In Annual Report, Chief Burke
Commends Work Done by
Motorcycle Policeman

In his annual report which is now
being made up for this year. CHIEF
Burke will show the god work done In
this city by Motorcycle Policeman Ed
ward j. Morgan, who has arrested
hundreds of speeders and violators of
the automobile laws.
The fees to be turned over by the
city of Perth Amboy to the state alone
from eharrests made by Morgan and
other policemen will amount to about
50, 900 it is figured by the chief when
the report has been completed by the
end of the month.
To date the figures show that over
81. 800 has been paid in fines in this
city which is TO be turned over to the
state.
The chief is of the opinion that the
motorcycle policeman idea is a fine
one and he is going to ask that anoth-
er man be assigned to this work to
help Morgan and in this way the city
will have a motorcycle man on duty
both night and day.
Thousands of machines pass
through this city in a week and when
automobile violations take place the
motorcycle man and traffic officers
are on the job and the city and state
| benefit.
Chief Burke in his report will state
that II is best to keep the traffic po-
| licemen on duty all winter and not to
put them back on patrol as the alder
men had decided 10 do and that he has
| recently reorganized this department
The chief is also going to ask for a
| least three more men for the detective
bureau as the present year has proven
! that this branch OF the department
which consists OF only four men, il
| entirely too small and should be In
! creased. The aldermen seem in favol
OF this. They have discussed the mat
ter with the chief and plan to have n
head of the detective bureau the same
as other cities and from what can be
learned Detective Sergeant Lawrence
A. Long will shortly be named as cap
tain OF this department.
Detective Long IL one of the best de-
tectives in the department He IL the
! finger print man of the force and has
made many important arrests and
| knows hundreds OF criminals through
| out the United States

MINOR CHANGES
IN 1878 BUDGET
Board of Aldermen Hold Spe-
ciaI Session Yesterday and
Discuss City Affairs

special committee meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen was held at city
hall yesterday afternoon at which
time a number of minor changes were
made in the 1919 budget which is to
come up at the adjourned meeting of
the council tonight on its second and
final readings.
A communication consisting of four
pages OF closely typewriter matter
was received from Commissioner Dar-
by of the state comptroller's office at
Trenton, in which 1t was requested
that a number of changes be made
in the water board account so that
1t would conform with the state law,
and the aldermen did this.
The matter of raising the pay or
number of the city employees was again
taken up and fully discussed and from
what can be learned 1t Is understood
that all employees who have not al
ready been granted an increase Will pe
given more money.
The matter of buying the Alpine
cemetery was taken up and discussed
at some length, but as far as can be
learned there was no action beyond
general discussion.
The plan of the city doing It's own
collection OF garbage was discussed
and this may be taken UP again at
the meeting tonight. The street COM
mittee and Street Commissioner A. F.
Munoz have gone into this matter
carefully and 1t seems to be the gener-
al opinion of most OF the aldermen
that the city would not only save
great deal OF money by carting the
garbage themselves. but would be able
| TO do this work in a more sanitary
manner than the contractors.
| The aldermen plan some sort OF
suita BILE reception and monument for
the boys woh are now returning from
France TO this city and this matter
was gone into thoroughly and it is ex-
pected that they will bring 1t up fol
general discussion and some actor
, tonight.
Plans will also be made tonight To-
improvem ents to the fire and street de-
partments and various other matters
will come up.

Justice Bergen's Charges Re-
garding the Condition of Al
bany Street Bridge
FIND THOSE RESPONSIBLE
Trolley Cars Have to Unload
Passengers Before Going
Across the Draw

BY Special Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 16:-
That the grand jury should look into
the safety of the Albany street bridge
across the Raritan river and the Del
aware Sc Raritan canal, and that an
Indictment of the persons responsible
for its present condition should fol-
low, Justice James J. Bergen, of the
Supreme Court, this morning charged
that body. He said they should care
fully investigate the liability for its
present condition and indict those
who are responsible for 1t.
That he meant the Board of Free
holders was evident by the fact that
the highway over which the bridge
runs is in the hands OF the freehold
ers, and also by the fact that the
justice mentioned that body in the
course of his charge to the jurors.
The draw on the bridge has for
several months been In a condition
that is perilous to the public that
uses 1t. The trolleys running over
the bridge are at the present time
forced by an order of the Public
Utility Commissioners to discharge
their passengers at the beginning of
the draw, then proceed over the draw
anc again take up the passengers on
the other side.
The Board of Chosen Freeholders
has laid aside the question of re-
pairing the structure until such time
as war prices and war conditions al
low of their issuing bonds for the con-
which they are all agreed, Is the wis
est and most logical type for the
bridge.
Justice Bergen's charge to the
grand jury follows:
"One of the county highways is SO
obstructed or a bridge over 1t, is sc
maintained as not to be safe for pub
lie travel.
When 1t is the duty of the Board
of Freeholders to put bridge over 9
street intersecting a public highway
they must make and keep ii safe fol
all kinds of public travel and they
cannot ESCAPE liability by publishing
notice that the public uses the bridge
on their peril. If the bridge goes ou
OF repair. reasonable time should be
allowed for it's repair, but they have
no right to allow highway to become
in such condition as to be unsafe.
Some other persons or corpora
tions may be responsible because Of
the necessity for having a draw in
the bridge. l refer to the Albany
street bridge. The canal people have
a right to maintain a draw. If the
draw is put there by the canal people
then they must maintain that draw
in safe conditiin for public travel
"A public highway of that import
ance ought to be kept safe and some
where the duty lies to keep tha
bridge and draw In q safe condition
AS to liability, the public is bound tC
have that bridge in safe condition, bu
in a safe condition for public travel
peril.
1T is the part of those who hav,
the highways in charge to keep 4
safe and in good condition. If the,
fail to do this they ought to be In
dicted.
The public ought not to be respon
sible for public matters where they
arc in the hands of a board duly
elected to perform such matters"
