Mayor Ferd Garretson was this
morning served with the papers in
the certiorari proceedings started
yesterday to prevent the erection of
municipal light plant here. He
was served with two rules for the
city to show cause June 5, at 10
o'clock a. m, at Elizabeth before Su-
preme Court Justice Bergen, why a
writ of certiorari should not be is
sued to have reviewed the action of
the Board of Aldermen in both the
sale of light bonds in the amount of
S150,000 and the award of the con-
tracts for the construction and equip
ment of the plant.
The mayor appeared to have ex-
pected some such action. He is to-
day comforting with City Attorney
Wight, and it is likely that additional
counsel will be employed to defend
the city. This was the opinion of the
mayor and several of the aldermen.
The mayor took occasion to say that
he had sponsored the erection of the
light plant because of the big vote
recorded for 1t at the polls, but that
he may have opposed 1t If it had only
originated in the Beard Of Aldermen,
without the referendum, considering
the heavy bonded Indebtedness of the
city.
In one of the rules the city and the
Watson-Fiagg Engineering Company
are ordered to show cause before the
justice why writ of eertiorari shall
not be issued commanding the said
city to certify and send to the su-
preme court certain proceedings pur-
porting to authorize a contract be-
tween the city and the contracting
company, together with all matters
appertaining thereto. The court In
the rule also stays all proceed
ings in pursuance of the resolutions

of the Board of Aldermen awarding
the contracts. The parties mention
ed are enjoined from further pro-
ceeding in the matter, until further
order of the court. This viii mean
writ allowed next Saturday the con-
struction of the light plant will be
held up indefinitely.
The other rule orders the city and
A. B. Leach & Company and J. d.
Everitt & Company to show cause
on the same day why a writ of certi-
orari should not issue to review the
proceedings by which the award of
the bonds were made The parties
concerned are enjoined to stay all
further proceedings pending the or
der of the court.
The rules were secured yesterday
by Joseph E. Stricken, representing
David McGregor, chief engineer of
the Buckingham avenue plant, Of the
Public Service, who is also a tax
payer.
In two long affldavits filed the COM
plafnant sets forth the aldermen acted
illegally in that their actions did not
conform to the act of the legislature
approved July S, 1906, governing the
erection of municipal light plants.
Among the reasons given are that
the advertisements for bids on the
bond issue and for bids on the con-
struction of the plant were not prop
erly advertised according to the stat
ute; that the Board of Aldermen in
authorizing Runyon & Carey to ad-
vertise for bids did not designate
what kind of light plant and did not
refer to plans and specifications; that
the Board of Aldermen did not exer-
else their Judgment or declare 1T ex-
pedient to construct the plant after
the election last fall; that the bonds
were not publicly sold, etc.

Both the German foreign office

clared positively that no inumation
OF what the statement will contain

that Berlin and Washington first

Nervousness in Washington.
Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, May 29:--Evidences
Of increasing nervousness over the
German situation were distinctly
visible in official circles. The Ger
man reply will probably reach here
Monday. In Ambassador Gerard's
opinion, as communicated to the
state department, it will fail to sat
isfy the United States although it
will be eouched in the friendliest
terms and will insist that the last
thing Germany desires is interruption
of friendly relations between herself
and America. It is understood the
Kaiser will insist that his submarine
campaign is justified on the basis of
the issues raised by the United
States
If he does so without making any
concessions to the note of objection
to the destruction of merchant yes
sells sharp rejoinder from Washing
ton is certain. On this point officials

mind is fixed. He has taken the po-'
sition that unless visitation and
search precede tile action by sub
marine commander followed by time
for passengers and crew to take to
the boats, the sinking of such craft
is fragrant breach OF the underlying
principles of International law.
Officials who know the Presidents
mind say that If an argumentive re-
ply comes from Germany, even
though it would be unusually friend
ly, it will be answered Immediately
by a demand that Germany agree to
an absolute cessation of submarine
activity SO far as merchant vessels
are concerned until the matters in
dispute can be adjusted.

FEW YORK, June 2s.-The per
M sonal expenses Of a child in

oned at about $1,000 a month.
This inference is made from a num-
Der OF recent court orders governing
the expenditure Of trust moneys in be-
half Of orphan boys and girls.
Indeed. $1,000 a month Is to be re-
garded as q very moderate allowance

rich nowadays sually start in life on
a plane OF substantial independence. oc-
cupying their own exclusive suites of
apartments. and waited upon by their
personal servants, who have nothing to
do but to look after their comfort and
obey their commands.
Such arrangements are made more
easy by the small size Of the multi

he has more than two children, be-
cause that is the number recognized as
a well bred and suitable limit. The
