Ex-Freeholder Points to Cost
of Paving Laid by County
Last Year
—
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 15 — A
hot reply to the statement issued by
the County Board of Freeholders in
regard to their roail program, was
issued today by Frederick Gebhardt,
Sr., of New Brunswick, a former
member of the board and a candi
date this year for nomination on
the Republican ticket.
Mr. Gebhardt declares that the
freeholders kept away from the
main point of construction in their
statement yesterday regarding their
road program, that being the high
' cost of several roads laid down the
, last year. He pointed out that Free
holder George S. Applegate had fos
tered the Old Bridge-Tanner cornel
road, which coH $14 8,0(1(1 for two
and one-half miles of pavement or
i. $56,000 p.-r mile, „nd that Freehold
| er Robert Vandenbergh put across
the Ridgo road at a cost of $73,000
for one and one-third miles or
$53,000 per mile, while the Trenton
turnpike paving cost $175,000 lor
gU- two and a half miles of pavement,
K or $63,000 per mile.
■ The New Brunswick candidate for
■ freeholder alleges, that Freeholder
p BellofTs statement that this $175,000
■ cost for the Trenton turnpike, in
f eluded a portljn of the road laid at
the end of Livingston avenue, is er
reneous. H0 point.i out that th0 O'
fer this road came through the hands
of g Mr. Robertson, one of Mr. Ben
oit's inspectors.
High Cost of Ronds
The high cost of the Ridge road,
Mr. Gebhardt declares, came even In
spite of the fact that labor can now
be obtained for thirty cents an hour,
while during Mr. Gebhardt's reign,
labor was getting sixty cents an
hour. Even under the latter condi
tions’, Mr. Gebhardt points out, the
Easton avenue-George street paving
i.m.I, u-fifl enmnleted for $42,000, a
one and a half mile Job.
Waste is blamed by Mr. Gebhardt I
as being responsible for the high
coat of paving work. Mr. Gebhardt
states that drainage work on tho
George street part of the Easton
avenue-George street job caused
considerable expense in connection '
with this work, and that he was |
hindered from laying a good road
because he was compelled to use
an inferior material. He further
declares that he was hindered by
his colleagues whenever possible, -
during the course of paving this (
road. , . i
Mr. Gebhardt declares that he ‘
still holds the voucher of Frank
Mulvey for work which he declares
was practically needless, and which .
he refused to pay. Mr. Gebhardt £
states, “'if this work was necessary, t
why doesn’t Mulvey take action
against the county.” s

Increase in Attendance at
Community Event Given in
Tent-Program Good
Much larger audiences enjoyed the
performances In the Chautauqua tent
yesterday than the opening day. on
Tuesday, and were well rewarded for
the interest which they manifested.
The program both afternoon and
evening was of exceptional merit
and the lecture by Dr. Frank Bohn,
which followed last night's musical
numbers, was a message which pen
etrated deeply into the minds of the
entire audience and brought home to
scores of Perth Amboyans the true
economic situation which now exists
all over the world.
In the afternoon Dr. W. E. Thomp
son, the Chautaaqua superintendent,
held an Interested audience for near
ly three-quarters of an hour with
his first Chautauqua lecture, “Bread
Enough, But Hungry.”
His lecture, an allegory compar
ing horses and men summed itself
up Into a fascinating word picture
vividly portraying the race of life
as compared to a race of spirited
horses and conclusively proving that
it is the things of the spirit which
count. Coupled with his experience
as a Ked Cross worker in Houma
nia is the agreeable personality with
which he pervades the Chautauqua
at every performance.
Dr. Thompson will give two other
lectures durin gthe week of perform
ances the first one entitled "Free
for All," which he will give this aft
ernoon and the second, “War, Why?
With Whom?” on tomorrow after
noon.
Music Is Feature.
The Boston Musicians Quintet ren
dered a high type of musio which
filled the afternoon and evening per
iods gratifyingly. With three of the
instrumentalists members of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, a
pianist of great ability and a lyric
soprano of merit, the quintet show
ed great versatility. The vocal duets
by Georges Mager and Madame Le
mounier were an attractive part of
the program while the solos by Mr.
Mager as cornetist, Carl. Stockbridg^,
cellist and Frederick Mann, violin
ist, were supplemented by orchestral
numbers of pleasing selection.
Dr. Bohn, perhaps the greatest at
traction of the entire week, lived tip
o his reputation as student of his
tory and economics, statesman and
lecturer. Dr. Bohn spoke on “All
the World and Ourselves," arW
showed that while there might be a
possibility of living for ourselves
only, we should, for the betterment
}f the entire race, live with "all the
world.” The superiority of the Eng
lish speaking nations, mainly the
L'nitod States and Canada, the posi
tion which they now hold among
the other nations and their possibil
ities of dominating the world were
brought out most clearly, but the re
sults of taking advantage of this
power was pictured in such a way
that tho audience felt with the
speaker that the satisfaction of
achievement'ln this particular line
would be greatly overshadowed by
the attitude of hatred which would
materialize in other countries.
lXr. Bohn, who was present at the
peace conference, has hobnobbed
with the greatest statesmen of all
countries and has facts and figures
it his finger tips. The speaker, while
not talking for a league of nations,
impressed upon the audience that
some nature of a pact where all
nations must have a say would be
the only salvation for the lasting
peace of the worth.
Today’s program will consist of
entertainers and an Illustrated Iec
:ure, "The New Power In Southern
Europe,” by Drew Pearson thl* af
:ernoon and the comedy drama,
'Nothing but the Truth” tonight. The
lecturer is well known and is well
informed concerning conditions in
Europe. The comedy tonight Is on©
lhat gained great popularity on
Broadway and will b© presented by
i competent cast.

At Least Ten Reports of Rob
beries to Police in Last
Two Days
No less than ten gas meter rob
beries have been reported to the lo*
cal police department during the
past two days, according to Detec
tive Lawrence A. Long. Entry to
cellars is being made and the cash
extracted from the quarter meters.
In some cases the boxes are broken
open and in other instances keys
have been employed in the removal
of the money.
Lieutenant Long warns the peo
ple of the city to be especially care
ful of the condition of the fasten
ings on their cellar doors, saying
that investigation has shown many
persons to be leaving their cellar
doors either actually open or un
locked. A rigid investigation of the
robberies is in progress at present.
It has been pointed out that gas
meter robberies mean a double loss
to the householders since discrepan
cies between the amount of gas reg
istered and the money found in the
box must be made good by the hold
ers of the meters. A
