So. AMBOY PLANS
ACTION ON TRAINS
Want 5 O'Clock Express to Make
AmbOy Stops
b. gpecial Correspondert.

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. PRIMARY
ballots are out for the nomination of
men for Board of Directors for the.
Chamber of Commerce. This ballot
will be counted on December Is, and
at this time the highest twenty men
will be declared candidates for direc-
tors at tn efinal election which will
be held probably the first of January.
After the counting of the ballots the
temporary Board of Directors will
have a meeting and take up several
matters of importance.
n of hte first things to be taken
up by the local board was the matter
of the 8 o'clock express from New
York city stopping in South Amboy.
1t was rumored that the residents of
the "shore" had petitioned the Board
of Utilities to cut out" the Amboy
stops. A communication was sent re-
questing that this strain be continued.
A reply has been received denying
that such a petition was ever pre-
scented. The only communication ever
received from the Shore patrons
was q request of additional cars. The
communication from the Utilities
Commission stated they had taken the
matter up with the railroad compa-
MES who had agreed to put on more
cars and If necessary another section.
This will set aside all fears by local
commuters that their favorite train
was to be stopped.

OFFICIALS HEAR
FINAL EVIDENCE
IN GRAFT CASES
Councilmen May Render De-
cision Against Policemen
at Later Meeting

Members of council went into session
late this afternoon to consider the evil
dence which has been given in con-
nectiou with the charges of petty graft
against Theodore Magnelli and Edward
E. Schmehl and TO misconduct
against Victor Fl. Bill. all city patrol
men. Their decision of the disposal of
the cases will be announced at a spe-
cial meeting which may be called later
in the week.
Following the regular business session
this morning, the commissioners heard
the concluding evidence in the Bill
case and the brief arguments of George
l.. Reed, his attorney, and City So
lictor John T.. Fox.
Although the case was continued
from last Thursday until this morning
so that the defense could call additional
witnesses, Bihl and Noah s. Meyer
the chief witness against Magnelll and
Schmehl last week, were the only two
TO take the stand. Bill was questioned
ty his attorney about having a mace
Und revolver in his overcoat when he
removed it at police headquarters. The
officer said when he took off the coat
both were in the pockets and by re-
moving it he had disarmed himself.
Mr. Reed asked council to consider
carefully the contradicting evidence
given by Schmehl ana Blhl IN the case
and said that he interpreted the word
misconduct as used in the law under
which the hearing was held, to mean a
violation of a statute or city ordin-
ance.
Solicitor Fox in replying declared that
the act specifically states misconduct
or violation of any law" The city So
licitor also declared "The quicker the
police are made TO know that the civil
service law does not permit sue. things
as charged against this man the better
the Sorce will be-
At the suggestion of Solicitor Fox a
motion was passed authorizing Com
missioner c. w. Burtnert, who was pre-
siding at the hearing. to call a special
meeting at which time a report would
be made of the findings of the council
men and the disposition of the cases
would be decided.

Second-The extensive develop
ment of hydro electric power at
twenty sites in or near this region.
Third-The building of new cleo
trio plants at the mouths of the coal
mines AS the plant developed more
and more of the total output of coal
would be converted into electricity
at the mines.
In cost, power is cardinal fac
tor. Every new horsepower created
is equivalent of twenty human be-
ings. Growth in this is u measure
of industrial progress. The total
horsepower in the United States now
every inhabitant. BY increased CO.
ordination and by putting to use
power now going to waste, this ratio
can be multiplied.
Compete With World
The ability of the United States to
compete in the world markets of the
future is measured in many import
ant lines by the ability of this dis
trict to compete. More than half
of the goods manufactured in the
United States is produced in New
York, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut. Al
ready the district is, supplied with
every other facility that knits an
Industrial area into a compact whole.
1t is bound together by network
of railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines. Just as the once scat
tered railroads were Joined ana
double tracked along their man
thoroughfares, it is now proposed.
to connect the electric power plants
and double their facilities by addi-
tions from new sources. The idea is
to create a river of power, hoWlng
through immense copper wires porne
100 feet from the ground on double
rows of steel towers, which Will feed
all the lesser streams leading to
factory and shop, at the lowest pos
sible cost, and supplying the motor
force for transportation. Under sucn
u system it is expected that the cost
of power would be reduced by half,
and the foundation laid for extern
sive development in the future, with
new conVeniences and comforts In
the homes.
The total horsepower generated in
public utility and electric plants IN
the cities of the district ana thelr
vicinity is 4,50O,OO0. The total cleo
trio industrial power of the DIS
trict is 100000, making grand
total of S,500,000. Each OF these
plants, now working for the most
part separately, must maintain lts
own reserve against emergency put
if they were Joined by trunk line
the total of reserve required for the
whole district would be reduced con-
siderably.
In this region new equipment for
the production is being increased by
from 5000 to /, 900, 600 year. The
pIan is that these additions of new
equipment should be made in ac-
cordance with q comprehensive plan
of power production, in such way
as to bring into use the undeveloped
water power. .

