Auto Trucks Cannot Use
Staten Island Ferry Here

E. A. English, supervisor Of the
Marine Division of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company of New York
Terminal properties, made an inspec-
ton of the bridge on the ferry dock
of the Staten Island ferry, and issued
orders hat no truck with or without
a load weighing more than five tons
could pass over 1t.
The orders have greatly interfered
with traffic, and as they came out of
a clear sky. without any notice what
ever. q number of large trucks were
refused admittance on h bridge,
even after they hay purchased their
tickets. The trucks were made to de-
tour across into Staten Island by way
of the Carteret ferry. All of the large
trucks running between Philadelphia
and New York city. which formerly
passed through this city. are now
making the trip by the way OF the
Carteret boat.
Although on the ferry houses both
here and Tottenville. large signs lave
been displayed for some time past, no
tifying the truck drivers that trucks
over 1--WE tons could not pass over
the bridge, they paid no attention to
the sign, and until the ticket takers
were ordered this week to not allow
the trucks on the bridge travel had
been going on as usual.
The company is considering the
building of a new bridge here that
will be able to take care Of this
travel.

the historical associations are protest
Ing against their removal.
1t has already been suggested that
the Albert Memorial would be OF more
use in the shape OF munitions than In
fits present form. but a writer In the
Star goes further and suggests that
all the statues erected from the time
OF George I TO the Prince Consort
should be melted down and adds that
they would not be missed, because the
majority Of them represent Germans.

Last nights meeting at Newfield Methodist church was the best so far in the series being conducted by the William A. Sunday Evangelistic As- sociation of New York Dr. Colby was called home in the morning on account of the illness of his mother, but the pulpit was occupied by Rev. J. Robert Clark of Kearney, N. J., who produced a profound impression on his audience. His subject was "The Good Samaritan" and he drew many importatn lessons showing the pitfalls of sin and the way of safety. He was witty and earnest, causing tears or smiles at will. The singing went with a will, led by violin, cor net, organ and a strong chorus.
 Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 a great patriotic service will be held when Major Raymond, U. s. A., Dr. Colby and Frank Goodman will speak. Ma jsor Raymond is considered one of the strongest speakers on the platform.
 At night at 7:30, Frank Goodman, the converted gambler, will tell some of his past life in the underworld of New York and how he came to hit the sawdust trail when Billy" Sum day gave the invitation. MT. Good man has thrilling story that should be heard by all.
