ing traffic from going near the ma
terial used to repair the trolley
switch at that corner.
The four men in the car were Mike
Schwartz, driver; Joe Miller, Joe
Chipik and Mike Zeadluk. Miller was
pinned under the car when ii turned

flying glass aroused q good many of
the people in the neighborhood who
aided in taking him from under the
car.

bridge hotel where DIR. Joseph Mark,
was called and attended them. Miller
received injuries to his knee. shoulder,
head and chest while the other men
were cut about the body from the fly
ing glass. After being attended at the

very short time" Mr.. Stricken said,
II will make application to Judge
DAILY for n struck jury for the pur-
pose Of finishing up the Hartmann
case His reason in doing this, the
prosecutor pointed out, was because
OF the large number Of challenges
coming both from the state and the
defense in the selection of jury for
the Brombert trial. In case the same
jurymen might be selected for the
other trials. Mr.. Stricken said. it
would not be improbable that some

the case.
IL was said this morning that
Brombert might appeal his case In
order to prove his innocence, but
nothing definite as to this contem-
plated action could be learned.

Repair Work Well Under Way

The work of repairing the Lincoln
Highway between Metuchen and
Highland Park. which suffered con-
siderably as the result of thaws and
heavy traffic early in the spring is
now well under way and efforts are
being made to rush the repairs as
much as possible.
The Standard Bithulitic Company
is putting down new surfacing wher-
ever the foundation was not damaged
while in places where the foundation
was broken up repairs are being made
by Irving Demarest. of Woodbridge,
who has the contract. Cinders and
stone are being used as a foundation
after which the surfacing material Is
rolled down. The surfacing has been
almost completed In the spots where
but little damage was done while the
foundations have been repaired from
Metuchen TO about one-quarter of
mile over the Raritan township line.
Traffic continues to move over the
road during the repairs. When the
work was first started the road was
closed and detours were made neces-
sary. The roads over which the traf-
fic was diverted. were damaged so
by the large number of cars, espec-
tally the heavy motor trucks. how
ever, that 1t was decided to again open
the Lincoln Highway while repairs
were being made.

FURTHER ACTION
ON ROADS TODAY
Program at Present is to Re-
pair Four County Highways,
Includes Building New Roads
BIZ stat Correspondent

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 27.-Fur-
ther action on the matter of road re-
pairing and improvements in Middle
sex county Is expected to be taken
by the Board of Freeholders when
they convene this afternoon.
At the last meeting of the county
board it was decided to go ahead with
the repairs on four county roads. the
county engineer being Instructed TO
prepare plans and specifications for
the carrying out of this work. These
improvements include the concrete
road from Woodbridge to Roosevelt.
which will be resurfaced; the laying
of a new concrete road from Rogans
Corner to Fords; the laying of a new
concrete road along the Lincoln
Boulevard in Middlesex borough and
a concrete and warranite road from
Helmetta to Jamesburg.
1t is expected that Freebooter
George Applegate, of South Riv-
er, will make another effort today
to secure the paving of Jackson ave-
nue. in that town. At present Main
and Ferry streets. two much used
streets, are controlled by the county
having been paved last year and with
Jackson avenue improved there would
be a triangle of good roads In that
town 1t is expected that this move
will meet some opposition owing to
the fact that 1t is the belief of some
that other sections of the county are
more in need OF improvements to
roaas than is Jackson avenue.
The paving of the other end of
Easton avenue in New Brunswick,
from the end of the city pavement
to the county line. a distance of about
one-half mile Is being strongly advo-
Gated and II is possible that this will
be favorably acted upon today.
At the last meeting of the free
holders the New Brunswick Board of
Trade had communication before
the board requesting them to prac-
tice economy IN making road repairs
and suggesting that concrete construc
ton be adopted instead of patented
surfacing. At the same meeting there
were delegations present asking for ad
ditional road improvements

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-The third
Extra session of the Arkansas Gen
eral Assembly will convene two weeks
from today, for the purpose of con-
sidering roads, drainage, and school
legislation, both old and new.
There is much speculation as to
the attitude that will be taken to-
ward special road legislation at this
session. There are rumblings over
the state of an increasing opposi-
ton in some quarters and it is safe
to predict that there will be some
rough shedding in efforts to create
new districts.
The state of Arkansas is thorough
ly committed to the good roads pro-
gram, and millions of dollars are be-
ing spent on projects that are vital
to the well being of the state. But
there is a growing sentiment that
existing projects should be complet-
ed before taking on a multiplied mile
age Of high-priced highways.
One of the effects of the Supreme
Court decision multiplying all the
acts passed by the Extra Session No,
2 has been that the lawmakers and
others interested are advertising their
proposed laws in advance, so that the
record may be kept clear.
In previous sessions there were
persistent efforts to keep the records
from showing the fact that bills fol-
special acts had not been advertis
ed according to law" In some in
stances, the opponents of an act
would have the records show thai
the bin had not been advertised, but
invariably the friends of the meas
ure would have the record expung
ed. And the courts hold that ''w,
cannot go back of the records"
At the approaching session, how
ever, it is believed that, on the othe

In this day of the exalted cost of

school teachers are the true patriots
for their wages are VIGOROUSLY small
Ter than those of almost anyother
calling.
State Superintendent j. L. Bond

the salaries paid the teachers of the
state, and the results are such that
they should shame the people who
permit such meager salaries to be
paid.
The average salary paid the city
superintendent is $1,755.45; the av-
erage paid the city principals is ST.

high school teachers is only$717.54.
