1920 CITY BUDGET FIGURES
DISCUSSED; MANY INCREASES

The 1921 budget was taken up by
the Board of Aldermen last night,
when a tentative draft of figures was
completed. While nothing definite
was agreed upon, indications are that
stress of the times will boost the
amount of the budget far out of pro-
portion than that of 1919.
The greatest gain will be caused by
the wholesale raise in salaries, either
by actual increases or in the form of
bonuses, affecting every city depart
ment. Combined with this will be
the increased cost of supplies, ETC.,
that will tend to raise the depart
mental demands.
In few instances will the budget
figures remain the same. While no
action was taken last night, it is un-
derstood that the Board of Health
will ask for $4,000. The Park Board
will ask for a larger appropriation as
well as the street account. District
Court, Playground Commission, fire
account. lamps and lights, police and
pension fund.
The budget will be taken up again
at an adjourned meeting of the board
next Tuesday night.

CALL MEETING
FOR MEMORIAL
City Plan and Memorial Commit
tees to Have Appropriation in
Budget Victory Bridge is
Suggested by Aid. Wilson

A meeting of the Perth Amboy Ne
mortal Committee will be held Mon
day night in the City Hail.. for the
purpose of hearing suggestions upon
a proper memorial for this city, hon
oring the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who served from this city, and
endeavoring to decide on some def
mite form of a memorial.
Efforts will be made to have all
pubic minded citizens attend this
meeting, together with the city plan
ming committee.
At Monday nights meeting the
suggestion of Alderman William Z.
Wilson to erect q Victory Bridge"
between this city and Tottenville will
come up for action. Alderman Will
son, at the committee session of the
city fathers last night, outlined his
plan of an interstate bridge between
this city and TottenVille as q memO-
rial to the service men who were in
the world war. Alderman Wilson's
suggestion was that the names of
New Jersey and New York service
men be placed on the span.
Alderman Wilson is a firm believer
that his suggested plan can be made
q. reality if enough interest is created
in New York and this state to secure
financial aid of both states to erect
this structure. The matter will be ex-
planned in detail at Monday nights
meeting of the memorial committee.
The aldermen last night decided to
make prov sion in the 1921 budget for
appropriations to the City Planning
committee as well as the Memorial
Committee with which they can work.
The City Planning Committee, with
some finances with which to work,
has considerable work ahead of it
and the importance Of these matters
is realized by the mayor and alder
men-hence the appropriation with
which to do their work. The amount
of the appropriation has not been
agreed upon as yet by the aldermen.

RAISE AND BONUS
. .FORPOL|CEMEN,
ALDERMEN PLAN
Likely to Meet with Protest, PO-
Iicemen COntending That Vote
Of People Was for a Flat
Raise In Pay

Plans to give the police and other
city employees an increase and bonus
commencing next year, were outlined
by the Board of Aldermen at their
comm ttee meeting last night held for
the purpose of working out the 1920
city budget.
The matter of increasing the pay
OF the patrolmen, which came before
the voters of this city at the Novem-
Der general election was discussed at
length. The voters decided in favor
OF the patrolmen of the city securing
an increase according to the following
scale: "Patrolmen, employed not
more than one year to be paid $1,000
per annum; those employed not more
than two years, >S1,700 per annum.
and those employed more than two
years, $500 per annum."
The aldermen last night did not
adopt this proposed scale of wages
during their committee session, but
favored the paying of an increase to
the policemen, together with a bonus.
The amount of tbs increase and the
bonus, however, was not decided up
on.
This settlement of the patrolmen's
demand for more money is not satiS-
factory to them, as the policemen are
of the opinion that the voters showed
by their ballots that they favored
straight increase and the officers
believe they should get this flat raise
instead of smaller increase than
expected, with a bonus tackled on.
The bonus system is not popular
with the patrolmen and although the
Aldermen have not yet taken definite
action as to in what form the police
mems pay will be increased, word Of
their proposed increase and bonus"
action has reached the patrolmen who
are not in favor of this action of the
city fathers along this line.
Owing to the fact that additional
patrolmen will be appointed during
the coming year. this will mean an
addition to the appropriation for the
maintenance of the police departm ent
the Aldermen pointed out. Likewise
the pension fund will also have to be
increased due to the patrolmen re-
ceiving a raise.
From reports received this morning
from various patrolmen it looked
doubtful if they will be satisfied with
the bonus system as they declare they
are, entitled to a straight raise in sal
ary,. the voters having 50 decided.
1t is evident that the bonus plan is
being resorted to owing to the uncer
tainty of the present high cost of liv-
ing their being q probability that it
will decrease. 1t would be then prob
able that the bonus would be decreas
ed in proportion TO the decline in the
living prices.
Not only the patrolnen but other
employees of the city will probably be
paid under the raise and bonus"
plan, discussed by the Aldermen last
night. Increases are being allowed for
in the 1920 budget and from all indi-
cations the bonus system will also play
1.
increase was given, 1t was pointed out
in committee session last night, and
the cost of living came down, the city
employees would be receiving pay
which would be out of proportion to
that received by other workers.

