HARD SURFACED
ROAD TO CLOVER
WILL Be REALITY
Ranchers With Aid OF District and
Business Houses Supplying
Long-Felt Want.

A hard-surfaced road connecting
the Glover district directly with
Filler will be a reality soon. due to
the consistent efforts OF ranehers
living along the roadway.
The Filler Highway district last
year completed a crushed rock road
10 within three miles of the Glover
tract. which is bounded on the north
by the nighttime canal. This winter
ranchers in the Poplar Hill district
have been hauling rock TO and from
portable crusher being operated
by the Filler Highway district forces.
Complete Two Miles.
W. r. sheldon was in town Mon
day and stated that by Saturday
night of this week, two miles of the
gap will be hard-surfaced with
crushed rock. taking construction up
to what is known as the Busteter
corner. a mile and a fraction north
OF the nighttime canal.
Filler business firms were being
given the opportunity Monday to aid
financially in the completion OF the
last mile OF road. Work on this
section will commence next week,
and has the active cooperation and
support OF the ranchers in that
neighborhood.
Clover Men Cooperating.
According to Mr.. Sheldon, resi-
dents OF the Glover district are going
TO aid also in the building of this
last mile and are anxious 10 have
the improvement completed. Both
Filler and Glover residents have
long wished for connecting link
between the two communities. Mon
day when Mr.. Sheldon was soliciting
funds from Filler business houses to
aid in the completion of the project,
he stated that he found local mer-
chants more than willing to do their
share.
The road will be similar in con-
struction to the other crushed rock
highways in the district. except that
IL is a few feet narrower.
Consistent Efforts.
w. T. Conant solicited funds here
short time ago TO aid in the con-
struction OF the two-mile segment.
Ranchers in the district entered
intellectually into the work OF
hauling. with the result that the
district will shortly have three more
miles OF good road.

GERMAN OFFER
NOT CHANGED
Present German Government
Stands by Settlement Action
Made by Former Premier

BERLIN. Aug. "a (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The present German
government stands by the offer
made by the recent Cuno govern
ment for the meeting of Germany's
reparation obligations, Chancellor
Stresemann told the German indus
trial commerce club in addressing it
today.
For the liberation of German soil,
for the maintenance of our sover-
eighty and for the consolidation of
our situation" the Chancellor de-
clared, "it would not be too great
a sacrifice to offer part of the Ger
man economic system as a produc-
tive pledge for carrying out Ger
many's reparation obligations"
IF the French government sincere
ly desires to receive positive pledges
for German deliveries after the ex-
piration of the moratorium, we can
find a way of reaching an under
standing. But no differentiation must
be made between the Rhineland and
Ruhr on one hand and the German
Reich on the other.
Germany cannot accept as a basis
for solution of the reparation ques-
ton even a temporary pledging of
the Ruhr or a transfer of the Rhine
land railways and collieries or other
property in the Rhineland or Ruhr,
as suggested in documents % and
25 of the French yellow book"

ACTION
TAKEN ON COAL
Will be Represented at Coal
Conference Aug. 28 Called
by President Coolidge

TRENTON, Aug. 24:-New Jersey
will be represented at the coal con-
ference on August %, Governor Sill
ger announced today. The conference
was called by President Coolidge
through Federal Fuel Distributor f.
R. Wadleigh. 1t will take place at
Washington.
The conference was called to avert
a coal famine next winter in view
of the uncompromising attitude taxi
en- at the meeting in Atlantic City
by representatives. of coal operators
and miners, in their effort to ne
gotiate a new wage scale throughout
the industry.
Governor Silzer declared that if
the federal authorities secured the
coal, New Jersey would see that it
was distributed throughout the state.
Governors of Delaware, Maryland,
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island and Vermont
were invited to take part in the fed
eraI conference as, well as the COM
missioners of the District of Column
bia.
Discussing the coal situation
Frederic M. p. Pearse, Mr.. Silzer's
secretary, said:
Governor Silzer will do all with
in his power to see that the people
of New Jersey and the eastern sea-
board are taken care of this win
ter. These states have no coal oi
their own and get it only after il
enters interstate commerce. This
makes it a national problem. II
the federal government will give
New Jersey and the eastern states
coal, they will readily see that it is
distributed. The problem is not tc
distribute, but to get it, and to pro-
vide means of using a substitute.
1.-THE difficulty with the whole
matter Is that the National govern
ment for the last three years has
temporized. neglected its duty to the
American people, and now we are
again confronted with desperate
situation. These, I believe to be
the governors views"

HOSE CONTRACT
IS RESC|NDED
Error in Advertisement Given
as Reason for Alderman
Clark in Matter
BEING FOUGHT IN COURT
Will be Advertised for Again
Court Action is Now in
Doubt
BEING FOUGHT IN COURT

