JELIN WANTS PAVING BIDS
ADVERTISED FOR AGAIN

TRENTON, July 31:-In the hone
of getting competing contractors to
submit still lower bids, State High
way Commissioner Abraham Jelin to-
day recommended to'the commission
at it's meeting here, the readvertising
for a third time of bids for the con-
struction of East Main street, Boon
ton. This action was advised by
Commissioners Jelin because the low
est bidder. on the second advertise
ment of the job, was considered too
high.
The first time the job was advertis-
ed, the lowest bidder was the Stan
dard Bitulithic Company, accord
ing to Mr.. Jelin, which concern bid
$59,720. The work was r~e-advertis-
ed as this figure was considered too
much.
Last Wednesday at the Morris
town Court House Commissioner Jel-
in opened the bids received as a re-
suit of the Reimbursement. This
time the lowest bidder out of five
submitting prices was the Utility
Construction Company, of New
Brunswick, with a price of $513O2.-
rs. Although the resultant saving
from the Reimbursement was ST.
417.75, Mr.. Jelin declared that the
price is still too high. and in conse-
quence he advised the State High
way Commission to order a read
vertisement for the third time.

LARGE BUSES
ARE WANTED
So. Amboy People Who Use
JitneyS Demand Roomy
Comfortable Buses.

SOUTH AMBOY, July STA
great improvement in the bus SER
vice between Perth Amboy and Key
port is noticeable today. James
sDouckas has been granted permission
by the Perth Amboy authorities to
operate four buses, running on reg
ular half hour schedules from Perth
Ambov and through to Kevnort. This
remedies the condition hat prevail
ed since the abandonment of the
Jersey Central Traction Company.
1t was necessary to transfer Perth
Amboy passengers in this city until
through service was installed.
A general protest went up through
out the city yesterday, as the Sea
shore Bus Line began taking on and
discharging passengers within the
city limits. Mr.. Douckas, a local
bus operator was trying single hand
ed to take care of the service aban-
doned by the trolley company. Nh
Douckas notified Mayor Chase last
night. and the mayor in turn issued
orders that unless the Seashore
Company adhered to the city or
dinance to the letter, a fine would
be imposed on all drivers taking ON
or ~discharging passengers within the
city limits.
With the abandonment of the
trolley system comes an almost u
namious demand on the part of the
public for bigger and better buses.
The travellers in almost every in
stance are strong in denouncing the
small and inadequate buses. 1t is
expected that the council will be
asked to deny any franchise unless
comfortable and roomy buses are
placed on the various lines of travel.
1t is pointed out by those who have
studied the situation that small buses
are a detriment to the communities
and should be junked.
The bus owners operating within
the city limits have in almost every
instance promised to replace their
old buses with more up to date ones.
William Rosenvinge, owner of what
is known as bills Bus Line" has
started the ball rolling in the right
direction ty placing on a new and
larger bus. Douckas. stated hat he
has placed an order for three es-
pecially large buses of the very la
test type. which are to be delivered
within the next fifteen days.

PAVING
CHARGE MADE
~ Governor SiIzer Against
Atlantic County Board of
!. FreehoIderS.

TRENTON, July Ex-Governor Sill
yer today insinuated that the Allan
tic County Board of FreeholdeTs was
In cahoots with the patented paving
ling when he declared that the al
zTeged recent action of the board in
aWarding a contract for the paving
Absecon boulevard with asphalt
was a means of evading the
open specifications" law passed by
The recent Republican legislature.
The governor stated, however, that
Ii was none of his business and that
az the people of Atlantic county
wanted to waste their money in this
way, that was their affair.
Is In connection with the award of
The Atlantic freeholders, the execu-
tive declared that it demonstrated
the flaws in the open specifications
by Senator Mathis, which was
d by the last legislature. The
Rovernor asserted that in his mes
cage of March %, last, vetoing the
Mathis bill, he had pointed out
specifically the possibilities of adopt
IN, gasphalt block as a method of
evading the law.
Under paragraph four, patented
and non-patented types are allowed
lin@the specifications" said Mr.. Sill
ger in his veto message of last
March. THE section, however, fails
to state the manner of laying the al
.ternate types of. ipavements, and it
fafis to state that the manner of
laying the tubes Slid be similar.
This would permit al asphalt block
pavement to be specified in compe-
stition with patented pavements. The
asphalt block, being composed of
.bituminous concrete, could be fairly
with the patent types. AS
.phalt block, however. is more expen-
sives and, necessarily, the patent
type would have the lowest bid. All
Of this would be known even before
the specifications were drawn"
The executive today declared that
the Mathis bill was not an open
Specifications" bill, but n promot-
.mg CLOSED specifications"
- He indicated that at the next ses-
.sion of the lawmakers, he would
lead the fight for a repeal of the
Mathis act. He said that he felt
sure that those legislators who really
thought hat the Mathis bill would
accomplish a good purpose must now
be convinced that it does not; and
thai they will join in the effort he
makes to secure, at the 1924 session,
"a law that will truly be an open
specifications law"

Bone of Contention for Many
Years at South Amboy Will
Soon Be Eliminated.

SOUTH AMBOY, July 3t.--The
Hole in the Wall" the bone of con-
tention for many ears, is fast be-
coming no more. The great wall,
on the easterly side of the hole, has
been torn down and much of the
earth on this side has been moved
by a steam shovel. For the past
several weeks a battery of cameras
operated by people in the Mechan-
icsyille district took last pictures Of
the famous eyesore.
The first few weeks of operation
at the Hole in the Wall was neees-
sarily slow, but since the piling has
been placed and arrangements for
temporary railroad tracks have been
made, the work of building huge
forms and excavating will not take
long. The board of freeholders has
awarded the bid to build a concrete
road from the state bridge to the
corner of Steven avenue and Main
street through the Hole in the Wall.
This work to be completed within
three months. The bids call for a
width of twenty feet, and the resi-
dents of the Mechanicsvil1e section
have petitioned the council to allow
the contractors to pave from curb to
curb on Ridgeway avenue.

A PREHISTORIC CLOAK

A cloak Of wooden cloth, believed to
be 5000 years old, has been found in a
peat bog in Sweden. The slightly acid
water of the peat formation acted as
preservative.
This is the oldest complete garment
even found in Europe, though the Brit
ish museum has several bits of cloth
that are considered still older. But
5000 years is a fairly respectable age.
When that cloth was woven, Homer's
father or grandfather was boy, play
ing in the streets of some Greek town.
The lsraelitish monarchy was not yet
thought of-Saul, its first king, prob
ably was not yet born. Egypt, RIGA
but defenseless, was verging to decay /;
but the founding Of Rome lay farther
in the future than the landing of the
Pilgrims now lies in the past. Through
most of Europe, bronze, rather than
iron, was the chosen metal.
Yet even in that mistily distant time
the northern barbarians either Nyove
WOODEN cloaks for themselves or carried
on trade enough TO buy tlem from
more advanced peoples.
