PLAN
On ANNU|T|ES
Estimated to Total 1,200,-
100000 Marks a Year, Ac-
cording to Berlin Report

BERLIN, June (By The Associ-
ated Press)-Germany amendatory
reparations note, which was handed
to the entente and United States
governments this afternoon, propos-
es a system of annuities estimated TO
total 1.200,000,000 marks annually,
if an international loan is not avail
able for immediate capital pay
ments.
The annuities would become ef-
fective in 1927. and their number
and amount would depend wholly
on the degree of Germany's eco
nomic recovery. The memorandum
declares an inevitable requisite to
practical solution of the reparation
problem is the early convocation Of
a general conference to which Ger
man. would be admitted on an
equ'l basis.
Tho document is brief and wholly
devoted to elucidation of the mooted
points on which the creditor nations
had requested amplifying state
ments. 1t makes no mention of the
political situation. the Ruhr occI-
patton or the question of abandon
ing the passive resistance and in
dulges in no recrininations Neither
does it refer to the conditions un-
der which Germany is prepared %
carry cut the payment of the 9n-
nuities. The memorandum reaf-
firms Germany's good will and read
mess to meet her reparations obli-
gations. and assert. the conV.aation
that the entire problem should be
submitted to an impartial inquiry,
the verdict of which. it declares,
wor',. be acHeptsv by the German
government.
As guarantee for the .annuities,
the German government pledges the
federal railway system, which would
be capitalized at 10000, 900, 900
marks. yielding an annual bonded
interest of 100000 marks.
A further 000O,000,O00 marks
would be guaranteed by a gold five
per cent mortgage, secruity for
which would be furnished in physical
holdings of industry. agriculture and
shiI oing, and the gold obligations as
sumed by banking and commercial
interest and private real estate. This
levy, 1t is estimated. would also yield
500.000,000 gold marks
The additional 2O0,O00,0 900 of the
total would be raised by in
creased customs duties on articles of
luxury and the creation of a govern
ment monopoly in tobacco and
spirits.

very serious condition for the past
five days. his death having been
looked for at any time by his rela-
tives and friends.
Death followed illness of about two
weeks duration, his heart having
been weakened from former attacks
and his physical condition was not
strong enough to Withstand the
dram unon his energy. Death was
due to myo-carditis, otherwise known

Mr.. Baldwin was president of the
Board of Water Commissioners, hav-

Perth Amboy, $S,7S6.3S.
The architect was requested to
tabulate all of the bids and have
them before the school board again
tonight for the purpose of going over
them again. 1t was the opinion of
the school board members last night
that $4,000 at least will be needed
in addition to the $250.000 already
authorized by the aldermen.
President Clark pointed out that
the amount of the estimates for the
work cannot reflect upon the school
board members as they have been
endeavoring for months to secure
the necessary money from the alder
men in order that they might secure
the bids. Had the bids been receiv-
ed earlier in the year, even as late
as March, it was said, the city could
have saved 100000 at least on the
work.

CITY DETOUR
To Be FIXED
Highway Commissioner JeIin
State Superintendent and
Booz Inspect Road
WILL REPAIR DET0UR
Additional Men Will be En-
gagged to Direct Traffic
Over Detour
WILL REPAIR DETOUR

Traffic from points north to the
shore resorts this weekend will find
the detour from Amboy avenue in
good condition, according to state
ment made by State Highway Com
missioner Abraham Jelin, who with
Alexander Muir, superintendent of
maintenance, went over the detour
this morning accompanied by City
Engineer Louis p. Booz, Jr. Not
only will the detour be repaired
but work will begin at once on plac-
ing arrows pointing out the detour
and the employment of several ad-
ditional men four by the State High
way Commission and the balance by
the contractors, Graham & McKeon,
to direct traffic over the detour.
In order to place the detour in
passa BILE condition, Commissioner Je-
lin instructed James Reilly, the su-
perintendent of construction employ
ed by the contractor to have cinders
placed on the detour at once and
every possible effort made to remove
the ruts and bumps and place the
various streets to be used in an easy
riding condition. AS the contract
calle for the contractor to maintain
traffic, Mr. Jelin informed Mr.. Reilly
that the cinders must be placed OIL
the detour street at the expense of
the contractor.
The detour as arranged is not
particularly pleasing to Mr.. Jelin
as many streets must be used and
there are many corners to turn.
He declared that it would be better
to have straight road for a detour
and a trip was made over the Spa
Springs road to see If it would be
possible to use this thoroughfare.
The condition of this road. however,
made it impossible to consider as a
detour. Mr.. Booz advised Mr.. Jeln
that the reason more direct route
could not be found in the northe n
section of the city was because the
property had been developed by two
different firms and none of the
streets in either development met.
The detour finally decided upon
and which will be placed in good
condition at once follows: Amboy

