LIKELY TO STOP
CONDUIT WORK
Public Service Serves Notice
That Excavation Work in
High and Commerce SITS.
Will Start at Once.

Notice was served on Street Com
missioner Munoz this morning, by the
Public Service Electric Company, that
they intend to commence excavation on
Monday for the laying of conduit pipes
for carrying their electric lines, CT
High and Commerce streets, Monday
morning. The matter was referred to
City Attorney Goldberger, who imme-
diately notified the Public Service Com
pany that he would be glad to consent
to the excavation, provided the COM
pany can show that they are the prop
er lessees of the Citizens Electric
Heat, Light, and Power Company, and
under their franchise, have the right to
lay the eonduits.
The matter is continuation of the
fight by the electric company to lay
conduit pipes for their exclusive use,
in the streets of the city. the mat
ter involves the transfer of the fran
chisss 6t TIE company TO the
Perth sAmboy Conduit Company of
which there is no record on file. The
Public Service Company contend that
the latter company has since dissolved
and has been absorbed by the Citizens
franchise which Is owned by the Pub
lie Service.
The city attorney claims that the
city has the right, under the franchise
granted the Citizens company. to share
the conduits for their own use, as well
as for the use of the lessees and that
the point is the one which the Public
Service do not care to concede.
Steps will probably be taken to pre-
vent any effort on the part of Public
Service workmen to lay the conduit, or
to start the excavation on 'londay
morning, though no definite plan had
been formulated today

May Quit Belgium.

1lNy Quit DclSIuIu.
London, Mar. 30:-Military experts
here see in the latest German orders
to the Commission for the Relief in
Belgium forecast of German fear
that the Kaiser's armies will soon
have to evacuate much more terri
tory In France, or even Belgium.
The order Is a warning that the
Germans will not allow the food
barges of the Commission to go fur
ther than Journal. and that barges
for Lille go forward at their own
risk.
The refusal of the Germans, too.
to permit American relief workers
to leave Belgium for many weeks, as
a sort of news quarantine" is be-
l1eved to indicate that the Americans
naturally know much of the German
preparation to evacuate Belgium and
that the Teutons do not intend to
have their plans known until their
armies are well on the way back
toward the German frontier.
The recent German announcement
that Belgium would only be evacuat-
ed on payment OF an indemnity Of
$4,000, 100000 is believed to be an
other forecast of the coming evacua-
tion. 1t is regarded as an attempt to
have the Allies believe Germany in
tends to hold Belgium.
