HEAR GAS RATE
CASE TOMORROW
Perth Amhoy Co.'s Case Before
Utility Commission
SEEK INCREASE OF 80 CENTS
City to Be Represented by Two
Attorneys at Hearing In
Newark

A hearing to determine whether or
not the Perth Amboy Gas Light Com
pany Is to be permitted to increase Its
rates will be held before the N. j..
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
at the board rooms in Newark. The
hearing is one that was postponed
from June 25 in order to give the
company an opportunity to compile
figures and statistics to justify their
claims for higher rates. The first
date set for August was also post
poned.
The company seeks to increase Its
rate thirty per cent per 1000 cubic
feet net price, from 80 cents per
1000 cubic feet the present rate. to
$1.10 per 1000 cubic feet.
The gross rates will be affected in
the same proportion and the same
discount will be allowed. That is a
gross rate of $1.40 will be charged in
place of the present gross rate of
$1.20 per thousand cubuc feet. The
discount now allowed Is not per-
centage discount, but a fiat discount
of 20 cents per 1000 feet II the bill Is
paid within ten days of presentation,
according to A. l.. Reitmeyer in
charge of the local office.
The city will be represented tomor-
row by City Attorney Leo Goldber-
ger and the Gas Company by Judge C..
c. Hommann.
The valuation of the gas company
property here as published previous
ly in the EVENING NEWS and filed
with the Public Utility Board fixes the
entire assets at s1,109,215, as of jan
uary /, 1919. To earn an eight per
cent. dividend on this sum the COM
pany claims in the report that an in
crease of forty cents per thousand feet
would be needed to meet the present
deficiency.
1t was in this connection that the
city attorney would make his only
comment this morning, which was to
the effect that in 1918 the company s
than half a million dollars and that
the jump this year appears to need
explanation.
In 1918 according to the City At
torney the assets were but $400,0 900
and the capital stock outstanding but
$4,000. If the company is able to
convince the Utility Board that the
assests have increased to 81, 100000 Or
more and is granted an s per cent ON
those assets the city attorney said that
it would be easy to see the dividends
the company could pay on it's capital
stock. The dividends he said would
probably be over forty-five per cent.
The public Utility Commission has
had experts in this city checking up
the valuation of the gas company
during the past week, the city attor-
ney said.
1t is expected that the commission
er's experts will present their findings
as a check on the company engineers

STREET DEPT.
MEN GET S2.83
So Says Alderman Anderson As
to Pay Increase
ALSO GET OVERTIME PAY
Most of Men In Department
Are Too Old to Work In
Factories

A possible explanation of the rela-
lively low wages being paid employees
of the street department Is contained
in statement made by Alderman
Christian Anderson, chairman of the
street committee. Mr.. Anderson de-
MED reports that the men were get
ting only $3.50 per day and stated
that the lowest wage now being paid
in the department was $2.S3 per
eight hour day. Many of the men get
extra pay for overtime, and the driv-
ers always get one extra hour he
said.
Admitting that the scale was lower
than that paid in the factories, Mr..
Anderson claimed that few of the men
in the department could qualify for
factory positions.
Most of the men in the street clean
ing department are too old to be of
use in a factory and yet can give sat
isfactory service on the streets. If
such men are worth more than the
street department pays or have to
support dependents they should seek
other better paying work, the alder
man said. Few of the men on the
street work have any dependents at
all, he said, and most of them say
that they are glad to have the oppor-
ity to get the work on the streets.
There are about fifty men employed
by the street department now. Within
the past three vars wages have risen
more than two-thirds for these men,
Mr.. Anderson said,

held at the New Packer House on

the Board Of Trade. This dinner will
be one of the big things In conneo-
tion with the greater Perth Amboy

