CITY OFFICIALS INSPECT
THE WARREN PAVEMENT AND
ARE MUCH PLEASED WITH IT.
Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen Visit Newark and
Watch the Material Being Laid in One of the Thoroughfares
There-Mayor Says the Pavement is One of the Best
on Earth.
- s
Mayor Seaman, Alderman-at-Largc
Bckort, nnd Aldermen Toft, Runyon
and Gannon saw the Warren Bithnlitic
pavement being laid on Blocker Btreet,
Newark, yesterday. As stated in yes
terday’s News, the mayor invited the
Board of Aldermen to accompany him
on a trip to inspect the pavoment
which is being advocated for Rector
street.
The city fathers were met in New
nrk by J. C. Mundy, Superintendent
of the Board of Works. Representa
tives of tho company were also on
hand. The local men were taken to
the street nnd they watched tho pro
cess of putting down the material.
Thev saw a test made. A man was
set to work to cut out a square of
about three feet. It took him an hour
and a half to make an excavation
three inches deep. This tonghness of
the pavement would make it a very
difficult and expensive matter to take
up, onoe it is laid.
The maror, when asked what he
thought of tho pavement, said: “It
is tho best on earth. One great point
in its favor is that it is right in New
ark where anyone can see it, not way
out in Wisconsin. ”
He thinks it would make a lino
material for Rector street.
Tho aldermen were all much pleased
also. Some of them were surprised
to find a road which has all the
appearanoe of macadam. They ex
pected to see a smooth dark surface.
One thinks it may prove to be dusty.
Nothing is known of the durability of
the bitlmlitic, but the Perth Amboy
delegation were nmcli pleased with
what they have seen.
NEW BRUNSWICK GOT
$3,500 AS ONE GIFT.
Anonymous Giver Believed to be
Father O’Grady Pastor cf
St. Peter s Parish.
New Brunswick, Deo. 1:—There is
much speculation among tho members
of St. Peter’s parish, as to the identi
ty of the friond or friends who cave
anonymously nearly $3,000 toward the
special fund raised by tho ehurch in a
recent competition with the churches
of Perth Amboy and South Amboy.
Tho acknowledged contributions pub
lished, footed up only $8,700, lmt the
total amount of the fund raised by tho
clmrch was $7,200. St. Peter’s won
by a large margin, but South Arnbov
raised $4,500, so that if it had not
been for tho large addition made
anonymously St. Peter’s would have
been beaten.
It is believed Mgr. O’Grady, tho
rector of tho ohuroli, was the largest
anonymous contributor. Two years
ago, when he celebrated his silver
jnbilce, he wns presented with a parse
of $2,500. Practically all of this ho
has tnrned back to the clmrch for
parochial purposes.

John Pfeiffer, the newly Ttooted
Alderman-at-Large, who will preside"'*
over the meetings of the council after
January 1, consented to a snort inter
view with an Evening News reporter
vesterday afternoon. He said ho had
not had time to consider any changes
in the committees which he will
appoint in January. Two Democratic
aldermen besides the Alderman-at
Large go out of office and their vacan
cies on the committees will have to
be filled. As to the reappointment of
the hold-over aldermen on the com
mittees, he Bays there may be some
changes. £His idea of men for certain
places is bound to differ from that of
Mr. Eckert.
< Mr. Pfeiffer has not yet learned the
full extent of measures he may take
and says that he has no special men
in mind for any particular commit
tees. He does not think he will de
cide until just before the new board
organizes.
As to pushing of any improvements J
he has in mind, Mr. Pfeiffer says that j
