PAVING WORK
TO START SOON
Contract Awarded for Resur-
facing and Repair of Ger
tain City Streets

The Standard Bituiithic Company
was awarded the contract for resur-
facing and repairing several of the
city's streets by the aldermen last
night. The East Jersey Bridge
Company was the other bidder. The
work will include resurfacing Wash
ington street, outer State street and
repairing several other worn streets.
The bid of the Standard Bituiithlc
Company was: $3.50 per cubic
yard for concrete base; $2.4S per
square yard for bituminous surface
material; $3.50 per ton for bitu-
minous patching material; $lf.5O
per ton for binder. The other bid
was low on the concrete base at $40
per cubic yard, but high on the ol-
luminous material, binding $3.50
per square yard on surfacing; $SO
per ton on patching and $40 per ton
on binder. The East Jersey Com
pany also bid $2.S5 on asphalt
block.
Bids were to have been received
for the grading and curbing of Fay
cite street from Prospect street west
and of Wayne street from the Lehlgh
Valley tracks to Catherine street.
There were no bidders, however, ana
a. decision was reached to again ad-
vertise, bids to be received at the
next meeting of the board, August 70.
The aldermen at a recent meet
ing received communication from
the freeh olders pointing out that
the new concrete road on New
Brunswick avenue from Rathburn
place to the city line We're being
Clipped off owing to the lack or
shoulders along the road. That
letter suggested that the city act 10
have shoulders laid. The city clerk
was last night authorized to send
the freeholders a copy OF a resolu-
tion adopted by the council in
1915 designating that part of New
Brunswick avenue as a county road
AS the road now belongs to the
county the freeholders must care
for it's upkeep, the aldermen said.

COURT ACTION
. ON HOSE AWARD.
That Move Likely Following
Giving Contract to United
States Rubber Co.
AFFLERBACH IN CASE
TooIan Likely to Get Court
Order to Review Proceed
ingS of the Aldermen
AFFLERBACH IN CASE

The action taken by the Board of
Aldermen in awarding contract
for 5000 feet of regulation fire hose
to the United States Rubber Com
pany is likely to result in a court
fight, according to information re-
ceived this morning.
Robert V. Afflerbach, who does
business in Perth Amboy under the
trade name of the Cooperative
Sales Service Company, had a bid
type of hose which he handles, the
figure being $1.24 per foot. The
contract was awarded to the u. S.
Rubber Company for a brand of hose
costing $1.40 per foot. Maintain
ing that the aldermen did not award
the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder, Mr.. Afflerbach consulted AS
sistant Prosecutor John e. TooIan
with view to making application
to Supreme Court Justice James ]
Bergen for writ of certiorari to sci
aside the award of the contract. II
Is understood this application will be
made to the court today.
The city advertised for bids to be
received on the fire hose at last
nights meeting. The advertisement
was signed by Alderman John ].
Clark, chairman of the fire COM
pany but said nothing about bidders
samples. There were only
two bidders, the U. S. Rubber Com
pany and the Cooperative Sales
Service Company.
Three figures were submitted by
the U. S. Rubber Company. One
was $1.40 per foot for Paragon hose,
the second $1.40 per foot for Hud-
son hose and the third, S1.20 per
foot for Trojan hose. All were guar
anteed to Withstand 400 pounds pres
sure. Afflerbach's bid on his type
of hose, Ace High, was S1.24 per
foot, also guaranteed to Withstand
a 400 pound pressure.
The aldermen took a recess to
consider the hose bids and others
and upon their return to the coun-
Gil chamber a resolution, signed by
Alderman Clark, was unanimously
adopted awarding the contract to the
U: S. Rubber Company, the Hudson
style hose being selected.
When questioned concerning the
truth of the report that he had been
instructed to start certiorari pro-
ceedings in this matter, Mr.. Toolan
said:
1.-THE resolution awarding the
contract is signed by Alderman
Clark and was, l am informed, pre-
pared by him. In fact l am inform
ed that Mr.. Clark came down,to the
council meeting last night with the
resolution in his pocket awarding
the bid to the United States Rubber
Company. 1t seems that this COM
pany was to get the bid without re-
gard to Price and in spite of the fact
that the law requires the awarding
of the contract to the lowest bidder.
"Mr. Clark continually poses as
the vigilant watch dog of the public
purse string. He is continually wall
ing about the poor taxpayer. 1t is
singular indeed that this contract
was awarded to the highest bidder
at loss to the taxpayers of $4SO."
