Shall the city have band concerts

This is the most important ques-
ton confronting the citizens OF the

ago the Evening News received sew

Following the receipt of these con-
tributions the Evening News an
nounced that if the public contrib
uted enough to give one concert, the
Evening News itself would pay .or
another, thus assuring at least Two
concerts. Alderman Calvin then
said that If these two concerts were
given he thought the Board or Al
dermen would pay for another max
ing three concerts in all. A COM

INQUEST INTO PETERS, DEATH
REGARDED As UNLIKELY

WHITE PLAINS. June 2s.-Dis-
trict Attorney Weeks today filed with
Coroner Fitzgerald an affidavit
which he said would do away with
an inquest into the murder of Clar-
ence Peters.
The affidavit is the inquest
made by the grand jury on which
an indictment was returned.
Ward complained yesterday to his
lawyers that he was kept awake all
night by the rawlings of another
prisoner. Others have made the
same complaint.
Mr.. Weeks drew up an appeal
from Justice Morschauser's order
granting Wards attorneys permis-
sion to examine the grand jury min
utes. He did not file 1t yesterday.
1t appeared doubtful whether
such a stay could be asked for. but
Mr.. Weeks found precedent in one
drawn by William Travers Jerome,
in 1908, in the case of Henry r.
Montgomery. who was indicted for
having overdrawn check account.

labor board were ignored and pres

gers.
There was little indication that
the railroads would seriously con-

Maintenance Of way employe
clerks, signal men and other CLASSES

more than 100000 employees out

The bridge will, under Engineer

sufficiently wide for four lines of
traffic and two trolley tracks. A
five foot walk on either side of the
bridge will accommodate pedes-

NEWARK, June 2S.-work for
several hundred men probably will

across the Raritan river between
Perth Amboy and South Amboy.
Preliminary plans for the project
were submitted to the State High
way Commission yesterday at Lake
Hopatcong by Clarence w. Hud-
son of Montclair, employed by the
commission as special engineer on
the bridge.
Estimate of the cost of the bridge
submitted by Hudson ran to about
s4.000,000. including approaches for
reinforced concrete spans and about
100000 more for steel truss spans
The commission instructed its engi-
neer to submit detailed drawings.
specification and estimates in order
that it may be possible to request
bids on the work before the end OF
the year.
Hudson said the job would require
more than two years to complete
and the commission is eager to push
the bridge to completion to relieve
congested traffic over the antiquated
draw which now spans the Raritan
at that point.
Three different plans for the con-
struction of the bridge were submit
ted to the Highway Com mission by
Engineer Hudson. Plan A proposed
a concrete bridge with a center
bearing swing span; Plan B called
for a steel plate girder bridge and
Plan C, which was rejected at once,
advocated a long steel span bridge.
Engineer Hudson was instructed by
the board to make blue prints of
types A and B in order that the
members of the commission and the
departments engineers might ex-
anime and study these plans. A
typical cross section of the bridge
in each case was also requested.
The bridge called for in Plan A

prcval of both County Clerk Ber-

as the leaders of the two factions.
Cannon has already declared him

is believed that he will also meet
