CITY STARTS ACTION
FOR NEW R. R. DEPOT
Board of Aldermen Ask Public UtiIi-
ties Commission to Investigate Con-
ditions at Central Station.
EXPECT HEARING TO BE CALLED

said that Its approaches are not
good and that the bridge itself Is in
bad condition.
The Pennsylvania railroad. not.
having seen fit to comply with the
requests of the Board of Aldermen
made some time ago to protect its
crossings throughout the city, will
also be brought to the attention OF
the utilities board as maintaining
unguarded crossings in the city.
Alderman Dalton told OF a narrow
escape from death by local man
recently because of an unguarded
Pennsylvania crossing in this city
and called the attention of the
board to the need for some action
on the matter.
Alderman-at-Large voorhees, said
that it was practically useless to
attempt to get any satisfaction from
the railroad companies and recom-
mended that ali railroad matters be
referred to the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners. 1t is expect
ed that the utility commission will
set date for hearing on the three
matters which the city is to bring
before it. The city will be repre-
sented by City Attorney Hommann
when the hearing takes place.

ORDER NEW STEAMER
AND CHEMICAL WAGON

through the 1911 engine which the
city Is about to purchase.
THE combination hose and chemi-
cal wagon win cost s2,525. This
will include rubber tires and two
thirty-five gallon chemical tanks.
The price without rubber tires and
with one forty-gallon chemical tank
was $4,000. 1t was thought best to
have two tanks SO that one could
be in the process OF refilling while
the other was being used in extin-
gushing a blaze. It. Is claimed that
about eighty per cent. OF the fires
In cities where these wagons are
used are extinguished by no other
means The chemical tanks are
champion Babcox invertable. Ac-
eompanying the hose wagon will be
200 feet of chemical hose " inch
es in diameter. There is also six
teen-foot extension and a ten-foot
roof ladder attached to the appara-
tus. Two hand extinguishers and a
bunker box are supplied. There will
be space for / 900 feet Of ordinary
fire hose. The body of the wagon
is hung low to afford easy access to
the hose from the ground.
It has not as yet been announced
where these two new pieces of ap-
paratus will be located. Some of
the aldermen favor having them in
stalled in the new house OF Garfield
Hose Company in the upper part of
the city, but the general impression
seems to be to place the appartus
where, 1t is claimed, 1t will do the
most good, that is, in the business
district where the fire risks are SUM-
posed to be the greatest.

Being of the opinion that the
depot facilities which answered for
this city at the Central railroad
some thirty-fve or forty years ago
are entirely inadequate for Perth
Amboy today, with its increase of
over 500 per cent. in population and
Importance in the meantime, the
Board of Aldermen last night took
steps to remedy the conditions. A
resolution was passed calling to the
attention of the State Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners the situa-
ton here. The utility board is ask
ed by the aldermen to investigate
conditions at the Central railroad
depot and its approaches The pub
lie utilities commission was created
to deal in problems in relation to
railroads and can recommend to
transportation companies TO make
any changes in the handling of its
business that 1t sees fit.
The attention of the utilities COM
mission will also be called to the
Central railroad bridge over Hall
avenue which was erected some
twenty years ago and is now de-
clared wholly Inadequate for the

STREITWOLF'S
BILL DROPPED
{ ISneelaI Gorraspondence. }

Trenton, Feb. 21:-Recognizing
that the public utility bills intro
duCed by Senator Osborne and AS
semblyman Egan, which are en-
dorsed by Governor Wilson and
consequently known as "administra-
ton measures, stand the best
chance OF receiving favorable com
sideration in the present legislature,
Assemblyman Streitwolf last night
withdrew from the House the public
utility bill officially known as No.
20 which he offered in behalf of the
New Jersey Commuters Association
Mr.. Streitwolf, In requesting that
the bill be removed from the files of
the House, stated that there were
SO 900 commuters in New Jersey
who werc intensely Interested la
the effort to secure adequate power
for the public utility commission.
He said that the bin introduced by
him was considered by the commut-
erss as a measure meeting the de-
mands of the situation from their
point Of view The commuters did
not want to raise any obstacles in
the path of proper public utility
legislation, he explained, and as the
Egan bill was satisfactory to them
they requested that No. 20 be With
drawn.

