REJECT BIDS. BUT
HAVE NEW PLAN
Alderman at Large Wester
Has Plan to Use City Stable
Site for Comfort Station

The idea of building a comfort
station which would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 In New
i Brunswick avenue, near State and
! Smith street, was given up by the
Board of Aldermen at a special meet
ing last night, 1t being the unanimous
opinion that the work would necessi-
tate the expenditure of too much
money. All four bids for the work
were rejected by the board and City
Clerk Arthur f. Graham was in
structed to return the certified checks
For 1000, which accompanied all of
he bids. to the respective bidders.
A suggestion was made by Alder
man. at Large John N. Wester, which
met the approval of other members of
the board. 1t was to fill the need of
comfort station in the central part
of the city by erecting the same above
ground on the spot now occupied by
the city stables. The aldermen have
already decided to move the city sta
bles from their present location In
the rear of the Protection and Lin
coin firehouse In State street to the
new location on the aims house tract.
City Engineer Morgan F. Larson has
ALREADY laid out the proposed location
for the various city stables and mu-
nicipal garage on the aims house tract
and, according to Alderman-at-Large
Wester, the new stables can be built
and in addition a serviceable comfort
station for the price which 1t would
be necessary to devote in the con-
Istruction of the underground affair
lat the Five Corners" where an elab-
crate system of ventilation with elec-
trio fans would be necessary in ad-
dition to considerable excavating and
wall and roof reinforcing.
The aldermen are of the belief that
the removal of the city stables from
the rear of the Lincoln firehouse in
State street will not only add greatly
to the looks of that section but will
make 1t healthier and more pleasant
for the pupils attending the high
Gchool.
After hearing Mr.. Wester explain
his idea of the comfort station, the
city engineer was instructed to draw
up q sketch for the erection of such
"a building on the spot now occupied
by the city stables and present 1t to the
board for their consideration.

Dent. of Justice To Act

NEW YORK, April 10.-The depart
ment OF justice has sent agents to
railroad yards on the New Jersey side
of the Hudson to arrest workers, be-
lieved to be responsible for the spread
OF the strike TO this district IL was
learned today.
An embargo on express matter was
ordered, as the railroad strike gained
ground in New York further tieing
up freight and Gripping passenger
service.
Reports were current that a passen
ger embargo might be required before
the day ended.
The express embargo was made ef-
fective to all but New England and
New York state points, Syracuse and
Buffalo excepted. Thus far the strike
has not affected the parcel post.
This morning New York City found
1t was facing not only the threat OF
food and fuel famine but an actual
shortage of workers. Many thousand
men and women who daily commute
from New Jersey We're unable to run
the strike blockade. Those who were
able to reach the Jersey shore, from
the interior, found that workers on
the Hudson tube had fulfilled their
threat to strike this morning, and that
the only means of reach ng Manhat-
tan lay in ferries irregulaAy operated
because of the railroad parine work
ers called last week.
These strik redoubled their efforts
to call out more crews ard complete
isolation of Manhattan island.

6:41. A Point PIe5s4a express,
which ran on q local schedule made
all the stops and took u4 i ssengers
who regu arly use the o. er trains.
Service after that time cunti1ued on
regular schedule, all TIE u4en trains
being operated as usual
This morning up t. 70 of lork all
trains were operating on sc o. ule, but
after that time the Pc. ass l. n. rail-
road began TO show the eaeets of the
striking switchmen, and the 1901
train over the PennsyNani due at
the Central station here was more
than an hour late. The Re lsylvania
train leaving the Central station for
New York at 2:1S has been - 'contin-
ued and will not make the run today.
Although service was being MAIN
tanned over the Pennsylvania from
the State street station up to IL
O'Clock. II was impossible to tell how
long the operation of trains from
this station would continue
The Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey has been able to keep service up
today. even though the switchmen are
out. by running their trains into The
terminal at Jersey City and hooking
another engine to the train run it
right out again on another run with
out doing any switching what ever.
In case switching is necessary the
conductors and trainmen are doing
the work. 1t Is said that the Central
viii be able to maintain service as
long as the trainmen do not join with
the striking switchmen as they have
done on other lines.
Tho freights have been the most
seriously affected. No freights are
being run from New York City. and a
general embargo has been imposed.
Freight will not be received at the sta
tions here only upon condition that
it Is shipped subject to delay. Two
switch engines are at work in this
city as usual on the Central division
az the strike has not reached the
switchmen here as yet But even IN
view of this fact no freight can be
shipped, as the Elizabethport yards
are closed and no freight can be sent
past that point.
The strike has not been felt as yet
at the coal shipping docks In this
city and vicinity and the officials at
the docks stated that they did not
think the switchmen at these points
would join the strike. However IL
they do the shipping of coal from the
docks will be at a standstin. The
strike has not affected the coal coming
into the docks as yet and a steady
string of trains are arriving as usual.
Very little coal however is being ship
ped from the docks to points north due
to the tying up of the frelghts by the
strike.

A pLEpGE or EcoNoMY

In view of the radical increase in
county taxes, we the undersigned can
didates for county office have agreed
to take a radical stand on the matter
of county costs. as follows:
We absolutely agree among our
selves and with the taxpayers of Ste
vens county that If we are elected to
office we will do the following things:
Hold down every office expense
Employ the minimum of paid dep
uties.
Put in full time ourselves in handl-
ing our offices.
Require our deputies to put in full
time.
Reduce the cost of office in accord
with the downward trend of COM
modify and wage costs.
Make public any exorbitant county
costs we are unable to control, so
that taxpayers may know who is to
blame
While the above is an unusual stand
for candidates to take. we believe that
the present eXgencies demand some
such concerted action, and we offer
our united agreement to the taxpayers
of our county. 'Signed-W. H. Gra-
