SILLS SHOW GREAT EXTRAVAGANCE OS GRAFT, HE SAYS Freeholder Driver Announces He Will Probe the Plank Road Expenditures. i Charging that bills already in hia possession show exorbitant expendi tures, if not downright graft, in con nection with the purchase of supplies for the new Plank road. Freeholder Frank L. Driver, chairman of the Es sex committee of the joint committee, announced that ho will probe his own ! charges of Illegal procedure and report at the next meeting of the committee. Driver, who was defeated for joint j chairman by Freeholder Holcomb, de ] Clares that In the meantime he will ' withhold his signature from all bills | contracted by Manager Dugan, and this threatens not only to .keep the work tied up, but to force a worse muddle 1 than at present. In his statement Driver says: "I have always suspected that some j deal was to be made by which I should I be deprived of the chairmanship, bul ! Freeholder Holcomb stated to me and : also to others publicly on severul oc casions that he wocld support me for! j chairman and that there was nothing! in the story that Hudson County want- j ed him for chairman and that he had agreed to accept. He said he would vote for me, but at the last meeting of the committee things came different ly and I really hate to express what I think of It and of some of those who were responsible for what happened. I am still chairman of the Essex com mittee and 1 can't see what powers Freeholder Holcomb has as chairman i of the joint committee ." Slnv* In Deference to Taxpayer*. Freeholder Richard Mattia had this to say on the chairmanship last night: "I haven't much to add to the bridge controversy, except to say that If It wasn't for the fact that the taxpayers of Essex County would suffer I would have left the meeting room and never would have returned. "I hate to sit and try to respect a presiding officer who has in my judg ment betrayed the trust bestowed upon him by the director of our board and the people of Essex County. But, al though much against my Inclination, I will continue to serve, as the Plank road Is now under construction and a million dollars of the people's money will be spent for that Improvement. I am compelled to remain to safeguard the Interests of our people, especially at. this time. “I will do all within my poivi^ to cause a thorough Investigation of the different, purchases, and when the In vestigation Is over, if proper systems are given to us, the eyes of both the Essex and Hudson taxpayers will be opened.” CLINTON HILL LEAGUE’S DINNER.

Ho also 1 1 - costed that the tax assessors be', j recjnested to furnish a list of these j properties and that arrangements be made to dif 1 . ■ of them. This, was I concurred In b.i Alderman Congleton I and Aldermen Archibald, Congleton and Hoir.ol were appointed by Chairman) Reynolds to arrange for the sale. Alderman Congleton broiMjht up the oattey with reference to property ac quired at tax sales and stated that lie would like to know how many of these properties the city owned and also wished to know if the titles to those! that have not been redeemed have1 been perfected by the Martin act de-l partment and were ready to he sold j again.

Van Horn, appeared be- . I fore the committee and urged the ex penditure of $2,000 {or the artistic de velopment of the triangular plot In front of the Court House, where the u onument is to be located. Their ar gument was that the monument would be one of the greatest works of its 1 kind and that the location would have , to be fitting. The matter was re ferred. to City Counsel Nugent and Auditor Rowe, and It Is understood that j the money will be appropriated. Alderman John M. Judge, of the Six- ! teentli Ward, and a committee of the Clinton Hill Improvement Association, urged the appropriation of money for a truck house and If possible for a po- i lice station for the Clinton Hill section, i but they were Informed that their re- j quest could not be .-onsidered until the tax budget Is made tip as there Is no money available at the present time. , Alderman Judge told the committee that the only truck house for the Clln | ton Hill section was in Belmont avenue and that at a recent fire he had noticed | the men of the truck walking up the | hill above Bergen street to make pull ' ing easier for the horses.

I A welcome home reception will be ] given tonight at No. 8 Central avenue, ! ihe new headquarters of the People’s I Temple, to Frederick and Pattie Wat kin I. iy, the popular leaders of that organization, who have returned from a month's successful revival work l at. the Methodist Episcopal Tabernacle | at North Camden. The increased at ! tendance at the new hall proves that the change of location was not only a wise, but a beneficial one; and the good work will go on with still greater zeal. Since the Inception of the work at 38 Clinton street, three and a half years ago. nearly four hundred souls have t professed conversion. Families parted through wrong living have been re united; homes wrecked by drunken ness are now the abodes of comfort and happiness, and many whose lives were without hope in this world or the next are now a credit to themselves and the community at large. The great good done by a mission of this character, ,right in the centre of o£ir city, can hardly be estimated and Cannot but be far-reaching In <ts effect upon the lives of those who have come under Its uplifting influences.
