MUST ABATE
NUISANCES.
Health Board Greatly DispIeaSed
that Their Notices Have
Been DiSOheyed.

While the board of health at the
special meeting last night did not dis
.cuss the matter, it is understood that
they are highly wrought up over the
way number of people have ignor-
ed the notices sent to them to have
certain nuisances abated, and most
likely at the next regular meeting
the matter will be taken up and some
action taken. If necessary the board
may decide to bring action against
certain people, just to see what they
can and cannot force them to do.
During the past few weeks the
board of health as body and each
commissioner as an individual have
been notified of certain places where
nuisances existed. They ordered the
clerk to notify the owners of these
places to attend to the matter at once
and the clerk had done so but in a
number of cases the notices were not
obeyed.
The new board has made up its
mind that things in this city are go
ing to be clean If they can have the
matter done. The summer will soon
be here and it is the idea of the board
to have things in proper shape for the
hot weather.

NEW WELL is
COMPLETED.
Will Remain for Ten Days While
the Cement on the Bottom
HardenS.

The new twenty-five foot suction
well at Runyon which is to be con-
nected with the ground storage sys-
TEN. has been finished and all that is
needed now is the "sandpapering
down" of the sides and bottom.
The work of building this well was
started some months ago by the Gil
max Construction Company, of New
York. The bottom of the well is of
concrete and cement about three feet
thick. At the present time the water
is not being pumped out more than Is
necessary to keep the well from flow
ing over, as the water on the bottom
will help harden the cement. Things
will be left for ten days, after which
the finishing touches will take place.

P.S. C. DROPS
The PRICE OF
ELECT RICITY.
Lighting Goes from is Cents to
II Cents Next Month Further
Reduction.

Announcement was made today in
letter received by w. A. Belcher.
local superintendent of the electric
lighting department of the Public
Service Corporation, that a twenty
per cent. reduction in prices will go
into effect June /, with further re-
ductions in the near future. The
rate, commencing on the first of next
month, will be IL cents per kilowatt
hour, a reduction of one-fifth being
made in the present rate of Is cents
kilowatt hour. The rate, accord
ing to the sliding scale announced,
will be cut another cent per kilowatt
hour January l, 1908, and another
cent January 1, 1910, when it will
thus be 10 cents per kilowatt hour.
1t cannot be stated officially but it
is understood that the rate may drop
to / / and then 10 cents per kilowatt
hour much sooner than stated in the
scale.
A query as to whether the city
would benefit in connection with the
street lights elected negativev re-
ply The price per year for each
light will drop, however, according
to agreement, as soon as few more
lights are installed about the city,
from $97. SO to sos.
The voluntary reduction from Is
to IL cents, with definite assurance
of a further cut in the near future,
is expected to reconcile to the Public
Service charges many of the mer-
chants, storekeepers, householders
and others, who have been complain
ing that the tariffs have been too high
for the light The p. S. c. officials
assert that the major part of the
kicks originated during the last pres
idential campaign, when electric light
users in the central part of town used
more light, it is declared, than usual.
and yet wondered why their light
bills were high.
The reduction in electric light pri-
ces follows close upon the recent cut
in prices by the Perth Amboy Gas
Light Company. The coming opera
tion of the Citizens Electric Light,
Heat & Power Company's plant, with
the promised low rates, will be still
further boon for the city's people.

going into the contracting business.
This is a turn-about of things, as

Last Might Many Radical
Changes Are Made.
MODELLED AFTER PLA|NFIELD.

At the special meeting of the
Board of Health last night in the
council chamber, President Main
submitted copies of the proposed
new health, sanitary and plumbing
codes for this city. The codes are
thoroughly up to date and will put
Perth Amboy on footing with other
cities. 1t is expected that if the
codes are carried out that an addi-
tional inspector, to be on duty all the
time, will have to be employed The
codes were read and passed on the
first reading.
From the first meeting which they
held the present health board has
shown a determination to do things.
The members have been dissatisfied
with the methods now in use, claim
ing they are so loose that little or
nothing can be done by either the
board or the inspector.
During the past month that the
different committees have been at
work on the code, they have fire.
quently met at the home of Presi-
dent Main in Market street, and
have looked over the codes of num-
erous other cities about the size of
this city, and the one submitted at
the meeting last night is similar to
the one in use in the city of Plain
field. Plaintield is one of the clean
est cities in the state. 1T has pop
ulation of $4,000, while this city has
about $4,000, yet last year Plainfield
spent over $1,000 alone for it's board
of health work.
The new codes were read by the
clerk, while each member was given
a copy by the president. All the
commissioners were pleased with the
codes for they cover everything that
can come within the law, and for
those who disobey penalty of any

The youngsters had started out to
see the world from freight car.
They came here yesterday afternoon
from Elizabeth. Lettering about the
freight station, they started to board
a returning freight train which was
just leaving about o'clock. Young

How Professor Smith Proposes
to Spend the S550,OOO Ap-
priated by the State.

