average of 1000 votes a day.
Two orders for the recount were
issued by Judge Bergen, one being
sent to John N. Wester and the other
to fCity Clerk John Hanson, Jr., in

count is to be requested.

CITY To GAIN
FAME AS PORT.
Dry Docks Building Program to
Enhance Industry
HUGE DRY DOCK COMING
S5 Per Cent. of All Ships in
Country Can be Taken Care
of Here

The 10000 ton dry dock being
built by the United States Shipping
Board Emergency Fleet Corporation
will be put into what was formerly
the property of the Raritan Dry Dock
Company, which was taken over by
the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
some time ago, within short while.
The dock is being built by the
Fleet Corporation, and the local Dry
Dock Company will furnish the other
necessities, such as big tools, build
ings and necessities for steamship
work. The dredging of the property
formerly owned by the Raritan Com
pany and the Standard Oil Company
will be started in few days.
When all preparations are COM
pleted, which will be about February
or March of next year, the Perth AM
boy Dry Dock Company will be able
to handle ninety-five per cent of the
steamships that come into the coun-
try. The new dry dock will be III
feet wide, the section blocks, five
sections, each 80 feet long, with the
end sections having outriggers 80
feet. Ships SOC feet on the keel and
575 to 600 feet over all, will be ham
died by the local company.
Similar docks are being built for
companies in New York, Boston,
Norfolk and other large cities, and
there are eight in number. The Fleet
Corporation is allowing the different
companies to pay for the docks on
the installment plan, and the corpor-
alton will own the docks until they
are completely paid for.
The dry dock will be operated by
electricity and it will take approx
mately $50 kiloWatts to run the dock,
and for the remainder of the work
about 250~ kiloWatts..Th Public SerV-
ice Company's plant in this city, 1t is
understood, will be unable to furnish
this much power and for that reason
a power plant will have to be erected
by the company.
Extensive preparations are soon to
be started so that the entire plant
will be enlarged with the coming ol
the new dock. Considerable land will
have to be excavated for Wharfine
purposes, etc. The size of the ma
chine shop will be doubled, and q
large building to contain boiler shops
plate and angle furnaces will have to
be built. The piers must be rebuilt
and suitable bulkheads to contain the
back filling must be prepared. The
bulkheads will be made Of parting
and cement.
This acquisition will mean a grea'
deal to Perth Amboy, will mark the
first real use made of the local port
and will be big step to a Greater
Perth Amboy.
The officials of the Dry Dock com
pany state that once the dock is il
place and is working in full force
they believe they will be able to EN-
ploy from 1900 to 1900 men.
After the work on this dock i
completed it is possible that anothe
dock. a 5000 ton dock, will be Sc
cured.
