May Not Build il Now.
In arranging for the purchase OF
property from the Perth Amboy City
Hospital Association for isolation
hospital purposes, the board took
action similar to that which other
cities of like size in the state have
done and are doing, according to
Alderman-at-large William ID. Voor-
hees. He stated that an isolation
hospital might not be erected at
once, but the land was acquired at
this time because 1T is suitable and
Is available at this time. When the
city fathers deem fit they will erect
modern hospital thereon to be used
exclusively for treatment of con-
tagious diseases, with the exception
of tuberculosis. The land is de-
|clared to be conveniently situated for
the purpose, being a part of the hos
pital land thus permitting the pro-
posed structure to be erected near
the hospital building.
Resolutions were passed authoriz-
ing the committee on public grounds
and buildings to purchase the land
in question at price of $4,000.
Give pardee Another Week.
Action was taken to grant c. Par
dee another week in which to con-
slider the city's offer of $4,000 for
a piece of property that is desired

last night, but City Clerk Wilbur
La .Jfoa. reported that he had shaen.

tative that the former had not had
time to take up the subject for final
disposition. He told Mr. La Roe
that Mr.. Pardee had been here for a
few hours, but was forced to lay the
matter over until some time this
week The board adjourned until
next Monday night, when 1t expects
Mr.. Pardee's final answer, either ac-
cepting or rejecting the offer. If 1t
Is rejected condemnation proceed
ings will most likely be started to
acquire it. Action was taken to es-
tablish grade on Convery Place
last night.
For Riparian Rights.
The city fathers are willing to
pay the Board of Riparian Commits
sioners nominal sum for rights to
ends of street from Buckingham
avenue southwark and thence west
ward up Raritan river. Resolutions
were passed instructing City Attor-
