such hearing, the executive stated
that he was considering it seriously
and IL 1t was definitely decided to
have one, 1t would be held after the
council meeting Monday.

members of the council that Mayor
Garretson would veto the resolution
providing for the purchase of the
Merritt tract. When asked about
this question, Mr.. Garretson said he
had nothing to say at present, the
resolution not being in his hands as
yet, but he expected to make a state
ment in the course of week. Mr.

considering the holding of a public
hearing was the fact that SO many
people had approached him the past
few days with arguments on parks.
Three hundred petitioners of the
first ward are declared to have AL
ready signed requests to the mayor
and Board of Aldermen asking that
the property known as Wonderland
Beach, situated between lower Mad

PUBLICAN CLUB TO NAME


officers for the Perth Amboy Re-
publican Club are scheduled to be
elected at the new meeting of the
organization Thursday night, May 6.
1t is expected that subjects appertain-
ing to the coming fall election will
also be taken up at that time. Real
izing their opportunity, the Repub-
licans declare that they are going out
after control of the city in the fall.
They appear confident of winning in
the fourth ward and believe that they
can carry the sixth. On the other
hand it is reported among promi-
nent Democrats that their side is
confident of winning back the alder
man-at-largeship and aldermen in
the second and sixth wards. 1t is
now declared among Democrats and
Republicans alike that Alderman
Chris Jorgensen has become a great
favOrite in the sixth ward and that
his election is just as certain as the
elections of Alderman John W.
Kelly in the second and Alderman-at-
Large w. Guy Weaver.
When the Perth Amboy Republican
Club held it's meeting in the early
part of this month it was complained
that its election should have been
held in March. According to a re-
port from one member it was said be-
forehand that it was doubtful there
would be a meeting in March owing
to the fact that there would be little
Of Importance for consideration. In
the early part of this month it was
announced that the present officers
would probably continue to serve.
Thus far the members of the Repub-
lcan Club have not announced any
likely candidates for the sixth ward
lldeTmanship. When questioned
eaders declare that the territory is

G. Sofield that a six inch main
should be run to supply the propos-
ed hydrant to be placed at the city

board decided to ask the fire conN-
mittee of the Board of Aldermen to
bear one-half the expense of INSTALL
ing the main and the fire plug. be-
cause same would be used by the fire
department and be considered as any
other city fire plug. AS there was
but one bid received estimating the
cost of constructing a fire escape at
the building ON the city dock prop
