anything for any of us to get out
Of, said the mayor. This is a pc
tition presented to your honorable
body in due form. l think the mo-
tion made by Mr. Berrian is very
good one. 1t is no harm to appoint
committee with myself and the
city solicitor for an interview to see
just what can be done; we may ef-
feet some arrangement that will be
very advantageous to the city. 1t is
not so delicate as some people might
think. We are here for one purpose,
that purpose is good government. /

friend, Mr.. Stanton, declined to

everyone interested here should be
only too glad to confer. II they have
a proposition that is attractive to us

Special to the EVENING NEWS.


South Amboy, March 23:-At a
meeting of the common council last
night, a petition was received from
the Pennsylvania railroad relative to
abolishment of the present Hole
in-the-Wall. A committee was ap-
pointed by the president of the coun-
railroad in regard to the matter.
There is reason to believe that the
plan will be adopted
The petition provides that the
Pennsylvania railroad would open,
improve and dedicate new road
leading from the intersection of
Main street and Broadway down un-
der their yard tracks to their pro-
posed new station, and from there
directly across to Bridge road, lead
ing to the county bridge, passing on
the outskirts of Mechanicsville; also
extend Raritan street in Mechanics
vile to connect with tn proposed
new road, in lieu Of the "Hole-in-
the-Wall," the understanding being
that the city would discontinue the
litigation in the latter case. A form
of contract was also appended which
the railroad company agreed to en-
ter into covering the transaction.
The matter was brought up when
City Counsel Pearse reported on the
hearing before the court of errors
ard arreals in the litigation now
pending, an account of which was
pu01ss ed IN the EVENING NEWS
yesterday.
"The court at the opening day Of
the term,'' said Mr.. Pearse, AN
nounced that they would hear the
first one hundred cases and the
"Hole-in-the-Wall" case was known
as 69-e. The court, however, later
announced they would adjourn last
Friday with the result that although
We waited all last week to be heard
at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, the
case preceding us had just been
opened and as counsel had an hour
on both sides to be heard, the
chances were that the "Hole-in-the-
Wall case would not be heard this
term. Thereupon Senator Silzer
persuaded the Court of Errors that
the 'Hole-in-the-Wa case was one
of considerable public Importance
and he trusted the court would not
adjourn until that case had been
heard, with the result. that the court
adjourned until today, at which
time the case was argued by myself
and we are now awaiting the decis-
ion of the court, but the chances are
that the decision will not arrive un-
til the opening day Of the next term
of court of errors or shortly there
after, which will be in June, and
perhaps not until November"
AT this point Mayor Scully, who
was present, was recognized.
II have petition addressed to
the Hon. Mayor and Council of the
City of South Amboy," he said,

COMMISSION
WILL REPORT
ON The CANAL
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, March 23:-Following
the final meeting this afternoon of
the senate commission to investigate
the cause of the falling off of traffic
on the Delaware & Raritan canal,
the reports of the commission will
go to the senate next week. 1t is
expected that the report will review
certain alleged cases of discrimina-
ton in freight rates ON the water
way and will make important recon-
mendations as to traffic and the
physical condition of the canal
1t is understood tnat the commit
tee will recommend that the canal in
several places and particularly at
New Brunswick, should be kept in
better condition in order that traffic
might be facilitated. 1t is likely
that the report will take up general
freight traffic on the canal and the
rates charged.
One thing that will be shown is
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which controls the canal, di-
vides freight on the waterway into
six classes and charges a different
rate for each class, running from
thirty-fye cents per ton for sand up
to dollar and half per ton for
first-class freight, although 1t costs
the company no more to let boat
load of high class freight through
than it does boat load of sand.
The charter of the company per-
mits rate of ten cents per passen-
ger and four cents per ton for
freight, but the company, in recent
years at least, has never charged
this rate, so that there can be no
charge of exceeding legal rates.
Members Of the commission would
not say today as to Just what recon-
mendation they would make touch
ing the alleged discrimination.
AT the meeting this afternoon Sec
retary Metzger, of the Trenton
Chamber of Commerce, will appear
and will speak in favor Of opening
the canal to general traffic. He will
show that a canvass has been made
of Trenton manufacturers and ship
pers and that by large majority
they are in favor of opening the ca
nal to general traffic. One of the
commissioners said today that he
could not see why it would not be
to the interest of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to change it's pol
icy and open the canal to all the
1t could get. The
commissioners are Senators Silzer, of
Middlesex; Bradley, of Camden, and
Leavitt, of Mercer.
