GO. WANTS CONDUITS'
Appeared at Committee Meeting
Of the Aldermen Last Might
With Request.
NAME ALL THE STREETS
Representative Declares that
the Granting Of Franchise
Would Make Model CITY.

Application for permission to lay
conduits underground on considera-
bly, more than one hundred OF this
city's streets was laid before the
Board of Aldermen at the committee
session last night by the New York
&c New Jersey Telephone Company
and will be presented in regular form
at the meeting on June A he COM
pany desires consent for twenty years
and the streets named in the petit
tion include, practically, all of those
not now paved or containing condu-
its. In the case of paved streets, the
wires are to be laid in conduits in
cross streets, and to be run into
houses on the paved streets over pri-
vate right of way, through yards, on
poles. In regard to streets which are
now paved throughout part of their
length 1t is intended to lay conduits
in the parts not paved. The com-
pany, if the application be granted,
might lay conduits in but few of the
thoroughfares included in the peti-
tion at once, and do it gradually.
Special Agent Ridsley, of the N. Y.
& N. ]. Telephone Company, was
present last night and said that the
granting of this application would ul-
timately result in making Perth Am
boy model city insofar as telephone
lines are concerned, as the laying OF
conduits would render poles above
ground unnecessary, except for the
distribution of electrical conductors
from the conduits in which would be
laid wires, cables and conductors.
A new law requires that such APP
plications must be filed with the city
clerk and notice given prior to the
consideration of the matter by the
council, which has been done in this
matter.
