Republicans Say Scott and
Kidde Not Good RepubIi-
cans-Silzer Firm

TRENTON. March 1:-Charging
graft, corruption and waste" Gov
ernor Silzer before joint session of
the legislature yesterday afternoon
advocated the passage of a law at
this session of the lawmakers which
will bar patented paving materials
from the roads of New Jersey. The
message of the governor was read
directly after the senate had passed
the committee su stitute for bill
by Senator Mathis of Ocean provid-
ing for open competition between
patented and unpatented paving ma
teriaIs in bidding for New Jersey
road work, after the senate had fg-
nored the fact that the governor
wished to express his views on the
subject of open specifications legisla-
tion before any legislative action on
the question.
The governor recommended the
passage of a statute barring all own
ers of patented materials or process
es from bidding in the state unless
such owners waive all preferences
and monopoly rights which they may
claim Under their alleged patents
or copyrights"
"If they do not care 10 do business
in this way in the State of New Jer-
sey," declared the governor, they
may continue their corrupting and
extravagant methods in other states.
We will not have them longer IN New
Jersey"
1.-The State of New jersey" con-
tinued Silzer further. along, "can
build good and lasting roads without
S;p tanfed T1npfhOd mr. ma terra Z.
Personally. I strongly urge that
we do so. There is no reason why
the State of New Jersey, or any part
thereof, should continue to use pa
tent paving when we can get good
roads without it. Neither is there
any reason why we Ahould continue
patent paving when know that 1t
has been and will continue to be the
source of corruption and waste. Let
us wash our hands of the whole
thing.
II would advise that a law be en-
acted barring patent pavements from
the State of New Jersey and thus
opening the way to free competition
in the building of our roads. Thus,
at one stroke, we would wipe out all
incentive to corruption and waste in
this particular, and would get good
and lasting roads, notwithstanding.
The message was repiete with tell
ing blows at the patent paving trust,
and the corruption aad graft which
II is said to have i'll its wake. The
governor attacked the question of
open specifications without mincinS
words words and pairing anyone.
He told the legislature that the
people of the state were vitality in
tereste6 in seeing that the eighty
millions of dollars, intended to be
spent on roads in the next few years.
we're properly spenc and that full
dollars worth of road was received
for every dollar spent on the state
highways Of New Jersey.

FINAL VOTE IN
FINANCE BILL
NEXT MONDAY
Committee Substitute of As
semblyman Hanson's Bill
Will be Acted Upon
LOOK FOR PASSAGE
Exempts Two Per Cent. Ap-
preparation for Grade Cross
ing Elimination Work
Assenblyman Thomas I

Assemblyman Thomas I. Han
sons bill, which will permit the city
of Perth Amboy to issue bonds TO
sufficient amount to defray the
city, share of the grade crossing
proceedings, was report
ed out by the committee on printed
bills Tuesday and it will come Cp
for third reading and final passage
next Monday night the local assent
blyr1an said this morning. The bill
is not the original measure whicn
was submitted by Assemblymon
Hanson, but is a committee subst-
tute decided upon after it had been
before the committee on municipal
accounts for consideration. The
committee substitute was drawn Up
by Mr.. Hanson and State Commits
sioner of Municipal Accounts Darby
and instead IF increasing the city S
debt limit two per cent (Which was
the purpose of the original bid,
the bill provides that a two per cent
exemption will be allowed on the
bonds issued for the payment Of the
grade crossing elimination work.
This exemption will thus make t
possible for the city to continue un-
der the seven per cent debt limit
prescribed by law.
The new bill of Senator Pierson,
governing the issuance Of bonds, ap-
pears to be in difficulty in the senate
at the present lime and it is ques-
ton whether it will be passed. If it
is adopted and becomes a law the
committee substitute of Assembly
man Hanson will be amended in the
senate to conform with Senator Pier
sons bill, providing the city finance
bill passed the House, thus becoming
a supplement to the Piersen bill. II
the Pierson bill does not become a
law no amendment to the committee
substitute will be made necessary.

