TOWN MISMANAGED
TAXPAYERS CHARGE
PhiIIipsburg, N. j., Citizens Ask
Supreme Court Justice for
an investigation

Trenton, Feb. 25.-Alleging irregu-
lnrities in the management Of the affairs
of the town Of Phillipsburg. Charles d.
Brady, representing forty taxpayers
who had signed petition, yesterday mp
piled to Justice Trenchard, OF the Su.
prcme Court, for the appointment Of an
expert to investigate the affairs Of the
municipality.
The application was opposed by
Wayne Dumont, counsel for the FIVE
town commissioners, with the result
that after hearing the general grounds
Of complaint alleged by the taxpayers.
Justice Trcnchari adjourned the Cnse
until Friday OF next week. when Mr..
Dumont will have opportunity to argue
against the appointment of an expert, or
to Join in the application for an inquiry.
which he intimated might be the course
pursued by the commission.
The general ground Of complaint, as
indicated in Mr.. Brady's statement to
the court, deals with the financial af.
fairs Of the town Mr.. Brady charged
among other things that the commits
sioners had violated the law BY ex-
! ceeding the appropriations made for
various purposes. For the year 1919 he
said the excess expenditures amounted
to $33 .034, in addition to unpaid bills
Of S1S,450. He also charged that the
! commissioners had voted to increase
their own salaries without appropriat-
ing money to pay them and that the
deficit. thus created was met by trans
ferr,ng $1,000 remaining in an account
fer the construction Of sewage dis
! posal plant.
In that respect MIR. Brady also at
| tackled the salary increasing ordinance
/ ~. rNnaivnt
only three Of the FIVE votes Of the com :
mission instead Of the two thirds votes
required BY law. Answering that charge
! Mr.. Dumont said when the ordinance
was brought up two Of the five com
/ missioncrs we're on their way to Louis
lana, where they we're taking two young
Italians afflicted with. leprosy to leper
colony. "
Mr.. Brady charged that the commits
sioners habitually approved bills with e
out requiring the prescribed aMdavtt'
from the persons to be paid. He cited a
number OF examples Of that kind. He
! also charged that the accounts OF thC
treasurer are not kept in accordance
with law. and that the commissioners,
| had failed 70 conserve tho interests oi
the municipality in awarding contracts
to persons other than the lowest bidder
Admitting that Phillipsburg Is not
we'll governed town, Mr.. Dumont de-
MED any intentional wroing doing on
the part Of George w. Smith, mayor.
! and his four associates on the commits
sion. MIR. Dumont said that when the
old town council was superseded by the
present commissioners. the affairs Of the
town had been found to be in tan gled
and chaotic condition. the commission :
ers, he said. had retained a young and
! inexperienced lawyer as their legal ad-
wiser, and as consequence had not been
properly advised as to many legal mat
ters. Although disposed to admit fail.
ure to comply with certain provisions OF
the law OF technical character, Mr..
Dumont denied any intentional wrong.

CHAIRMAN LASKER
Backs Shipping Board Head
For Tying Up Vessels
Not in Service.

Criticism Of the condition of tied
up vessels in the Shipping Board
fleet drew a warm defense of Chair
man Lasker last night from Edward
N. Hurley. former chairman of the
board.
After a conference with Lasker,
at which he assured the chairman
of his support. Hurley declared that
he had every confidence in Lasker
and his efforts to upbuild an Amer
lean merchant marine"
Il think that Lasker is do
ing absolutely right in tying up the
ships" said Hurley. but we ought
to get behind the millions of tons
Of steel shipping that we have and
impress the country that they are
fine vessels"
Hurley pointed out that 90 per
cent of the 100000 tons of steel
ships are oil burners, which gives
this country a great advantage over
foreign ships, only 5 per cent of
which are oil burners. Coal burn
ers. he said. are Is per cent less