LEGISLATORS
WILL HAVE THE
PREFERENCE NOW
Will Be Practically Only Ones
to See Governor on
Session Days

Members of the Senate and House
of Representatives will have the pref
erence in seeing Governor Sproul
on days when the Legislature is in
session. Owing to the numerous
callers at the governors office it has
been found necessary to make such
an arrangement and people who
visited the Executive department to-
day found that it was in effect.
This plan brings to the state Capt.
tol rule which has been in opera
ton at Washington and at many of
state@ capitals and as far as possible
the lawmakers will make appoint
ments to see the Executive. Few gov
ernors have had such a rush of
visitors as Governor Sproul. They
have come from all sections of the
state, practically all of them on the
days when the Legislature is in ses-
nounced, while others have wired
that they intend to call without in
quiring whether it is convenient to
see them.
One of the reasons for the new
ruling is the desire of the Governor
to see the legislators and to discuss
pending measures and those in pros
pect. In addition the Governor is
understood to need time to go over
drafts of bills being prepared for him
by the attorney general and which
have had to be laid aside to meet
delegations and visitors.

HARRISBURG TO BE
INCLUDED IN BIG
TRUNK POWER LINE
Industrial Conditions Throughout Eastern United
States Would Be Tremendously Benefited by
Great Project Endorsed by Secretary Lane

Harrisburg is to-day favorably re-
ceiving the plan of Franklin d. Lane,
secretary of the interior. for the
construction of an enormous trunk
ilne electric power system in the
North Atlantic Industrial District.
including all that district between
Boston and Washington, as part
OF this country's reconstruction pro-
gram.
industrial conditions throughout
the territory embraced within the
scope OF Secretary Lanes conception
VIII be immeasurably bettered.
Greater facilities furnished to manu-
facturers in this territory will aid
in making it even a greater center of
industry of the nation than it now is,
1athers of the scheme announce.
The hydro electric development
OF the Susquehanna is in
GUIDED in the plan, and will add an
otner important reason for the deep
enlng OF the Susquehanna river that
1t may be satisfactory for navigation,
a question that is now receiving con-
siderable attention. from the Fed
eral and Pennsylvania governments.
The deepening of the river, or
ports or it at least, would be almost
a necessity to make Secretary Lanes
plan feasible. The tentative. pro-
gram provides for two extensive wa
ter power plants on the Susquehanna
river; and it is believed while work
necessary for the construction of
these is being done, the channel of
the stream may be deepened to ad-
vantage.
Tap Big Power Reserve
In this North Atlantic Industrial
District-of which New York is the
center-embracing not more than
one-siXtieth of the territory of the
United States, one-third of the coun-
trys electric power is consumed.
One-twentieth of the population live
and are supported here. The boun-
Diary lines of the district are not
those of states but are drawn by the
scope of special industrial activity.
The boundary of the region in
cluded in Secretary Lanes concep-
ton, starts north of Portsmouth,
n. H., extends in u southwesterly di-
rection to Schenectady, n. Y. thence
south and slightly west to this city,
thence south, circling Washington
and then east to the Atlantic coast
Two important reasons are given
in support of Secretary Lanes plan:
One is immediate, that there is a
shortage of power, which under the
heavier demands for war production
threatened a crisis in the period be-
fore the armistice. For several years
the demand for new equipment has
raised from 100000 to 1000, ,00O
horsepower annually.
The other reason is that in order
to meet international competition
and preserve our standards of living
we must look to the most of produce
ton now as never before.
Secretary Lanes plan has three
parts:
First-The linking together of eX-
isting plants for economy.
