Thursday, SO loaded that the metal
Tapped over both sides of the wagon.
The horse drawing the load was in

the Times office Thursday afternoon.
First the horse displayed fright at
an automobile in which was County
Solicitor John A. Coan and others.
The driver of the auto considerably
stopping, got out and attempted to
lead the horse past the auto, hut the
animal refused to go forward a step,
but commenced to back and cause
confusion among the other rigs
drawn up waiting to pass.
Then Jahn's man finally got him
started on a trot and the metal cor

Then the horse baked again and

THIS RIVER is
NOT APPROVED
Government Engineer Report
UnfavorabIs to Elizabeth.
lFrom the NEWS Correspondent,

Washington, May 27:-After hav-
ing devoted considerable time to a
preliminary inspection of, the Eliza
beth river with a view to providing
a channel of sufficient depth from
the Broad street bridge in the city of
Elizabeth to the channel in Staten
Island sound to accommodate more
extensive shipping than is now pos
sible, Colonel William T. Rossell, of
the United States engineer office, has
submitted an unfavorable report on
the proposition. In his report Col.
RoSsell says:
The report is unfavorable be-
cause this river is in the class re-
ferred to in the report of the board
of engineer officers constituted by
special order No. 20, office of the
chief of engineers, April 80, 1909,
which is printed in House document

as being unworthy of improvement
by the general government. 1t is
merely a local Improvement with no

eral public is concerned. Although
there is considerable freighting done
near the mouth of the river, 1t is, in

sells cannot pass while others are
tied up to the wharves. This part of
the river is but the berth Of vessels
at private wharves; manifestly these
docks should be dredged out by the
owners of Above the mouth
the river is a navigable sewer out
let of the city of Elizabeth. Furth-
er information concerning the por-
lions of the report bearing upon the
question of worthiness may be OBJ
tanned by application to this Office
Interested parties have the privi-
lege of an appeal from this conclu-
sion to the Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors, at Washing
ton, to which all examination and
survey reports of this character are
referred. Parties desiring to do so
may be heard on appearance by the
board, either orally or In writing.
Written communications should be
addressed to the Board of Engineers

to be in the possession of the said

MOTORMAN IS
GIVEN PENSION
Public Services Takes Care
of Afflicted Man.

Charles c. Lotsey, a motorman in
the employ of Public Service Rail-
way, was placed on the company's
pension list yesterday to receive $40
per month. Lotsey's case Is an I'M
usual one. He started ~railroading
April 90, 1902, and on March 6,
1907, was working on the Plank
Road line. On that day, while oper-
ating his car, his feet were frozen so
that when he reached his home at
night and removed his shoes and
stockings, the skin peeled from his
instep to his toes on each foot. A
doctor was summoned but no cure
was affected and Lotsey has been
able to work only at intervals since,
and then only for a day Or two at a
time.
Recently the motorman's condition
grew worse and he has been carried
on the sick list. Since the first of
the year the man received the maxi
mum allotment of sick benefits under
the company's Welfare Plan, and as
he has a family he vas in need of
financial assistance. Lotsey's case
tee and, although neither his age nor
term of employed warranted his re-
ceiying a pension under the COM
pany's rules, the unusual nature of
his disability and it's cause prompted
the committee to make an exception
of his case.
Lotsey lives in Burnett avenue,
Hilton.
