OPINION ON
SCHOOL TICKET
CONTINUED from page IL

the commission might Justify any
Interpretation It might announce of
fcially. There will be no haste In
making any announcement, nor no
delay. The commission only seeks
to be right when it does make the
announcement, so there can be no
criticism in the future.
w. G. Besler, yic~e-president of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, has
expressed the opinion that there
would be no special excursions un-
der the new utility law. Should this
prove true, it will provoke a storm
of protest along the Atlantic sea
board that may be heard by Govern
or Wilson on his way to the Pacific
coast. There would probably be a
demand for q special session of the
Legislature TO remedy this point.
Meanwhile. 1t is possible Assistant
Attorney General Gaskill may de-
termine school tickets may be sold,
and that special excursion tickets
are not unlawful. There does not
seem to be any relief, however, for
the policemen and flremen, although
the half rate tickets for the preach
ers may be restored. The opinion OF
the assistant attorney general Will
be awaited with interest. AS al
ready stated, Mr.. Gaskill is working
hard to get it out as quickly as pos
sible.

j. CHRIST GO.
IN new BLDG.
Opening of Big Fur
niturs Store Today.

In line with the improvement of
mercantile Perth Amboy comes the
magnifcently appointed furniture and
carpet store of J.. Christ Co., at 168 to
10 Smith street, which has its opening
to-day. Compared with the old loea-
ton of the firm at 142 and 146 Smith
street the new store has over 10000
feet of floor space, or nearly double
the former amount. In the fine new
store light and ventilation play a
prominent part. The basement which
will house the more bulky pieces of
furniture Is so light that artificial IL
Elimination is not necessary. Large
show windows make the display of the
more costly pieces of furniture on the
main floor an attractive proposition.
On the second floor in the wing of the
building is the display of parlor fur
uiture, extensive in variety, to suit all
pocketbooks.
On the third floor is the carpet dis
play room and the cabinet-makers'
bench. The carpet room is well light
ed and contains a novelty in the shape
Of a display hanger for carpets and
rugs. The cabinet makers bench is
located out of the usual travel in the
store. 1t has good light and will be
arranged to be free from dust. The
three floors are connected with freight
and passenger elevators.
The Christ business was started in
this city with the handling of cloth-
ing, at 157 Smith street, which store
is still abreast with the times and
doing its share of the business. On
May II of last year Mr.. Christ took
over the furniture business of David
Wolff at 142 to 146 Smith street. AL
though the new store is doing business
under the name of J.. Christ Co., the
man who is really responsible for the
present development of the business is
Joseph Christ, Jr. Mr.. Christ is pres
ident of the company and has made
arrangements with the clothing end Of
his interests to devote his entire time
and attention to the furniture bust
ness.
The building which he occupies is
owned by David Wolff, of Newark, a
Perth Amboy enthusiast, and the Christ
firm has leased the whole building for
a term of ten years with the privi-
lege of renewal for ten more years.
Mr.. Christ has great hopes for Perth
Amboy's future he states or he would
not have made his present large in
vestment here. He has twelve years
experience with a large furniture house
in Newark before coming to this city.
At present he resides with his family
at Al Woodruff place.
