BILLS NOT YET
DISPOSED OF.
Governor Stokes Taking His Time
TO Consider Bulk of Measures
the Legislature Left. /

TRENTON, June 12.--Some fifty
bills passed blythe last Legislature are
still in the hands of Governor Stokes,
awaiting consideration, notwith-
standing all the-time he has put in
on such work since the final adjourn
ment of the legislature. The gover-
nor is going slowly with this work in
order that he may give each bill the
attention it deserves and it Will prob
ably be several weeks before he has
completed the task.
Some of the bills yet to be consid-
cred are important, notably the bill
of A~ssemblyman Jones, of Camden,
permitting that city to construct an
electric light plant. This bills i'm
portance is due to the fact that it is
general in character and could be
taken advantage of by any other city
as well as Camden.
The following is a complete list of
the bills still in the governors hands:
Assembly-No. Z, repeats Hillery
tax rate act, the law sought
to be repealed by this bill was infer
entially repealed by the new Hillery
act, recently signed by the governor;
20, relating to salaries of city Off
Gals; II, provides for the completion
of the Raritan river bridge at South
Amboy; 70, authorizes towns to pur-
chase electric light plants.

A STRONG" POINT.

This mornings mail brought the
following letter from South Amboy.
1t has a Strong point, indeed. Read
it and think it over:
Editor EVENING NEWS:
Have been reading your article on
Boss Keeps Amboy Bridge Closed"
Don't you miss n Strong point
in the same connection? Just for a
pointer" for your information,
work 1t up as you please:
Would not the opening of the
bridge create a howl at once at the
impossible condition of the Hole in
the Wall?" Would it not compel the
P. r. R. to open up a county road,
now almost impossible? Is not Alan
Strong counsel for the P. R. r.?
Is he not the same for the Board of
Freeholders? Is he not, with the
board, working the whole business
to help and save the p. r. r.? Is
the Hole in the Wall to remain.

bridge closed in order to save and

Strong, Boss Strong's brother, is
counsel for the Board of Freeholders
and counsel for the Pennsylvania rail
road. Every attempt made by the
county to have the Hole in the
Wall improved has been opposed by
the P. r. r. The Hole in the WALL >
for those who do not know, is a pass
age under the Pennsylvania tracks
through which all traffic must pass
in getting from the bridge to South
Amboy. This passage is a dark, mar
row tunnel, in which two wagons
cannot pass.
With the bridge open the demand
for a remedy would be so strenuous
that something would have to be
done. But-BOSS STRONG'S BRO
THEIR is COUNSEL FOR THE
FREEHOLDERS AND COUNSEL
FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL-
ROAD.
Think it over, and then ask your
self how you like a boss running
things for you.

lieutenants were the leaders in thai
board, although it was democratic,
and he wants to protect them and
thereby protect his machine.
Some of the transactions connect
ed with that bridge are questionable,
to say the least. There is evidence
that the bridge is not built accord
ing to contract. The structure is lit
tie more than a string of piling ex-
tending from shore to shore, YET
ABOUT 5000, 900 HAS BEEN SPENT
FOR 1T. That the bridge should cost
all this is incredible.
More than this, the freeholders
want to build three steel spans. The
amount they propose to pay for these,
experts say, would build six spans.
But what is all this money used
for, If not for the actual cost of the
bridge? That is just what the tax
payers ought to know and that is
what they will know if a thorough
investigation should be ordered. But
if this bill becomes a law, making
legal all the transactions in which
this enormous sum of money was
spent, investigation might do little
good.
THOSE WHO MADE THESE
DEALS WOULD THEREBY BE
PROTECTED. BOSS STRONG'S
MACHINE MEN HAD A BIG SHARE
IN MAKING THESE DEALS, CON-
SEQUENTLY BOSS STRONG
WANTS THE DEALS KEPT HID
DEN FROM THE PUBLIC.
In other words, the present Board
of Freeholders is made TO suffer for
the acts of the old board. The MEM
bers of the present board are made TO
do the dirty work of the boss in pro-
tecting his lieutenants.
The best legal advice has declal ed
that the freeholders could open the
bridge if they wanted to. They won't
because their attorney says not to,
and their attorney is the boss broth
er. IT'S ALL IN THE RING.
How do you like ring rule, citi-
zens? Does it suit your American
spirit to be treated by a single mar in
this manner?

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT7

How long are the taxpayers o
Middlesex county going to allow Boss
Dory Strong to handle their affairs fol
them? This is a question for every
citizen of the county to answer fol
himself?
1t is plainly evident that the Rari-
tan river bridge is being used by
Boss Strong to advance the interests
of his machine. The people must
wait until "Dory" gets ready to move
What do you think about it? You,
the taxpayers of Middlesex county,
whose THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
ARE TIED UP in a bridge across the
Raritan river which cannot be used
because ONE MAN, Boss Strong,
wants to gain his point first. THE
PEOPLES INTERESTS ARE SEC

The workings of the machine are
clear to all. The freeholders say
they must do as their attorney says.
Their attorney is Boss Strong's bro
Their. He has charge of the legal end
of this matter.

then, citizens, where do you find
yourselves?
You find your own servants, the
freeholders, whom you elected to

instead. These men are drawing an
