HELP The CITY
Offer Contribution for Con-
very Place Bridge.

That the city will extend Convery
Place southwark and that a bridge
will be constructed across the Lee
high Valley railroad tracks for the
safety and convenience of residents
in the western section Of the city,
seems to be the ultimate result of a
conference held yesterday between
Perth Amboy and eLhigh Valley of
icials.
Railroad win Not Pay All.
1t is doubtful that the railroad
company will pay for the bridge.
Through its first vice-president the
Lehigh Valley concern declared that
10 is not obliged to construct the
bridge, but it is willing to make a
contribution towards the erection
of one. The city officials were given
to understand that the company
would fight any effort made to COM
pei it to pay for a bridge. They
were told, however, that the COM
|pany would do everything possible
to aid the city in having the struc-
Iture erected.
The Of1cials Present.
Mayor Albert Bollschweiler, AL
derman-at-Large William d. Voor-
hees, City Engineer Samuel J. Ma
son and Local Representative Carrot
Brodhead of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany, went to New York yesterday
and met First Viee-President j.. A.
Middleton of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company. He heard the
proposition of the city to extend
Convery Place and received it's re-
quest that the company construct q
bridge across Its tracks at that point.
Mr.. Middleton stated that the COM
pany had received legal advice to
the effect that 1t is not compelled
to construct a bridge over It's tracks
and gave the city representatives to
understand that 1t does not intend to
do SO. He stated it would be willing
to shift its tracks and do whatever
else possible to make room for a
bridge and it's supporting pillars.
Iron and Concrete Structure.
1t is the intention of city officials
to have a modern iron and concrete
bridge constructed across the Lehigh
Valley tracks where the southerly
end of Convery place would abut the
railroad company's property. City
Engineer Mason declares a suitable
bridge could be erected for a sum
well within $40,0

One of the main purposes of this in
yestigation seems to have been to pic
tpre me as the only party in eonnec.
ton with the transactions of the school
fund. Nothing Is further from the
truth. I was not the purchaser of the
securities of the school fund. No gov-
efnor is. The transactions do not go
through the governor office. I was
simply one of five purchasers, and /
conseientionsly performed by duty, in
yestigated the character of the bonds
purchased and was amply satisfied as to
their worth and to the fact that the
state secured its bonds at the lowest
price possible under the market condi-
lions at the dete of purSaase. Bonds
are much cheaper today than when I
was elected governor.
The third allusian TO the trustees
shat could be possibly interpreted as
having TO do with myself is the sugqes-
tion that a member Of the board of
trustees who might happen to be an
officer in 8 bank where the school fund
was deposited might have two conflict
ing duties-one to invest his funds, and
the other to keep the deposit in bank
without investment. 1t would be q
small man indeed, who would have any
temptation under such conditions. The
trustees OF an estate who refrained from
:depositing his funds in q bank Ia which
he was a director Or officer because he
was afraid that be could net trust
himself 80 draw them out aud invest
them as the law required ought to have
a guardian appointed to preserve bis
honesty. A wel1-managsd bank makes
