ALLOW REQUESTS OF sEAC0AsT
TOWNS To ERECT JEH|ES FOR
PROTECTION DURING STORMS

State Harbor Commissioner w. P.
Runyon, Of this district, which ex-
tends from Constable Hook to Bay
Head, and includes all waters run
ming through and adjacent to this
section of the state, has just APPROX
ed applications from seaport cities
along the New Jersey coast, which
call for the erection OF concrete jet
ties to cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. The jetties are to protect
these places from the devastations of
the ocean waves, such as was expe-
r.enced by Sea Bright last winter.
The applications to the New Jersey
Harbor Commission were signed by
Mr.. Runyon as commissioner from
this district, and will be formally
approved by the state body.
Asbury Park requested sanction of
a plan to construct three concrete
jetties to cost $4,000, Springlike
asked for permission to construct
twenty concrete jetties into the

TURKS fire ON u. S. Launch:
TENNESSEE SAFE PASSING
THROUGH MINED HARB0R
TAKE STEPS To RAISE
CITY OFFICIALS PAY

Efforts are being exerted to have
the salaries of the mayor, members
of the Board of Aldermen and the
recorder increased, beginning early
the coming year. The agitation has
been under way since the election
was held and 1t is believed that 1t
will be the, principal subject at an
adjourned meeting of the Board of
Aldermen to be held Monday night.
Mayor Ferd Garretson is receiv-
ing but two-thirds as much as his
predecessor got, showing that the
mayors salary has decreased instead
of increased as the city grew and the
executives duties become more num-
erous. Mr.. Garretson is receiving
$1,000 year, whereas former
Mayor Bollsch weller received $500
a year. A cut was made during an
acting mayoralty squabble and i'm
mediately after that Mr.. Garretson
served year as alderman at large
and mayor, but accepted pay only as
alderman at large. 1t appears to be
the conclusion among city officials
and other interested citizens who
have come to the mayor since elec-
ton that his salary should be about
81, year.
Likewise it is claimed by most of
the aldermen and by other interest
ed residents of the city that the sal
aries of the aldermen should be
raised several hundred dollars a
year. Alderman-at-Large w. Guy
Weaver is now receiving $500 year
and his colleagues on the board are
receiving $500 year each. Men in
back of the salary boosting project,
declare that the alderman at large
should receive at least $1,000 q
year and the salary of the aldermen
should be raised to 5000 or $500
year. The duties of all of the city
fathers, who include the mayor, are
tedious and nerve racking at times,
the officials declare. They are al
most constantly bothered In addition
to having to give their time for the
discharge of their official duties.
In reply to the statement often
made that there are men ready to
serve the city for less than is now

Elijah Hardy, seventy-two, of 712
Mary street, was paroled by Ser
geant Dunham for a hearing tomor-
row morning on the charge of re-

Three of the men held yesterday

wholesale robbery of freight cars on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, were re-

David Shumsky, a junkman, of 449
New Brunswick avenue, was released

81, 900 bail on the charge of receiv-

Bernard Bolowsky, thirty-three
years old, of 429 New Brunswick ave-
nue., who was also charged with re-

UNITE
IN WAR BENEFIT

Practically all of the Hebrew So
cieties of the city have joined in a
cohcerted effort to lend aid to He
brews of other countries who may be
suffering because of the European
war. Twenty-four delegates. repre-
senting ten organizations, assembled
in the headquarters of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association last night
and began the work A permanent
organization was formed and officers
were elected, Arrangements were
made for dividing the city into work
ing districts and committee was
named to apnoint workers.
The organization was formed un-
der the auspices of Workingmen's s
Circle No. 95. The members sent
out broad appeal in this city and
requested that all Hebrew organiza-
tions send representatives in order
to form a union for the aid of war
sufferers. The response was gfatify-

paid, an official states that this is un-
doubtedly true, but it must be borne
in mind that there are numerous
willing candidates whom the people
would not have if they, the candi-
dates, paid a thousand dollars for the
privilege of serving. Practically all
of the aldermen seem to be in favor
of increases for the mayor, aldermen
and recorder. One states that 1t is
ridiculous to think that the city pays
the six aldermen 81, 800 a year, wnen
one, John ]. Clark, the chairman of
the committee on streets and sewers,
really earns more than that for what
he does for the city during a year.
An ordinance has been prepared
to increase the salary of Recorder
H. E. Pickersgill from $1,000 to
$1,000 year. 1t is expected that it
will be brought up for action at the
council meeting Monday night.
Alderman-at-large w. Guy Weaver
and Alderman John w. Kelly took a
stand against increasing salaries of
members of the council when seen
today. They claimed that the strain
of the times, the fact that salaries
were in some cases being reduced in
stead of raised, that it was impossi-
BILE to sell city bonds and the city
had to borrow money on a six per
cent, basis, were good reasons why
such increases should not be made.
Mr.. Weaver maintained that if the
aldermen were complaining about
not getting enough money for what
they had done the last year or two,
they need not worry much about the
future, for he concluded they would
have much less to do during the COM
ing season.
The only members of the Board of
Aldermen who would be benefited by
any increase provided for next year
are John J. Clark, William c. Wilson
and f. William Hilker. 1t is said
that four aldermen are in favor of
making increases. Mayor Garretson
stated today that he believed a state
law would not permit the city to pay
the alderman-at-large more than
$500 year.

A committee of five was named to

plans for same will have to be ap-
proved by the commission, because
of that body's jurisdiction over all
New Jersey waters. Mr.. Runyon has
sent a copy of the law to the Board
of Freeholders.
Mr.. Runyon has also signed an
application made by the Keansburg
Steamboat Company, requesting per-
mission to dredge on both sides of
its dock at Keyport. and to use the
excavated mud to fill in certain dan
gerous holes about Keansburg,

The state body was scheduled to
hold public meeting in the Board
of Works headquarters in Newark
yesterday, but it was postponed. The
meeting was for the purpose of dis
cussing the Central Railroad New

been many complaints about the
present structure as being made
quate and concerning its supports
blocking traffic when the bay is con-
gested with ice.

be deemed necessary in the matter.
The report from Captain Decker,
according to information made pub
lie by Secretary Daniels, said that
his boat" had been fired on At
first it was interpreted as meaning
the cruiser Tennessee herself, but
later the officials of the bureau OF
navigation interpreted it as meaning
that it was one of the cruisers
launches. Secretary Daniels, inadis-
cussing the matter, said
THE information we have at the
present time is indefinite. That az
shot was fired is all that we know.
Whether 1t was fired with hostile :n-
tent or as a warning Is yet TO be eaa.
planned by Captain Decker Smyrna
is now a closed port. The presnmp-
tion Is that 1t is mined. The land
force may have fired a shot either to
prevent the launch or even the possf-
bility of the Tennessee itself from
entering the harbor ST from running
ON a mine field. hope this may be
the case, but in any event we cannot
take any steps n the matter until we
have the official facts before u.s.
