Dense Fog On the River
Made Vigilance Necessary
to Avert Disaster
TRUCK TRAFFIC IMpEDED
DRIVERS IN THE CITY HAD A
CHANCE TO PRACTICE THAT
PATIENCE WHICH IS SAID TO
BE A VIRTUE.

One of the densest fogs that the ferry
boat pilots have had to deal with in years
settled down on the North River last
night and did not lift until several hours
after daylight. Truck traffic was no.
merely congested, but was simply para
lyzeu. AS late as nine O'Clock this morn
ing the blockade of trucks laden with all
kinds of merchandise extended from the
Pennsylvania ferries up Exchange place
and Montgomery street, thence through
Washington street to Grand and for sew
eral blocks along that thoroughfare West
of Washington street. Green and Hud-
son streets We're blocked from Grand
street to Montgomery street. The early
morning boats had to merely grope their
way in darkness across the ferries and
thousands of passengers on their way to
work were belated. No accident. how
ever. occurred.
The policemen ON the posts where the
truck traffic was congested had their
hands full in keeping the truck drivers
in their proper lines. But it must be
said that the average driver appeared to
be possessed with the patience of Job.
For hours he was obliged to sit and wait
for the forward moving of his line. The
trucks We're lined on both sides of the
car tracks. Trucks coming from New
York followed the trolley cars moving
up Exchange place and Montgomery
street.
One has but to study these blockades
to grasp an idea of the manufacturing
and commercial interests of Jersey
City. The scene is usually worth wit
Messing. No commiesary and anmuni-
ton department of vast army moving
can compare with it. Almost every con
ceiyableakind of vehicle and teams is rep
resented. The oldAfashioned OK team
alone is missing. Many mammoth mer-
camille automobiles are found in the
group. Some of the trucks are loaded
with empty barrels and boxes in i'm
mense piles that stretched half way
across the streets. Others are similarly
loaded with crate, containing live chick
ems, ducks and turkeys. who poke their
heads through the stats and keep up an
incessant chorus in which the cackle of
the chickens, the quacking of the ducks
and the gobble- -gobble Of the turkeys are
inharmoniously blended. There are great
brewery trucks piled high with beer kegs,
great fEe-ton coal trucks, trucks in fact
laden with all kinds of merchandise. from
cement and asphalt to ice-cream. And
the owners of most of the merchandise
have contracts to deliver their goods at
specified hours.
