CITY PLEDGED.
FreehOIders Declare that it is
Down in Black and White Over
the City's Seal that Perth
AmbOy viii Build the Ap-
prOach on the North
Side Of the River.

The actual inspections of the br idge
yesterday did not amount 10 nearly as
much as was at first intended because
of the fact that it was found that the
final inspection would not be until
about December Is. The board will
now wait for developments from their
conference, through the committee OF
six, with the Board of Aldermen at
tomorrow nights committee meeting.
T, At this time the committee Of the six
local members will point out all the
facts in the situation as far as they
bear on the question cf the approacl.
on this side of the bridge. The free
h6lders claim that the former council,
two years age, pledged ti5e-raif f''-s-' :
build the approach.
When asked about that question
Director Asbury Fountain said: 1--WE
held the idea that the city is in honor
bound to build the approach. but I do
not, for q moment, doubt that the
city would build the approach we're
the money at hand. We will talk this
matter over with the Board of Alder
men, some of whom, we feel, should
have accedad to our invitation to in
speot the site Of the Perth Amboy
approach with us.
The board will then get an affidavit
from County Engineer Robert Dough
erty, that the bridge is complete, and
will then approve the bridge. 1t will
then be forwarded to the War depart
ment for approval. After this ac-
ceptance the bridge should be off OF
the hands Of the board.
All of this action should be con.
cluded by December 15, or shortly
after.
Contractor Sanford, of Sanford q
Harris, of Jersey City. who are build
ing the bridge, was thoroughly satis'
fed with what was seen yesterday
afternoon. "It will not be long
now." he asid, before we will be
throu ugh.
