BV FREEHOLDERS
—
_
Action Delayed Six Weeks.;
Award Contract for Wing
to Jail.
The Board of Freeholders yester
day confirmed the appointment of
five persons as a board of trustees,
of the proposed Essex County Parent
al School. The five trustees—Lathrop
Anderson, J. Henry Bacheller, Mrs.
Sidney M. Colgate, Mrs. F. C. Jacob
son and Wilfred M. Mancbee—were
named by County Judges William P.
Martin and Harry V. Osborne about
six weeks ago and confirmation of
their names had been withheld by
the board until yesterday. Their
term of office is for three years, or
until their successors are appoinieu.
The board hesitated about confirm
ing the appointees of the two judges
for the reason that the trustees will
have absolute control of the new in
stitution and the employes there will
not necessarily have to lie chosen
from the civil service list.
Oppos'tion to the appointments was
made by Freeholder Mattia on the
ground tha.t it would tend to take
away from tho Board of Freeholders
certain powers whicli the people had
Imposed at election. "It seems that
each year,” Mr. Mattia said, "rights
era taken away from some elected
officials and given to persons not
chosen by vote of the people and who
cannot be recalled.”
tlntthi Objects.
Another objection raised h>> Mr.
Mattia was that it would take from
the House of Detention most of its
inmates, as only 2 per cent, of that
institution were adults, and would
therefore be a step towards doing
away with the House of Detention
and would throw out of employment
men and women who are now sup
posed to be protected by civil ser
vice. With so few inmates, ne
argued, the expense of maintaining
the detention place would he out of
proportion.
To this Director Kvans responded
that the parental school need not
necessarily depopulate the House of
Detention, for while some children
held there might be subjects for the
school, it was not the intention of
making the latter a place for keeping
children needed as witnesses.
jvir. munm ik jumping ui conclu
sions, he said, "when he states that
only 2 Der cent, of the Inmates would
be left there after the parental
school was established. It would be
folly to take children against whom
there was no charge and place them
with those at the Parental School. I
The director stated that an effort |
bad been made to obtain an amend
ment to the act creating the board
of trustees, placing Us employes
under civil service, and there was i
still hopes that it could be ac-1
complished at the next session of the
Legislature, which would be in plenty
of time, as the school could not be
built und ready for use before then. I
“I believe the people appointed will I
Join in working for such an amend
ment," he said.
Mr. Mattia remarked that the citi
zens of Newark, who are paying 70
per cent, of the county taxes, are
maintaining a parental home for city
boys and that the county institution
•r.whuid be plaeini; an extra burden
on them.' Th's might be relieved, he
addpd, by consolidating the two in
stitutions.
The contract for the construetlon
of a wing extension to the county
Jail was awarded to the Reynolds
Construction Company, of Newark,
whose bid of Jis.nnn was the lowest
There was a divided vote on the
ge..
question, however. Freeholders Mat
tia, Harrison and Waters opposing it
w'th the contention that to spend
that amount on the old jail building
would be a waste of money. An ad
dition to relieve the congestion at
the jail has been urged by the county
judges and by grand juries and it
was not until the last session that
legislation was obtained authorizing
the expenditure.
That the freeholders would be l'able
to Indictment for dereliction of duty
if they did not build the wing was
declared improbable by Mr. Mattla,
who favors building an addition to
the Caldwell penitentiary instead,
and send'ng all prisoners under sen
tence there, keeping the jail for those
aw'bintr trial and for witnesses.
“We have the legislation now,” he
said, "and could build an addition to
the penitentiary for $’0. 01 which
wou'd house ninety or 110 prisoners,
while the addition proposed to the
jail will care for only thirty-four.
We could then remodel one of the
wings at the jail and house more wit
nesses and prisoners awaiting trial
than under the plan you now have.
After you have built this wing you
will still be In need of room for wit
nesses. There is no danger of an in
dictment. because we can show our
good intentions by starring immedi
ately to erect the addition to the
'pen.’ "
Mr. Waters said he did not believe
it. a wise plan to spend money on n
building that would have to be torn
down soon.
I’rRFH Large lluinilng.
A larger building on the peniten
tiary grounds and the consolidation
of the jail and pentitentlary, in the
op'tiion of Mr. Harrison, would be the
best plan as he said one Institution
could be run for less money than two.
There was the same situation in re
gard to the old South Orange Avenue
Asylum, he said, and it was finally
decided to build one large Institu
tion at Overbrook Instead of main
taining two buildings. "I am sure
the citizens of Newark would like to
see the old jail removed and we have
ample room in the west end of the
county," ho said. “I do not believe
there is any fear of indictment as
long as the Judges understood we
were endeavoring to comply with
their request by relieving conditions.”
County Engineer Frederick Refiner
was yesterday authorized by the free
holders’ road board to advertise for
bids for oil to be spread on the 150
miles of country roads. Non-as
phaltic oil, s!rn lar to thnt used last
year, will be purchased, and it is
estimated that 400,000 gallons will be
required, to cost approximately $30,
000.
The bids will be received on June
1, and at the same time estimates
for about 25,000 tons of crushed stone
will also be received.
An objection by Director Walter A.
Evans stopped the awarding of a con
tract to Storms & Co., of this city,
for the heating and ventilating work
at the proposed tuberculosis pavilion
at the Essex County Hospital. Storms
& Co.’s bids of $10,986 was the low
est for the work, John H. Cooney, of
Harrison, being next lowest, with a
bid of $17,798.
Mr. Evans’s objection to the award
w'as based on the fact, he declared
that Storms * Co. had been derelict
in fulfilling a similar contract at the
Soho Isolation Hospital several years
ago. Every effort had been made to
force the company to fulfill its con
tract, Mr. Evans stated, but without
avail. The county is still withhold
ing 5 per cent of the contract price.
Contracts for the other work on
the building W'ere awarded yesterday
at a total cost of about $117,000 should
the Storms contract finally be
awarded. If the award be made to
the second lowest bidder, John H.
Cooney, the cost of the building will
be $119,067. This figure does not in
clude the architect's fees of 5 per
cent., or $5,953.35.
Pop Gave It Up.
"Pop!"
"Yes, my son."
"Do you believe that history re
peats itself?"
“Yes, my boy.”
"Well, if it does, who is the other
man like Washington who never told
a lie?”—Yonkers Statesman.

Napoleon and the Balloon.
When Napoleon was a young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness
the ascent of a balloon in the Champs
de Mars. He entered, unperceived,
the inclosure which contained the bal
loon, which was then very nearly full
und about to ascend, and requested
the aeronaut to allow him to enter
the car. The request, however, was
refused, the reason given being that
the feelings of the boy might em
barrass the aeronaut.
“Though 1 am young, I fear neither
the powers of earth nor of the air!"
Bonaparte is reported to have ex
claimed.
On being requested to retire, the
little cadet, enraged at the refusal,
drew his sword and, slitting the bal
loon in several places, destroyed the
apparatus which had been construct
ed with infinite labor and ingenuity. !
Such was Napoleon’s first and last
attempt to ascend in a balloon.
