A BIG SESSION

That Water street be graded and
paved throughout It's entire length
was the substance of a petition pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen at
an adjourned meeting last night.
The petition was as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Alder
men of the City of Perth AM
boy.
Respectfully show unto your
Honorable Board, your petitioners,
that they are residents and proprie-
tors Of lands and houses fronting on
the east and west sides of Water
street, in this city, between Fayette
street and High street respectively
that said Water street Is not paved
by any manner of pavement, the
centre of said street being still in
its natural state, which condition Is
wholly distasteful and annoying to
petitioners, who believe that the
proper paving OF said Water street.
between the said streets named, will
prove beneficial to the welfare and
add to the comfort of your petition-
ers, their families, and such persons
who are Obliged to use said street,
Your petitioners therefore re-
spectfully petition your Honorable
Board to grade and pave said Water
street, between Fayette street and
High street, with either bituminous
macadam, sheet-asphalt, or asphalt
block of approved quality, and IN
substantial manner, as speedily as
the same can be conveniently done.
In grading 1t is especially requested
that the present conditions of said
street be adhered to as near as pos
sible.
Respectfully submitted,
w. P. Runyon, Jacob Hanson, @.

The matter was referred to the
committee on streets and sewers.
Award Garbage Contract.
The contract for the removal and
disposal of ashes and garbage DUR
ing the ensuing year was awarded to
Graham & McKeon, whose bid at the
previous meeting was $500. The
only other bid was very much lower
and, as John j. G. Smith had not
understood the specifications when
he made 1t, he was allowed to With
draw his proposal.
For Extension of Street.
The following petition was res
ceived and referred to the street
committee:
ITO the Council of the city OF Perth
Amboy:
"Gentlemen-We the undersign-
ed, property owners residing In the
vicinity OF Convery Place and the

large number of operatives woriEinR
in the factories along the Rarltan
River reside on the north side Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad and espeo-
tally on and in the vicinity Of lands
laid out by the Stanford Heights
Land Company; that some number
of years ago there was bridge
across the Lehigh Valley Railroad
connecting Fox Hill Road with the
New Brunswick Turnpike which
made convenient means of access
from one side of the railroad to the
other; that when the Lehigh Valley
Railroad purchased the property on
the north side of their road from
what vase formerly the estate Of
Marcus Spring they removed the
bridge and now there is no method
OF crossing the railroad by any pub
lie right of way between the bridge
on the Florida Grove Road, the
western limit of the city and Pros
pect street.
your petitioners, therefore, pray
that your Honorable Body will cause

opened to be extended southerIy
from Sayre Avenue across the lots
on the southerly side OF Sayre Ave-
nue. and lands OF the Lehigh Valley
Railroad and the lands OF the @.
Pardee Works to connect with the
Fox Hill Road or that the Fox Hill
Road may be extended northerlv

which ever would be deemed most
advisable.
