city reservoir, at a regular meeting
of the Water Board last night, that
the reservoir will, without doubt, be
open for use by July 4. The work

ing to the authority, were it not

ing and flushing which must take
place before the new construction is
put to Use, and that this work will
be commenced as soon as the con-
crete is set. 1t was decided by the
missioners that visit be paid

ouGh investigation of the property.
A system of lighting will have to be
temporarily installed to enable this
examination.

MAS0NS AGREE TO ARB|TRATE WAGE
QUESTION WITH MASTER BUILDERS
Hearing On State Aid
For Middlesex County
Roads To Be Held June I

The apportionment to each coun-
ty from the receipt of the Motor
Vehicle Department is spent by the
counties for reconstruction and
maintenance purposes, and the mon-
ey which goes to each county from
the so-called State Aid Fund used
for thew construction purposes. This
work is all separate and apart from
the construction of the state high
way system. The funds are distrib-
uted by the highway commission
among the different counties in ac-
cordance with their needs for the
year in which the money Is to be
spent.
State Highway Engineer Thomas
J. Wasser will compile the informa
ton asked for use in disposing of
each county's application for allot-
ment from these two funds for next
year as to the status of county road
work. The counties have been re-
quested to give a list of the roads
which they purpose constructing or
rebuilding in order of their needs
or preference.
The highway commission in order
words, wants to know the road
which each considers of first i'm
portance in it's construction program.
together with the estimated cost of
the work, SO that the commission
may quickly determine whether the
state funds to be apportioned should
be divided between two or more
roads, or confined to the improve
ment of one. Each county, in this
connection, has been asked to ac-
company its statement of informa-
ton with map indicating the roads
or sections of roads which the coun-
ty intends improving next year.
Moneys from the State Aid Fund
for new construction to be appor-
toned in June of this year will be-
come available for allotment during
the succeeding month and all of the
counties have been advised accord
ingly. The motor vehicle finances
to be apportioned next month, how
ever, will not be ready for distribu-
ton until February or March, 1929.

GERMANY GETS
READY TO PAY
DR.. Wirth, New Chancellor,
Speeds Up Chiefs of De-
partments to Their Task.

BERLIN, May 19.-To keep right
up to date with it's reparation obli-
cations or even ahead is declared in
credible quarters to be the ambition
OF Chancellor Wirth now speeding
up activities in the various minis
tries in an effort to get them famil-
iariZed with the ramifications and
technical features of the allied ulti-
matum and reparations terms which
Germany accepted.
DIR. Wirth, through the foreign
Office of which he is temporarily in
charge, has impressed on all govern
mental departments urgent need for
a co-ordinated effort, primarily for
the effort of producing an atmos-
phere of confidence in dealing with
the ententes.
The lack of this previously it is
conceded now has been the chief
cause of Germany's discredit with
the allies during the allies repara-
tions controversy.
1t is forecast that DIR. Wirth will
probably retain nominal control of
Germany foreign affairs in addition
to the chancellorship. Interest in
the fate of the Knox peace resolu-
tion is much alive in official Ger
man circles. A spokesman for the
Wirth cabinet declared today that
the new German government is
desirous of having peace with the
United States restored at the earl
lest possible date now that the
reparations issue has been dispos-
ed of and Germany is facing the
necessity of taking a national in
ventory of her productive assets.
A cabinet member expressed the
belief that separate peace would
offer more prospects for Germany
as a resurrection of the Versailles
treaty would involve protracted
debate.
With the United States represent
ed in the supreme council and the
reparations committee official quar-
ters here believe America would
have as a great moderating influ-
ence in the allied council as if the
United States ratified the Versailles
treaty and under the conditions
early peace with the United States
would promptly assert itself in an
economical stimulus in which Ger
many is in need.

MORE PUBLICITY
SAYS HOOVER
Sec'y of Commerce Suggests
This Means of StabiIizing
Coal Industry.
IBy The Associated Press.1

NEW YORK, May 19:-Stabiliza-
ton of the coal industry by publicity
rather than by extension of existing
antitrust laws was urged by Secre-
tary Hoover today in telegram
read at the annual convention of the
Coal Dealers Association.
1T is my belief that the operators
and the people will be better served
by monthly reports than by extern
sion of legal legislation" he said.
Mr.. Hoover added that publicity
would to some extent litigate extor-
tionate prices and unduly low prices
by giving realization to the great
consumers that there is no shortage
and to encourage them to take ad-
vantage in periods of depression.
81 do not imagine that publicity is
a cure-all to intermittency or any
other ILL.," continued the message,
but at least it is an assistant to a
sounder and more stable industry"

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The
choice of a successor to Edward
Douglas White. as chief justice OF
the United States was one of the
most widely discussed subjects in Of
fetal circles today. Although specu-
lation centered around the name of
former President William II. Taft
there were many indications that the
President was far from a selection.
One of the first suggestions in
private discussions among senate
members which must confirm the
nomination was that Mr.. Taft had
disqualified himself by insisting
when he was president, that any
man over sixty years of age, should
never be appointed to the position.
Mr.. Taft will be sixty-four next Sep
tember.
Another whose name has been
linked repeatedly with the highest
judicial post is Secretary Hughes of
the state department, member of
the court up to 1916.
Should promotion be made, the
vacancy created would generally be
expected to go to George Sutherland,
Utah.
Justice McKenna, as senior asso-
ciate member of the supreme court,
formally notified President Harding,
Vice President Coolidge and Speak
er Gillette, today of the death of
Chief Justice White.
II am directed by the supreme
court of the United States to notify
the senate through you that the
chief justice of the United States
died this morning at 2 A. NJ" JUS

dent Coolidge said.

TRENTON. May 19.-The State

each board of freeholders and other
county officials questionnaire ask
ing for certain information as to the
status of county highway work for
the purpose of more intelligently dis
tributing the moneys which annual
ly go to the different counties of the
state for road building uses. The
commission asked for this data in
advising each county of the coming
hearings at which it will receive re-
quests for allotments of the 1922
state aid and motor vehicle funds.
In reference to roads which. are di-
rectly under county supervision and
not a part of the state highway
system, one of the questions asks for
for the total mileage of the county
roads. A second query has to do
with the amount of money appro-
priated this year for repairs and
maintenance Of these roads. Infor-
nation is also sought as to the
amount set aside for extraordinary
repair or reconstruction of old roads
and a final question seeks light on
what the counties have provided for
the building of new roads during this
year.
The first of the three hearings that
are to take place will be next week,
Wednesday. May 25. in the Essex
County Court House. for the purpose
of learning of the financial needs of
