Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-05-02

At the meeting of the Board of
Health last night in the council
chamber, President Victor Main no
titled the board that he had received
notice through the police regarding
the way garbage was dumped into
big boxes in front of the property of
T. Diamond, at Broad and Division
streets, and allowed to remain so
long that a number of residents of
those streets, who were sick, thought
that this was the cause.
President Main said that the boxes
were big wooden affairs that had been
built to remain in the sidewalk all of
the time, that the garbage was
thrown into them from all direc-
tions and that sometimes it did not
all go into the box. The garbage has
to be shoveled from the boxes into
wagons and in every case it fell on
the sidewalk or street, especially
when the wind was blowing, and that
the sooner the matter was taken up
the better it would be. Inspector
Ramsay thought that 1t was up to
the street commissioner because of
the size of the boxes, but President
Main said he was of the opinion that
the health board should act in the
matter. The inspector was instruc-
ted to look into the matter and the
beard will also watch the case.
A .etter signed by Alfred Sandorf,
Mrs. L. Dolan and others was receiv-
ed by the board. 1t complained OF
pig pen in Mcclellan street, and
asked that the board take sc,ne ac-
tiun to have this nuisance moved
from within the city limits. Inspect
or Ramsay Vas notified to attend to
the matter at once. With President
Main the inspector will visit the
place tomorrow morning and they
will then make known the result OF
the investigation.
A bill was received from James
f. OBrien, constable. 1t seems that
recently O'Brien had made the rounds
at O'Clock in the morning with an
inspector of milk from the state lab
oratory and the bill was for his ex-
penses. Inspector Ramsay explained
to the board that it was the custom
of the state inspector to come here or
to other cities every once in a while
and that he always chooses "a local
man to go with him, so that when he

HAD AN |NGOT
IN DINNER CAN
at Copper Works Arrest
ed As He Was Leaving the
Place Last Night.

John Novak, forty-six years old,
of 70 Elizabeth street, an employe of
the Raritan Copper Works, was
caught leaving the yard at closing
time, o'clock yesterday afternoon,
with a ten pound copper ingot in his
dinner can. He was placed under
arrest by Special Officer Campbell
and was lodged at police headquar-
ters. This morning he was placed
under 5000 bail for his appearance
before the September grand jury on
a charge of petit larceny.
He pleaded this morning that he
was the victim of joke and that a
fellow workman had put the ingot in
his dinner can and he thought it was
a brick as that had occurred before.
A man behind him in the line kicked
the dinner can in joke and atten-
tion was thus directed to the contents
of the can The ingot is valued at
about 81 so. Bail was furnished for

Regarding the agitation for Y.
M. G. A. in this city, the following
letters are of interest. The first is
from J. p Holm, and the second was
Mendenhall, formerly pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, and who
was the organizer of the Westmin-
ster Cadets. DR.. Mendenhall's com
munication is regarding Mr.. Holm's
letter to give 500 toward a home
for the Westminster Cadets. The Y.

about the same as it has some others
of this city Here is 5000 promised
toward the movement. 1t would
seem as if the time was nearly ripe
to take hold and push the matter
through.
The letters follow;

WILL GIVE UP
STAMPS MAY 5
Dry Goods Merchants, at Meet
ing Last Night, Decided
Upon Taking Step.

Nearly every dry goods and cloth
ing merchant in this city, who has
been handling stamps, attended the
meeting of the merchants held at the
home of Hyman Wedeen, Smith
street, last night and, after discussing
the matter from all points of view,
they voted to discontinue giving
stamps in Perth Amboy after Satur-
day night, May 5.
The meeting was called to order
by Hyman Wedeen, who had been
elected chairman of the special COM
mittee and Harry Mendal, the secre-
tary reported that the committee had
met with great success everywhere.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter this morning members of the
committee said that they had looked
into the matter carefully and that it
was only after deep consideration
that it was for the best, that they
decided to do away with the stamps.
Many of the merchants spoke at the
meeting last night and they all seem
ed positive that many other mer-
cnanlS vi lnlS Guy, IN otner llHeS,
would follow the example and do
away with the stamps, as told in the
NEWS yesterday, number of shoe
dealers had given up the stamps, also
the butchers.
The stamp people are redeeming
all books that come in and from what
they say they are here to stay. They
declare that some of the merchants
will always give stamps and that they
are not afraid of the results.

