RE!uRMAsLE ON JUNE 28
Another Phase Of Fight Be-
tween Police and Trolley
Company--M Much Interest.
RE!uRMAsLE ON JUNE 28

A new phase has developed in the
fight between the City of Perth Am
boy and the Public Service Railway
Company over the refusal of police
men to pay car fare. The railway
company refuses to pay a fine of SIS
imposed when its conductor, Freder-
ick Miles, elected Patrolman John
Durham from one of its cars about
two months ago. 1t has therefore
obtained writ of certiorari and has
served 1t upon Recorder Henry W.
Kehoe, who imposed the fine The
document Is returnable June %, by
which time the recorder will have his
papers in the case before the SUI
preme court justices. In this case
the city of Perth Abmoy becomes the
defendant and the Public Service
Railway Company the prosecutor. E
A. Armstrong, of 759 Broad street,
Newark. is counsel for the latter.
Conductor Fined May 4.
The company was held and fined
$15 by Recorder Kehoe on May be-
cause its conductor, Frederick Miles
refused to allow Officer Dunham to
ride without payment of fare while
he was in the discharge of his official
duty. Counsel for the company told
Mr.. Kehoe at the time that writ OF
certiorari would probably be obtain
ed against the local court proceed
ings that a test case might be made
of 1t. No notice was given in writ
ing for six weeks, and last week Mr.
Kehoe signed an execution authoriz-
ing the city marshal to levy on the
company's property In order to col.
lect the fine. No action was taken
however, and now the matter will
doubtlessly be held up for months
Violated City Ordinance.
The Public Service Company was
fined on charge of violating the
city ordinance granting permission
to the Perth Aw oy Railroad to lay
tracks and opek : cars on certain
streets Of the CIT 1t is the same
agreement under which the Public
Service is now running cars and the
city maintains that It's side of the
agreement should be enforced Sc
long as the company operates cars
under the franchise.

WILL CONSIDER
GAS REDUCTION
jshn ksan To Lay Matter
Before the Company.

A committee of six directors of the
Board of Trade met former United
States Senator John, Kean here yes
terday afternoon and asked that the
local gas company, of which he un-
derstood to be in control, lower it's
gas rate in this city. Mr., Kean made
no promises, but said he would place
the subject before the company in an
effort to see what could be done in
that direction. He was told that the
Board of Trade had made inquiries
about the state and learned that in
81 for 1000 cubic feet and in some
places it was less.
The Board of Trade is desirous of
having the local rate reduced and of
having about ten per cent. discount
allowed for cash instead of the
twenty-fve-cent reduction which now
exists, and SO informed Mr.. Kean.
At present the gross rate here is
$1.40 per / 900 cubic feet when bills
are not paid within fifteen days after
issuance. The net rate is s1.15, q
reduction of twenty-five cents, given
when the bill Is paid within fifteen
days, after issuance. The rate is ad-
judged altogether too high and the
reduction of twenty-five cents for
quick settlement is not desirable.
S. M Jacobson, Abel Hansen, G. NJ.
Peterson, Albert Leon, Louis Kreiels-
heimer and D. P. Olmstead met Mr..
Kean in the Board of Trade rooms
yesterday afternoon. They laid the
subject before him in facts as they
had obtained them They made it
known that Perth Amboy should have
a favorable gas rate, one that at
least compared with those of the
majority of cities in the state

CURB Is NOT
HIGH ENOUGH
LAWS Street Property Own
ers Have Another Complaint.

