WANTS A FRANCHISE TO BRIDGE
APPROACH ON THE SOUTH SHORE.
Jersey Central Traction COMPANY
Makes Application to SayreviIIe
Township Committee.
TO THIS CITY.
specia, to the EVENING NEWS:


NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. IT,
The Central Jersey Traction Com
pany has made application to the
township of Sayreville for franchise
for trolley line over the roads lead
ing to the Amboy bridge. The com
mittee will give the company a pub
lie hearing at August Rhodes hotel
at Sayreville, December 6.
The application reads for the right
of way on Ridgeway avenue, from
the borough line of South Amboy to
Bridge street and along Bridge street
to the Raritan river.
This covers the approach to the
bridge and it is evidently the inten-
tion of the company to ask for A.
franchise across the Amboy bridge
to Perth Amboy.
The company now has an appllca-
tion before the borough council of
South Amboy to cross that borough
and connect its line, which is now In
operation to Keyport and Red Bank,
with the proposed route through
Sayreville township.
With the approach to the bridge
of this company the old fight of the
Raritan Traction Company franchise
on Sheridan street. This franchise
is now owned by the Public Service
Corporation, but the whole matter is
so involved in the courts that it may
be some time before it is settled.

ICSSHAKEUP
AT STANDARD
Developments in Terra Gotta
Situation Mr.. BOIlSChWeiIer
Denies Trust is at Work.
PLANT NOT YET DISPOSED OF.
Several High Men in Company Re-
signed and Others Discharged in
Midst of General Shake-Up-Ne-
gotiations Are Under Way for Ac-
ton by Big Combine and Definite
Results Are Anticipated Shortly.

That the terra Gotta trust is at
work in this city is concluded by
many to be the reason for the laying
off of number of the employees of
the Standard Terra Gotta works.
Superintendent Albert Bollschwell-
er, when seen by a NEWS reporter to-
day said:
Il emphatically deny that the plant
has been sold to the trust, although
| will admit that the matter is hang
ing fire. At the present time it is a
fight among the big fellows to see
who will be in control, and the matter
may develop on the first of the year.
John Parr and Abel Hanson have
resigned, but E. c. Richmond, Paul
WoitscheckI and Peter Glauss were
discharged"
Why were they dischargedo"
asked the NEWS man, did the trust
have hand in the matter?"
THE trust had nothing to do with
it at all,' said the superintendent
with a smile, ''it was simply a general
house cleaning, and their places have
already been flied. You know our
work is slack at the present time, and
we naturally want to cut down the
expenses for the winter"
Mr.. Bollschweiler said further that
as yet the trust has had nothing to do
with the local plant.

FOR
NEXT SESSION
Democrats Likely TO Use House
Majority TO Make Campaign
Material for Next Year.
BISHOPS BILL is A QUESTION.
from Cities i'm Northern
Part of the State Think They Were
Elected by Saloon Vote-Not Like
ly That the Measure Will BE Re-
pealed Although 1t May BE Chang
ed-Other Measures i'm View.

TRENTON, Nov. Speculation
is already rife throughout the state
as to what the democratic house of
assembly will attempt to do in the
legislature this winter. 1t has been
ten years since the democrats have
had effective voice in the making of
laws in New Jersey, and there is con-
siderable interest and curiosity in
the outcome of the ensuing session
The people in general are especial
ly interested in the fate of the bish-
ops bill, the measure passed last
winter for the better regulation of the
liquor traffic, the elimination of the
back and side rooms and the closing
of the saloons on Sundays. 1t is
known that many of the democratic
members of the legislature, particu-
larly those from the larger cities in
the northern part of the state, feel
that they were elected by the saloon
element and that they are expected to
bring about tn repeal or, at least, the
radical modification of this excise
measure. 1t is expected that they
will make some move against the law
very early in the session.
On the other hand, the church and
temperance people of the state are up
in arms in the support of the measure
and will use every possible effort to
keep it on the statute books.
1t is not believed that the demo-
Gratis will be able to bring about re-
peal of the bishops law as an entire
ty, but it will take some mighty hard
fighting to keep them from forcing
through some amendments that will
shear it of much of its power and
worth.
Among other moves which the dem-
ocrats are expected to make is for
the repeal of the voting machine law
The state has spent several hundred
thousand dollars for these machines
cincts equipped in this way. There
has been much complaint, however
concerning the use of the machines
the voters claiming that they are too
complicated to be used readily anf
that in some instances the return!
have been incorrectly Tailed.
The democrats will doubtless take
advantage this winter of the oppor
tunity to introduce bills for the pur
pose of making campaign capital fol
next years gubernatorial contest
Taken altogether, the session prom
ises to be one of the longest and mos
spectacular in the history of the

Letter to J. VI. NOrNGRLOOD.
WaXahachie. Texas.

Dear Sir. Here's a tail with a
point to it. Florida is the hardest
in the union to paint.
Gilmore q Davis Co, Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint
can do in their climate, they've been
painting for 35 years, Devoe ten
years; and they say Devoe wear 10
years-their words are. Buildings
we painted Deyoe 10 years ago are in
good condition of paint today"
They also say lead-and-oil wears
only one year there; Devoe 10 years.
Ten years is a long lifetime for
paint in Florida; longer than 20 in
Maine. We don't dare say that either
is true as n general fact in those
states, but there are such instances.
If we should call The cost of Dcyoe
i'm Florida half OF the usual cost of
paint, 10 would be too much, We sup
pose it's about oue-third there is so
much trash therc-thc cOsrliest paint
is the worst, and the worst is The
costliest everywhere. Yours truly,
