With the following letter attached to
ordinance concerning auto buses.
July IS, 1919.
City of Perth Amboy.
1 have approved the the attached ordi-
nance as drawn but it seems to me tina
we should make some provisions to take
care of certain matters that a been
omitted.
/ have been informed blythe City At
torney hat this can be done under the
Rules and Regulations.
Have in mind provision to limit the
speed of these buses by means of a
mechanical governor to be attached to
make of Governor to be defined by the
Council.
Would recommend that the speed al
lowed not to exceed is miles per hour
Would also recommend hat 1t be
mandatory for the owner of any bus
route who desires to sell such route, to
secure the consentof the Council before
doing so.
This would make it impossible for any
company TO secure a monopoly of this
buiness.
Itwould also seem to me that, If 1t
is possible to make a rule fixing the age
limit of drivers at 81 years instead of
Is years. we shout do so. However,
the legality of this matter will nave to
be decided by the City Attorney first.
Yours truly,
Frank Dorsey, Mayor.
And
! The following recommendation at
itached to resolution authorizing repairs
ON Mcclellan Fire House:
Hon. Board of Aldermen.
City of Perth Amboy. N. ].
iGentlemen:-
I have approved this resolution but
want to call your attention at this time
to the fact that I notice that the work
is about completed, and it seems to me
that the Chairman of the Committee
who ordered this work done before the
resolution was approved, is pursuing
the wrong course. and I would recon-
mend a in the future, he would SOM
ply strictly with the law.
Frank Dorsey, Mayor.
