WANT SUITABLE BINDER
Protest Against Paying Com
pany for Patent Material
Used on the Road
[By Evening News Staff Correspondent.]
NEW BRUNSWICK, June 24.—
Repairs made by the county to the t
New Market-Stelton road recently, ,
tvere severely attacked and criticized '
in n r>i ni union firm ranaivaH tVnm 1
the road committee of the New Mar- i
ket Grange yesterday. I
The repairs to the portion of the
road extending from the Lincoln
highway to the Stelton station, were
tompleted last Monday at which time
(the road was opened up to traffic.
but the repair has proven to be very ,
unsatisfactory to the taxpayers liv- .
ing in that vicinity, who have de- ,
y manded that something be done im
mediately to properly bind the sur
facing, thereby saving the taxpayers j
^^^^'■“nioney that has been expended.
In the words of the emphatic pro- j
test entered, "the road was opened ,
Monday and is now breaking up. ,
the so-called binder fails to either t
harden or bind and as it is it remains j
an eyesore and a disgrace. The re- ,
luest is made that a suitable binder
bg placed there at once in order to
save the money that you have now '
invested. t
The material used in doing this 1
f k is known as "ugite" and is i
naively used by the state highway '
irtme^t with satisfactory results. £
igh kheeholder Walter Quacken- '•
who supervised the repairs has S
rted the material as showing l
eery unsatisfactory results.
According to the complaint made 1
he road was propertly scarified and (
prepared and the men working on
:he job did a good days work under
:he direction of the freeholder, who .
•vas complimented on his efforts to ,
make a job out of a "most unsuitable
material.”
A protest against paying the Ugote
Company for the material, was also
intered, though Mr. Quackenbush i
stated at the freeholders’ meeting r
/esterday, that representatives of the I
company had viewed the road and t
had promised to put it in proper f
f shape before expecting any payment.
^ The communication from the
grange committee is in line with the
letermination of that body, that sat- e
isfactory roads must be the result a
from the money spent by the coun- r
ty fathers, and that any money so t
expended in their locality shall be
ipent judiciously. v

No One Hurt, is Claim Made
by Officials of the
Plant
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
Explosives Kept in Meadows,
a Safe Distance From the
Plant Buildings
Ar. explosion at 2:10 o’clock this
afternoon at the plant of the Nixon
Nitiate Works, near Raritan Arsenal
shook surrounding territory for sev
eral miles and was p.a.n.y heard in
this city. Reports from the Nixon
plant were to the effect that no one
was hurt.
A large supply of government sup
plies which had been stored at a
considerable distance from the plant
caught tire and exploded. Just what
the substance was which exploded
could not be learned early this aft
ernoon, but the deafening report
would indicate that it was a high ex
plosive of some kind.
Nothing definite could be learned
at ihe Nixon works except that there
had been an explosion of goven
ment materials at a distance from
me iaciory ana mat no one naa
been injured. A fire had been burn
ing in the meadows near the sup
plies for ten minutes prior to the
explosion, it was learned from an
other source and efforts to prevent
the flames spreading to the stor
age unit were without avail.
Grass fires in the meadows about
the Nixon plant and Camp Raritan (
in which are stored thousands of
pounds of explosives and shells
have been a common occurrence for
some time but they have always
been overcome before reaching any
of the supplies. Realizing the pos
sibility of such an explosion as oc- rj
curred today the supplies were
stored in spots several hundred yards g
from each other so that the explo- £
sion of one might not set off an- y
other.
The excitement at the Nixon plant c
mil early investigation by officials c
nade it impossible to secure much r
information and consequently it is f]
not known whether it was a ruwga- j
sine which blew up or whether it t
was a storage house In which var- v
ous kinds of government materials 0
were stored. b
A few minutes after the explosion
elephone calls began to pouring into y
.he Evening News office from those b
vho had heard the report and w'ant- b
*d information as to its whereabouts, t
rhose having relatives or friends em- t
cloyed at either the Nixon plant or r
’amp Raritan w'ere anxious for de- u
tails as to the extent of the dam- w
ige done, being gravely concerned b
ner the safety of those working at h
he plants. Is
It is understood that the mater- s;
als which exploded were not the b
property of the Nixon Company but ti
dther belonged to the government or ti
I private concern of Newark- which
lad been unable to get any boats to
nove it from the spot where it was
itored. The amount of materials de. ^

Mayor William C. Wilson an
nounced today that it is his inten
tion of naming a committee of
three tomorrow to take action at
once in disbursing some of the
money raised in the firemen’s
families relief fund, as some of
the dependents are In need of
financial assistance at once. The
mayor has suggested that $500
be advanced to the survivors of
each dead fireman. The fund will
also close on Saturday of next
week. It is hoped that by that
time it will have reached a figure
which will mean considerable as
sistance to all concerned.

The fund being raised for the re
lief of the families of the nine fire
men killed in the discharge of their

public demonstration was held at
their funerals last Saturday, passed
the $10,000 mark this morning when
more than $1500 was added to the

in the amount is being made with
each day and the appeal of Mayor
William C. Wilson for the people of
the city to stand behind the brave
tire laddies who have answered their
last alarm is being met by everyone
in some manner or other.
In the list yesterday the amount
credited to the George B. McClellan

$100 instead of $10, this being an
error.
