Perth AmbOy
Gas Co.


One of the most important steps
that has even been taken for the bet
terment of Perth Amboy was the
formation of the Perth Amboy Gas
Light Company.
The company was incorporated in
1851 by public spirited citizens to
supply a long-felt want by supplying
to homes and establishments in
Perth Amboy an u~p-to-date gas SER
vice with it's many benefits and con-
veniences.
Owing to the large amount of ter
ritory to be covered and the many
disconnected sections of the city at
that time to be reached a very large
initial outlay was imperative.
Immediately following the organ
~ization of the company the manage
ment began the erection of the
manufacturing plant, storage tanks
and the installation Of mains and
some months later the people of
Perth Amboy were able to avail
themselves of the many advantages
of gas and co-operated gladly with
the company by becoming liberal US
.ers of It's product.
The same spirit of progress and
public service evidenced in the incep-
ton of the enterprise has prevailed
ever since and the company has con-
stantly extended its facilities until
today Perth Amboy has over twenty

pending payments.

by the Middlesex Title Guarantee and
Trust Co., of New Brunswick.

secure as purchasers of these lots

tages and are firmly convinced of it's
greatly increased future values and

gate, you too would be convinced.

tate in and about Perth Amboy. For

Among the score Of important in

Special rates, based on consump-

because Of It's labor trained in its
manufacture.
Some two hundred and fifty per-
sons are now employed in manufac-
turing tile In Perth Amboy.
The part that the tile industry
will play in the future may be real
lied by a comparison with the posi-
ton the industry holds in Germany
where with a population of less than
two-thirds the output Of the tile MAX
ing plants is twice as great as it is
in the United States.
Witnessing what this industry,
still in its infancy, has accomplished
in the comparatively few years since
its introduction into this country,
who can doubt that its growth will
mean increased prosperity to Perth

The astounding growth Of Perth
Amboy, the record being made of
81 40 per cent since the last CEN
sus, has been assisted materially by
the helpfulness of the gas company
as shown by its Willingness to
promptly extend Its mains to It's SUI

very strong inducement to those who
considered suburban Perth Amboy as
a place for BODYBUILDING.
The company supplies the neigh

which the same excellent service is

0'NE|LL'S ORE RUNS
VERY HIGH

Milling higher than was expected
the 90 tons of ore sent in by
Steve O'Neill. who has lease from
HerSchbeiger & Buell. on the Center
Star claim on Skoogey gulch, gave
up a brick valued at little more
than $500, the gold being of particu-
larry fine appearance. The ore came
from a shoot averaging from eight
to - inches. in a vein four feet be-
tween walls. Mr.. O'Neill estimates
that the whole of the ledge matter
would mill about $50 to the ton.
Earlier work on the Center Star
claim was done by Whitman & Muir
ray. who took a lease from the own
ers but abandoned the workings when
they encountered water. Mr.. ONeill
started his tunnel further down the
hill and after he had gone in about
100 feet he encountered the Whitman
< Murray lead. Following this he
has driven with crOsscut about
l75 feet on the lead all of the work
being done single-handed He will
probably go to work stopping and take
out a considerable quantity of ore
from the shoot for shipping.
