Perth Amboy. n. j.
Dear SIR
the 2sth ultimo. relative to the open
Ing of Convery Place.
Our understanding and belief is that
the City VIII be compelled to stand the
over the Lehigh Valley Railroad. and
that the approximate cost OF this
bridge will be $50, 000. 90. Granting,
~derstanding is correct, we feel that the
assessment which would be levied
against us for the erection of this
bridge, which win be a positive detri-
ment. to our property for manufactur-
Ing purposes, would be an injustice to
us.
However. If the City Will agree that
Of the street proper, n that the cost
OF the bridge be not included, we will
accept their offer OF 81, 600. 90 for that
part OF our property which is desired
Yours truly,
THE G. PARDEE WORKS,

The following communication from
the Acting Mayor:
Hon. Board of Aldermen.
Gentlemen >
/ believe Ii would be a mistake to
abolish the position in the police de-
partment known as traffic officer, and
circumstances just at that time seemed
TO warrant a temporary change. /
think now that officer Hartmann should
be assigned to his former position at
and that one new patroiman
should be added to the force to all the
vacancy caused by sald change. With
this addition the Police Department
should be In frst-class shape for some
to come. Therefore, subject to
the approval OF your honorable body, +
appoint Hugh Steed as a patrolman of
the City of Perth Amboy.
Yours truly.
