William Armbruster sent in a letter in
reply to the attack made upon him by
President Reuben Simpson. who accused
him Of having killed the proposed Pam
rapo outlet sewer scheme. In his letter
Mr. Armbruster said
Il doubt if any one who favored the
improvement knew cf the nature of ex-
tending Gates avenue through from Gar
field avenue to the Morris Canal. Your
President said / killed the Pamrapo out
let sewer scheme. If this is 50, Mr..
Simpson helped to kill it as much as any
one else. He kicked before the Street
and Water Board and had the improve
ment stopped" Afr. Armbruster closed
his communication with the classical ak
/. iom. consistency thou art jewel"
Mr.. Simpson said:-'I did say he kill
ed the Seaview avenue improvement.
We had to change our plans because Mr..
Armbruster opposed them"
Former Secretary German complained
of the soft coal nuisance ased by those
in charge Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
locomotives and the works Of the Stand
ard Oil Company. Frederick Schultz
moved that a communication be sent to
the Board of Health on the subject. The
motion was carried.
The secretary of the association was
instructed TO write to local manufactur-
ers and ask them if they want local
freight station on the Central Railroad,
and if so, where they would desire it to
be located. The secretary was also in
structed to send a communication to the
pffice of the Public Service Corporation
and ask it to repair the bridge-stone
crossings where It has been obliged to
lear them up in repairing or laying
racks
Alderman Walter German, former
secretary Of the association, said: ''sIr.
Armbruster is correct in saying that
Gates avenue is not yet ripe for improve
nent or extension. Had | known what
know now | should not have sanctioned
fhe extension of that avenue beyond the
Boulevard.
Mr.. Simpson said: II asked for the
Improvement of Gates avenue from Gar
leld avenue to the Boulevard but the
proposition was put up to the Street and
Water Board in such way that the ex-
ension called for meant rest Of the
Boulevard.
Henry Beitner, who at the lest meet
hg accused Mr.. AInbrusber of standing
the way of the improvement, still held
lis position.
Alderman German suggested that
fter the completion OF Neptune, Seaview
nd Winfield avenue sewers and the
boulevard that petition be sent to the
loard FOR sewer at south end of Green
He. Then" he said, Il think Mr.
rmbruster will favor it. The reason he
id not favor it before was because "a
leel pipe sewer was demanded, and, in
Is opinion, that was too expensive
The macadam roads committee report
that the contract for repairs had been
led May 2 and that work would be be-
an at an early date.
Henry A. Holmes, a member of the
Dmmittee, said:--