HEAL TIL BOARD TALKS
ABOUT THE GARBAGE.
State Inspector Has Been in This
City Examining Milk Being Served
--Other Health Matters.

took samples of milk that he would
have witness in case the milk did
not come up to the standard, and that
OBrien had been the man from this
city for some years. The bill was or
dered paid.
Each member of the board stated
that he had received many COM
plants and that in looking into them
had been able to attend to a number
of them. A letter was received saying
that the matter of pool of water at
State and Chauncey streets would be
attended to at once.
President Main reported that the
work of getting the new code in or
der evolved a great deal more work
than the committee had any idea that
it would, and that while they were
making progress with 1t, the code had
not as yet been completed. The com
mittee was invited to meet at the
home of President Main, SO Market
street, tonight to talk the matter over
and to attend to number OF things
in regard to this matter.
The report of the inspector for the
month was as follows: Diphtheria,
nine; measles, eight; scarlet fever,
one; complaints, twenty-five; abat-
ed sixteen. Because of the great
work in making up the new rules
and regulations of the board, the
committee did not report last night,
but special meeting will be held two
weeks from last night, when 1t is
expected it will be in shape.
Before the meeting was called to
order the members discussed in an
informal way the present system lin-
der which garbage was collected. 1t
seems that complaint has been re-
ceived from several quarters regard
ing the way refuse is allowed to ac-
cumulate The clerk reported that
under the ordinance the contractor
should remove the garbage from each
street four times week between
April and September, and three times
a week during the rest of the months.
At the present time and for years the
contractor has taken the garbage
away only twice week, and in some
cases only once a week. The board
will look into the matter and then
they will take action to have the gar
bage removed as many days in the
week as the law requires.

Many of the carpenters and join
ers, plumbers and timers, who as
told in yesterdays NEWS, went out
on strike because of the disagree
ment over a wage scale, which was to
have gone into effect yesterday NOR
ming at o'clock, have received Of
fers of work from Elizabeth, Rah-
way and Staten Island. and this NOR
ming they started in at those places.
The bosses still claim that they Will
not give in and the mechanics say
tnat they are more determined than
ever to hold out.
Meetings of the three trades were
held yesterday and the carpenters
and joiners agreed that If they are
to return to work in this city the wa
ges must now be forty-five cents an
hour instead of forty-two, which they
at first asked. 1t is said that they
notified the bosses that this would
be the result if they were compelled
to go out on a strike to win.
1t is the entention of the men out
on strike not to make any trouble,
but to go away from this city to
nearby towns and work, and when
the bosses are ready to give in, II the
mechanics see fit, they will return.
The only mechanics, they declare,
that will be left in town in a few
days will be those men who are on
the strike committee and others who
are acting as pickets.
Work on nearly all of the build
ings is at standstill for the masons
have gone as far as they can and
with no carpenters to do the frame
work things are tied up. Electricians.
painters and other trades have also
been compelled to lay off because
of the tie-up and they all declare that
as work in hundreds of other towns
is very brisk they win not remain
here very long as they cannot afford
to remain idle and that this city and
not the mechanics will feel the result.
A meetingHof the bosses whose
men are out may be held tonight to
see what can be done in regard to
bringing the trouble to an end. The
bosses still hope for the best and
think that the battle will not last
long.
Because of the great amount OF
work that the Grouse Construction
Company has at the Raritan Copper
Works and from the fact that the
new buildings at that plant must not
be delayed, that firm has agreed 70
the demands of the employees at the
copper works plant.

Of the 410 members of the Employ-
ers' Association, 1856, the strikers

was said, had signed a pledge not TO

These signers represent the largest

The carpenters in the borough OF
Queens struck on April / for an ad-
vance in wages from SO so to "a
