little expense for hauling pianos,

mo TUNNEL FOR
N. N.AMBOYS

City Engineer Forrest l.. Smith went
to Jersey City, yesterday, to confer with
Chief Engineer Osgood, of the Central
RAILROAD Company of New jersey, in
regard to the North Amboy sewer mat
ter.
The various methods of extending
the sewer under the company's tracks
in North Amboy were discussed 1t
was decided not to tunnel under the
tracks, as neither the railroad company
nor Contractor Johan Jensen would pay
for the work. When Mr.. Jensen was
awarded the contract for the work. il
was stated that the railroad company
would tunnel under the tracks. This
the company now refuses to do. as
their repair gangs are overworked get
ting the tracks in snaps before cold
weather arrives.
The only manner in which the work
remains to be done will be to drive
piles and excavate q ditch through the
company's property. While this work
is in operation switches will be laid
and trains run on one side of the work
A regular track derrick will be used to
drive the piles. which will be furnished
by the railroad company. AS several
OF their pile drivers are tied up for re-
pairs and one is doing work at Bound
Brook, 1t will take from three weeks
to a month before this work can be
started. This, however. Will not delay
the work of the sewer, as men are
working west of the tracks. The ex-
pense of piling will, probably, be
charged up to the city as extra work.

SOUTH AMBOY. Oct. 16:-The
address by Rev. ]. r. Mason, candi-
date for governor on the prohibition
ticket was listened to with rapt at
tention last night. Quite surprise
was manifested among the local pro-
hibitionists at the large number who

marks.
Mr.. Mason prefaced his speech by
stating that he was endeavoring to
increase the water power of the state
and hoped he would be able to in
crease it in South Amboy as he knew
we needed it, He likened the legal
lied liquor traffic to monster giant
as portrayed by the ancient artists, a
mighty fiend going through the land
destroying and killing and filing the
land with sorrow, tears and blood
shed. death and damnation. He SAID
he was a gigantic robber, in fact we
license him to rob us; that the United
states government gives his protec-
ton, that he wraps the stars and
stripes around him as a protection.
In quoting some statistics the
speaker stated that last year it cost
one billion, five hundred million dol
lars for the drink business, that If
| this amount should be coined up in
silver dollars and they were stood
