Gilbert was ill Saturday and he retired at midnight still indisposed. Dr. Clinton H. Hawn, who had been attending Mr. Gilbert, was summoned, but Mr.

Gilbert was dead when he arrived. He leaves his wife and two brothers, Archibald Gilbert and the Rev. Charles Gilbert of New York. Born at Balnbrldge, Chenango county, March 10. 1867, Mr.

Gilbert waa a son of lion A. and Amelia Blxby Gilbert. He received his A. B. degree at Hamilton College In 18S9 and three years later was admitted to the bar.

Fight Looms Over School Council Is Split on Use of Stucco or Brick for St. John's Whether stucco or brick will be used In the construction of the new St.

John Avenue school may be one of the principal questions to come up for argument tonight at the meeting of the Common Council. Alderman J. Emery Kelly Introduced an ordinance several weeks ago asking for bids on the building, which it was contemplated building with a stucco finish. The ordinance went over after some discussion. Last Monday night Alderman Kelley was absent and a resolution was introduced by the Department of Education asking for an alternate bid on the building for brick construction.

This also went over as several aldermen argued that stucco was not wanted and that if the alternate bid was allowed by! vote or tne common council that the Board of Contract and Supply might at its own volition select either stucco or brick. The stucco would not be practical for school purposes, it was argued, and It Is likely that no further action will be taken unless an ordinance providing for brick construction of the building Is introduced. The Common Council will also vote on an ordinance permitting Charles W. Kress, commissioner of public works, to purchase 1,600 feet of 12-inch pipe in the open market. Important work in street construction may be delayed.

It was pointed out. if the purchase Is made In the ordinary manner by bids, which must be advertised for several weeks before purchase Is made. An ordinance has also been introduced and is awaiting action providing for the borrowing of $3,000 for painting the Ferry street bridge. This was Introduced at the request of Commissioner of Public Works Charles W. Kress.

Another matter to com before the Common Council is an ordinance Increasing the pay of election officers for the year 1928. The present pay Is $8 a day for registration days and $8 for primary and election days. The proposed increase Is $2 a day. An ordinance providing for the purchase of $13,480 in school equipment In the open market bv the Commissioner of Public Work will probably be withdrawn. Commln-sioner Kress said he objects to having the purchase of these supplies foieted upon his department and argues it in the work of the Department of Education.

An ordinance was introduced last Monday night through the suggestion of the Department of Education, which requested that the purchase be made in the open market so that the equipment could be Installed before school opened Sept. 12. The time is now patned when the equipment can be installed before the start of the school year, eo that the Department of Education has no further need for haste, it was declared. The Common Council will also vote on an ordinance to provide ornamental lighting In Stratford street from Riverside Driv to the Susquehanna river. SIMON I'ETEK VI It Kalurah Temple, A.
