Contracts Are Awarded fo
Laying Mains in That Sec
tion of Woodbridge
THREE YEARS’ AGITATION
Meeting at Which Bids Are
Opened Largely Attended
by People of Section
NEWARK MAN WINNEF
Work Will be Started Shortly
Local Labor Will be Em
ployed as Far as Possible
[By Evening News Correspondent.]
HOPELAVVN, July 14.—After
three years of agitation for an
adequate water supply for this sec
tion, the matter was finally brought
to completion Tuesday night hy the
awarding of the contract for the
laying of mains. First brought up
for consideration during the war,
when labor was scarce and high and
the cost of materials even higher,
several meetings were held and the
matter discussed from all sides. The
•ttorts of the township committee
men were misconstrued at times,
but they continued their efforts, and
It Is due to them that the project
has at last reached the point where
an ordinance has been drawn and
4 passed, bids requested and received,
w and the contract awarded.
Many at Meeting.
When the Woodbridge township
committee met in Sutch's hall.
Hopelawn, on Tuesday night, to
open the bids, the hall was packed
to the doors with property holders
assembled to hear tho bids read,
having been assured that relief was
a reality and not a mere promise.
The feeling of satisfaction was
very much in evidence, being a di
rect contrast to the spirit of dissatis
faction which haa pervaded meetings
held In the past to further the move
ment. Committeemen William Hoy
and A. Larson, of this district, have
felt keenly the necessity of adequate
water provision at Hopelawn and
have been untiring in their efforts
to have the matter Drought to a suc
cessful conclusion.
Seven Contractors Old.
Seven contractors submitted bids
for the laying of the water mains,
the successful bidder being W. G.
Fritts. of Newark, whose figure for
the work was $30,501.40, over $25,
000 less than the highest bid presen
ted. that of the Hast Jersey Bridge
Company. Other bids were submit
ted by the Middlesex Water Com
pany: 27; Hardiman & Larson,
lUPtt.ll; M. J. Demarest, $3G,
—|—TfflTifrHtmeTloan Utilities Company.
910,477.25; Liddle & Pfeiffer. $41.
127.15; and the Hast Jersey Bridge
Company. $50,132.75. Previous to
the reading of the bids Committee
man Hoy questioned the bidders as
to the employment of local labor,
provided they were awarded the con
tract, and each bidder agreed to pro
cure locally whatever labor was
needed. This Is expected to reduce
, unemployment in this section, since
the laying of the water mains will he
a ia^ge piece of work.
FYom Hogan’s Corner
The water mains are to be laid
from Rogan's Corner to the city line
along New Brunswick avenue, and
branch lines will be installed in all
the streets, service being supplied all
lots. Fire hydrants will be installed,
thus assuring sufficient Are protec
tion to the section.
The work is being paid for by
Woodbridge township, bonds having
been Issued for the purpose. Prop
erty owners will be assessed approx
imately $14 for each lot. and will
7»y $io each year. The Middlesex
Water Company will make all con
nections, install and read all meters,
and make collections, paying to
Woodbridge township Afty per cent,
of the gross receipts each year.
speani Jjvgisim.mil
Special legislation was necessary
tor the installing of the new system
•ad additional legislation will be
accessary In five years, when the
Middlesex Water Company contem
plates taking over the water line.
The water company expects to reim
burse the township for the expense
fmttrred In installation, and at the
same time will refund payments to
individual property owners.
Upon the adjournment of the
meeting Tuesday night great satis
faction was manifest, everyone feel
ing that the local committeemen had
worked for the absolute benefit o(
the property holders In the section
affected.

