WOODBRIDGE TO GET
MANY BIDS ON PAVING

WOODBRIDGE, June 18.-Bids
for $Ss,S00 worth of road construc-
tion work to be carried on in Wood
bridge township will be received at
the meeting of the township COM
mittee on Monday night, June 80.
Owing to the lack of sufficient fin
ances in the township treasury to
permit of the old practice of the
township paying one-third of the
paving cost and the property owners
along the line of Improvement the
remaining two-thirds, it has been de-
cided to- have the township defray
only one-quarter of the paving cost,
the remaining three-quarters being
paid by the porperty owners on the
street being paved. The Evening
News was in error last night when
it stated tha township would pay
three-quarters of the cost under the
new arrangements. This change in
policy results in the township paying
only rs per cent. of the total cost
whereas 1t formerly paid 33 1-3 per
cent. This change in policy was ex-
planned to the residents along the
streets which are to be paved and
the fact was emphasized that IL the
property owners do not care to pay
this portion of the paving work it
will not be done. f. s.

man ARRESTED HERE
HAS RECORD IN PRISONS

Captain of Detectives Lawrence 4
Long has learned that Lesandreyjs
Alday, the twenty-three-ye -year-oId
ship fireman. apprehended by Pa.
trolman Henry Zanzalari in connec-
ton with the I. Stern robbery, has
a prison record.
He was arrested in France laist
year on vagrancy charge and was
sent to Liege prison; in New York
in March of this year on a robbery
charge, and again IN New York last
month, on assault and robbery
charges. On both of the latter oc-
casions he was also charged with
having a gun in his possession. He
was discharged for lack of evidence
in the March case and the MAY case
Is still pending.
Alday was committed to the conn
ty jail yesterday In connection with
the local charge, in default of So. 900
bail. He is charged with grand lar
ceny. The six Chileans arrested bv
the local detectives for having the
goods stolen from Stern's in their
possession, identified Alday as one of
the men who brought the stolen
goods to the Penn street boarding
mouse, where it was found by the
detectives.
1t is probable that Alday and his
gang may be connected with the
iooting Of the Cannon & Sheehy
store on Smith street, which occurred
early last Saturday morning.

MATTHEWS WILL name
SILzER At CONVENTION
CONTINUED from page II

The headquarters of the New Jer-
sey delegates and alternates will be
in the Hotel Pennsylvania and here
there will be a second Silzer. head
quarters too. Incidentally the New
Jersey governors picture will be in
all the hotel lobbies and wherever
there are congregating places of
delegates. State Chairman Harry
Heher, of this city, will be in charge
of the headquarters in the Hotel
Pennsylvania. He will be there from
Friday of this week on.
+ Newspaper friends of Mr.. Silzer
have been busy for weeks quietly
putting in some effective work for
him through various publicity chan
neis in order to have his name be-
come sufficiently familiar with the
delegates from the west and south
to be recognized without undue ex-
plantations when it Is placed before
the convention.
Whether the governor shall have
the solid support of the twenty-eight
delegates from this state on the first
and succeeding roll calls remains to
be seen. Nugent may refuse TO fol-
low the decision of the delegates
when in session here recently to vote
as a unit and in this the Essex man
might count upon the support OF
United States Senator Edwards and
delegates from the districts about
Newark.
All along 1t has been said that
there has been an affinity between
the Silzer candidacy and that OF
Governor Smith and in the event the
former cannot win, the New Jersey
strength would be thrown to the
New York governor. Earlier in the
play there was talk Of an under
standing with the McAdoo men
which included the tieing up of the
Silzer name as the vice presidential
candidate and running mate with
the former secretary of the treasury
Whether this alliance comes tc
pass or not, it Is certain that the
governor OF this state will appea
strongly for the second place on the
| ticket in the event that wasterr
man is named for the first position
II an easterner Is nominated fol
| president, then the Silzer chance,
will be mot SO good"
