Some Think Penna. Railroad

Says Road is Not.
CAN BACK UP STATEMENT
Many South Amboyans Dis
posed to Look Upon Offer
of improvements.
- -
1T SHOULD BE ACCEPTED
improvements Upwards OF
100000 Should Not be
Turned Down, Many Think.

After the arrival OF Saturdays is
sue of the EVENING NEWS, setting
forth what is declared to be the oner
made by the Pennsylvania railroad 10
eliminate the deplorable conditions
on the private right of way and at
the hole-in-the-wall this because
the principal week end topic OF dis
cussion In South Amboy.
MANY interesting comments have
been made on the purported oner,
some people characterizing 1t as a
bluff and others refusing to believe
that such a one-sided offer had Deen
made on the part of the railroad.
Ready to Back Assertions.
Last night Councilman-at-Large
Collin Stratton, who is making a
strenuous effort to effect the needed
improvements, reiterated all the
statements made in his published In
terview, and said that he was pre-
pared to back any assertion he had
made.
Many South Amboyans are dis
posed to look upon the offer as
means of bringing about the long-de-
Iayed improvements, and are anxious
to see some action taken on the prop
ositien. The sentiment Of the com
munity at large seems to be that II
the proposition really has been made
to the council and that ii the rail-
road company will live up to 1T, the
city fathers should not hesitate one
moment on the offer. The resolution
submitted to the council at its last
regular meeting, it is understood,
does not clinch any agreement TO
take over the Pennsylvania right OF
way. It asks that the railroad COM
pany improve that thoroughfare and
submit plans and specifications for
the improvements at the hole-in-the-
wall Upon the completion of these
Improvem ents, the city is to take
over and maintain the improved
right of way.
Some residents of the city are In
cHned to look upon the offer with
suspicion merely because of what
they term its something for moth
ing'' nature. They believe that the
railroad company wants the city to
take over the right of way on promise
of relief at the hole-in-the-w wall, and
that after the surrender of the road,
the company will neglect to widen
and improve the hole-in-the-wail.
The common council tabled the reso-
luton because the right of way i'm
provements and surrender was men
toned before the hole-in-the-wall.
This matter, according to Council
man Stratton, can be adjusted so that
the resolution can possibly find no
opposition in the council.
In the meantime discussion over
the proposition is rife, and the peo-
pie of South Amboy, especially those
living in Mechanicsville, are clamor-
Ing for Improvements, regardless of
whether the Pennsylvania railroad or
Bomeone else pays for them.
