SEWER INSPECTION HELD
BY MATAWAN OFFICIALS

MATAWAN, Oct. 1s.-Mayor Ar
RS b. Henderson and members OF
the borough council accompanied by
George a. Johnson and Harold :.
stevens, engineers, of New York
City, went over the ground Satur-
day of the proposed system
for this borough which is to be in
stalled next spring and decided to
make several changes in the plans
as they stand now. Among the most
important of these will be changes
in the Broad street sewer. which 1t
has been decided to run around the
bank east of Broad street, rather
than to sink the pipes twenty or
thirty feet in the ground, as the first
plans showed.
The changes have been decided
upon by the borough and the en-
gineers are expected to reduce some-
what the estimated ost of the sew
err and to rush the work. Questions
as to matters pertaining to the con-
tract between Mr.. Johnson and the
borough were also discussed and
satisfactorily arranged. Since this
preliminary work has been COM
pleted it is likely that the council
will rush the other necessary detail
work, so that bids for the installa-
ton of the sewer may be advertised
for by the first of the year.

MAPLE ST. STORE ROBBED
OF $500 WORTH OF GOODS

Thieves entered the tobacco store
opearted at 331 Maple street by
Samuel Kline on Sunday night and
candy and iron toys valued at 5000.
Entrance to the store was gained
by opening the rear door of the
building with a skeleton key, it is
thought, while a door opening into
tht store proper was jimmied. The
room occupied by the tobacco
store is divided into w parts by
a partition and the light lock on the
door proved Easy TO force.
Included among the missing
goods are so cifars. four boxes of
candy 100 bars of chocolate and a
watch. Only the best grade and
highest priced cigars were taken,
the robbers being acreful to sort
out the stock and make off with
only the finer brands. In one or
two instances the cibars were new
shipments and had not been open
ed. Mr.. Cline is at a loss to ac-
count for the fact hat more of his
stock was not taken, owing to the
fact hat the choice of the robbers
showed they had been in the estab-
lishment for some time.
Detective Lieutenant John Huff
has been assigned to the case and
is investigating the robbery. The
incident was reported to the police
on Sunday. but was not announc-
ed until this morning.

COAL EXCHANGE DENIES
ATTEMPT TO FIX PRICES

As a result OF the testimony OF W.
J. Chamara, Of the firm Of Chamara
d Sons. Roosevelt coal dealers, at
the hearing held in this city last
Thursday by the Nackay investigat-
ing committee. the Central New Jer-
sey Coal Exchange. through Fred
c. Conkey. secretary. has issued a
statement denying that the exchange
has ever determined or fixed" retail
coal prices.
The statement follows:
"Chamara, nor any n else. ever
has attended a meeting of the ex-
change at which retail prices were
fixed" Mr.. Conkey declared. This
organization never has determined
or tried TO fix-the retail price Of
coal, either directly or indirectly,
outspokenly or by inference.
II was at the hearing and II was
very plain TO me that Mr.. Chamara
was greatly confused. He was badly
muddled by the questions and sug-
gestions of the probers' counsel. and
seemed TO me not TO be aware Of
what he was saying.
II was very much surprised, after
reading accounts Of the hearing in
the press, to think any one would
take Mr.. Chamara's testimony seri-
ously.
II want t repeat that the Central
New Jersey Coal Exchange eve has
ATTEMPTED to fix retail cCal prices.
Its purpose is to carry on a cam
paign of business education; espe-
cially among the smaller dealers. 1t
in no way stands against competitive
business.
Zone of the witnesses, Theodore
Leber, of Port Reading, testified as
to the social benefits he had re-
ceived from the exchange. There
are no social benefits But the as
ISOLATION does promote good fellow
ship. as do most other organizations
of its kind.
when Mr.. Leber says his coal
cost him 1924 per ton and he sold
it for s13.75, he failed TO say that
tho 1924 represented the price of
the coal to his bins, and did not in
clude several items of overhead ex-
pense, of which delivery is one. be-
fore the coal reached the consumer"
