ERNST
DOG CATCHER
FOR : MONTHS

said that he would guarantee to do
the work right and thought the city
would ave considerable by accepting
his offer to furnish everything and
do all the work for $1.25 per dog,
After his appointment the new
catcher said he would begin work
about 4 O'Clock next Monday morn
ing, as the CANNES could be caught
with less trouble at that hour than
later in the day. According to the
pound keeper, there are hundreds of
stray and unlicensed dogs in the city.
He says he expects at least 500 dur
ing his term Of office.
Mr.. Ernst expects to name Joseph
Duh as his official deputy to take
charge of collecting the dogs. Mr..
Duh, he says, has worked at the
pound on various occasions and Is a
reliable man. Alderman Seaman
said that Mr.. Duh had done some
work for him and given satisfaction.
The new dog catcher was anxious to
start work at once, but Alderman
at-Large Voorhees, said that 1t would
not be fair to start catching the dogs
without first giving the owners a
chance to secure licenses. All dogs
caught will be placed In the pound,
where they will be kept for two days.
If at the end of that time they are
not redeemed, they will be killed.

COUNCIL MAY EXTEND FOOT OF HIGH
ST. FOR PUBLIC RECREATION PLACE
City Attorney To
Get Riparian
Rights.
ACTION TAKEN

providing riparian rights can be
secured 1t is the intention of the
Boar OF Aldermen to extend the
foot of High street several hundred
feet to the pier line and convert 1t
into a recreation place. Alderman
at-Large William D. Voorhees,, who
has been looking into the matter for
some time, made his idea public at a
meeting Of the council last night,
when he offered a resolution setting
1t forth and instructing the city at
torney to make application to the
State Board of Riparian Commits
sioners for the necessary rights.
The plan has been discussed by
Mr.. Voorhees, with the Board In COM
mittee session and is generally IA
vored. The resolution last night was
ter will be taken up with the ripa-
rian commissioners without delay.
In discussing the matter after the
meeting Mr.. voorhees, said that the
spot In his opinion would make an
ideal recreation place and could be
established for about $4,000.
The city now own a strip Of land
ut the foot of the street about 100
feet WIDE" added the alderman,
"and If riparian rights can be Sc
cured, 1t can be built out three or
four hundred feet. A bulkhead of
concrete similar to the one In Front
street, nea the yacht club, can be
built around the water sides of the
property and the enclosure easily
filled in. The whole work, / be-
lieye, a be done for three or four
thousand dollars.
while riparian rights are first
necessary" continued Mr.. Voorhees,,
Il believe they can. be secured.
Heretofore when we have made ap-
plication for such rights the commits
sioners have said, Show US some
good use for the property The pro-
posed recreation place Is a good use
and rights will probably be granted"
While the recreation place cannot
be put in effect this summer, Mr..
Voorhees, a y that he hopes to see
the public enjoying it next year.
The why we cannot build
the place this summer, even II we
had the riparian rights" added Mr..
Voorhees,. "is because no %appropria-
ton has been made for 1t and the
city budget is complete. When next
years budget Is prepared money will
be appropriated for the work. We
also intend to pave High street from
the city hall park south to the river
with asphalt block next year, which,
with the proposed recreation place.
will make a beautiful thoroughfare."
Mr.. voorhees, is enthusiastic over
the idea and says that after several
years the city could easily build a
cover. over the place and convert 1t
into a sort or recreation pier.

Philip Ernst, city pound keeper,
was appointed dog catcher for a Pc
Rod of three months, beginning next
Monday, at a meeting Of the Board
of Aldermen last night. For every
canine that he catches the city must
pay s1.25, which Is seventy-fve
cents more than paid any dog catch
er in previous years. The increase
Is due to the fact that Mr.. Ernst has
agreed to furnish the horse and
wagon and man necessary to capture
the animals, feed and kill and bury
them for the foregoing amount. The
81 fee which must be paid to redeem
a dog impounded will be turned
over under the new agreement to
the city collector in full. Hereto
fore part of the impounding fee went
to the pound keeper and the horse
and wagon used by the dog catcher
cost the city SO a day, besides the If
ty cents to the catcher for each can
inc caught. The resolution provid-
ed that the work be done under the
supervision of the street commits
sioner.
Prior to the meeting Mr.. Ernst
discussed the matter with the board
and explained his offer in detail. He
said that heretofore the work had
not been done properly and had cost
the city considerable money. He

VESSEL FROM
SOUTH AMB0Y
LOST At SEA

New York, July e:-Foreed to
abandon the two masted schooner,
Garfield White, which sank twenty
miles east Of the Ambrose Channel
ltghtship, loaded with coal from
South Amboy, after the captain and
the crew worked themselves into a
state of exhaustion by manning the
pumps for five hours in a desperate
effort to keep her afoat until assist
ance arrived, the crew, consisting of
the captain, George E. Morrison; his
son, James, a cabin boy; j. F.
seaman, struggled all night to reach
the Rockaway shore, fifteen miles
away.
They were sighted two miles off
shore early today by Policeman G.
Sullivan and Eugene Fox, of the
Rockaway Beach station. The Nor
rison boy was In the bow feebly wav-
ing an undershirt as a signal of dis
tress. Captain Reinhart, of the
United States Volunteer Life Saving
crew at Adverne, put out after them
and towed them ashore. They were
exhausted and had to be assisted
from the beach to the life saving
station.
The vessel showed signs of listing
when she was twenty miles east of
the Ambrose Channel lightship, at
nine o'clock last night.
Captain Morrison and Mate Clarke
investigated and found that the yes
sci had sprung a serious leak amid
snip. The three men and the boy
aboard turned to the pumps i'm
mediately.
After five hours of constant work
1t was found that the thrush of water
was SO great that the vessel could
not long remain afoat. The pumps
were consequently abandoned. Cap
tain Morrison giving the order to
lower a yawl.
Captain Morrison ordered that the
yawl be headed for the Rockaway
coast. All night they took turns in
rowing the fifteen miles. When
they were within a short distance Of
the R~ockaway coast they were so
exhausted and weak that they aban-
doned rowing. The boy, who had
obtained snatches of sleep, sat in the
bow and watched out for passing
ships.
Shortly after eight o'clock he saw
the Rockaway coast, and. tieing a
shirt to an oar, waved 1t until he at
tracted the attention of the police
man.

NOT TO ELECT
COMPTROLLER
IN The FALL

No comptroller will be chosen by
the voters at the coming election as
the Board of Aldermen last night
took steps In accordance with the
new state law to make the office an
appointive one. An ordinance was
introduced and passed on Its first
reading, providing for the appoint
ment of a comptroller on January
/, 1911 for a term of three years at
a salary of 5000 per annum; the ap-
pointment to be made by the coun-
Icil.
The new state law permits cities
to pass ordinances to this effect and
says that the salary of the officer
shall not be more than $50 for each
1000 inhabitants. Under this pro-
J vision the city could pay the next
I comptroller $1,000 figuring the pop
ulation of Perth Amboy to be only
10000. The salary of the present
comptroller James A. Rhodes,
democrat, who was elected last fall
and whose term expires on January
/, next, is 1920. The aldermen,
however, have decided to only raise
troller to 5000 instead of making 1t
