EXPLAIN DELAY
TO DELEGATION
About 100 Residents in Con-
very Place Section Ask Al
dermen for Reasons.
CROWD ABOUT CITY HALL
Action Promised by Council
Monday Night Other Mat
ters Are Taken Up.

Under the impression that the
aldermen had side-tracked a propo-
sition to extend Convery Place be-
cause a resolution for appointment
of commissioners in condemnation
proceedings had been laid on the
table at their last meeting, about a
hundred property owners and resi-
dents from the western section Of
the city appeared at the committee
meeting of the Board Of Aldermen
last night and displayed indignation.
Several residents spoke of the long
delay In the proposition and wanted
to know what the city fathers were
going to do about it. The men had
held an indignation meeting a few
days ago and then decided that more
drastic means should be employed
to have the improvement brought
about.
Action Monday Night.
Aldermen Informed the assem-
blage last night that the resolution
In question would be taken from the
table for action Monday night and
one alderman emphasized the declar-
alton that such action would have
been taken whether or not the as
semblage had appeared to complain.
Among the spok esmen for the
property owners and residents were
Adolph Koyen, Martin Momberg,
MAIDS Dinesen and /. c. Ostergaard.
They spoke along the same lines,
complaining of the delay and ex-
pressing desire to know what
would be done and how soon action
could be expected They were In
formed by the aldermen that the
subject was being handled in man
ner deemed best and as rapidly as 1t
could be handled. The city fathers
stated there were at present final
negotiations under way with Pardee
interests for obtaining land IN an
amicable way for extending Convery
Place. The complainants will await
action of the council Monday night
and If undesirable intend to proceed
along new lines to secure the i'm
prOvement.
Train Drilling Nuisance.
Aldermen discussed the nuisance
of heavy train traffic and drilling
over the Lehigh Valley railroad at
New Brunswick avenue. This fol-
lowed the Convery Place subject, as
1t was stated that If Convery Place
had been extended a large amount
Of road traffic could use that course.
Traffic was claimed to be heavy on
New Brunswick avenue and a relief
necessary on the railroad. Acting
Mayor Garretson said it was indeed
disagreeable to have the Lehigh Val
ley freight station located where it
Is because Of the drilling across New
Brunswick avenue. The aldermen
decided to ask the railroad company
to improve conditions.
The council became interested in
deeper waterways in this locality. 1t
was practically decided to appoint a
committee and adopt resolutions to
promote the project. The city may
send representatives to attend a
hearing on the subject before the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors, to be held in New York
September "a.
Dog Catcher Used Decoy.
Dog Warden Ole Lind Olesen
must not use a decoy to attract dogs
so that he may catch them on th e
street, according to action taken last
night. He has been in the habit of
having dog on leash or attached
to hde wagon for this purpose. Act
ing Mayor Garretson will instruct
him to eliminate the practice. Nu-
merous complaints concerning the
same have been made to city officials.
