To PAVE PART Of
AMB0Y AVENUE
Give Notice of Intention for AS
pha!t Block Surface.

Despite the fact. that the plan to
level and resurface the larger por-
tons of Amboy and New Brunswick
avenues were held up at the regular
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
Monday night the council did adopt
a resolution to give public notice of
intention for paving Amboy avenue,
from New Brunswick avenue to the
northerly line of st. Mary's ceme-
terry. This action was considered
by some people to be good, but 9TH
ers, especially residents along New
Brunswick avenue, concluded that If
it was impossible at this time to
pave the proposed stretch on Amboy
avenue and for a distance up to Con
very Place on New Brunswick ave-
nue., the Amboy avenue territory
might be cut down to end at Hall
avenue. Mayor Ferd Garretson and
Alderman William Wilson approved
of such a change, SO as to afford re-
lief along both tsreets.
The proposition to repair the pres
ent macadam and resurface it from
the end of the proposed pavement on
Amboy avenue to the city line and on
New Brunswick avenue, from the
westerly boundary line easterly, are
held in allegiance Indefinitely pending
a decision regarding the use of some
durable. top dressing Members of
the Board of Trade and Western
improvement Association expressed
contentious at the aldermanIc meet
ing that the proposed work was in
sufficient and that the Job would
amount to next to nothing SO far as
durability was concerned.
In view of the fact that the reso-
luton to give notice of intention TO
pave Amboy avenue specified asphalt
block, there may be considerable op-
position to the use of such a sur
face, especially on the hill part. OPP
position has already been expressed
against the use of so smooth a sur
face on an incline.

Investigation at City Property
by Harbor Board.

President Richard A. Bolger and
Commissioner John G. Donehue, Of
the Board of Harbor Commissioners
a committee appointed at the meet
ing of the board Monday night, went
to the Ely-Norris Safe Company's 8
plant in Front street, yesterday af-
ternoon, to check the inventory of
the property recently purchased by
the city.
At the meeting of the board Mon
day night Harbor Master Flynn, who
looks after the property, reported
that the safe company was removing
its plant to Philadelphia and de-
clared that certain timbers were be-
ing taken down. The committee was
appointed tC secure the inventory of
the property purchased by the city
from G. C. Baldwin, and check same.
This was done yesterday afternoon
and Mr.. Bolger declared this morn
ing that the safe company had only
removed what was proper. He stated
that there were certain timberS
taken down in the removal of ma
chinery, which he considered perfect
ly legitimate. The management of
the safe company, they believed, was
conscientiously leaving everything
that could be claimed by the city.

BABY MAY CD To
HEC0UNTY JAIL
Spent Most of Its Life in Jail
With Mother.

The seven months old babe of
Mrs. Catherine Smith, an abandoned
woman of this city, is doomed to
spend three more months of its in
fant life In the confines Of the county
Jail, unless compassion for the little
boy is extended by some one. When
arraigned before Recorder Pickers-
gill this morning, Mrs. Smith was
sentenced to serve ninety days in the
county Jail, and the mother with the
babe in her arms was later taken to
the county seat prison in company
with two male prisoners by City Mar
shall Desmond.
The police declare this to be the
most deplorable and pitiable case
that has come to their attention In
many years. February 10, the child
was found in the custody of two
drunken and maudlin women about
O'Clock at night by Mounted Patrol
man Hartung in a house in the north
western section Of the city. The
child was on the floor, where it had
been the toy of small dog, which
had chewed It's hairless head and
trampled 1t, Mrs. Smith and man
to whom she was not married
were sent to the county jail to await
the action of the grand jury for
adultery and fornication, and Lillian
McGhee, the other abandoned wo-
man, was sentenced to serve thirty
days in the county Jail.
Mrs. Smith and the babe were kept
in the county Jail more than two
months, and II the woman serves the
time allotted by the recorder this
morning, the babe will have served
between five and six of It's first ten
months ON earth in the county Jail,
because of the perversion of It's
mother.
The little babe has already been in
three prisons, the Woodbridge, Perth
Amboy and county Jail.
Following a raid conducted on an
alleged disreputable house at Hope
lawn by the Woodbridge police Mon
day night, two young men and two
abandoned women of this city were
taken in custody. When arraigned
in the recorders court yesterday one
of the women, giving her name as
Mrs. McGhee, was fined $40; Frank
Benas, s25, and William Hisler, $40.
They will have serve sixty, thirty
and sixty days in Jail, respectively,
unless they produce the amount of
the fines. The raid was conducted
by Officers Eagan and Choler. The
other woman bore babe between
seven and nine months of age In her
arms, and was released on the in
