|N7IRE CITY DEPARTMENT FIGHTS SPREADING BLAZE
County To Be Free OF County Bridge
Support Nov. 5 After Long Fight
Bill Signed Also Includes the
Albany Street Bridge at New
Brunswick
BY Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, April 1:-Governor
Walter e. Edge signed the Brown
bridge bill, Senate No. AZ, at 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
This measure, which was piloted
through both branches of the legisla-
ture by Senator Thomas Brown Of
Middlesex. will enable the state high
way commission to take over the two
million dollar bridges in Middlesex
county. known as the Amboys bridge.
between Perth and South Amboy, and
the Albany street bridge between
Highland Park and New Brunswick,
on November s, as part of the state
highway system.
The Amboys bridge is part of Route
4 of the state highway system and
the Albany street bridge Is part OF
Route I.
The bill. when IL was first intro
duced, met concerted opposition ON
the part of Republicans in the selsate.
The highway commission was op-
posed to II and the Republican whip,
Senator Case. was likewise not In
favor of the measure. Slight amend
ment made by Senator Brown and
concerted effort on his part, put It
through the upper house without op-
position when 1t came up for third
reading and final passage.
Later when IL reached the assembly
there was some little opposition. and
1t received two negative votes. The
governor, who advocated such action
by the state some time ago, favored
the measure and signed 1t without
hesitation.

To BUY GAS co.
Mayor and Aldermen Name
Separate Committees to Work
Jointly on Suggestion

Automobiles occupied several hours
Of the Board of Aldermen's time last
night. with the result that when they
adjourned at 11:40 o'clock they had
the words OF Alderman John j. Clark.
But In the appointment OF COM
mittee ut the suggestion of Mayor
Dorsey. to act with q similar COM
mittee to be named by the mayor.
the whole to consult with the Perth
Amboy Gas Light Company with ref
erence to the purchase Of that COM
pany's entire property in Linden
street at the waterfront, 1t Is believed
that something has been started that,
should 1t go through. would give the
city an addition to park properties in
that section that will connect Gale
donia park with the Hayes and Won
derland tracts. making an uninter-
rupted stretch from High street to
the Central railroad bridge along the
waterfront for park purposes.
The mayor In letter to the board
suggested that the committee be
named and that he would name a
similar committee Of four. Alder
man-at-l Large Grouse named the may
or and Aldermen Wilson. Anderson
and Clark. The mayor has not yet
named his committee.
When the recent gas hearing was
held at Newark the company made
known its intention of erecting two
water gas sets at its present plant. 1t
was then suggested that it would be
feasible for the city to purchase the
property now, before the sets were
erected. and in that way avoid paying
a much higher price in the future.
II is with this in view that the COM
mittee will look into the matter and
see II 1t Is wise for the city to buy
up the tract now occupied by the gas
company.
The aldermen in committee session
discussed the purchase of two motor
street sprinklers. but left the actual
contract until next week.
The taxicab ordinance. with nu-
merous amendments. came up for
second reading and the taxi operators
Of the city objected to certain clauses.
The matter was left over until next
week.
Several residents of Laurie street
asked the board to pave that street
for it's entire length, from West Side
avenue to New Brunswick avenue,
rather than stop the paving at Groom
street as proposed by an ordinance
already passed on first reading.
An ordinance was passed on first
reading calling for the working to
grade. curbing and grading of Amboy
avenue from Myrtle street to point
100 feet north of Insiee street. Bonds
to the amount of $4,000 will be is
sued to pay for the work.

Jnhilant Over Passage

When word reached this city that
the bill had received the signature of
the executive, Senator Browns tele-
phone became busy with congratula-
tions pouring in on him from all
sources. Republicans and Democrats,
city and county officials and private
citizens as we'll showered their con-
gratulations upon him. The measure
was the first from the pen of Senator
Brown to become law. His tireless
battle to have 1t placed on the statute
books made the fact a singular VIC
tory.
The senator was highly elated this
morning and expressed his great
qualification at the fact that the coun-
ty will now be relieved of the tre-
mendous burden Of the two bridges.
construction and upkeep close to two
million dollars.
There have been a great many ef-
forts made in the past to have the
state take over the bridges, but none
of them has resulted In definite action
until the bill was prepared after
Hugh Reilly, former city official.
brought IL again to head before the
Perth Amboy Democratic Club. Ex-
preston OF sentiment throughout the
state was secured and was in every
instance favorable to the project.
Senator Brown thereupon drew up
the measure.
Evidence of the intense interest,
displayed with remarkable non-parti-
sanship, was displayed at the last
hearing before the senate on the
night of the final passage. when fifty
men from the county, from both
parties, and representing the county
and various municipalities Of the
county. went to Trenton to support
the senator in his tight.