Objection is now made by some Of
the property owners In Lewis street
on the grounds that if the citys pro-
position to remedy DEFICIENCIES in the
new pavement are carried out, curb
ing will lack the proper height to
take care Of water drainage in places
Daniel A Shirley, who lives opposite
the sOutherly end of Kearny avenue,
wants a receiving basin in front Of
his house. He declares that without
it his premises will be flooded at
times from drainage running down
Kearny avenue. He appealed to
Street Commissioner George Adair
this morning and was referred to
City Engineer S. J. Mason and Alder
man-at-Large William D. Voorhees,.
Curb Would be Low.
The objection is that but seven
inches remain between the top of the
present rough concrete to the top of
the curb; a one-inch sealing bed of
cement, then a one-inch mortar bed
followed by the two-inch blocks on
top would cause the space to be taken
up to too great an extent, leaving but
three inches Of curbing above the
blocks. This subject came up at the
meeting of city's streets and sewers
committee with other officials and
property owners Tuesday night and
it was stated that three-inch curb
would probably take care of the
drainage. Now some of the property
owners declare it will not in certain
places.
Such declarations are made by
residents near intersecting streets, as
in the case of Mr.. Shirley. There
are two receiving basins across the
street from his premises, but he ad-
judges them inadequate to receive a
heavy drainage such as flows down
Kearny avenue at times. He declares
a four or even four and a half inch
curb would be low enough in front of
his place.
Street Commissioners Views.
When Street Commissioner Adair
was questioned about the DEFICIENCIES
in the pavement laid by the Hastings
Paxement- -Compang- he said it might
be as in some other instances where
! mountains have been made out OF
mole hills - Thereupon he invited
his interviewers, Contractor Ira r.
Grouse. Daniel A. Shirley and a
NEWS representative, to drive down
and inspect the pavement. The
rough concrete was found to have
been grouted with a cement on top,
giving it a hard crust At no place
was it found to be four inches in
thickness, in conformity with the
specifications. There were signs Of
lack of cement, excepting on the
crust where it had been grouted.
Mr.. Grouse has laid thousands of
yards of various kinds Of concrete
mixtures for factories and firms here
abouts. He pronounced the work on
Lewis street poorly executed and said
it was unfair to the city and property
owners to pour a liquid cement mix
ture over the top of the concrete,
such as has been done. Under the
crust crushed stone and sand with no
visible traces of cement was found in
places. The under portion could be
loosened with finger nails.

AMB0Y AVENUE
WORK STARTED
FreehOfdsrs Will Lay New
Top Brsssins--L Largs Force
of Men Busy.
10 BE OILED LATER
Petition of Property Owners
Is Granted Extend
Through Woodbridge.

Work was started this morning to
tear up Amboy avenue from New
Brunswick avenue northward, pre-
paratory to laying new top dressing
such as property owners have been
clamoring for. The county authori-
ties have a large force of men at
work with steam roller and plow
and material is being rushed to the
scene. A new top dressing is to be
laid from New Brunswick avenue
northward through Woodbridge to
the Union county line. After that
has been done the portion of the
roadway in this city will be given a
coat Of oil to hold the dust and as
sist in keeping the surface in good
condition.
The thoroughfare at this time is
reported to be in a rough condition
in many places. The extensive au-
tomobile traffic is said to have dis
turbed the binder, raised dust and
loosened stones IN the top dressing,
causing holes to form in many placse
that make the road a rough one to
travel over.
Property owners and residents
along both sides of Amboy avenue
have held meetings of late and asked
for remedy of conditions on that
thoroughfare. They have appealed
to the Board of Aldermen and were
informed that the county had repairs
under contemplation, which would
be started as soon as sufficient funds
were secured. In the meanwhile the
city authorities did what they could
by placing sprinkler at work to al
lay dust and now the county en-
ployes are tearing up the top surface
in the vicinity of New Brunswick

Washington, June Is: - Despite
earnest protests on the part of Sena-

Hardwick sugar investigating commit
tee to-day ordered Joseph F. Smith, the
Mormon apostle, to appear before that
body and testify regarding the organ
ization of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Com
pany. Senator Smoot sent a letter to
the committee, in which he asked that
Apostle Smith be excused because T.
R. Cutler, of Salt Lake City could give
all the testimony that was wanted from
Smith. Representative Hardwick said
he did not favor excusing Smith since
the latter had much to do with the
organization of the Utah-Idaho Com
pany. Representative Baker, Democrat,
of Colorado, moved that Smith be or
dered to appear and without debate the
motion was carried.
