TechnicaIity Whereby Offer
of Freeholders Gees Over.
specfaI 10 che EvENIye NEWS

Special to the EVEFING NEWS
South Amboy, Aug. 24:-Finding
a technicality that gave an excuse
for further delay of action on the
proposition of the Board of Free
holders to take over three of the
present city thoroughfares, the
South Amboy city council last night
again laid over the matter of allevi-
ating the deplorable road conditions
at the hole-in-the-wall.
City Clerk Mack read a communi-
cation from the clerk of the Board
of Freeholders, enclosing certified
copies of three resolutions providing
for the taking over by the board of
the upper portion of Main street,
Ridgeway avenue, and the upper
portion OF Bordentown avenue. Up
on motion of Councilman Slower the
communication was referred to the
council as a committee Of the whole
and a recess was taken to consider
it.
Upon reconvening a motion was
passed returning the resolutions to
the Board of Freeholders for proper
notation, setting forth that copy
had been filed with the county clerk.
City Solicitor Francis P Coan ex-
planned that the law provided that
within thirty days certified copy
of the resolutions must be filed with
the county clerk, and as the council
had had no information on this
point, the resolutions should be re-
turned to the county board. The
vote OF the council on the motion
was unanimous.
Councilman Slower stated that 1t
was intended To have the budget
ready to present at this meeting, but
as the preparation had been delayed
1t would be necessary to defer its
presentation until the next meeting.

Card of Thanks.

l wish to extend my thanks to the
Fire Department for the very prompt
and efficient work done at the fire on
Sunday morning in my Market street
house occupied by DR.. E. X. Hansen.
The way the firemen got the fire
under control was remarkable, as
the evidence shows that the place
was a roaring furnace when discov-
cred.
am convinced that we are as
thoroughly protected With our vol
unteer fire department in this city as
the larger cities are with their paid
departments. l do not see any eu-
cuse for high insurance rates with
such excellent protection as we have
here. With many thanks to the fire.
