IS
DRY DIRECTOR
General Shake-up Expected
to Follow Naming of For
mer MiddIeSex Man

WASHINGTON, April ia gem
eral shake up in the prohibition Of
fees of state is anticipated with the
appointment of Assemblyman
Adrian G.. Chamberlin of East Or
ange, formerly of Middlesex coIn-
ty. leader of the Essex County Re-
publican delegation in the house t1i
year, as state prohibition director.
which was made public here yes
terday.
Observers in dry circles believe
that Chief reinforcement Agen Da-
via w. Rudsell will go with Direc-
tor Moss and Republican man IS
to get his place. Robert Surtees,
who has charge of the permits IN
Newark and who was an assistant
to Director Brown. will evidently
leave the service shortly.
The appointment of Chamberl!n
ends a lengthy political feud which
resulted in the victory for United
State Senator Walter e. Edge. who
has championed ,Chamberlin to Tie
present post for sometime. Iris
appointment, it is understood, was
effected only after the prohibition
question was brought directly to tie
attention of President Harding and
which led to a personal interview
between the President and Mr..
Chamberlin, followed by a confer
ence between President Harding
and Senator Edge.
Roy v. Haynes. national prohib1-
tion director and an adherent OF
Senator Frelinghuysen held out
against list of prospective directors
submitted to him and included the
name of Chamberlin. Haynes prac-
tically decided on the choice of
George T. Vickers, assistant prosecu-
tor of Hudson county. In the con-
hict Senator Edge is said to have
gone over Haynes head to Internal
Revenue Collector Blair who took
part with Senator Edge and the mat
ter became a subject for cabinet dis
cussion and finally resulted into the
personal consideration of President
Harding.
Assemblyman Chamberlin is the
second of the Essex delegation to get
high political post. He was born
December z, 1877, in New Bruns-
wick, where he spent his boyhood
days. When elected assemblyman
last year he was employed as sales
manager for a pipe concern but gave
up his business for political career.
He is married and lives with his
family at South Arlington avenue,
East Orange. The position of en-
forcement director carries salary
of $4,000.
With the Chamberlin appointment
came also the reported resignation
of Internal Revenue Commissioner
David H. Blair who carried on a
political battle against Haynes.

HIGHWAY BONDS
INTEREST SAVED
Plan for Issuance of 40 Mil
lion Road Bonds Means
Saving of 13 Million
BONDS MATURE SOON
Road Bonds for 10 Years,
Bridge Bonds for 10 Years
Under Plan

TRENTON, April ia decision
upon the part of beth the State
Highway Commission and the State
House Commission to SO plan the
Issuance of the 540,000,000 road
bond issue so that the limit of years
fer the road certificates will be ten
and for bridges fifteen. with re-
spective interest rates of Az per
cent and 4A per cent, will mean a
saving of $13,000,000 IN the way of
interest and charges of liquidation.
according to an announcement just
made here by Central Hugh L. Scott.
chairman of tho State Highway
Commission.
This is supported by the State
House Commission in statement
from Chief Auditor Harry B. Salter
Of the comptrollers department, who
was in charge OF the working out
of this plan. The State House Com
mission is made up of Governor Sill
ger, Democrat; State Comptroller
Republicans.
According to the explanation of
Mr.. Salter to the press representa-
tives, had the states financial Off
GERS decided to follow the original
plan of the bond act, which would
have permitted fifteen-year maturity
for the road bonds and thrifty years
for the bridge bonds. the final cost
of the improvement would have been
S66, ,691, made up OF the S40,-
100000 for the building of the roads
and interest charges of $26,632, ,691.
BY cutting the road bond matur-
ity period from fifteen to ten years
and the bridge bonds from thirty to
fifteen years, and reducing the re-
spective interest rates to Az and 4A
per cent from per cent, as provided
in the bond act, the State Highway
and State House commissions state
that the total cost of the bond issue
now will be but $53,221, ,1S5, made
up of $40,000,00 in bonds and S13,-
221,185 in interest charges. Thus
the saving of $13,411 SOC claimed TO
have been accomplished by the plan
Is reached through the difference in
the amount of interest as originally
contemplated under the bond-S26,-
632,691 and the amount actually an
ticipated now, or $13.221,1S5.
In other words, 1t is declared that
the taxpayers of the state will pay
out the sum of $13.221,1S5 in inter-
est charges to get s4G,000,000 worth
of permanent highways.

boy, filed answers today in the suitE
brought by the state to recover the
alleged excess amount paid by the
state for this Donnell property.
The lumber company. represented
by McCarter & English of Newark.
admit that their lands were ap-
praised at 10000 by Charles Z.
Steuerwald and Clancy D. Boynson
and that the Donnell company pIac.
ed the value of their land at $2z5:-
600, although 1t sold for $3.50, ,o0e.
The answer states that the lumber
company had no knowledge that the
highway board would not take pri-
vate property for public use except
for strictly highway purposes. A
denial is made OF the charge Of
fraud.
Duffy. in his reply. declares hss
intention to ask for a dismissal Oh
the suit on the ground that there
was no liability on his part. person
ally, as a public officer for acts al.
leges. in the complaint to have b.,
perpetrated. He claims that he IA
not legally liable. Weinberger 4,
Weinberger. Of passaics, represent
Duffy.
1t is the contention OF Duffy that
the lands of the Donnell conpa1y
are Of a better quality than those

the state was reasonable in ire
opinion of Duffy, who also def.Ies
the charge of false statements made
against former Chairman George
Burton of the ousted highway co11-
mission.
Duffy declares he did not abuse
the public trust and acted with war
rant and authority, as all the land
was needed for public uses. He said
the National Fireproofing Com

lower prices, becaa use that property
was not as valuable as that Of the
Donnell company. Duffy denied