FAIRGROUNDS
COMMISSION
NOT CHOSEN
Mayer Says He Has Post
poned Appointment Indsf-
initely--Not in Haste.
WANT PUBLIC SENTIMENT
FINANCIAL PROBLEM

Contrary to general expectations
Mayor Bollschweiler did not send in
his appointments for the playground
commission to the Board of Aldermen
last night although it had been inti-
mated that he would do so.
Mayor Bollsehweiler stated today
that he had postponed the appoint
ment of the commission indefinitely
During the past month the mayor
states that he has been going over the
list of eligibles carefully and has even
approached number of people to see
If they would serve on the board. He
says he has found no encouragement
among responsible people who might
act on the board Without salary and
no honors of any particular amount
the mayor states that those he has
approached do not seem inclined to
give the necessary time to the office
The mayor does not think that the
situation warrants any haste in the
proposition. He declares the work of
the playground commission is one in
volving the spending of considerable
money which the city is not in any
too good position at this time to
contemplate. The mayor says that the
appointment of the right sort of COM
missioners on the body, members who
will appreciate the city's position is al.
most necessity.
The mayor calls attention to the fact
that after all he is only the servant
of the people and that Of late he has
been in doubt as TO whether or not
there is enough popular sentiment to
warrant the appointment of another
money spending body in the city. A
number of prominent citizens and
property owners, he states, have re-
Gently approached him and advised
against the appointment of the commits
sion in question at this time.
Additional popular sentiment in some
tangible form should come out in fa-
vor of the playground movement be
fore the commission is appointed, is
the mayors opinion In the mean
time, however, the mayor asserts, he
is deliberating over the personnel of
the proposed Fairgrounds commission
and when the time is ripe will present
the list to the Board of Aldermen for
confirmation

ALL FAVORABLE
TO TAX BOARD
Arguments Heard at Tren-
ton Yesterday.
lspecial Oorrespondence. J

Trenton, Feb. 21:-Evilss that the
County Boards of Taxation are said
to have pointed out to the House Ju-
dietary Committee yesterday when a
public hearing was held on the bill
to abolish these boards. Secretary Nc
Lean of the Hudson county board,
declared that duplicate tax books had
been sent for the purposes of decep-
tion in some places before the advent
of the county boards in 1905. The
method of appeal to the state board,
as formerly the custom, was a system
both cumbersome and ineffective.
Correction was made, asserted Mr..
Young, Of Cape May county, by the
present county board whore inequali-
ties had been found to exist in the
levying of taxes The old method of
having committee pass on its own
assessments was a disgraceful sys-
tenn, and the only charge that should
be made from the present system
should be step in advance. Chaos is
to result If the boards be abolished.
Nonresident property owners had for
msrly been Disseminated against In
favor Of the resident tax payers, as
serted Mr.. Young.
For Monmouth County.
Counselor Thomas P. Fay of Long
Branch, representing some of the lar
gest property owners in Monmouth
County, gave figures to show how the
ratabies had increased when the coun-
ty board started it's work and told of
an instance where one property had
doubled the assessment of one adjoin-
ing until an equalization had been
ma1a nv the preSant hoard.
Major Carl Lentz, of Newark, said
he appeared neither for nor against
the bill, but, at the request Of the city
counsel of Newark, James Nugent, he
spoke to explain the taxing system. He
asked what is to replace the county
board if it be abolished The reply
was that the boards that were former
ly elected in the counties would be
revived according to the law. He gave
totals to show how the valuation of
property had been increased. He said
personally he favored the county
boards as at present and gave instances
where discrimination had been prac
ticed by local boards.
The committee also took up the bill
to abolish the Board of Equalization
of Taxes and replace it by a state
court of three judges to review assess
ments. Major Lentz, who had been a
member of the former board sixteen
years, favored this change. He said
three men can work better than five,
the number on the equalization board.

one third class steamer and one
combination hose and chemical

ed last night by the Board of Alder
men to the American La France
