue also. rms
job, the engineer estimates, will cost
about $4,000.

In the opinion of the superintend-

BROWNING SHOT At
8 TIMES IN MEXICO
Home from Mexico, He Says
Conditions There are Much
Worse Than in U. S.

Conditions in Mexico are far worse
than the average person hereabouts
realizes and perhaps far more seri-
GUS than President Wilson believes,
according to Oren F. Browning, Jr.,
who has just returned to his home
in this city after stay OF two weeks
at Tampico, Mexico. The young
man was glad to get out OF the
blood-stained country, for he states
that an American is not safe there
unless he Is with group for protec-
tion. In the opinion of Mr.. Brown
ing. Mexico will prove a rich field
for prospectors once the fighting has
been stopped and settled conditions
have been brought about. Although
Mr.. Browning refused to discuss his
personal experiences in the fight
ridden country, it has been learned
from other sources that he had
narrow escape from probable death,
having been shot at no less than
three times.
Mr. Browning was in Mexico In
the interests of the Standard OIL
Company. He was in Tampico for
two weeks, thirteen days of which,
he says, he wanted to be out of the
country. While there he saw about
one hundred armed men, soldiers of
faction, leave the city daily for the
interior to fight. They made a pic
turesque sight as they stood armed
and and eegered with huge semhFeTes On.
the tops Of railroad cars. Locon1o-
tives there burn oil instead of coal.
It was evident that surprise had
been caused to Mr. Browning when
he noted many crates OF rifles and
ammunition unloaded at Mexico
wharf for a warning faction. While
he did not SO express himself di-
rectly. 1t was evident that in the
opinion of Mr.. Browning, outside
countries should refrain from sup
plying the fighting Mexicans with
munitions. He declared that Mexi-
cans showed great antipathy for
Americans, not to any great extent
while doing business with them, but,
once a Mexican had an Americans
money, his i'll feeling for the Ameri-
can became evident and he would
oyerstep all bounds to inconvenience
the latter.
Aside from the serious revolution
airy conditions in Mexico, the country
is not very pleasant one to live in,
largely because of its undesirable eli
mate. The humidity there becomes
intense and almost unbearable at
times, Mr.. Browning states. How
ever, If the day ever comes when the
fighting shall cease and business can
be carried on to it's fullest extent the
country will show a great richness
and value, Mr., Browning believes.
At the present time, life and prop
erty is not safe in that country. Men
of any faction seize and destroy at
will. A person is hanged for car
rying a gun, if he is not a soldier.
Cne American who was drawn into a
fight with Mexican, and who cut
the latter as a result, was confined
in a dingy jaail for twenty-one days
from which he was turned loose only
after his trousers, shirt, shoes anad
stockings had been confiscated He
suffered intensely from the great hui
midity which Prevailed. Mr.. Brown
ing said an American would hardly
dare go into the city alone it being
adjudged best to go in a group to
ward off any attack, as was often
made.

Ewing, II saw many strange men.

ing, as he has done at previous hear
ings, do SO at a time so early In the
trial that when the jury comes to vote