BY MILTON BRONNER.
LONDON. July 14.—If conferences
now progressing bring peace in Ire-,
land, the result will be due to this
most varying set of influences in the
history of great world events:
FIRST—The grim resolve of the
bulk of Irishmen to follow De Val
era’s lead.
SECOND—King George’s determi
nation to pacify Ireland if possible.
THIRD—The growing dismay of
the British taxpayers at the enor
mous sums spent in repressing Ire
land without coming any nearer to
a settlement.
FOURTH—The growing discontent
In the British army at the work.
FIFTH—The publicity campaign
of the Northcliffe press, urging the
olive branch be extended to Ireland.
SIXTH—The pressure exerted by
the premiers of British independent
dominions who saw peace possible
in Ireland only if the Irish were giv
en independence within the empire
similar to Canada and Australia.
SEVENTH—The influences of
America, reinforced by every promi
nent American whom Lloyd George
has met in the past few month in
cluding George Harvey, Thomas La
mont and Bernard Baruch. All are
supposed to have told him that there
was a slim chance of Anglo-Ameri
can approachment while Ireland was
oppressed.
Manv here who are well informed.
however, look upon King George as
the real hero in the situation. The
cabinet has been divided on the Irish
question for a long time. Churchill
ind the Lord Chancellor being count
ed among those who wish concilia
tory methods, while the premier is
supposed to have sided with the ma
jority that believed in more military
force.
The king really forced action on
the Irish question by his insistency
In the famous speech he delivered in
Belfast June 22, when he opened the
Ulster parliament.
His plea to Irishmen to forgive
and forget and to Join in making
Ireland a land of peace, contentment
and good will profoundly stirred
England.
The premier, quick to sense what
the public was thinking. Jumped in
on June 24. with a message to De
Valera, ‘‘the chosen leader of the
great majority in southern Ireland,"
asking him to come to London for a
conference with himself and Sir
James Craig, the first Ulster premier.
On June 28 De Valera accepted,
but insisted that all Irish leaders
first ought to tneet in Dublin to set
tle Ute Irish differences on Irish soil.
Craig decliiied, but the invitation
was accepted by southern Ireland
headed by Lord Middleton, great
Tory politician, who is supposed to
have been influenced by his sister.
For years she has worked to alle
viate the distress of the peasantry
and sympathized with their aspira-.
lions.
The government showed its good
intentions by beginning to release
Sinn Fein leaders from prison,
among them Arthur Griffiths, vice
president of Dail Eireann, the Sin
Fein parliament.
American Independence Day may
be forever a memorable date in Irish
history because, while thousands of
Irishmen waved the American flag
in Dublin. De Valera and Griffiths
met Southern Unionists on that, dav
at the Mansion House there.
Among the other things proposed
was a truce between the fighting
forces. This finally was agreed up
on July 8 and was made effective
July XI. General McReady. com
manding the crown military forces
signed for the government, while
the signer for Sinn Fein was Mich
ael Collins, the picturesque, dare
devil commander of the Irish Re
publican Army, for whom crown
forces had been vainly searching for
more than two years.
A romanttic touch was added to
the proceedinigs by the fact that
Ueneral Smuts, Boer premier of
South Africa, who once fought Bri
tain, was instrumental in arrang
ing for the reception of Be Valera,
Ccllins, Griffiths and the other
"rebtj's."
Smuts owes his great Influence
here to the fact that he has recon
ciled Boers to British rule, by em
phasizing the freedom they have
under the dominion form of govern
ment. He insisted that the same
thing can be done with Ireland if it
is similarly given control of its own
affairs.
Responsible Irishmen think cur
rent events completely justify the
five year campaign started by the
Sinn Fein with the Easter uprising
of 1916. The next high spot in
Irish history came in May, 1917,
when Lloyd George proposed settle
ment of the Irish question by hav
ing a convention of all Irishmen to
draft a constitution for the coun«
try.
All he asked was that they submil
a constitution for better government
of Ireland within the empire. H«
pledged the government to carry In
to effect any decision of the conven
tion which secured the substantial
agreement of Its members.
Sinn Felners declined to partici
pate unless the convention was left
free to decree complete independence
of Ireland; unless the English gov
ernment publicly pledged Itself to
the United States and the powers of
Europe to ratify the decision of the
convention; unless the convention
consist of none but persons freely
elected by adult suffrage of the peo
ple, and unless prisoner of war treat
ment was accorded to Irish captive*
In British jails.
The convention failed, as Sinn
Reiners abstained, as the Ulsterites
would not agree to join with the rest
of Ireland, and as the Premier him
self refused to grant Ireland fiscal
autonomy.

Wheeler in Statement on 11th
f Hour Rally to Save Medical
Beer
rny The Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON, July 3 4.—Declar
ing “the eleventh-hour rally to save
medical beer shows the purpose of
the opposition to destroy prohibition
enforcement,” Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, said:
“Medical beer is not recognized
in the medical profession or In pro
hibition laws of the state, and the
proposed laws penalize only the
guilty. The anxiety of the Irrecon
cilable wets by Senator Wadsworth
about bringing prohibition into dis
repute with the pending bill fools
no one. If some of these violent
opponents thought this bill would
accomplish that purpose they would
not oppose it. Real friends of the
eighteenth amendment are not dis
turbed over a measure that means
honest prohibition enforcement.”

(Continued from page 1)
tratlon board In settling the differ
ences between the lathers, plaster
ers and their bosses.
Plumbers
The plumbers union and the mas
ter plumbers came to a complete
agreement. Under this agreement
the men will receive 99 per day for
the balance of this week. Begin
ning Monday morning the wage
will be 98 per day. This Is a re
duction of 91 in the wage scale,
the scale prior to May being 99 per
day.
Painters
Beginning today the painters
agreed to work for 97.50 per day.
Prior to May the painters were
receiving 98 per day.
Sheet Metal Workers
No final agreement was reached
in this case, although an arbitra
tion committee will be appointed by
tomorrow night to decide on the
matter. The arbitration committee
Will be similar to that appointed by
the masons. The men returned to
work today at the old wage of 59,
which will continue until the arbi
tration board reports its findings.
Electrical
Although the electrical union
agreed to a reduction of 91, cutting
the wage scale from 59 to 58 per
day, the bosses refused to sign the
agreement as presented by the union
and thus open shop conditions still
exist as far as this trade is concern
ed.
Roofers
The roofers settled the differences
and will continue to be paid the old
scale of wages amounting to 57 a
day. This is the same wage as paid
for this class of work all over the
state.
