SPAN DELAYED
BY WAR DEPT.
Construction Work Will Not
be Started Until April
2 of Next Year
COMPLETION IN 2 YEARS
Federal Government is Giving
Over Million Dollars for
Cost of Project
COMPLETION IN 2 YEARS

TRENTON, March 15.-The war
Department has set back the date
for the start of the construction OF
the new Amboy bridge over the Rar-
itan River between Perth and South
Amboy to April 2, 1923. The federal
authorities have fixed three years as
the time within which the bridge
must be completed and by extending
the start one year the time limit Tor
completion is thus automatically set
hack one year also. The federal gov
Dernment is contributing over MIL
lion dollars for the cost of the proJ-
ect and hence it's right to fiX the
dates of construction.
At it's meeting here yesterday the
highway commission referred to the
Attorney General Assembly Bill No.
33S. which the governor has just
made a law by his signature. This
measure relates to the reimburse
ment program which is now under
way, the counties having agreed to
build sections of the state highway
system to be paid back by the state
in future years.
This bill, which was introduced by
Assemblyman Barkman, of Morris
County, provides that whenever the
State Highway Commission has con-
sented to reimburse a county under
this plan of finance the commission
s.shall reimburse said county for all
interest on money borrowed by the
said board of chosen freeholders to
finance such work and for all engine-
ering charges of the county in con-
nection with said work." The only
proviso connected with this is that
he commission shall have approved
ii the engineering charges to be
made.
How Law Applies.
The question before the highway
board now is whether this law ap-
lies to all the reimbursement con-
tracts which the commission has al
ready made upon behalf of the
state. under which it was understood
the counties were to pay the engine
ering and interest charges. Taken
for the counties in the aggregate
this would total approximately about
100000 which the state will be
kbiiged to turn over to the counties
In the reimbursement program of
construction, if it is decided by the
attorney general that the act applies
to the negotiations already entered
into.
There is a bill now in the hands
of the governor to halt the reim-
bursement program for year. 1t
is expected to be acted upon today.
In the meantime the commission yes
terday decided to contract with sew
eral counties for additional short
pieces of road construction under
this plan of payment. One includes
5000 feet at Mays Landing. Atlantic
county, on Route IA of the state
system of roads.

| found when the government forces
| entered, sniping at government
troops continued. One sniper ap-
parently woman, was shot, but
! when the body was recovered it
was found to be that of a man in
woman's clothing Women carry
ing white flags sheltered some of
the rebels, while groups of children
surrounded rebels to facilitate their
escape.
Transvall Scottish forces took
Dunswart on Sunday by frontal at
tack with the bayonets, but the
stretcher bearers were unable to re-
move the wounded. owing to con-
tinued firing from houses until REIN
