HANDLE $4,000 DAILY.
Making Preparations for big Business
Will Ship to Chicago to Supply the
West-0ne of the Largest Companies in
the Country Has Capacity at Head
quarters of 100000 Oysters Daily.

Preparations are being made by the
Booth Company to start their oyster
business here. As. was told in the
News some time ago, this concern is
one of the largest dealers in oysters
in the country The building at the
foot of Smith street, formerly occu-
pied by Mr.. Boyle, has been leased
and improvements are being made.
Within a few weeks, 1t is expected,
they will be ready to start business.
The Booth company has houses in
all the oyster centers. They began
business at Baltimore. Headquarters
are now in Chicago where most of the
oysters bought in the east, are shipped
and from there distributed throughout
the western states. In conversation
with the superintendent, who is to
have charge of the local house, it was
learned that they will be in shape
here to handle $4,000 oysters daily.
These, it is expected, will be supplied
by the oystermen in these waters.
This will make a market not only for
Perth Amboy, but for Tottenville,
South Amboy and Keyport oystermen
as we'll. A force of men will be kept
busy opening the bivalves and already
a carload of tubs have been brought
here in which to pack the oysters for
shipment direct to Chicago. At the
central house in that citv they are
capable of handling 30O,0O0 oysters
daily. It is announced that if the
Raritan bay oysters are good and can
be secured in large quantities, the
capacity of the local house will be
increased.

though it was reported this morning
that two property owners who had

of securing the improvement, said
that he and his fellow workers were
not at all disconnected by the circula-
tion of the remonstrance. for more
than half of the allotted twenty DAYS
have elapsed, and from all reports,
but small percentage has been Sc
cured of the seventy y-elght signers
necessary to defeat the pavement.
Anent the paving, Mr.. Jacob Gold
berger has been before the officials OF
the Staten Island Rapid Transit with
the first petition seeking the ferry at
the foot of Washington street, and a
response is expected In few days. A
second petition, similar to the first,
is being circulated through the city,
for, Mr.. Goldberger declares it is not
the residents and property owners on
Washington street alone who want
the ferry at the foot of that thorough
fare, but people throughout the city
as well.
