TAXPAYER" DISCUSSES THE
POLICE QUESTION SHOWING
UP SOME CITY HALL METHODS


to get the nominations confirmed, but the
big -Four" tabled the motion as they
had the previous one, and the Mayor still
refused TO obey their commands.
The. manner in which the Democrats
caught the sBig Four mapping is recent
history. As far as can see all Alderman
Schultz haste do Is to second any motion
or resolution that Alderman Stacey
chooses to make, but he was absent on
that eventfnl night, so was Mr.. Smith
and by a vote of a majority of those
present, the nominations of the Mayor
were confirmed. OF course the "Big
Four was hot. They had been beaten
at their game. They set about to get
square and the result, was shown at the
meeting Monday night, when, the "Big
Four" being once more present, the three
men were dropped from the force.
AS far as / have been able to learn
neither Mr.. Stacey, Pfeiffer, Smith or
Schultz know of anything against the
three policemen named, only Smith's..man
was not named. AS you have already
pointed out the city's interests seem to
go to the dogs as far as the "Big Four''
care as long as their personal aims are
not accomplished. l would like to ask
how a city can prosper with such a feel
ing existing between the officials. In
stead of getting together and seeing how
much they can accom- plish for the city,
they fight and wrangle among themselves.
! say put the whole bnnch out and elect
some men wo are really anxious to see
Perth Amboy go ahead. This is only one
deal that / have heard of. If / see that
your are independent enough to publish
this may write another letter ON some
Of the other doings in the city hall.

ROCHESTER,, n. ", Aug. 25.-Fully
thirty-five persons have been injured
in a trolley wreck on the Rochester

though no one was fatally hurt. About
a dozen people suffered fractured limbs
or were seriously bruised. and the re-

of which were caused by broken glass.
A train of two cars bound from Can
andaigua to Rochester collidcd with 4
single car running east. The former
was late and, according to the state
mcnt of officers of the company, ran
past the siding where 1t was to have
met the car from Rochester. 1t was
exactly similar in that respect to the
accident at Manitou Beach a short
time ago. The trains met on a sharp
curve. A lineman in the employ of the
road was at work near the scene of the
accident and saw the two trains APP
preaching it. IIe tagged the e~astbound
train. and it had nearly stopped when
struck by the other train, which was
running at a good speed. All three of
the ears were full Of passengers.
