sion With FreehoIderS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 15S---
Heads OF the various county depart-
ments are meeting in special session
TODAY with members OF the free
holder board for the purpose of dis
cussing the amounts necessary 10 run
the different departments during
1922. The county board is endeav-
orine 10 do away with deficits IN
the different branches.
During the latter part OF 1920
members OF the BOARD Of freeholders
were asked what would be needed
for inn trovements n their respective
sectors during 1891. and in this way
road work all over the county was
done without deficits. and the board
believes that the same method can
be worked out in all of the county
departments.
Preliminary work on the budgets
gives the freeholders the opinion
that there will be a substantial de-
crease IN the amount of the budget
for next year.

Another step in keeping with the
policy of improving Perth Amboy's
waterfront holdings was taken this
morning when members of the
Board of Aldermen and the Harbor
Commission wade an inspection trip
of the city dock and the property
adjoining which is owned by tae
city. 1t was the general opinion
of those making the inspection that
the buildings now occupying space
on the city dock property should be
repaired and replaced 50 that a
large municipal warehouse might be
established.
Those inspecting the dock also
were in favor of building the
smaller section of the city dock out
about twenty-five feet more and
height SO that it might be a con-
tinuat:on of the present large dock.
With this additional dock work done
there would be dock 200 feet long
at which boats could land, and
either load or unload.
The inspection trip this morning
came as the result of an invitation
from the harbor board to the alder
men. received at Monday nights
committee meeting, requesting the
city fathers to look over the condi-
tion of the smaller dock and the
buildings on the dock property. A
letter from j. K. Jensen. the archi-
tect. was also received in which he
suggests certain improvements and
additions to the buildings on the city.
property in order to turn them into
a source Of revenue.
The work of tearing down certain
parts of the buildings, repairing
others and doing some new building
work would cost in the neighbour
hood of $4,000, according to the
architects estimate. After this
money had been expended. the al
dermen We're told the city would
have a warehouse which would bring
$500 yearly into the treasury. In
a little over four years, it would have

3 DULIN, Dec. Is (By The Asso-
c1ated Press)-As the Dali Eireann
met today for the continuation Of
secret sessions, it was declared by
supporters of Michael Collins and
Arthur Griffith that they and the
other signers of the Irish peace
agreement now felt certain of an
ultimate majority in favor of the
treaty.
They declared no prominent per-
sons in any part of Ireland had yet
protested against their absence in
signing an agreement with the Brit
ish cabinet. President de Valera's S
objections were stated to be to GER
tain details of the treaty, which
he thinks would have been improv-
ed if they were re-submitted to him
and the Dali, before it was signed.
Today's session was held in pri-
vate, because despite the exhaustive
debate yesterday a decision had not
been reached on preliminary points
regarding authority of the Irish
plenipoten:aries who signed the
treaty and their method of exer-
cising their authority.
The Freeman's Journal. states
that at the private session yesterday
courtesy ana tiiAA
superseded the snappiness noticeable
in the morning. 1t was found nee
essary, however. to appoint COM
mittee to examine all the correspon-
dence relating to the delegates mis-
sion TO London and the report OF thls
committee will be presented at to-
days session.
The controversy over the proce-
dure of the Irish delegates is regard
ed with impatience by the press ana
the public and expression urging
decision on the real issues-accep-
tance or rejection of the agreement
are heard on every side.
Today's newspapers published a
letter purporting to have been wri'.
ten by Mary MacSwiney, sister OF
the late Lord Mayor of Cork. pro-
testing in strong terms against the
treaty. ,,
The general impression in Dublin
today was that Lord carson
speech in the House of Lords last
night had helped Collins and Grii-
fiths in Their fight in the Dali for the
treaty's ratification. 1t was polnteI
out in this connection that Lord
Carson had pictured the English ac-
ton toward Ulster in a light that
bore out predictions of Mr.. Collins
in his farewell speech at Armath
last September. when he said that

PROPOSAL
ON NAVAL RATIO
Worked Out Over Night,
Changes Are Presented to
Sec. of State Hughes

WASHINGTON Dec. Is (By The
Associated Press ss)-Alternate pro-
posals relating to the 5-5-3 ratio,
as worked out apparently over night
by naval experts were presented to-
day to Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Bal
four and Baron kato, which indi-
Gated. according to delegation
spokesmen. that no formal agree
ment had been reached by the big
three.
The proposals submitted as a
means of balancing the naval ratio
to compensate for the retention of
the Mutsu by Japan would permit
Great Britain to build two super
Hoods. scrapping four old dread
naughts and one battle cruiser of
the type of the Tiger and Repulse
or to build two battleships of the
Royal sovereign class. scrapping of
four dreadnaughts but no battle
cruisers.
1t was stated that these alterna-
tives are combined with all sorts of
questions as to the method of calcu-
lating tonnage whether by the
American or by the British or Jap
anese systems.
The increase of the American tom
mage by $4,000 would admit the sub
stitution of the per-dreadnaught
Colorado and Washington for the
older battleships Delaware and
North Dakota.
Japan in retaining the Mutsu
would scrap the Setsu. The effect
of the adoption of either of these
alternatives would be to retain the
naval ratio of 5-5-3 while admitting
a general increase of tonnage all
around.
Administration senators calling
today at the White House predict
ed that there would not be more
than two or three votes against rat
ificaticn Of the quadruple powers
treaty when it reached a final vote
in the senate. The treaty Itself was
still in the hands of state acpart-
ment officials today and was not dis
closed when they would send it TO
the White House for the President s
delivery to the senate.