State Entomologist J. b. Smith
has prepared a careful estimate Of
how he will spend the $350,000
which the legislature has appropriat-
ed to be devoted to ridding the state
of mosquitoes. The money will be
available in yearly installments of
$4,000.
He expects to spend $4,000 on the
marsh extending south from Roose-
welt to Perth Amboy and from the
Arthur Kill to Woodbridge, includ-
ing Port Reading, Sewaren, Maurer,
North Perth Amboy, and Woodbridge
to the Port Reading railroad. He
will spend a like amount on the
marsh lands between Elizabeth on
the north, Roosevelt on the south,
Arthur Kill on the east, and Linden
on the west.
The Raritan flats, extending from
the rivers mouth to the end of the
salt marsh, will receive $1,000 worth
of attention. II will take but $50 to
remedy conditions between South
Amboy and Morgan. For the stretch
between Morgan and Lawrence Har-
Dor it will require $2,500, and from
Lawrence Harbor to Cliffwood ST.
500.
DR.. Smith declares that 80 per
cent. of the mosquitoes breed in the
salt marshes along the coast line
hence he reasons that the mosquito
pest can be destroyed by cleaning out
the breeding places.
He estimates that it will cost
$3t5, 900 to abolish the marsh breed
ing places, and the remainder of the
appropriation he wants for admins
trative purposes and for the prosecu
ton of research into the phases oi
a question that have been only skim
med over up to this date.

Seeing Bosses Acting As Journey

ganize Firm and Go Into Bust
ness for Themselves.
JOURNEYMEN REPLY TO BOSSES

have made all of the concessions,
and that the journeymen have made
none. This statement we most en-
phatically deny, for as they, (the en-
ployers), are well aware, we had in
tended to ask for an increase of
wages of sixty cents per day, but be-
ing conservative body, and also
taking into consideration the fact
that the other trades in the building
business were asking for an increase,
it was deemed wise not to TAX for
anything that would have tendency
to strain the friendly relation exist
ing between the employers and the
journeymen. Accordingly, acting
along these lines, we reduced our
demand for an increase of sixty cents
per day to thirty-six cents, which In
crease we thought the employers
would grant without question, as we
had always given them credit for be-
ing fair-minded and just men, and
would appreciate the fact that
through consideration of their inter-
ests, we reduced our demand from
what we thought we were Justly en-
titled to as mechanics, from sixty
cents per day increase to thirty-six
cents per day. We had labored under
the delusion that the employers would
give us credit for what we had al
ready done in the matter previous to
placing the rate decided upon before
them. We were strengthened in this
opinion, particularly after our first
meeting with the committee of the
employers, who led us to believe that
they would grant the rate asked for.
We continued in this belief until
within two weeks before the new rate
was to go into effect, when our eyes
were opened TO the fact that our en-

TO ENFORCE RULE.
Trolley Cars Will Only Stop at
Crossings and Designated Places.

Because trolley motormen and con-
ductors in the employ of the Public
Service Corporation claim that they
cannot make time through this city,
as they are held up almost every half
or quarter block by passengers who
want to board cars, the trolley people
have decided to enforce from now on
the rule tina no car shall stop in the
middle of block, unless that block
is a long one. In long blocks signs
will be placed stating that trolley
cars stop here" and passengers will
have to wait at these points or at
crossings for cars.

where from SIS to $50 is attached.
The new health and sanitary code
takes in many ideas the old code new
er covered, such as splitting on the
sidewalks, the disinfecting of all
cars passing through this city, the
killing of cows. the licensing of scav-
engers, the connecting of all out
houses with sewers, and many other
things. The plumbing code covers
everything that Is needed to make
house, barn, stable or any building
proper place for man or cattle.
If the new codes are carried out 1t
is certain that an additional inspect
or will have to be employed. The
board seem to be in favor of this.
Plainfield has one. 1t is the inspect
or's duty to be at city hall for three
or four hours day and for the rest
of the day to be out looking up
places that are not obeying the law
1t is next to impossible for physi-
clan to do this work as he has many
other things to attend to.
At the next regular meeting of the
board the codes will be given the sec
ond and third readings A few ques-
tions in regard to things which it Is
understood the present inspector said
could not be enforced are to be asked
of the city attorney. 1t is understood
that the city attorney and the acting
mayor have seen copies of the new
codes and are well pleased with them
but the board wants to get the opin-
ion of the attorney to be sure Of the
right ground.
The meeting last night was called
to order at S:45 O'Clock and the read
ing of the new codes took up all Of
the time until about 10:45 o'clock.