Bids for the construction of the
new Hall avenue school were re-
ceived by the Board of Education
last night and proved to be at least
$35,000 higher than the estimated
cost of s250,000. Owing to the in
crease in the price of building dur
ing the last two months the school
commissioners anticipated bids be-
yond their estimate and the figures
submitted last night, according to
architect Aylin Pierson, were graft
flying to him as he had expected the
figures to be highera
Mr.. Pierson told members of the
school board that bui ding conditions
and prices were SO uncertain that
concerns in some cases have refused
to bid at all while in others the fig
ures on school wark have been $780,
900 in excess of the estimate, the
contractors not being willing to take
a chance on losing money by ac-
cepting the bid and consequently
putting in a high but safe bid when
they did make an estimate for work.
There was lively bidding entered
into for the local school job, how
ever, and the figures submitted are
not considered high by the school
board in view of the recent increases
in the price of material and labor.
The school commissioners decided
last night to ask for a meeting of
the Board of School Estimate at an
early date to decide what steps are
to be taken now that the bids show
that $4,000 more will be needed
IN erect q huiIdinQ which will ha
devoid of many finishing touches.
The architect after receiving the
bids last night cut down each bid
as far as possible, deducting all
amounts that could be deducted
from the base bid and adding only
those items which are absolutely
necessary. Even with this big cut the
dgures showed that the school would
cost S285,0O0.
Mayor Wilson was communicated
with this morning by A. E. Graham,
secretary of the school board, and
requested to arrange for a meeting
of the Board of School Estimate
next Monday afternoon at o'clock.
The mayor said this would be agree
able to him and he will proceed to
call together the other members of
the committee. This board is made
up of Mayor Wilson, School Com
missioners A. Clayton, Clark, and

Night, Board Will Confer
Again Tomorrow

After discussing the subject of in
creased salaries for about three
hours without coming to any deci-

cation last night decided to lay the
matter over until tomorrow night
when another meeting will be held.
The board had anticipated reaching

the meeting was not held, the con-
ference of members continuing until

to adjourn and again take up the

The school commissioners had be-
fore them last night for their consid-

which have been submitted to them.
At the last regular meeting of the

The decision to use soft coal in as

Bill for New Jersey Ship Canal TO be Pushed by LarsO
PRESIDENT ORDERS TROOPS FROM RHIN|
Bill for Ship Canal
Bond Issue Vote is
introduced byLarSOn
Bill Calls for 100000
Bond Issue to Pay for
Right of Way

A bill providing for the issuing of
bonds amounting to one million dol
lars and authorizing the State House
Commission to purchase right of
way for the New Jersey Ship Canal
from Morgan on the Raritan bay to
Bordentown, on the Delaware river,
was introduced in the state senate
yesterday by Senator Morgan F. Lar
son. This is practically the
same bill that Senator Larson intro
duced last year, but which failed to
get out of committee. Senator Lar
son, declared today that If the bill
failed to get through this year, he
will introduce another bill next year,
as the canal must be built.
According to Senator Larson to-
day, the bill was held in the COM
mittee last year, because it was not
thought advisable to ask the voters
to endorse two bond issues. 1t will
be remembered that the forty mil
lion dollar road bond issue was vot-
ed on in the November election. Had
it not been for this large road bond
issue, it is likely that the canal bond
bill would have been reported out of
com mittee and the voters decided
upon the matter at the last general
The new bill, which has been
referred to the committee on rail-
roads and canals, provides for a
referendum on the bond issue in
the next general election and the
issuing of the bonds in January,
1924.
Senator Larson In discussing the
canal today, declared that it is the
biggest thing that can happen TO
the county. as well as the state, as
it will develop a large section
which is now worth little money.
The canal right Of way has been
surveyed but the land has never
been purchased as this must rest
upon the passing of the bill. It IS
thought that once the bill has pass
ed the senate and the bond issue is
placed before the voters of the
state, that it will be carried by a
large majority.
It is understood that if the state
provides the right of way for the
canal, that financial aid will be
forthcoming from the federal gov
ernment when the excavation work
is ready to take place.
