ALDERMEN ACT
ON PAvEMENTS
viii Make Work for Unem-
ployed-- Graham Slated for
New City Job

Following a suggestion by the state
department of the federal government
made to City Engineer Morgan L. Lar
son, that as much street and road
work as possible be done by munic-
ipalities, In order to facilitate trans
portation and employ as many mon as
possible, the Board of Aldermen at
their committee meeting last night
took up the pavement or improve
ment of three streets of the city and
will act finally on all three at their
regular meeting on Monday night.
The streets in question are Fayette
street from State to the water front;
Elm street for its entire length of
three long blocks, and Gordon street
from Rector to the water front.
An argument that developed be-
tween two of the representatives. both
from the same ward. overshadowed in
interest the other proceedings.
The argument developed over which
OF the two had displayed the greater
bravery during the Morgan explosion.
Starting with a mild accusation, the
argument developed into an exchange
of compliments that made the air blue
for several minutes. Finally both put
up ten dollars with City Clerk Arthur
f. Graham. pending a future settle
ment. But later amicable relations
were resumed and the money was re-
turned.
The board also considered the ap-
pointment OF an assistant to the may
or. TO act as secretary for him, and
TO the city comptroller. also as secre-
tary on the memorial committee and
likewise checker on the new municipal
inventory and TO check the revised
purchasing system. Arthur +. Gra-
ham, who relinquished his temporary
duties as city clerk today upon the re-
turn OF City Clerk John Hanson. Jr.,
from the naval service, is slated for
the Job.
The board took up the laying of
sidewalks in Amboy avenue. This to-
gether with the suggestion that COM
fort stations be looked into, to be es-
tablished at the public market and
State and Smith streets, the relaying
OF two sewers in Grove and Alpine

have charge OF the planning for and
final erection of memorial to the

city who took part In the world war.

Hall on Friday night next.
The committee has been completed
by the memorial committee of the

have a committee of 100 citizens. but
il was found necessary to enlarge this

would be sufficient, but when the al
dermanic committee finally had every
man on the list representing all the
interests desired, they found that II
exceeded even 200.
II is the intention OF the mayor
and the smaller committee to start
active work on the memorial within a
short time. They also expect that st

NO ALARM FOR
SCULLY MEN IN
EDWARDS BOON!
County Clerk Cannon Com
ments on Democratic Guber-
material Contest Now On

Commenting on the meeting of
Democratic leaders at the Carteret
Club In Jersey City on Thursday af-
ternoon, when leaders from thirteen
counties assisted in launching a boom
for Edward |. Edwards for governor.
County Clerk B. M. Cannon. who Is a
staunch supporter of Congressman
Thomas J. Scully for the nomination,
said he did not feel any alarm over
that meeting. as 1t was an unofficial
party gathering, and commented fur
ther that he could 80 out and get
man from every county In the state
who would launch a boom and pledge
himself for Scully.
Mr.. Cannon. who Is the recognized
leader of Democrats In the county,
said he had read about the meeting
in Jersey City. but that he had given
1t very little attention. lie mention
ed the fact that the session seemed
to have been domihatel by the inter-
ests of Jim Nagent, the Essex county
leader and Mayor Frank Hague OF
Jersey City. leader of the party in
Hudson county.
Mayor Dorsey, who Is president Of
the Perth Amboy Democratic Club
and fast becoming one of the strong
est party men in the county, did not
comment to any extent on the meet
ing or the boom for Edwards, as he
said he had not read much about II
and was in no position to speak on IT..
The mayor is also a deep-dyed Scully
backer and is working every minute
for the South Amboy congressman.
The Democrats of this section, up
on whom the searchlight is thrown 10
start somtehing for Scully, have as yet
made no active move, although 1t Is
likely that within a short time there
will be dinner or meeting at which
the Scully campaign will start off with
a bang.
In his typical fashion the congress
man has started his campaign himself
with a publicity and advertising drive.
Edwards has appeared as the other
chief contender for the nomination
and no ether active booms have ap-
peared on the political horizon.
though doubtless there will be others
who viii spring up between the pres
ent time and the primaries.