Throughout the length and breadth
of the city the Board of Trade and
Greater Perth Amboy are the topics
of conversation. The organization hit
upon a popular cord when 1t started
the Greater Perth Amboy movement
and hardly day goes past but
group of citizens or some organtza-
ton or society let 1t be known that
they are ready to back the movement
to the limit.
Perth Amboy as whole seems to
have at last awakened to what 1t
means to have a live commercial or
ganization, and from the city officials
down, pledges have been made to back
up the organization and do the ut
most to aid in the membership cam
paign which starts on Monday, for 1t
Is at last realized that the only way
to build a greater city is to start at
the commercial organization, laying
the foundation there and then build
ing from 1t.
An enthusiastic group meeting was
held last night by the Western Inn

SALE Of CANNED
FOOD NEXT WEEK
Canned Vegetables and Fruits to
Be Offered to Public Soon

Hundreds of cases of the best quail
ity canned vegetables and canned
fruits will be placed on sale by the
city week. The surplus subsistence
stores" are now waiting for the city
to come and get them at the ware
houses on Governors Island and the
first trip will be made by truck to-
morrow morning.
The cans of fruit and vegetables
will be sold at only a few cents above
cost on the same plan as the ham,
bacon and syrup have been sold at
the fire houses.
The articles on sale by the city mex.
week will be: Beans, tomatoes, corn,
peas, pineapple, cherries and syrup.
The city will introduce an innova-I
ton In the method Of having the food
delivered to this city. 1t will be
brought here from Governors Island
on one of the trucks used as a water
sprinkling auto from which the water
tank has been removed and wooden
top substituted.
A resolution was passed by the
Board of Aldermen Monday night au-
thorizing the use of the auto for this
purpose anad Alderman Anderson of
the street committee and the Mayors
Food Committee stated that he had
had the work done. The Standard
Underground Cable Company which
HAS lcIt itS TRUCKS TO the city, Is SLlll
willing to let the city use them, 1t is
understood. but Mayor Dorsey stated
that the city did not wish to impose
on the company's generosity any
longer.
All of the canned goods will bel
brought to the warehouse of the Wa
ter Department at King street and
redistributed, the mayor said in order
that when the sale opens all varie-
ties may be obtained at once. Thel
goods will be divided up among the
fire houses in order that each Sec
tion of the city may have its share
of the foodstuffs. The mayor said
that he thought 1t would be more to
the housewives advantage II theyi
were able to buy all of their canned
goods at~ene time instead of having
to make several trips for each va
riety.
A. hitch was feared In licensing the
auto truck to pass through Staten Is
land which is in New York state. Max
Gibian, city agent of the Motor Vehi- |
Gle Department. suggested that the
mayor give the driver letter stating
that the truck was being used in an
official emergency work to obtain the
government food.

PARIS, Sept. 17:-Latest official
advices report the situation at Fiume
forcibly taken possession of by Ital-
ian insurgents under Capt. d'Annun-
zio last week, as without change. The
necessary measures have been taken
to prevent all communication with
the city from the outside, as was
learned from unofficial sources yes
terday.
OF the italian sailors who landed
in Fiume only 100 remained in the
city at the last advices, the others
having rejoined their ships, the off,
cial advices state. 1t is announced,
however, that Rear Admiral Casa
nova, who landed yesterday in an
attempt to restore order, has been
illegally detained on shore.
General Badoglio, who was sent by
the government to Fiume to handle
the situation, has issued q proclama-
ton to the troops advising them to
remain faithful to discipline. The
proclamation denounced the volun-
posts and went to Fiume, creating a
state of things that cannot be ap-
proved or tolerated"
The Jugo-Slav peace delegation In
Paris has issued statement indicat-
ing that italian regular troops are
moving on the city. The Italian bat
tleship Dance Aligheri is said to have
been damaged by her crew and has
been unable to leave the port OF
Fiume. French, American and British
detachments, which were in the city
at the time of d. Annunzio's coup are
reported to have boarded ships and
departed.

from the powers a concession OF the
Fiume district to Italy in return for
important concessions by italy, along

can opposition is preventing such