Upon the introduction of a resolu-
tiontion signed by Alderman John j.
Clark, chairman of the fire COM
mittee, at the adjourned meeting Of
the Board of Aldermen last night,
the action taken by the board on
Monday, August 6, in awarding a
contract for 5000 feet of fire hose to
the United States Rubber Company
at 40 per foot was rescinded. The
resolution stated that it had been
found that the resolution authoriz-
ing the purchase of the hose was in
error.
As soon as the board has voted
favorably on the resolution Mr.. Clark
introduced another resolution au-
thorizing the clerk to advertise for
$500 feet of fire hose, for which
bids are to be received on Septem-
Der 4. The bids are to be accom-
panied by a certified check or cash
for $500.
This action on the part of Mr.
Clark and the Board of Aldermen
gives raise to several questions and
has more than the usual passing In
terest due to the fact that Robert
operative Sales Service company OF
this city, has started certiorari ac-
tion in the supreme court TO review
the action of the board in award
ing the original contract to the
United States Rubber Company.
Mr., Afflerbach. was low bidder
when the bids for the hose were
opened, but even in view of this
fact, the contract was awarded 10
the United States Rubber Company
and Mr. Afflerbach thereupon re-
tanned the services of Assistant
Prosecutor John E. Toolan to in.
vestigate the awarding Of the con-
tract to the higher bidder.
Mr.. Clark when questioned about
the resolution following the meet
ing last night, said that an error
had been made in the advertisement
under which the original bids had
been asked for and the new resolu-
ton was only to put the purchase
according to law. Mr.. Clark said
that the recinding of the resolution
awarding the contract would have
no action what ever on the certiorarl
proceedings.
City Attorney David T. Wilentz
said that as far as the supreme
court is concerned the certiorari ac-
tion already started may be carried
out and decision given, unless the
prosecutor of the certiorari proceed
ings decides to drop them. his ends
having been obtained by the recind-
ing of the award resolution.
The outstanding feature of the
whole matter however is that it is
seldom thSA the city fathers take
such action even when certiorari ac-
ton is taken in the courts.

LETTERS IN KIDNAPPING
CASE BEING INVESTIGATED

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Police to-
day were attempting to locate the
writer's of two letters received yes
terday by Peter Mckenzie, father
of three-year- Lillian, kidnapped
last Saturday. Each letter. one from
Brooklyn and one from Rutherford,
N. j., asked for $1,000 ransom.
Police do not attach much import
ance to the Rutherford letter but
Captain Funston, in charge of the
search for the child, seemed great
ly interested in the Brooklyn note.
1t was written apparently, by man
of poor education.
This letter declared Lillian had
been stolen "just because of all the
dirty tricks you did me-" The faith
er who was still carrying on helter-
skelter search of his own, today said
he knew of no one whom he had
injured.
"And il the writer knew me-" he
said, "he'd know l didn't have any
thing like a thousand dollars"
The other letter, written in purple
ink, in a flowing masculine hand
was, signed tx. X. X"
1t said that Lillian was well cared
for, and fed on the special diet which
is necessary to keep her alive.
Captain Funston said he had
every detective that could possibly
be spared hunting for the little girl
He refused to say whether he had
found any other clues of value, and
seemed displeased that Mckenzie
had given out the letters.

LAKOMSK| HAS
FILED PETITION
First to Take Official Action
--GaIvin Expected to Run
for Alderman-at- large

The first petition for place on poll
tical tickets in the coming primary
to be filed in this city, was filed yes
terday by Michael j. Lakomski as a
candidate for alderman in the sixth
ward. Mr.. LakomSkis name had
been mentioned in connection with
the Office for some days past and so
the filing of the petition was gener-
ally expected. 1t is likely that other
petitions will be filed in rapid order
as August 81 is the last day on which
they may be filed.
Mr.. Lakomski's name will appear
in the Republican column.
Friends of Alderman Thomas Pat
ten are urging him to enter the race
for Freeholder, but lMr. Patten has
not as yet decided to follow their
pleadings.
Although there has been consider
able talk of Alderman-at-Large
Richard j. Calvin being a candidate
for sheriff, his many friends in this
city expect that he will again become
a candidate for the office of alder
.man-at large.
From New Brunswick comes the
information that Thomas Byrne,
patent attorney of New Brunswick
and New York. is being mentioned
as a candidate for the general as
sembly on the Democratic ticket. II
is said, however, that Mr.. Byrne has
not consented to run because of other
activities in business that require
his entire time.
Edmund A. Kidney of New Bruins
wick, chief clerk of the motive de-
partment of the Pennsylvania rail
road is slated for candidacy as free
holder on the Democratic ticket.
Due to the death of Assistant
Prosecutor John E. Toolan's mother
and the fact that President John
Kelly and Alderman Albert G. Wat
ers have been called from the city
the meeting of the City Democratic
Club scheduled for tonight Will be
postponed until a future date. II
was said today that IN all probabil-
ity the club would not meet until
after Labor Day, as so many of the
members were out of the city. The
officials of the club have decided tC
take no part, as far as the organi-
cation is concerned, in searching fol
candidates and will not endeavor tC
influence anyone in fling a petition
The officers are busy at the pres
ent time shaping up a campaign fol
the primary and general election:
and indications are that by the time
the meeting is called the club vii
have an organization perfected.
