q Wurtzel wagon ran away, carrying
Hubner and the pole with 1t, and
finally crashed into heavy express
rig owned by Andrew Anderson, q
brother Of Fire Chief 7. Il. Ander-

ner and Wurtzel. He was able to
walk after the accident and after be-
ing attended by DR.. M. S. Meinzer
was sent to his home in New Bruins

WANT The GAS RATE LOWERED

Perth Anboy 8 commercial main
spring. the Board of Trade, held its
annual meeting last night in the
Echeuer building and, with the election
Of officers for the ensuing year incident
ally brought up the proposition for a
lower gas rate and lower ferry rate for
Perth Amboy. The reports Of the
officers showed the board to be in
an excellent condition and q campaign
was inaugurated to bring the member
ship up from 76 to 500.
In the election which was spirited
one, officers were named for the ensu.
ing year as follows: D. P. Olmstead,
president; Abel Hanson, vice president;
Harry Conard, treasurer and Albert
Leon, secretary. Directors were named
for one year as follows: Louis Kreiel-
T. Trainer and s. M. jacobson.

almost entirely transacted by it's
officers together with small per-
centage of its members.
Notwithstanding the poor support
OF the general membership of this
board and the public at large, few
Of the members together with the
officers have worked consistently
during the past year for the better
ment and growth of the city. Among
the matters given attention duxing
the past year were the following: 3
The appointment Of a sealer of
weights and measures. This was ac-
complished after considerable effort
and the need OF such an official was
we'll demonstrated before he had
been at work a week.
Better telegraph service. After
numerous interviews by commit
tee with officials Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company we are
given to understand that within a
very short time 1t will be possible to
send kilograms as late as midnight
and 1t is probable that all night SER
vice will be installed.
Better regulation of the farmers
market. This matter has been taken
up with the city officials and we
hope to secure the passage of pro-
per ordinance before the market
opens in the spring.
The Wet Dock Property.
A committee was appointed by
this board to appear at the public
hearings of the Board of Aldermen
regarding the sale of this property.
This committee consistently advocat-
ed the sale OF said property and
used every honorable means to at
tain such action by the municipal
board. While it would be presump-
tion on our part to say that the sue
cessful outcome was due entirely to
the efforts OF this board. we think
its influence was an important factor
and seriously considered by the
Board of Aldermen in arriving at a
decision.
