Chamber of Commerceais Told that Some Kind of a
Temporary Approach Will be Built on This
Side So that People Can Get on the Struc-
ture--The Part the Trolley Company Plays.
THE SITUATION AT PRESENT.

pected to get at least $50, 900 for the
franchise to cross the structure bv a
trolley company. Then the city of
Perth Amboy sold the franchise on
the north approach for $1,000, which
included the right of way to the mid
die of the draw. The freeholders thus
saw their $50, 900 go up in smoke and
decided that if Perth Amboy had the
right to the approach they could
built it.
A Mr.. Pfeiffer said the city was ready
to meet the freeholders on the matter
and that the whole question rested on
how much of the approach the free
holders would be willing to build.
The Woodbridge creek bridge matter
was drawn into the discussion where
it had been decided that bridge ap.
proach extende d for 300 feet on land.
The city wants the county to build
that far inland. The freeholders re-
ply that the city has seen fit to grant
franchise over that 300 feet. Then
it was stated that President McOarter,
of the Public Service, was ready tc
forfeit the franchise in the approach,
but he had certain conditions and also
still held the franchise on Sheridan
street.
0FIt was also pointed ont that since the
| fight began all competition in trolley
circles has been removed by the Pub
lie Service grabbing everything in
sight 1t seemed to be the opinion
that if the trolley company would gel
out of the way the Difficult y could be
Strengthened out more quickly.
| Mr.. Pfeiffer said that when Sheri
dan street was accepted it was witt
the agreement that the abuting pro
perty could not BIZ assessed. This
throws the whole burden on the city
at large and the city attorney has beer
unable to find law by which the
money to open Sheridan street ant
build the approach can be raised ex
oept through the usual channel of di
rect taxation. AS the cost will bt
about $24 900 the question is raised, il
this entire amount to be placed in the
tax budget all in one year or divided
in two or three years 1t means jus
that much increased tax on the people
of the city.
The meeting adjourned wiibou
any definite action being taken, but
is probable that another meeting q
the freeholders and city officials, to
gether with the trolley company, ma,
soon be called.

Mr.. Platt walked up to Policeman
Beatty and said it was he who had

That the new Raritan river bridge
will he completed SO that people can
at least walk across from this side to
South Amboy was stated definitely bv
Freeholder Glenn at the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
He said the engineer in charge OF the
work assured him tfat tho entire
structure, including the swinging OF
the draw. would he completed within
four weeks, but allowing for had
weather, or otner delays, six weeks
at the longest The freeholders then
propose, Mr.. Glenn said. to make
somo kind of connection between
the end of the bridge on this side,
and the land so that it can be used
and thus make it possible for the
county to accept the structure.
1t was special meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce at which this
matter was brought out. The local
freeholders and the members of the
Board of Aldermen had been invited
to come together TO discuss the bridge
Freeholders Glenn, Johansen, Jen-
sen and Kroeger were present and AL
derman at large Pfeiffer represented
the aldermen.
Mr.. Glenn; in further discussing
the matter, said that tho county
wanted to build ice breakers on the
bridge before winter. AS the county
had no money at the present, the only
way to raise it was to take advantage
of The emergency act which allowed
the freeholders to Issue bonds, bpt
this could not be taken advantage Vpi
unless the bridge had been accepted
| by the county and was in use. lr
order to cover this teohnicalityy OF the
law some kind of landing was tt
be made on this side so that people
could get ON the structure and thereby
use the bridge. Teams. also, nigh
BIZ able to get on the structure i
there was way for them TO get t
the water front. A man will be pu
in charge of the draw and, as far al
the freeholders are concerned, thu
new bridge will be in actual use be
fore winter.
The discussion then turned to thu
city doing its part and the matter wa
threshed out until 10 O'Clock.
In summing up the whole mattel
Mr.. Glenn said that it was the origin