WILSON 8 NAME
WELL RECEIVED
Prominent County RepubIi-
cans Look With Favor on
His Candidacy for Sheriff

NEW BRUNSWICK, March l.
Mayor William c. Wilson, of Perth
Amboy, is looked upon with favor by
prominent Republicans as a possible
candidate for sheriff to succeed Ell
mer Wyckoff this year. Fear, how
ever, is expressed by those who
speak highly of his chances to win,
that he will not submit TO being a
candidate for the county position.
Several local Republican leaders
have made the broad statement that
they look upon Mayor Wilson as the
strongest man the Republicans can
find in the county, because Of his
popularity in Perth Amboy, his be-
ing well known in other parts of
Middlesex and his experience in
campaigning. Another point in favor
of the Perth Amboy mayors candI-
dacy is the fact that he comes from
a city which is not now represented
in any of the high county Offices,
sulh as surrogate, county clerk or
sheriff. Although County Clerk Gan
non was a Perth Amboy man when
elected, he now makes Metuchen his
home. The surrogate and present
sheriff are both New Brunswick men.
The names Of Director William S.
Dey and George S. Applegate, free
holders, have been mentioned among
those who are thought to seek the
position of sheriff. Republican
leaders, however, point out that
these two men can do more for their
party by holding their present posi-
tions. Under Sheriff Fred Gowan
and Alfred Puerschner have also
mentioned their desire TO become
sheriff but sentiment in New Bruins
wick would indicate that they will
not receive the support Of the or
ganiZation.
Former Mayor Joseph 4. Hermann
of Carteret, chairman of the County
Board of Taxation, has been men
toned as a Democratic possibility
for the office of sheriff. Mayor Ed
ward Clark, of Sayreville, is also
prominently mentioned in Demoera-
tic circles.

ROAD BID
BILL IS PASSED
Senate Passes Measure of
Mathis Before Governor
Gives Talk on Matter

TRENTON, March AFTER leg
islative day replete with dramatic
action and Kaleidoscope changes on
the state highway situation the gross
result of the days lightning-like
happenings were these:
At 1880 the governor appris-
ed the legislature that he would
like to address them personally
on the subject of open specifica-
tions.
After a Republican senate con-
4ference on the road situation last
ing from ii o'clock until 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon, the legislature,
ignoring the governors request
for a joint session, to receive hts
views on the subject, passed an
open specifications bill.
AT 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
the governor went before the joint
session and read a message king
for an open specifications act, two
hours after one had been passed.
After the reading of the COVER
nor's message, another senate Re-
publican conference was held, as a
result of which a committee of ~e-
publican senators waited upon
Governor SilZer and requested he
withdraw the names of General
Hugh L.. Scott and Walter Kidde,
as the two Republican nominees
to the new bipartisan highway
board.
The governor fatty refused to
withdraw the names of his APP
pointees.
The passing of the open specifica-
tions measure came with surprising
quickness. Upon learning that the
governor wished to address them on
the subject, the senate held lengthy
conference. After the senate re-
convened for the afternoon session
the upper body Immediately got
down to work, the open specifica-
tions bill being the second measure
UP for consideration.
1t was evident that the Repubn-
can majority intended to ride rouga
shod over any opposition to the par
ticular road bill which was moved
and which was introduced by Sena-
tor Mathis, Republican, of Ocean.

CITY TEACHERS
WILL COOPERATE
Willing to Work After School
Hours to Assist With
Thrift Plan Work

The public school teachers of this
city take exception to the attitude
sh own by members of the Board of
Education in the thrift scheme dis
cussion of the school board on Mon
day night. a report was received at
that meeting from President A.
Clayton Clark, that inasmuch as the
city teachers had voted not to CO.
operate with the school board in
putting into effect the thrift system
of saving among school children, the
board would drop tho matter. The
impression was given during the dis
Cussion on the matter by school
board members thac the teachers,
who would have TO devote about fif-
teen minutes of their time after
school hours once a week to the
work, had decided against the prop
osition because uf the additional
work it would put them to.
The teachers, through their
spokesman, wish !t understood that
they are not opposed to working
overtime in orde" 10 assist with the
thrift plan, if the school board
favors it's inception into the city
schools. The city teachers were
of Education did net look favorably
up on the thrift system, the teach
ers' spokesmen pointed out, and
therefore voted against the plan, be-
lieving their action would be fav-
able to the school board.
The teachers maintain that they
are the ones who originally brought
up the suggestion of conducting a
thrift system in the schools offer
ing their services at the time. The
school board at that time would not
approve of it, the teachers say, and
discouraged it. The Woman's Club
started the recent agitation for a
school savings plan, the teachers
committee points out. and the teach
ers had been led to believe that the
Board Of Education still opposed the
plan.
The city teachers have not re-
fused to cooperate with the Board
of Education in putting the thrift
plan into action, the teachers
spokesmen say. and will be willing
to assist in this work II the plan
is favorable to the Board OF EdI-
cation.
