The ordinance pertains to boat en-

ACTRESS HAS
LIVELY TIME
Miss Ollie Gilbert at Proc
tors, Defends Dog.

Miss Ollie Gilbert, an actress at
Proctor's the last half of this week,
had an experience Thursday which,
without a doubt. she will always
remember. Perhaps some of the au-
dience at the matinee on Columbus
Day will remember the incident too,
for Miss Gilbert appeared on the
stage for her turn very much out
of breath and in ordinary street
costume.
The demure actress has an expla-
nation, and 1t Is a good n too.
She knocked a man down twice, was
arrested once, and entered a plea
of guilty to the charge all this in
one afternoon. But Miss Gilbert
managed to keep her engagement
here despite these setbacks and
shows the following clipping to
prove her story:

best heavy weights In Westchester

he had slipped o knockout over"
on the redoubtable Matt Wells,

But Tommy met his match

doughty warrior before him-at the
hands of a m 'Tommy's' con-
queror was Miss Ollie Gilbert, a
comely young New York actress,
who was playing in Port Chester the
first half Of this week.
Miss Gilbert got up bright and
early Thursday morning in order to
bring her pet bulldog Bunny to the
city. She boarded the 1925 express
with Bunny in her arms. Then
came the first cloud on the horizon
in the shape of the conductor, who
barred her way, telling her that
dogs were only allowed in baggage
cars, and as there was no baggage
a on that train she must wait for
the next train
Scores a Knockout.
Miss Gilbert allowed she'd ride
on that train. The conductor al
lowed she wouldn't, and he called
the train crew to his aid to assist in
putting Miss Gilbert and her pet off
the train. Some hung back, but not
SO Tommy Nelson, who managed
to grasp hold of the dogs leader
and pull him Off the train.
THAT was the cue for Miss Gil
bert to unbuckle her heavy armor.
She hoped off the train, her right
whizzed through the air, and Tom
my Nelson measured his length on
the ground. Some one started the
count and had reached eight when
Nelson revived land went into a
clinch with his fair opponent. Miss
Gilbert uncorked another haymaker
and Nelson went down a second
time.

him to the City Court. Nelson made

NEW SURVEY OF BAY
AND SOUND ORDERED



greatest length east and west is
about seven miles. The Raritan riv-
er empties into II at its west end,
between Perth Amboy and South
Amboy, and the Arthur Kill, or Sta
ten Island sound, extends northward
connecting 1t with Newark bay.
This bay had naturally a fairly
straight channel, eleven feet deep,
to South Amboy. The line of the
deepest water, however, followed
the Staten Island shore from Perth
Amboy to Seguine Point. where it
was separated from deep water in
the eastern part of the bay by a
choal LIS miles broad, with a min
imum depth of 14.5 feet.
THE original and existing pro-
tect, adopted March g., 1881, and
extended September 10, 1890, and
June 8, 1895, provides for dredging
channels 500 feet wide and 81 feet
deep from Seguine Point to deep
water in the bay, a distance of about
10 miles, through two shoals oppo-
site Wards Point, GA and 0.6 mile
long. respectively, and from South
Amboy to deep water near Great
Beds light, a distance OF about 1.5
miles. The estimated cost of the
work was ~s507.S75 and $4,000 an
nually for maintenance.
Reference to reports on exam
nations and surveys are noted in
the annual report of the chief of en-
gineers for 1904, pages 140 and
1853.
THE amount expended on the
work up to the close of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1910. was
$3.50 ,908.66, of which $297.314.45
was used In carrying out the pro-
ject and $~269,594.21 for mainten-
ance. OF this amount $4.38 was de-
rived from the sale of maps. The
existing project has been completed,
and the work now contemplated Is
maintenance of the Improvement.
Operations during the fiscal year
consisted in dredging under contract
for maintenance. Work was com
menced on May 6, and was In prog
ress at the close of the fiscal year
The amount of material dredged
during the year was 78,543 cubic
yards, which was removed from the
Seguine Point channel.
1T is proposed to apply the
amount recommended as a profit
able expenditure to maintenance of
Improvement.
THE maximum draft that could
be carried June 80, 1910, through
the Wards Point. South Amboy and
Seguine Point channels was about
20 feet at mean low water. Mean
range of tides, five feet.
The commerce of the bay lis
mainly In. coal, brick, refined lead,
and copper, bullion, clay products,
and general merchandise, and
amounted in 1901 to 4,722,048 tons;
in 1902, to ~$5,453,122 tons, in 1908
to 4,484,152 tons; in 1905 to $685.
