DEMOCRATS PLEDGE LOTS
Of BOOZE WITH EDWARDS,
HAND On THE SP|GOT

where the poll workers of both par
ties combine for O common cause ana
manage to juggle the ballots. This
method is said to be usually practiced
when voting Is light and is described
as follows:
The judge Of election with mark
ed ballot safely concealed hands the
voter a blank which he takes to the
booth and marks, after which he
hands it over to the judge for de-
post. The voters attention is then
attracted by another member of the
board while the judge changes bal
lots. After the voter has left his bal
lot which has been safely concealed
while the marked ballot was deposit
ed, is then remarked by the judge in
readiness for the-next. From those
who claim that the above practice
has been successfully used, the fol-
lowing advice Is given: Watch your
ballot and see that it goes in the bal
lot box and not the one specially
marked which they may attempt to
substitute for your own.

Tlent in Matter

Two auto bus inspectors were
named today by Alderman Albert G.
Waters. chairman of the judiciary
committee, under whose supervision
the operating of busses in this city
comes. These officers have been
much needed Alderman Waters states
and outlines the reason for his action
in a statement which follows:
'At the present time there are
thirty busses operating in the city of
Perth Amboy, six on the South AM
boy route, ten on the Metuchen route,
ten on the Carteret route, apd four
on the Railway route.
"Since the Introduction of the bus
service to and from this city I have
endeavored, as chairman of this par
ticular committee, to give this work
much of my attention with the hope
of giving the public reliable and
dependable bus service. I have made
close study of their operation from
every angle and am fully convinced
that inspectors are necessary to bring
this service up to the standard neces-
sary to maintain tire good will and
confidence of the public.
I'VE have received many COM
plants about busses not running dur
ing certain hours, not running on
regular headway, waiting hours at
time on the other end of their route
and numerous other complaints
which all go to annoy the public and
make the service unreliable We
have thus far endeavored to start the
busses out of Perth Amboy on a reg
ular schedule of time. each bus havz
ing a known time to start and allow
ed certain time to make the round
trip. If we could rely on each bus
reporting or being substituted, this
system would work out all right, but
experience has taught us that there
has been times when several busses
would not report on their time and
in one instance. on one route, a whole
hour passed without the sign of a
bus. In explaining their absence the
drivers gave numerous reasons, such
as tire trouble, greasing up and etc.
Here is one instance where the in
sDector is necessary. He will keep a
record of the delinquents and will
see that extra tires are carried and
that greasing is done and other conf
mon repairs are made during the dull
hours of the day+one afternoon each
week may be set aside for each bus.
The fixed schedule start, referred to
above, had to be abandoned with
hope of improvement for a ten min
ute headway system. This system is
now in force but being without in

districts in the vicinity are to be very

Quoted at certain polls has been

At one poll as many as one hum

not let up until 10 o'clock that night.
