COPS AGAIN
URGE RAISE
Special Meeting viii Probably
Be Held Monday
RAISE IS A QUESTION OF LAW
Pressed Their Demands at
Committee Meeting Last
Night

That a special adjourned meeting of
the Board of Aldermen will be held
Monday night after the regular meet
ing for the purpose of considering the
increases in salary asked by various
departments of city employees, includ-
ing the police, was the opinion ex-
pressed this morning. 1t seems that
the Board of Aldermen is regularly
petitioned by the city employees for in
creases about this time of the year,
shortly before elections In the hope
that politics may influence the board
to grant the requests.
The situation this year has become
muo< more serious, 1t is thought due
to general wage and price conditions
and the board Is expected to study the
problem much more seriously than
heretofore.
In case the city employees are to be
given an opportunity to appeal to the
voters at the polls this year for an
increase It will be necessary for the
Board of Aldermen to authorize such
action at least thirty days before cleo
ton. The police have already obtained
twenty per cent of the names of voters
necessary to petition the board to have
the matter taken UP at the polls, 1t Is
understood, and If the board Is to take
action this year 1t must be soon.
There appeared to be some uncer-
tainty as to whether the police came
in the same class as the other city en-
ployes but according to the 1918 home
rule act there Is no discrepancy be-
tween various city employees or ofh-
GERS.

DISEASES
REPORTED HERE
Board Of Health Takes Action
Aainst This at Session

Physicians and others required by
law to report communicable diseases
are to be notified by the Board of
Health that the statute must be COM
piled with, according to a motion
passed at the meeting of the board
last night.
The report of Health Officer DR..
Charles s. Thompson stated that only
fifteen cases had been reported last
month when 1t was evident that sick
ness from communicable diseases
had been much more prevalent. The
health officer accordingly recon-
mended that the physicians and
others be notified.
The report stated: '"The contagious
diseases which have been reported to
this department during the month of
August, number but fifteen and it ap-
pears to me that there is tendency to
be careless on the part of those re-
quired by law to report such diseases
and I believe that some notice au-
thorized by your body should be sent
to those interested about the law per-
tanning to the reporting of contagious
diseases"
A list of reportaole diseases will also
be furnished with the notices.
The diseases reported to DIR. Thomp-
son last month are: Diptheria. SIX
cases; Scarlet fever, three cases; Tu-
berculosis, four; typhoid fever, one
case, and whooping cough. one case.
The board appointed Miss Marion
Nichols, of New York City, as techni-
cian She was recommended by DR..
Parks. of New York, in charge OF the
health department laboratories. Her
appointment Is conditional on her
ability to qualify fer the position

BOARD Of TRADE
DUTIES TOLD
Mayor and Other Men Say That
Change Must Be Made

That the first step necessary to
make the Board of Trade moro ef-
fective in this city would be an ac-
tive effort to popularize the Board
with the business and civic interests
of all classes in the city was the state
ment of Mayor Frank Dorsey at q
meeting held for the purpose of boost
ing the board last night.
statement on charges which had been
made to him that the board was not
working in the real interests of the
people of the city and quoted instances
where he believed the board had taken
a wrong course. He cited the report
that the extra trains to take war work.
ers to Parlin and Morgan during the
war emergency, when workers were
needed by the government had been
defeated by the action of the Board
of Trade.
President Madsen replied that the
Board as a body had not taken action
officially but declared later that certain
interests in the board had taken such
steps.
Mayor Dorsey said that the board
should make provision to lower the
membership fee to admit the repreSen-
tatives of all classes in the city, prop
erty owners and lessees alike. The
board should be for the benefit of the
'city as a whole and not for few
Companies. After the meeting 1t was
considered that with the support OF
the Mayor and other representative
men which was pledged, much will be
accomplished by the organization.

DEMOCRATS CAN
PREVENT SPLIT
Reilly viii Quit Race II Perth
AmbOy Man is Named
THOSE ARE HIS TERMS
Wanted to Tell Democrats
That at Thursday Nights
Rally

Following statement made this
morning by Hugh Reilly, "indepen-
dent Democratic" candidate at the
general election for the office OF free
holder, it would appear as though
the split" In the Democratic party
might be patched up. According to
Mr.. Reilly, q different light would
have been put on the subject Thurs
day night at the Democratic Club
meeting If he had been permitted to
continue his talk. He declared this
morning that when he rose to talk
he had intended to announce his will
ingness of resigning from the contest
If any one of the Perth Amboy DEM
ocratic candidates were nominated.
When questioned this morning as
to his stand in the freeholder situa-
tion Mr.. Reilly said:
AT last Thursdays meeting Of the
Democratic Club wanted to explain
to the members my position in re-
CARDS to my candidacy for freeholder.
1 wanted to say to them that / would
resign from the contest If any one of
from Perth Amboy. thereby making
1t sure that our city would be repre-
sented on the ticket.
"This think is due to the taxpay-
ers and citizens of Perth Amboy as
we pay the greatest part of the taxes
more than any other municipality
in the county. Now Is the time to put
1t over at the primary election and If
they do not I will continue in the
contest"
According to this statement II the
Democrats of this city get behind one
of the three candidates for nominal
ton to the Office of freeholder and
give him enough votes to make him
eligible to run at the general election,
tn Democrats need not worry about
having three men on their ticket,
running for two offices. If, however,
any of the Perth Amboy men do not
make the general election ticket Mr..
Reilly will remain in the. contest.
Making three candidates on that
ticket, two from other parts of the
county and himself.
