Subsequently these two docks were
enlarged. The storage ground was
completed, consisting of three hundred
and sevent-three bins with a capacity
of 100000 tons where the surplus
coal is stored and held for reshipment.
The upper yard of the Lehigh Val
ley is located above New Brunswick
avenue and extends to Eagleswood
1t consists of a network of fifteen
tracks where the trains, loaded with
coal, come in from the main line and
are distributed to the proper tracks in
the lower yard for storage or imme-
diate shipment. The cars come. il
loaded with coal from several differ
ent mines and each train of cars that
arrives carries several different sizes
of coal. The work in the upper yard
is therefore very complicated. The
track must be kept clear SO as not tc
block, the entrance of any incoming
shipments and in some way the cars
must be switched and uncoupled SC
that all the cars bearing the same size
are placed Oh a separate track ready
to be sent to the lower yard as orders
from the general Office require.
At the lower yard which extend.
from New Brunswick avenue crossing
to tidewater, cars are weighed an(
unloaded and run on a track for empt'
cars where they are gathered up by al
engine and taken to the lower yard

a factory, kept by a man named
Andrews, where mail locks and vari-
Gus other articles were turned out, the
product changing every few years,
was started in High street, a short
distance south of Smith, on the eastern
side Of the street. This factory also
had a branch, larger than the original,
which occupied the old Barracks.
Here butter-tubs were made and the
various inventions of the proprietor,
Andrews, we're turned out.
The most noted example of these
inventions was a flying machine, the
history of which is very interesting.
1t was built on the common principle
of cigar-shaped balloons, of which
there we're two. On the day on which
the first trial trip was to be made, a
great crowd gathered on the broad
field near the barracks. The huge
affair was attached to two ropes and
thus it made the ascension, with An
drews and an assistant on board.
They went a short distance and came
down safely, and then the machine
was let go itself. 1t went up, scared
about for some time and then, being

the temporary quarters of the Perth
Amboy Trust Company. The street
was named for Mr.. King. The fac
tory was started or a rather small
scale, but gradually grew until it
occupied several buildings and EN-
ployed over one hundred hands.
The large lot, opposite the real OF
School No. 1, was used for storing
cork and at times was nearly full.
Mr.. King maintained a store in New
York to which the cork was sent from
here. Mr.. King secured a patent on
a machine by means of which II
man could do the work Of ten. He
also patented two or three other in
ventions for cork manufacture.
While all these early industries
had their effect upon the city and gave
employment to the men residing here,
the place may be considered TO have
been asleep, Development went on
slowly, but it counted for little. Wash.
