Their figures We're lower than Kelaher's
1t was decided to readvertise for bids on
the plumbing. 1t was also decided to re-

PASSAIC, May /, 1903 board of
engineers of the War Department, con-
sisting of Colonel Peter C. Hains, Col
Amos Stickney, and Major William L.
Marshall, with members of the Newark
Board of Trade, prominent tugboat cap
tains plying on the adjacent waters. and
members of the Merchants Association
of New York, left here shortly before
noon yesterday to make an inspection of
the amount of commerce on the Passaic
River, to look at the drawbridges over
the stream and to inquire into the num-
Der of trains crossing the bridges, with
a view to remedying the obstruction to
freight and passenger railroad trains
complained of by the Railroads and the
Merchants Association.
1t is claimed that the necessity of
opening the draws to let boats pass on
the Passaic and Haekensack Rivers
greatly delays trains. both freight and
passenger, and the railroad companies
as well as the Merchants Association,
wish to obviate this as much as possible
by keeping the draws closed between
the hours of 730 and $50 A. M. and
$50 and 7.30 p. NJ. This would allow
trains to pass over the draws during
the rush hours without having to be
held up because boats wish to pass.
But the Newark Board of Trade and
the tugboat men say it would ruin the
river traffic to keep the draws closed for
these hours, night and morning. Be
cause of the tide, they declare, those
are frequently the only hours when
boats can pass up and down.
A preliminary hearing on the matter
was given in the army building, New
York, yesterday, when it was decided by
the Board of Engineers to make the in
spection. The members of the War
Department left Jersey City at 1915,
reaching here shortly after II O'Clock. A
delegation from the Board of Trade met
them and escorted them to the tug Ella,
which was in waiting The trip down
the river was then begun.
The tug was in charge of Captain
G. NJ Garter, while Captain Norris Tay-
lor acted as pilot
The party assembled at the Stephens
Condit dock, where they boarded the
tug on the trip up. The members of the
party took record Of the time required
to open and close fthe various draw
bridges and the time of passing Of the
tug. This was to furnish material to off
set the statement made by the
Merchants Association that the average
time required to open and close the
bridges was eleven minutes. According
to the schedule, kept by Mr.. Reilly, the
Pennsylvania draw opened, let tug
through and closed in three minutes and
thirty-eight seconds. Some of the other
draws required but three minutes, and
the Centre street bridge over which
Pennsylvania trains pass, needed only

minute and forty-five seconds for the
whole operation. This information will
he presented to the War Department
to show that the delays caused by boats
passing through the draws was very
brief, and much less than that claimed
by the railroads and the Merchants AS
sociation.
