BIG BILL WOULD BE PUBLISHER
OF A NEWSPAPER

The mayor is going to get even
with the criticising press. He's going
to start his own paper to tell of the
glories of the administration. 1t will
be called the Chicago Republican.
So much about the newspaper ven
ture is known to be fact. Then fol-
lows oodles of rumors, gossip and
guesses about the family newspaper
of the city hall.
One tale says that the Saturday
Telegram, an anaefnic weekly sport
sheet which has failed several times
under different managements, will be
taken over.
Another rumor is to the effect that
"a new paper will be put upon the
field. It's news will be written by the
press agents of the Thompson clique,

its advertisements will be procured
by City Hall men with influence and
its subscription will come from ward
committeeman, 1,5O0 of them.
The base of, the Saturday Tele-
gram story is in the fact that it's
management has been recently taken
over by Arthur V. Eilert, former press
manager for Thompson. A definite
rumor among newspaper men holds
that the Telegram would soon be on
the newsstands again, although it
had been barred by court order,

to reports in circulation about Tren-
ton yesterday. 1t was stated that In
view of the doctors good work in

DR.. Ramsay's work, both as as

OVER
FL0WS;PLAN To
RAISE It 3OFEE1

Following a flood at Ernston yes
terday morning when the water de-
partment's 140,000-gallon standpipe
overfiowed and washed out big gull
lies in the surrounding property and
along the turnpike, superintendent
Thomas Grieve, of the department,
this morning declared the standpipe
should be enlarged and expects to
recommend same to the water board
at its next meeting.
Superintendent Grieve had several
laborers filling in the big holes wash
ed out by the food, which made a
deep gully along the thoroughfare
and threatened to wash away the
road bed.
Several thousand gallons of spring
water flowed over the top rim of the
tank during two and one-half hours.
AS there are no houses in the vicin-
ity no material damage was done ex-
cept the washing out of gullias in the
sugre'asiss issAafflTs iissss5 ..asp the eating
away of portion of lg,dE Neyol the
roadway. The workmen OF the de-
partment, however, filled in these
wash-outs. The flood coming in the
dead of the early morning was not
discovered by the night engineer i'm
mediately, but when the indicators
warning signal was learned he took
immediate steps to stop the waste of
water, reducing the pressure so that
the overflow was quickly checked.
Mr.. Grieve stated this morning
that the twelve million gallon pump.
which had been used steadily for a
long time had been shut down for
overhauling, and would probably not
be in operation until Friday. He said
that the eight million and four mil
lion auxiliary pumps at the water
shed were put in operation during
the interim. He said that the two
pumps send more air into the main
leading to the standpipe than the one
pump, and that thereby an unusual
amount of air was conveyed to the
standpipe to the emitted before 1t is
sent to the mains leading to the city.
He said this extraordinary amount
of air engendered by two pumps
made the standpipe more liable to
overflow than when only one pump
was working.
Mr.. Grieve said the standpipe is
only sixty feet high, and should be
increased in height to ninety feet. He
said that when the north western sec
ton builds up this will be necessary
to keep a sufficient amount of water
in the standpipe on the poor farm. At
present the standpipe is kept about
half full, which for the number of
users in the northwestern section at
present, Mr.. Grieve says affords a
sufficient pressure.
The regular meeting of the water
board scheduled for tonight will be
formally adjourned bv Clerk Peter
Kruger, who will go to the city hall
for that especial purpose. 1t will be
adjourned until next Wednesday
night, when bids will be received for
a twelve million gallon pump for
the Runyon watershed.

CITY OPPOSES
IN THE HOUSE

Represented by Judge Adrian
Lyon, the Perth Amboy Board of
Trade made objection to assembly
bill No. 249, at the hearing before
the house legislative committee in
Trenton yesterday. Since the author
of the bill, Assemblyman Boland,
now favors an amendment which
would overcome the principal objec-
tion of the local merchants, 1t is pro-
able that the form of the bill will be
changed to allow eleven hours work
by female employees of mercantile es-
tablishments to be performed within
thirteen consecutive hours Satur-
days. The bill In its present form
limits female labor to fifty-five hours
week and ten hours a day.
Those from this city at the hearing
were George F. Reynolds OF Reynolds

representing the Boston store, and
Secretary Hugh Lynch, of the Board
of Trade. The New Jersey Confec-
toners Association and the Asbury

GET OPTION ON
PROPERTY FOR
NEW CITY HOTEL

An option dated March is, 1915,
to continue in force for sixty days,
on the property at the southeast
corner OF Madison avenue and Mar
ket street, has been signed by James
J. Nash, of Plainfield, and Doan &
Hustrad, of New York. The New
\ ork men are said to be representa-
tives of Chicago hotel promoters,
who are now arranging the erection
of a thirty-two-story hotel at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-eighth street, New
York. 1t is the intention of the
parties, it is declared. to purchase
the local property and erect a five or
six-story hotel on the site.
1t is their plan to construct a hotel
to contain hundred or more rooms
and make 1t modern in every particu-
lar.
Option Given by Nash.
The option was given by Mr.. Nash,
of Planifield, who holds the corner
property in trust for his children. 1t
is understood that the capital for the
enterprise is being furnished by two
Chicago financiers who are declared
to have furnished the money for the
construction of the thirty-two-story
hotel in the metropolitan city.
Mr.. Nash, in discussing the proba-
bility of an up-to-date hotel being
built here, said today that Perth Am
boy should have at least one real,
modern hotel, when the city's great
future is considered, as there are
many places in New Jersey with such
hostelry that have but little future
growth and progress in sight.

Associations Decide That All
Merchants Must be Progress
sive and Stand Expense of
Lights at Meeting Yesterday.

White ways are no more in the
City of Perth Amboy. Both of the
organizations operating on Sn~.th
street decided yesterday that all of
the merchants should be progressive
In that respect or the bright lights
would 60 out. AS a result the white
ways along Smith street, between
High street and Madison avenue,
were turned out last night by an
order passed through the local office
of the Public Service Electric Com
pany. The lights will remain out for
an indefinite period, a secretary of
one of the white way associations
said this afternoon and there is no
way of telling as to when the city
will have white ways again; perhaps
not until Billy Hilker's municipal
electric light plant is started. He
claimed that with this in operation
there would be extensive white ways
on Smith and State streets at a very
low charge to the merchants.
Officials of the white way associa-
tions declared that the bright lights
would burn no more, all because
sore Of the so-called progressive
merchants had failed to show their
progressiveness in connection with
white ways. The association operat-
ing between State and High streets
had difficulty in collecting from some
of the smaller merchants whof had
failed to pay the share they once
agreed to pay. The organization
operating between State, street and
Madison avenue concludegthat it has
operated long enough for the unpro-
gressive merchants in this district
who have been enjoying the fruits of
3their efforts for three years.
