CONFERENCE
OVER BRIDGE.
FreehO|der Haney and ". A. BEL
cher Visit President of
Borough Of Manhatten.
SCHEME is APPROVED.

Freeholder George J. Haney and
w. A. Belcher, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, were in con-
ference with the president of the Bor-
ough of Manhattan, New York City,
yesterday, concerning the proposed
bridge over Staten Island sound, be-
tween this city and Tottenville. This
morning it was said they had received
much encouragement and that the
Tottenville side would begin taking
an active interest III pushing the pro-
ject.
The New York officials, it was said,
showed considerable interest in the
project and promised to take it up
with the proper officials in the near
future. In the meantime Mr.. Haney
and James M. Glenn will continue to
work for the idea on this side. Mr.
Haney's trip to Washington had good
results, it is said, and the war depart
ment is to take the matter up. 1t is
denied by those interested that this is
all dream. They declare the project
is not only possible, but 1t is now
very probable.

ORDINANCE
is PASSED.
Excise Board Can Now be Made
up of All One Party if
Voters Choose.
NAME FIVE EACH

The ordinance concerning the new
Excise Board was passed bv the alder
men last night. 1t was taken up on
second and final reading. Some dis
cussion took place as to what the out
come would be, but it was shown to
the satisfaction of all that the new
system would be legal
Formerly the Board of Excise was
elected, each political party nominal
ing three candidates. The five candi-
dates receiving the highest vote were
declared elected. This always left
three of one party and two of the
other in the board. Under the new
system just chosen, the parties will
name five candidates each and the five
highest will be elected, thus the board
can be made up entirely of one party.
In discussing the matter, Alderman
Cannon stated that this new system
had been declared constitutional in
Jersey City and he was certain 1t
would hold here. Alderman. at Large
Eckert also declared that the new
system would be legal.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY IS AFTER
A LOCAL FRANCHISE.
coTteet Electric Light and Power Company anxious Enter Perth
Am6o0rndnce Granting Franchise Pissed First Reading
--Streets in Winch Poles May be Erected Named and
Other Privileges Sought.

Perth Amboy may have cheaper
electric lights when the next contract
is given out. At the meeting of the
Board of Alderman, last night, an
ordinance was passed on first reading
granting franchise to the Carteret
Electric Light and Power Company
to enter this city. The ordinance will
be printed and is laid over until the
next meeting.
For some time the Carteret Com
pany has been working quietly in this
city in an effort to extend its line
here and their plans had been so far
advanced as to warrant the appiica-
tion for franchise being introduced
last night. Alderman Campbell was
absent, but all the other aldermen
voted in the affirmative on the first
reading. From what could be learned
after the meeting it is the opinion
that Perth Amboy is paying too much
for its lighting and that with the new
company in the field the price will be
greatly reduced. The Central Electric
Company has the monopoly in this
city, New Brunswick, Metuchen and
Railway. In Woodbridge and Carteret
alone, where the independent COM
pany is, is there any opposition. The
Carteret Company has the contract TO
light those two places. 1t is argued
that not only will the city at large be
benefited, but the merchants and all
who have electricity in their homes
will be able to demand better service
and cheaper rate.
The streets named in the ordinance
introduced last night are Smith,
Woodbridge road Washington, High,
State, Fayette, Front, MaKket and
New Brunswick avenue. 1t grants
permission to maintain underground
conduits, cables, wires and manholes
for electric conductors in the streets.
The ordinance was introduced by
Alderman Runyon. 1t is understood
that there are enough aldermen in
favor of the new company to pass it.

ANOTHER PETITION TO
IMPROVE RECTOR ST.
HAS BEEN PRESENTED.
Property Along Rector Street Between Market and Lewis
Streets Ask Biutic Macadam be Place the Thorough
are-Pon to Have Work Lay Over Until Spring But Have all
Connections Made to Different Mains.

A petition to pave Rector street
from Market to Lewis streets, was
read at the meeting of the Board of
Aldermen last night. 1t was signed
by Maria L. Fox and thirty four
others. 1t asks that the bltulithic
macadam be used from curb to curb,
that the sidewalks be increased in
width 1916 inches and that all prelim-
inaries be waived. 1t is thought there
will not be enough opposition develop
to kill the Improvement.
According to the plan, now laid
down, it is intended ito have the work
started the tlrst thing next spring. In
the meantime the property owners are
to be notified to make all necessary
taps in the water and gas mains and
sewer pipe 1t is the intention to get
this work done this fall so as to give
the trenches all winter to settle.
This is the latest of several petitions
gfor the paving of Rector street which
have been presented to the aldermen.
The first was to have the street i'm
proved from Smith to Lewis streets
and use the wooden block. This petit
tion was killed by remonstrance
which was numerously signed, the
property owners ON the block between
Market and Smith streets being almost
solid against it. The present petition
has left out this block where there
was so much opposition and in this
way it is believed they have major
itv of the property owners.
