syeosaE 20 the EVBNING NEWS.
South Amboy, March 6.-Here
are some questions for consideration
by our city fathers.
Now that bids for paving Broad
way are to be received, and work
should o 0 be started, has any
been taken to see that all
properties along that street are con-
nected with the sewers, that all
water and gas connections are made
and arrangements completed with
the Public Service Company for
reiayfng their track and assumption
OF d proper proportion Of the as
sessrnent. These matters should be
dennitely and finally settled that
there may be no delay.
What is the matter with the Me-
chanicsville section OF the sanitary
sewer? Just prior to last November
this was a very live topic, which
leads some to surmise 1t was q poiit-
fcal noise rather than q sounding
or the sincere sentiments OF the gov
erning body. The people OF Mechan-
icsviIle, who pay taxes are entitled
to these facilities and prompt action
should be taken to provide same
What steps, ii any, are being con-
sidered for putting the Public Dock
In proper condition? BY no means
should the people be deprived of the
pleasure afforded by this structure.
notwithstanding 1t Is not q source
OF revenue to the city. All cities
claiming any prominence at all are
taking steps towards providing parks
and recreation piers for the inhab-
ttants. Our city has nothing of this
character other than the public
dock and steps should be taken to
properly maintain 1t for the use Of
the people IL nothing else. 1t might
be well for our municipal authori-
ties to consider the advisahiltty OF
providing proper railing and running
q line OF electric lights out on the
pier.
ggunnmer Is near at hand. What la
to be done with the dust the CON-
Ing season. Are the people to be
compelled to subsist on the dust
from the streets another season?
This is q mattr that should receive
the prompt attention of Il munici-
pal fathers.
What action Is to be taken to elm
mate the nuisance caused by the
limbs Of trees striking people In the
face and running vehicles passing
through our streets? Every property
owner should be compelled to prop

FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED
 TO WEST MAIN STREET
SmouIdering Rags Caused Small Fire
 Just Across from Station.

A bell alarm from box 14 called out the fire department at 5.40 Thursday afternoon for a small blaze in the block owned by Abraham Jacobson on West Main street, opposite the West Main street fire station. It is a tene ment building occupied by about a dozen families, and the fire, though insignificant and resulting in only a few dollars damage, resulted in con siderable of an uproar in that quarter. Plumbers had been at work in the building and the smoke came from a smouldering pile of old rags lying near bath tub, The rags had probably been quietly burning for some time before they burst into flame. The blaze ate it's way into the wall nearby, and the firemen had to do a little ehopping into the woodwork to get at the blaze, Then the fire was quickly extinguished with chemical from Chemical Ne, and from the aute- chemical, which was there only few seconds after the men from just across the street By the time the whole apparatus was on hand the fire was put out.
 This was the second alarm of the l month, the first having been a tele- phone alarm on Tuesday for fire in pile of sawdust below the Dawley l lumber yards. The automobile chem | ical was sent down, but the blaze was ! put out by the firemen by means of
 water dipped from the river. The | sawdust was evidently set on fire by 1 sparks from a passing locomotive.

THAMES RIVER NOT
 ION THE HIGH SEAS
Barge Captain Was Arrested and Fin.
 ed for Obstreperous Conduct.

Holding in vain to the technicality that he was 'on the high seas when his barge was moored 12 feet from Central warf, in the Thames river, and that therefore he was beyond the arm of the law as far as the Norwich po- lice were concerned, Captain William Roe, hailing from Lewiston. Me, was brought to headquarters Wednesday night, charged with intoxicatioD and breach of the peace. by Sergeant Mat thews and Officer Thomas Murphy. The city statutes indicate that the Nor wich police have jurisdiction over the river down as far as Poquetanuck Cove and from its mouth across the river northwesterly to the Norwich and Montville boundary. In the city court the captain was fined $2 and costs for each charge, and he left with a clearer knowledge of one phase of maritime law.
 Evan Evans. charged with non-sup- port, agreed to contribute sS a week for the care of his family of minors out of his earnings of SPA a week as a mason.

Derby Against Hassam Pavement.

Derby Against Hassan Pavement.
 Replying to the same questions, Street Commissioner NJ. H. Manion of Derby which has had the Hassam pavement, wrote that the pavement was slippery. that it contained holes, and that he would not recommend Nor wich to use it on a principal street with car track in the middle Derby had laid no more of the Hassam pave ment within five years, because it was too slippery.
 From his own experience, therefore. and from that of road builders in gen. eral, Mir. Donovan believes that care ful consideration should be given to the matter before the Hassam pave ment is put it. It will be much easier to lay it than to tear it out
