ALDERMEN MAY ACT
ON LIGHTING BONDS
Will Consider Action on Grade
Crossing Removal at Hear
ing in Newark Friday.
OTHER IMPORTANT WORK
Not Known Whether or Not
Bonds viii be Sold at the
Meeting.

At late hour today it could not
be learned whether the city would
sell bonds for the securing of money
for a municipal electric light, heat
and power plant at the adjourned
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
tonight, or action would be deferred.
Aldermen intend to make arrange
ments for going to Newark Friday
morning to attend the final hearing
for the elimination of grade cross
ings in this city when they assemble
tonight. Several other subjects may
be taken up, despite the fact that the
meeting OF last week was adjourned
purposely TO act upon the proposed
sale Of municipal light plant bonds.
According to expressions made, 1t
is the desire OF majority of the city
fathers to avoid sale Of the bonds
in question until 1t has been def
nitely determined as to whether the
city shall procure light plant at
this time. The award of bonds to
two concerns as Joint bidders was de-
ferred last week to give the alder
men an opportunity of negotiating
with the prospective bond purchas-
ers for an extension of time until
May 19, at which time bids for the
proposed plant will be received here.
1T is the desire of majority of the
aldermen not to sell the bonds to-
night or any other time previous
to the receipt of bids, unless proyi-
sion is made for the city to buy the
bonds back to protect the city in
event should the project fall through.
Despite the fact that more than
2,500 people here have voted for the
municipal light plant project, it has
appeared to several of the aldermen
that sentiment has grown against 1t.
In contrast, however, one alderman
took a hurried census in his ward
this week and found that all but one
of the taxpayers seen favored the
proposition. The one Was indifferent
It is the intention OF all members
Of the Board of Aldermen, Mayor
Ferd Garretson, City Surveyor Sam
uel r. Mason and associate engineers,
City Attorney Andrew J.. Wight and
former City Attorney c. c. HON.
mann to attend the hearing for elm
ination of grade crossings, to be held
at Newark at 1890 O'Clock Friday
morning. Efforts will be made by
the city officials to give the strong
est argument possible to show why
grade crossings at Washington
street.. New Brunswick avenue, Smith
street and Market street in this city
should be eliminated to end danger
and inconvenience. The city Will pre-
sent two plans for elimination, one
of depression and the other of semi
elevation, but it will endeavor to
have the former carried through in
asmuch as railroad companies must
pay the entire cost of the. proposed
work, they must be considered in the
decision on plans and cost, city Off
cials state. 1t was for this reason
that plan for semi-elevation as well
as depression of tracks was made.
The Board of Public Utility Com
missioners before whom the hearing
will be held, have decreed that the
crossings in question are dangerous.
1t is now up to the city to show the
best and most desirable proposition
for changing the grades.

Queenstown, May 11:-Although
the Cunard officials suggest there
may be a few survivors not reported
suffering from injuries at some lonely
fishing hut or farmers cottage, this
hope finds no reflection in diplomatic
circles. There, 1t is declared, the iy-
ing are all accounted for. The figures
are little changed over those of
twenty-four hours ago. The latest
show dead passengers and crew,
1,150; saved passengers and crew,
767; OF the latter 465 were passen-
gers and 302 were members OF the
crew.
Eight bodies were brought here
yesterday. Seven others are coming
on Cunard line tug from Baltimore,
County Cork. This makes a total of
159 that have been taken from the
scene and tugs are searching for
others. There is much complaint
that Cunard officials have made no
systematic effort to recover bodies.
The tugs have been at the scene of
the wreck twice. 1t is stated here
that many of the bodies found, espec-
tally those of women. have their life
helts Improperly adJu1ted. Some had
the straps so far down that the heads
were drawn forward and the wearers
drowned without a chance.

son gave the people of the country the
first indication of the trend Of his
thoughts since the sinking of the Lust
tania, when, in talking to more than
15,000 persons In Convention hail, he
declared ''the example of this country
must be one of peace" He said:
There is such a thing as man be-
ing too proud to fight. There is such
a thing as nation being SO right that
1t does not need to convince others by
force that it is right"
This utterance was cheered loudly
a1d long. The presidents speech WAS
delivered In Convention hall for the
special bei' eft OF 1000 newly natural
Ized citizens who have taken the oath
Of allegiance to the United States in
the federal district court here In the
past few months.
To those who had expected some
strong statement of determination to
adopt aggressive measures for the
maintenance OF the rights of the Unit
ed States In the face of Germany's
submarine policy, as 1t has been ex-
empliied in the sinking of the Gulf

definite Indication OF the policy we are
to follow, the speech was a distinct dis
appointment.

MIR Wilson spoke calmly and as II
his thoughts regarding the Lusitania
Incident had been clarified in the $50
iation at Washington IN which he has
pondered over the crisis facing the
government. There was no suggestion
of heat or an inclination toward 8g
gressiye measures, and at the end
when his remarks regarding peace
had been approved so distinctly by his
audience. he declared that his spirit as
an American had been renewed by the
opportunity which had been furnished
him to sense the thoughts that are
moving In the public mind, thing
which he said it was exceedingly ditti-
cult to do at Washington because OF
the propensity of many people to send
him reports which are inaccurate.
The high note of the PRESIDENT :
speech did not relate directly TO the
Lusitania crisis, but to the thinly veil
ed warning he gave pro-German agita-
tors who have sought TO stir up the
oyalty of Communications to pitch
where their patriotism as Americans is
endangered. To the newly naturalizel
citizens sitting in front of him, he said:
