TRAFFIC RULES
Newark's Not New York, Says
Roundsman, So Mast Fig.

GAINS SOME POINTERS
FROM THE METROPOLIS
BIT They Will Not Play Heavily
in Regulations for -Four
Corners" Traffic.

Roundsman Michael Tully. of the new
traffic squad of this city, is in confer
ence this afternoon with the Board of
Police Commissioners in an endeavor to
adopt uniform traffic regulations for
this city. fully who was raised to his
position at a recent meeting of the
board, spent several days last week In
New York city studying the system
used by the police of that city to regu-
late the sti eet traffic.
Tully stated to the board that the
conditions in New York were so far
different from those existing in Newark
that it would not be of use to try the
New York regulations here. However,
he has several ideas, gained from study
ing the New York system, by which the
handling of traffic can be improved, in
Newark.
The board Is undecided whether
whistles will be used by the police sta
toned at the -Four Corners" 1t a.
be a day or so before the traffic regula-
lions can be formulated.
The regulations will apply only at
the -Four Corners"

loo POLICEMEN
AND 2 STATIONS
PROMISED TO CITY
Mayor and Commission Head
Both Strongly Favor the
Proposition.
ADDITIONS TO BE MADE
EARLY IN THE SUMMER
Precinct Stations Likely to Be
Located in Vailsburg and
Lower Section.

Newark will have at least one hun
dred new policemen and at least one
new precinct station before the middle
of summer If plans now being consid
cred by the Boar of Police Commits
sioners are carried through. Already
an appropriation has beer asked thai
will mean the appointment of fifty
new policemen to the force within a
month. After this appropriation is
received an effort will be made to
obtain enough money to get a new
precinct station at the southern end
of the city.
Each Inc every member of the Po-
lice Board is in favor of the findings
of the grand jury, that Newark needs
at least two more stations and at least
100 more men to properly police the
city.
Two weeks ago the board met
discussed the proposition of making ad-
ditions to the force to complete the new
platoon system, which will formally go
into effect within a month. At this
meeting the advisability of erecting a
new precinct station was considered
and the board unanimously decided to
ask for an appropriation for this work.
Plans Under Way.
The p%resentment of the grand jury, in
which it was set forth that at least two
new precinct station houses We're
needed. only voiced the opinion of the
members of the board. as stated pre-
viously.
Commissioner Bennett said today that
the board favors the erection of two
new precinct station houses and has
plans under way to build one at the
southern end of the city. The other. in
his opinion, should be in the vailsburg
section. which is rapidly building up,
and is too large for the Fourth Precinct
to hands.
TURN RULE FOR b COPY
President Harrigan said: 81 have al
ways been in favor of more policemen.
You have seen time and time again we
have been short-handed. In order to
properly protect the lives and property
of citizens of this city 200 more mel
and two new precincts would not be too
much to ask. We will do our part, you
may rest assured, to bring. about these
necessary changes"
Commissioners Kane and Baader also
agreed that more men and precincts
We're needed. and the board would dc
it's best to have this matter arranged.
Mayor Fsvors Plan.
Mayor Haussling also expressed him
self as being iii favor Of the propo-
sition put up by the grand jury, if it
! could be carried out.
81 believe that the people should have
all the protection they can get. The
city is constantly growing, and new
men will have to be added to the force.
There must be some place to quarter
them. If new stations are necessary,
we should have them"

nothing unusual now owing to scarcity
of building operations.
John H.. Mclean, a business agent for
the District Council of Carpenters, says
that while it had been expected, a
general lockout did not materialize to-
day, as all of the master bosses en-
ploying large numbers of men, had re-
fused to take any such step.
So far as could be learned only one
master carpenter, George Marley, has
insisted on a reduction In wages from
so to IS cents per hour III an effort
Is being made to settle matters with
him without calling the men in his
employ out oil a strike.
At the office of e. 1. Oakley, another
builder, 1t was said today ythat the
force of twelve carpenters had walked
out. Other builders declared they had
had no trouble.

MEN EQUALLY PLEASED
No CrOwding and Plenty OF Seats

Newark received it's introduction to
the new pay-as-you-enter cars today
when a trial trip was made over the
Broad street line, by direction of Cen
eral Manager Danforth, of the Public
Service Corporation. Division Superin-
tendent Graham was in personal charge
of the trip and was highly pleased at
the result.
The public took kindly to the innova-
ton, and the initial run demonstrated
apparently, the superiority of the ley
type over the old. For handling crowds
without delay, the big, roomy car
worked like a charm Waiting passen-
gers were notified to have their fares
ready by a sign in big letters on the
front of the car bearing the words,
PAS as you enter and another sign,
in smaller type. at the rear of the car
asking the public to have its nickels in
hand on boarding.

The inside signals worked splendidly.
There was no attempt to use the front

tenn in~augurated six weeks ago.

The rear steps are divided by this
