Margaret Mess, 822 High st- nas been charged with assault land battery by Sgt. Edward Don aher and Officer Louis Maio. The information was filed before AL derman Harold F. Stiles, who is- pending a hearing at the same before stUes on the breach of the peace complaint filed by Police Capt. John Stefanik.

Maio, who has been charged with assault and battery by Thomas Burian, 20-year-old son of Mrs. Niess, will be given a hearing tonight before Alderman Edward Warg, Bethlehem. The series of charges and counter charges stem from a row on Sheridan Field at Liberty High School Monday night, prior to a softball game between the Bethlehem Police team, captained by Maio, and the Nick's Wiener Shop nine. The disturbance was reportedly started when Burian heckled the cops, resulting in an altercation between Maio and the youth. The dispute was renewed later when Mrs.

Niess was said to have gone to the ball field seeking Maio. The assault and battery charges against Mrs. Niess arise from the efforts to police to subdue her, which first led to her being placed under arrest by Capt. Stefanik on the breach of peace complaint. by the woman.

Steel Co. to Supply Black Top Mayes could not say when the $13,285 project would be completed. The new black top material is scheduled to come from the Zethlehem Steel Co. He declared that the present steel strike will in all probability have an effect upon when the work can be finished. If the material does not arrive from Bethlehem Steel, Mayes said there is a possibility that he may ask an Allentown firm to supply the black top.

Workers will, how- ever, continue to remove the old section of road. He said that another reason for not being able to determine when the project can be completed re sults from the fact that it is not known to what etxent the con crete base needs repairs. This cannot be determined until the entire top grade is removed. Charles D. Remaly, assistant city engineer, said city officials are hoping that concrete replacement can be held to a minimum so that the job can be finished as soon as possible.

He said it is also hoped that the steel strike will be over by the time workers finish removing the old black top. If the strike is not over, he added, a new firm supplying black top will be contacted so that the project is not delayed too long.

A $45,207 lawsuit brought by Rafferty had been dismissed previously after trial testimony was heard showing contributory negligence.

Rafferty petitioned the court to remove the compulsory nonsuit, but Judge Woodring refused the petition. The suit was against Louis De John, Philadelphia, driver of a car which struck Rafferty while he was walking across Main street at Garrison in Bethlehem. Rafferty was hospitalized for more than a year after the accident. The court ruling was based on testimony of Rafferty and two other witnesses that he took two steps into the street during a rainstorm, then was struck by the car. Rafferty testified he looked both ways, but did not see the day the entire two-block stretch, was closed to traffic.

Remaly said that the sub-con- tractor is expected to have this work completed this week. Lav- men will also do any repair need- ied on the concrete base.
