gence bureau which will be issued up

tionality and loyalty of the person
making application therefor.

The charges against Rev. Francis
Gross and his insurance association
were again discussed and continued IN
the hands of the committee.
1t vas decided hat the Red Cross
office in the Board of Trade roorsa
could be closed and all business done
from the Y. Nj. c. A. In Jefferson
street.
The fact that the city, in certain
sections. needs a good cleaning up
was again brought up and discussed.
The Board of Health is powerless at
this time to do anything In this mat
ter as II is short of funds. The over
crowding of houses must be discon-
tinued n places must be cleaned up
so that disease cannot obtain a foot
hold here, but 1t was pointed out that
this is impossible unless the Board
Of Health, which has unlimited pow
er. Is supplied with enough funds to
carry on the work.
Conditions at the city dump were
reported as better, since much of the
material Is covered. but in order to
keep people from picking over what
rubbish might be thrown there un4gl
IL is covered. 1t was deemed wise to
continue the guard until further no

GAS ALL RIGHT
SAYS INSPECTOR
After Investigation of Com
plant He Suggests Remedy
for Conditions

John II. Petty, acting chief of the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers at Trenton, has submitted to Leo
Goldberger. the city attorney, his re-
port of the investigation Of q COM
plant forwarded to the commission,
concerning the gas furnished the city
by the Perth Amboy Gas Light Com
pany, the same being a complaint
from NJ. III. Madsen. secretary of the
Western Improvement Association.
Mr.. Madsen In his complaint re-
ferred to a promise of h gas COM
pany to improve the quality and
pressure of the service. In spite of the
promise, Mr.. Madsen maintains that
the pressure is poor especially dur
ing the time when II Is needed for
cooking purposes and that unless con-
ditions are improved people In the
northwestern section of the city will
have to discontinue the use of gas.
In his report the inspector states
that he had made a number of tests
which have proved that the company
Is furnishing a product whose quality
II within the prescribed limits. The
cause of the complaints according TO
the Inspector appear to be due to
pressure conditions.
The only way to overcome the poor
pressure 10 for the company to install
a holder with capacity sufficient to
store up enough gas to provide for the
demands during h cooking hours.
Unless additional generating capacity
Is provided at this city II will be nee
essary for the company to enlarge the
capacity of the Transmission main
from Elizabeth.
1t Is suggested In the report that
the company make some provision for
Increasing h capacity OF its transmits
sion main and provide a new storage
holder In this city In the near future.

Mayor Ten Brock Appeals to
Employees to Return to Work

Since the explosion and epidemic
the large plants located here have
been working short-handed because a
large number OF their employees who
are able to work are lettering on the
streets or remaining at home. In
order to have these men return to
their Jobs Mayor John +. TenBroeck
has had the following notice sent
throughout the city:
Now that the effects of the Morgan
explosion are largely a thing Of the
past and the influenza epidemic is
under control IL is time that the con-
ditions in u large industries resume
their normal conditions.
Nevertheless a large lumber of the
employees OF the various plants who
are able to work are lettering or the
streets or remaining at home when
they should be at work.
Owing to shortage of men the In
dustries are unable TO fill h urgent
demands OF the United States gov
eminent and all who are able to do
so arc urgently requested to return to
work immediately.
JOHN F. TENBROECK.

Trolley Company BorrOWs
Old Employees to Run Cars

Already confronted with difficulties
In securing a sufficient number of men
TO operate cars, the Public Service
Railway Company Is meeting with an
added handicap in the central divi-
sion, which includes Union, Somerset
and Middlesex counties, because of the
epidemic of influenza.
For some time the company had
been working upon a narrow margin
as regards man power because of the
great demands for men in n plants
which are turning our war material
and munitions. The necessary num-
Der of men to operate the ears was rot
available to say nothing of the usual
extra list in normal times. Now,
since the advent of influenza the COM
pany has had from fifty to sixty men
on the sick list a day in this division.
Because of this condition 1t has been
impossible to operate the regular SER
vice and the shortage of men has
made 1t necessary to leave cars in the
houses which should have gone out on
scheduled runs. The highest number
of runs eliminated because OF this sit
uatfon was Friday evening when the
number OF runs off was fifteen. BY
the shifting of men from other places
this was reduced to eleven on Satur-
day morning.
The company officers have taken I'D
with some of the larger plants the
possibility of borrowing former rail-
way operatives now working in these
plants and placing them on the cars
during the morning and evening rush
hours. Such arrangements have been
made In other sections, in Camden,
Jersey City and in Newark, where
men from the war plants operate one
or two trips In the morning return to
the plants and are relieved from work
there carly enough to run the cars for
one or two trips during the evening
rush, the railway company paying
them for their services while on the
cars and their regular employers pay
Ing the men for their work in the
plants.
