After full consultation with
Frank Miles Day, Supervising
Architect, and Dean Hayward,
your committee, have reached GER
tain definite conclusona, as follows:
The immediate meals for build
ings, are:
|. A building devoted to the
needs of the Department of Agri-
culture. In this building could very
properly be housed the laboratories
for the Department Of Chemistry
until such time when its growth
would demand a separate building.
The present laboratories in the
Dormitory Building are antiquated,
entirely inadequate, and to some de
gree unsanitary, due to improper
ventilation. This agricultural build
ing should be located on Station
Road, at some point between the
Campus and the Women's College,
convenient to our present buildings
used for instruction purposes.
2. A building devoted to the So
cial activities of the undergrad
uates, to contain dining rooms,
kitchens, common rooms, study
rooms, etc, for the entire student
body. BY the removal of the lab
oratries from the Dormitory Build
ing, we would have at our disposal
building, which, on account of its
location, is particularly we'll fitted
for this purpose. A tentative sur
vey of this building proves it can
be so altered as to furnish in a high
degree all our needs in this dirpc-
ton.
3. A dormitory, or dOrmitOries,
for undergraduate students. The
size and type of accommodation for
students will necessarily be limited
by its cost; but your committee is
strongly of the opinion that housing
students on the Campus conduccs to
their best, all round development
This building should be located on
the Campus at a point north of the
library and between that point and
Frazer Field.
Of necessity, in order to carry
out such a building scheme to its
conclusion, more ground room is
needed. Accepting the conclusions
of your committee, that the residen-
tial section of the College should
center around the present DOrmi-
tory Building, and that future lee
ture and recitatiOns rooms, labora-
tories and libraries should be locat-

ter several meetings, decided by a
vote Of 2 to |, to pay the bill as
presented by Mr.. Jacobs, deducting
interest from January 1st to March
18th, and adding interest to amount
of bill from March II to October.
The account, as approved, was

Herdman refused. Mr.. Jacobs i'm
mediately employed counsel Sauls-
bury, Ponder & Morris, and man.
damus proceedings resulted asking

following from Section 5 of the
Act:
"All bills for services rendered
for labor performed and mater
ials furnished, shall be approved by
a majority Of the members of the
COmmissiOn.-All bill so approved
shall be presented to The Treasurer
who shall issue warrant in payment
therefor. "
Mr.. Hossinger, minority men,
ber of Commission, presented his re-
port to Council. He asked to be
excused from the deliberations.

ion and authorized Treasurer Herd
man to contest the case.
The Court hands down its deci-
sion on Monday ordering Mr.. Herd
man to issue warrant in payment
for bill as authorized by the Com
mission. The Post learned this

JACOBS WINS SUIT
AGAINST HERDMAN
COUNCIL TO APPEAL CASE.

after months in litigation, a de-
cision was handed down by the Su-
preme Court, Chief Justice Penne-
will, Judges Rice and Heisel sit
ting, in favor of L. B. Jacobs, order
ing S, B. Herdman, as Treasurer of
the Sewer Commission of the Town
Of Newark, to draw check to Mr..
Jacobs for $5970, payment due on
Sewer Installation.
The Post will print the decision,
as handed down by the Court, in
the next issue.
The facts Of the case are these:
The contract, as awarded, called
for completion Of the work Jan
uary 1st, 1914. The work was not
completed until about the 1st of
February, due, it is generally con-
ceeded to unavoidable circum-
stances. The work was officially ac-
cepted March 18th. Including the
monthly payment and the Is per-
cent reserved from month to month,
the Commission owed Mr.. Jacobs
%73OO.
In the Act, there appears several
conflicting statements. Among these
is the matter of penalty and dam
ages. A penalty of $25 per day for
each and every day over due-at
the discretion Of the Commission
and also the contractor to pay all
damages incurred by the delay.
Backed by various decisions of
Courts, both of these cannot be en-
forced. The contractor must pay
one of them, but not both.
The Commission gave, as we are
Informed, an extension, Mr.. Jacobs
agreeing to pay the damages, the
amount of the Engineer time and
expense, totaling $1003, leaving
| $4,000 due Mr.. Jacobs.
Nothing was done about this un.
