slon-- Water, Division, First

Smith and State Under
ground Pension Ordinance

1t was practically decided to pave
Water, Division and First streets
and one block of Lewis street, the
police pension ordinance was COM
pleted and favored and there were
lengthy discussions on other import
ant subjects at a committee meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night.
A movement was started to have

Another movement was started to
open Antoine street easterly under
the tracks of the Central and Penn
sylvania railroads to State street,
so as to make another connecting
link from Amboy avenue to State
street in the northern part of the
city. 1t was practically decided to
introduce an ordinance for the ex-
tension of Convery Place, together
with that for police pensions at the
coming meeting OF the board Mon
day night. Another one may be-
drafted and made ready for introduce
ton at the same time, to curb the
promiscuous ripping up of street
pavements.
The street and sewer problem Is
one that has puzzled the aldermen
for weeks back. Numerous petit
tions have been filed and up until
last night the city fathers were at
loss as to determine Just what to
do. They practically decided to pave
on Water street, Division street,
First street and Lewis street. There
may be some delay on paving Water
street between Smith and Gordon
streets because public sewer needs
to be laid there, between Lewis and
High streets because of the neces-
sity Of constructing bulkheads. AS

dents along Water street to have an
attractive boulevard made OF the

nue. and Broad sreet; First street.,

law, 1t Is believed two or more sur
faces must be advertised for.

The running OF a heavy feed wire
on local streets by the Public ssr-'
vice to send electricity to South
Amboy caused the aldermen TO take
steps to have a net work Of aerial
wires removed from the city's prin-
cipal corner. 1t is expected that
all wires therea bouts with the ex-
ception of the ovearhead trolley wire
will be ordered placed under groupd

Have Been Secured.
MANY HAVE VIOLATED
Building Inspector Declares
He Wants to See Material

Contractors must cease to start
buildings before permits have been
secured. Building Inspector Michael j.

tabs on delinquent contractors and
property owners.

struct headers and trimmers at least
two inches from any chimney, fue or
the like and that fire stops must be
placed between beams on all floors Of
houses erected to house more than one
family. These are things that contrac-
tors and builders have often been ne
glectful in and he wishes it thorough
ly understood that he will tolerate it
no longer.
To prevent builders from starting
actual work on new buildings before
permits have been issued the building
inspector may endeavor to have some
u 1ho fioidtoie prosecuted anu Hneu.
Offending parties may be fined $25 for
the first offense and $5 for each day
the violation continues.
Mr.. Mcnamara says he does not OBJ
ject to having excavation started be-
fore plans are filed, but practice es-
tablished, by some, Of having building
half completed before plans are fled,
must be stopped, he declares. He
wants to see what material is used in
each building and he wants to see how
it Is constructed.
