session of the principals and their at
torneys in the suit, Mr.. Jensen agreed
through his lawyer, to retract In open
court any words which he may have
used in a certain heated discussion on
the eighteenth day of March which
the alderman considered derogatory
to his character and rejecting on his

ceedings was borne by both sides.
After the private session above

arose and stated the manner in which

stated that the conversation became
heated as Mr.. Jensen an automobile
dealer, complained to the alderman
about their letting the contract for

Mr.. Stricken stated then the alleged
declaration occurred. Mr.. Jensen s
counsel further declared that his
client had no desire to attack the in
tegrity of the plaintiff. and that in
the conversation he said nothing that
he meant to reflect upon the honesty
Of Mr.. Clark. Therefore, since Mr..
Clark had stated that the action WAS

HARMED GAINS
OVER SPENCER
Court Decision Regarding
County Tax Board Secretaries

Trenton. May 29.-Following the
rule laid down by Justice Kallsch In
the Supreme Court, the Civil Service
Commission has decided to place In
the unclassified service the secretary
OF all county tax boards in the state.
The ruling Of the court was that
these officers are chosen for a specific
term and therefore are not protected
by civil service.
This ruling will affect the Middle
sex situation where w. A. Spencer,
was ousted by the county tax board
and J. Edward Harmed Of Wood
bridge, was appointed in his place.
Mr.. Spencer claimed he was protected
by civil service and appealed to the
state board. Decision was handed
down in his favor, declaring that he
should be reinstated. With the new
ruling 1t is believed the action of the
tax board in ousting Spencer will
now be sustained and Harmed will
get Spencer's place.

MANY GOING IN AUTOS

Mayor Ferd Garretson, aided by
other city officials and public spir-
tied citizens, Is endeavorin< to form
as large a procession as possible to
go by automobile to Trenton next
Tuesday morning to represent the
city in its determined fight for the
elimination of certain dangerous
railroad crossings here. To that end
he has communicated with a number
of municipal bodies and several city
welfare organizations in an effort to
secure large representation and has
appointed Isaac Alpern q committee
of one to solicit automobile service
from car owners.
Mr.. Alpern sent out thirty letters
yesterday apepaling to as many local
automobile owners to donate their
machines for conveying city repre-
sentatives to Trenton Tuesday morn
ing. He urgently requested them to
take their cars out and go, or allow
them to be used for this good pur-
pose. In his first batch Of mail this
morning he received half dozen IA
vorable replies. He expects that
about fifteen cars will be secured.
They will start from State and Smith
streets at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Each will cary flag with Perth
Amboy" on them. These will be
supplied by Mayor Garretson.
Among the principal bodies which
have arranged to send delegations
are the Board of Aldermen, the
Board OF Water Commissioners, the
Board Of Trade, the Building Trades
Association and the Western I'M
provement Association.
The hearing in question Is sched-
uled to be started at II o'clock be-
fore the Board Of Public Utility
Commissioners. Strong arguments
will be presented by the city for the
elimination of grade crossings along
the lines of the Central and Lehigh
Valley railroads. 1t Is evident from
the nature of replies filed by the rail-
road companies interested that a
stiff fight will be put up against rem
dering any such relief. The railroads
have completed taking a count or
traffic over the various crossings
concerned. The city took q count
several months ago, one-day
count was taken by the city the lat
ter part of last week and the early
part of this week to determine the
increase in traffic at this time.
