FIRMLY AGA|NS I
OLD FERRYBOAT
Board of Trade to Protest it the
Old TottenviIIe is Put in
Service

A protest against the replacement
into service, should any such plan be
again contemplated, of the ferry boat
Tottenvilie, which has been used for
the past several years as an emer-
gency BOAT between this city n Tot
tenville, s. l., whenever the regular
boat, the Perth Amboy, has been out
Of commission and during the sum-
mer months, when heavy traffic war
ranted the operation of an additional
boat will be made by the Labor and
Employment and Traffic Committee
of the Industrial Bureau of the Boar
OF Trade.
C. T. Allen, chairman OF the Labor
and Employment Committee points
out that this ferry boa has been for
a long time, or practically since 1t
has been put in service, on this route
a great source OF annoyance to the
travelling public, and repeated indi-
vidual complaints that were made
from time to time, by public spirited
citizens to the Railroad Compan,
| against the operation of q boat
were either absolutely ignored or pass
ed off lightly with some kind Of
lamo excuse.
Tho industries of this city draw
largo number of their employees from
Staten Island and are therefore dt-
| rectly affected by the poor ferry ser
vico rendered on account OF this boa
not being able to run on
I, timo or through very frequent com
| pleto breakdowns, and often the elm
ination of entire trips from the ferr!
| schedule.
The Labor and Employment and
! Traffic Committee is urging the al
tention of persons interested in ths
welfare of this community to the ferry
service, in order to have them pro
test to the proper authority, which i:
at the present time the United State:
Railroad Administration at Washing
ton, ID. q. Mr.. Walker d.. Hines, di'
rector general of railroads, agains
again placing into commission thu
ferry boat Tottenville on this rout'
and to recommend its replacement BY
any such other boat that Is more re
liable and can be run according to tn
schedule mapped out for it.
According to the committees /
should be everybody's interest TO 81
thoroughly into this matter and do
everything in their power to rende'
the ferry service between Perth Am
boy and Tottenville dependable so tina
patrons who are compelled to use TIM
route, can at least rely upon n rea
sonably dependable ferry schedule.
letter embodying the above protes
will be Sent to the director general o
railroads at Washington by the chair
men of the committees.

has rounded up the gang of thieves

bikes and the police say that they will
arrest the thieves as soon as they
come back from their latest jaunt.

Hear Of Boom in Essex County
for COurley for Governor
By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, March GA new
political story to the effect hat a
movement is on foot among some of
the Essex county Democrats to bring
former State Chairman William b.
Gouriey out as a candidate for the
party nomination for governor has
been the subject of some discussion
here among political observers. Last
fall Mr.. Gourley, who lives at Pater-
son. was prominently mentioned for
a time as the party candidate for
United States senator. and it is a
that he was the first choice OF James
r. Nugent, the leader of the Essex
Democrats.
Ms story of the present boom has
no Nugent connection. is it has been
understood all along that Mr.. Nugent
was back of the candidacy of Edward
I. Edwards, state senator from Hud-
son. 1t is said, however, that the
Gourley sentiment is amor some OF
the followers of the Essex leader.
Friends of the former state chairman
contend that he would make a rat
Ting campaign, being am able orator,
lconVersant with state affairs, ana
| popular in his home district and
throughout North Jersey for that
matter.