CAULKERS AND CARPENTERS
STRIKE At DRY DOCKS

Two hundred carpenters and ship
caulkers yesterday noon left their
work at the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company plant, where they are em-
ployed, and went on strike without
notifying the company before taking
this action. The heads of the con-
Germ said today that as yet they had
not received any word officially from
the strikers as to why the strike had
been called.
1t is rumored about the city that
the strikers are members of the
American Federation OF Labor and
refuse to work with another union.
1t seems that as the dry dock COM
pany operates an open shop anyone
can work in the plant and members
of the Marine Council, rival organ
ization of the American Federation
of Labor, are employed there.
1t was learned today that there
are about twenty-five men still at
work in the plant. AS this time of
year is known as the slack season,
the big rush being over, the strike
has not affected the company as it
would at other times.

IOltl 2 49, % v W. v V
In comparing the 1920 budget with
last years figures, it is found that the
Board has made q decrease of $4,000
in the repairs appropriation for next
year; a decrease of 5 900 in the fuel
and supplies appropriations; decrease
of $4,000 in the taps and meters ap-
preparation and an increase of $4,000
In the appropriation allowing for in
terest on the funded debt, making in
all a decrease of 5000.
Ia addition to this $4,000 decrease
the Water Board has placed into eff
feet a new set of water rates,-lower
than those charged during most Of
This year-which will mean saving
of $4,000 to the consumers. Thus a
total saving OF $65,000 over last year
is made. The Board plans during
1920 to receive in water rents the
same amount of money used for ex-
penditures, namely $22S,000.
The Water Commissioners, bes des
passing the 1920 budget resoi iution,
also instructed the superintendent to
receive bids on the necessary six and
eight inch pipe and fittings to make
several extensions of water mains in
tn S city. Among the jobs which will
probably be done are laying 1,100 feet
of six inch pipe in Lee avenue; laying
of 400 feet of eight inch pipe in New
Brunswick avenue; laying 700 feet of
six inch pipe in Compton avenue and
1,200 feet of six inch pipe N Laurie
street.
A petition was received from prop
erty owners along Compton avenue,
asking that the water main on that
street be extended from Convery
place to the end of Compton avenue,
distance of about 200 feet. This
was referred to the pipe copmittec
anad superintendents to investigate.
Several samples of brass pipe which
had become corroded in the boilers at
the Standard Underground Cable
Works were before the Board with a
complaint against the impure CITY wa
ter hich was said to have caused this
condition of the brass. The possibil-
ity of the brass being defective was
brought up and Commissioner Bald
win, who made the complaint for the
Cable Works to the Board, took one of
the pieces to have it analyzed.
Superintendent Mason said that he
was preparing to treat the city water
with hydrate of lime, mixing from 500
to 500 pounds daily with IL miu on
gallons of water in order to rid the
city water Of slight traces of carbonic
acid
ReqtMsitions for supplies were IA
vorably acted upon by the Board and
bills ordered paid.
