STATE ROAD BID. FAVORS
USE OF SHEET ASPHALT

TRENTON, June 10. - That the
State Highway Commission favors
the use of sheet asphalt, rather than
surface material, is indicated by the
reply which it has just dictated here
to a letter written by Samuel p.
Leeds, president of the Atlantic City
Chamber of Commerce, Directing to
the use of the blocks on the pro-
posed Atlantic City-Absecon Boule-
ward. The commission took the view
hat there is no justification in pay
ing from 81 to $3.50 more per square
yard for an asphalt block pavement
when sheet asphalt on a concrete
foundation has been a standard sur
facing on streets for the last twenty
five years. The commission also in
dicated it's preference for the sheet
rather than the block type of asphalt
because it promotes competition in
bidding, when it is specified, and it
renders good service.
The letter was prompted by the
communication of MT. Leeds, who
has been fighting patented and I'M
desirable pavement surfaces for some
years, particularly Warranite. In
this the head of the Atlantic City
Chamber of Commerce declared that
the Atlantic County Freeholders plan
to pave the new boulevard with two
inch asphalt blocks and that he had
found no particular wearing quail
ties to substantiate the extra out
lay of the taxpayers money"

SEE SOLUTION
ON SHIP RUM
State Dept. Negotiations
Contemplate Settling
Problems

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Infor-
NAL negotiations initiated by the
State Department with various
maritime powers contemplate a solu-
ton on a reciprocal basis of the ship
liquor controversy and of he rum
smuggling fleet problem through ex-
ercise of the treaty making power of
the government.
American officials, it was revealed
today, see in this method an oppor-
tunity to eliminate inconvenience TO
foreign ships within the three mile
limit, due to prohibition enforce
ment regulations, while at the same
time the lowering fleet Of rum
smugglers off the American coast
may be broken UP through extern
sion by treaty agreement of the
right of search for this specific pur-
pose up to the twelve mile limit.
In conversations with diplomatic
representatives of the maritime ma
tons it has been suggested that fav-
orable action by the senate on a
treaty designed to alleviate the stu
alton of which these powers have
complained, would be probable only
in the event of a reciprocal agree
ment that would aid the United
States in its fight against liquor
smuggling.
The view taken by administration
authorities is that through the treaty
making power, the executive branch
Of the government with the assent
of the senate couh sufficiently modi-
fly the rigid provisions Of the prohi-
bition law to permit ships liquor to
be brought within the three mile
limit as sealed stores. 1t is also re-
garded as practicable to provide by
treaty for the movement of liquor in
transit through American territory.
Emphasis has been laid in the in
formal discussions upon the fact
that the suggested treaties must pro-
| vide as a reciprocal matter for ex-
tension to twelve miles from shore
of the right of search for commodi-
ties that are c~ontraband under the
laws of either of the signatory pow
ers.

BAIL COLLECTED MAY
HAVE TO Be RETURNED

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 49,
The $1,000 bail collected by the
county following the failure of James
Lundy, alias Jimmy Boston, mater
ial witness in the big Metuchen silk
robbery to put in an appearance may
have to be returned to the surety
company. Under the laws of 1923
the surety company is given permis-
sion to make application for return
of bail within four years after its
collection, if the defendant is again
arrested.
The surety company yesterday
made application for the return of
the money and it appears that the
matter rests entirely with the pros
ecutor and judge. This law surely
is of real benefit to the bonding
companies.
1t has been learned that Lundy
was arrested on two occasions in
New York City following his failure
to appear at the trial in this coun-
ty and the bonding company made
no effort to have him returned to this
county. This action may result in
the county authorities refusing the
request of the company.
Lundy's failure to appear at the
trial resulted in all of the defend
ants being acquitted of highway
robbery charges.
