Gliding If they are in fit condition TO

the trenches had been Improperly
done and that there was no excuse
for the huge piles of dirt at tne
center of the road.

specifications had not been complied
with, but assured the freeholders
that the township would demand the
complete repair of the roadway pc
fore the contractor leaves the Jop,

ised to station men at each end OF
the road for the purpose OF direct
ing traffic in an attempt to minimize
the danger to the travelling puoilc.

tions FOR bridge to be erected over
Noes creek at Longfellow street and
Lick street, Carteret.
All of the standing and special
committees of the board were re,

Samples of Raw Material Are
Taken from Eleven Tank
Cars Today
DAVID MAKES SURVEY
Chief County Detective lnves-
tigates Storage of Plcrlc
Acid and yGuncotton

Not satisfied with the statements
made to the investigators In the
Nixon disaster of last Saturday that
the LIQUID ammonium nitrate shipped
into the Ammonite Company's plant
in tank cars by the Columbia Sal
wage Company from Raritan arsenal
contained not more than two-tenths
of one per cent of INT in solution
or suspension. county detectives TINS
morning took samples from eleVen
different tank cars.
Eight of these cars were on the
Nixon property and three were on
the Raritan Arsenal property, having
been consigned to the Ammonlte
| Company but not yet delivered. One
pint of the LIQUID in each car was
| taken by County Detectives Fitzpat-
rick and Collins and this liquid VIII
be analyzed to determine the exact
amount of TINT contained in the
solution.
The possibility that the raw ma
terial coming into the plant contain
ed several per cent. of TNT ratner
than a fraction of one per cent; was
seen by state and county investiga-
tors yesterday during the questioning
at the ruins of the plant of r. Norris
Shreve, the Ammonite president. He
had answered several questions de-
claring such a thing possible before
his attorney advised him to remain
silent and answer no more such
questions.
Shreve told the investigators that
he never sold any of the TINT which
was separated from the ammonium
nitrate during the chemical process
used in manufacturing the ammonite
fertilizer. He said this TINT was
washed away with other waste mat
ter along a ditch and thence into the
river Those conducting the inquiry
questioned the Ammonite Company
president as to the possibility OF
considerable INT being stored up as
a result of the failure of the water
to carry it off from the plane.
Chief of County Detectives Ferd
A. David. investigating the reports
guncotton being buried on the
Nixon meadows and picric acid
stored there has earned that 1900
cases of guncotton containing 200
pounds each were buried in the
marshy meadow since 1921 and since
then about eight feet OF moist soil
has been placed over this material.
Railroad tracks are now laid ovel
this ground, 1t was learned by De-
tective David. and it is considered
perfectly safe. The investigation
into the storage of picric acid by
the Butterworth-Ju Company
on the Nixon, property showed that
every precaution was being taken
by the Nixon concern to prevent
an exposion, the county detective
said, as the material is constantly
wet down, the grass about the con-
tainers is cut to prevent grass fires
reaching it and dikes have been
built around the propertyf1
Assistant Prosecutor John E.
Toolan had the grand jury to at
tend today and could not devote
much time to the explosion investi-
gaton. He said that it will prob
ably be a week or ten days before
anything definite can be done as
the results of the analysis of the
various samples taken at the plant
win goven further action.

RESUME OLD FEUD

TRENTON, March z. - The old
feud between the legislature and the
governor, a legacy of last years high
way fight, was kept alive today by
a reply of Senate Majority Leader
Bright to Silzer's recent criticism of
the legislature in which the execu-

done nothing to solve pressing state
problems.
Bright asserted the executive
criticism was "full of glittering gem
eralites" concering water, schools,
taxation and institutions and agen-
cies with no concrete suggestions for
constructive 1egislations.
