SEE DELAY ON
AMBOY AVENUE
PAVING WORK
Engineer of State Highway
Department Will Not Ap-
prove Present Construc-
tion
SEE INCREASED COST
Material Now Used as Fill is
Not Satisfactory, Alder
men Are Told

According to the information re-
ceived last night at the COMMITTEES
meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
the construction of Amboy avenue
over the new course may be held up
for some time. This is brought
about by the fact that District Engi-
neer Robbins, informed the board in
a communication that he would not
approve the road as it is now being
built. He declared that the entire
road bed must be covered with a
foot of cinders before the concrete
can be laid The placing of the Gin
ders will increase the cost of the
road considerably and the matter
will have to be taken up with the
highway commission.
A delegation from the Western
Improvement Association was pres
ent and requested improvement in
the operation of buses.
City Electrician Jay FRANKIE re-
ported that the police call improve
ments will cost in the neighborhood
of $1,000 and the improvements to
the fire alarm about $4,000.

Action Of Aldermen Set
Aside By Supreme Court
Ruling In Mullen Case
Court Decision Settles Dispute
After Several Weeks In
decision.

Joseph E. Hornsby will contin@&
as collector of revenue in this city
for the remainder Of his term, which
expires January of next year
This became definitely established
today when EJpreme Court Just1cs
Bergen set aside the resolution pass
ed by the Board Of Aldermen Hp~s
pointing James A. Mullen collector
to succeed Hornsby. Although Null
len was appointed by the aIdermer
he has never done the work OF cois
Iector as Hornsby refused TO turx
over his books to Mullen until q de-
cision had been rendered by SupreTs
Court Justice Bergen before wholn
the case was argued.
Former City Attorney Leo Gold
berger represented Hornsby and City
Attorney David T. Wilentz appeared
for Mullen in his fight, both attor~
news having fled briefs with Judge
Bergen during the past two weeks
A restraining order was obtained bF
Hornsby's attorney early in the yeaxs
making it impossible for the alder-
men TO oust him from Office Nntllll -jas
decision Of Judge Bergen bn tbs
legality of Mullen's appointment had
been established.
Hornsby was appointed collector
following the death OF Ellsworth 3.
walker, the original incumbent, for
the term of three years as provided
by the law the supreme court deci-
sion points out and this in the opll1-
ion of Judge Bergen was sufficient 10
dismiss the resolution which named
Mullen to that Office. The aldermen
who voted for Mullens appointment
contended that Hornsby's appoint-
ment was for the unexpired term Of
Mr.. Walker and therefore the office
was vacant the first Of this year.
As the result of today's decision
Hornsby continues in office and the
Republicans who have supported
him in his court fight look upon the
court decision as a big victory for
them. Mullen now is without any
appointiye position.

ASSEMBLY MAY
BALk At BOARD
Corio Says Governor Has Not
Fulfilled Spirit of His Prom
iSe in Case

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. lift
the senate desires the opinion of the
House in regard to the nominees,
they can have it for the asking, and
[ feel certain that it would be over
whelming against the senate con-
tirming the appointees," declared
Assemblyman Republican Majority
Leader Joseph Corio of Atlantic,
commenting on the appointments OF
Governor Silzer to the newly-created
state highway board.
1.-THE governor has not fulfilled
the spirit of his promise to the legis-
lature in the calibre of men ne
nominated as highway commission
ers," was Corios further comment
on the naming of Abraham Jelin OF
Middlesex, Percy H. Stewart OF
Plainfield, the Democratic members
of the board. and General Hugh L.
Scott of Princeton and Walter
Kidde of Montclair. as Republican
members OF that body
Leader Corio asserted that. al
though there was no talk OF re-
viving a ripper" highway bill In
the House, but that it was the oplr-
len OF the House majority that the
legislature should appoint the road
board.
Il DO not tnlnR any ripper 10"
will be taken up while the present
bills, coming from the senate deal
ing with the reorganization or the
highway, are under consideration,
said Corio.
Corio said when the compromise
was made between Silzer and the
legislature, it was taken for granted
that men of commanding prestige"
would be appointed, but in Corio's
opinion, the men named "are far
below this standard"

Damaged Last Night -
Other a False Alarm

Sparks from a nearby chimney
ignited the shingles on the roof of
the building at 2S4 Rector street and
