BIDS ON
COUNTY SCHOOL
New Vocational School in Coun-
ty Seat to 144
Boys Modern Throughout

By staff Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, April Bids
were received by the building COM
mittee of the Middlesex County Board
of Education of Vocational Schools
last night for the erection of a mod
ern brick school building TO be erect
ed on Easton avenu his city.
The new building. which is to be
ready at the opening OF the fall term
of school beginning next September,
is said to be the first OF its kind IN
the United States, erected along mod
ern Inc for a comparatively small
vocational school unit.
The new building as contemplated
will provide double the amount OF
space available for the various de-
partments as is now available in tho
school known as number in this
city and which the new structure will
take the place of.
The plans as drawn provide for a
drafting DON n print shop, a wood
working department. a foundry. an
automobile repair shop and a combi-
nation auditorium and gymnasium
all on the first floor. On the second
floor will be two large classrooms. a
science laboratory and retiring rooms
for men and women teachers. The
boiler room and coal bunkers will be
located in the basement, as will be a
lunch room, a locker room and toilet
rooms.
Accommodations as planned will
be for 144 boys.
The bids received al the meeting
proved to be so much in excess OF
what the members of the board had
expected that no contracts were
awarded. The board had expected
that the appropriation of $4,000
would cover the entire work. The
lowest biz on the general construc-
ton alone. not including the price of
installing the heating, plumbing and
electrical work. was ever $4,000,
while the highest bid for this item
was more than $4,000. AS a result
of the high bids the board was unable
to award any contracts and il will
probably now take the matter up
| with the Board of Freeholders in or
der to see IL additional money may
not be secured for this work.
The bids on the general construc-
ton work were received as follows:
Eiewenhouse Brothers, $60.340;
Hughes Folkrod Company. 6 $500:
John Loury. Jr., $67,590; Utility Con-
struction Company. $69,950; Garlic
ton Construction Company, $74,695;

q Heating Company, $11,650; Jaeh-
mig &c Peoples. $11.S92; Henderson &
Company, $11.9Se; Highland Park
Building Company, $12.04S; Piper
Brothers, $12.980. The following bids
for the plumbing work were received:
Jaehnig & Peoples. $4,4S7; Highland
Park Building Company. $3.50; Nc
Fayden Plumbing & Heating COM
pany, $4.S50: Piper Brothers. $3.50.

SOME HISTORY
Of M|DDLESEX
Boundaries Defined ITO, But
County Has Existed Since
1915, State Secretary Says
Ru star corre.roAdenf.

bV SfdH Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK. April 3:-In a
letter to Thomas +. Martin, secretary
of state. the solicitor of Middlesex
county. Frederick +. Richardson. has
endeavored to obtain the date on
which this county was Incorporated.
This information is wanted for use ON
a new county seal which is to be used
In County Collector +. William HiIk-
er's Office.
The reply to Mr.. Richardson's letter
from the secretary OF state. which
contains some interesting historical
Facts, follows:
March 81, 1919.
Mr.. #. +. Richardson.
New Brunswick, N. J.
Dear Sir:
1 have yours of the 2Sth inst, rela-
tive to the Incorporation of Middle
sex county.
An examination of the early history
of the county leaves the matter of in
corporation somewhat In doubt. We
find that on November IS, 1876,
Woodbridge and Piscataqua are men-
toned as constituting a county for
court purposes.
In 1892 the province of East New
Jersey was divided into -four counties,
of which Middlesex was one.
In 1865 there Is every evidence that
a county existed. for the law provfd-
ed for setting off n portion of the
territory as Somerset county.
In 1893 the county was divided in
to the Town of Woodbridge and
of Perth Amboy AND Piss
Getaway.
On January 81. 1710. the bounda-
ries of the county were definitely de-
fined.
From the foregoing recital I think
that it may we'll be claimed that the
county existed since 1875 and was
entitled to corporate privileges, al
though some of the writers r in
clined in giving 1882 the period of
the organization Of the county. but 1
do not find In any of the recitals
mentioned. that the word ~"incorpora-
ton" is used, and l am inclined to
believe that the early powers exist
ing in the courts were gradually
transferred by usage and consent into
the corporate franchise of the county.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS f. MARTIN,
SECRETARY of State.

h matter OF hiring an assistant for
Collector Charles r. Dawson. At the
recent meeting Of the council coliec-
tor Dawson asked for a raise In sal

months instead Of every six months
and that he had to make double the

change In the Law.
The collector was told by Mayor Be-
gardus that the law would not per-
NIT a raise In salary but that an as
sistant should be secured to help Mr..

Iaborous. The mayor then suggested
that the council meet on Friday eve
