Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-03-07

That the approach to the westerly
end of the Hall avenue bridge over
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
tracks will be rebuilt within the near
future Is an assured fact but whether
the city or the railroad will stand the
expense of the improvements remains
to be seen. The matter was discussed
yesterday afternoon at a conference
held in this city between r. v. Ream-
er, engineer of maintenance of way of
the Central railroad; Aldermen Ben
jamin Reidy and Chris Anderson. City
Attorney Leo Goldberger and City
Surveyor Morgan F. Larson.
The bridge was built in 1883 by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey across
their tracks at Hall avenue. The land
at that time on the westerly end of
the bridge belonged to the farm of
John Arnold, but is now the Joint
property OF the Central and the
Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. Reamer
said that the agreement the railroad
had at the time the bridge was built
was that if the railroad built the
bridge the Arnold people would build
the approach. This they did.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-03-07
TO IMPROVE APPROACH
T0HALL AVENUE BRIDGE

During the discussion the question
was asked by Mr.. Reamer who has
improved the easterly end of the
bridge and was informed that the city
had done the work.
At the present time the westerly
approach is about twelve feet mar
rover than the easterly approach. 1t
is estimated that the expenses would
not be very great as all that is neces-
sary is to erect a light retaining wall.
fill in the present roadway and
straighten the present railing.
1t was decided to let the matter
rest until the Central Railroad of New
Jersey can take the proposition up
with the Pennsylvania railroad and
see what action can be taken. 1t is
understood that II the railroads do
not see their way clear to fix the ap-
proach the matter will be referred to
the Public Utilities Commission.
A communication from the Central
railroad was read last night at the
aldermanic meeting concerning the
bridge at Hall avenue. The letter
stated that the matter had been turn
ed over to the proper officials of the
railroad company.
