Commission Government
Petition Has Required
Names, AT South Amboy

By Special CorTfSpondehI
SOUTH AMBOY, June "A petition
is being circulated among the voters
of this city which when sufficient sign
ers have been secured. will be pre-
scented to the city clerk requesting a
special election to determine whether
the city viii continue under h pres
emit form of government or a commits
sion government substituted. 1t is I'M
derstood that the necessary three hum
dred signers as required by law have
already been secured, but the petition
is continued in circulation so as to
secure as many names in favor OF the
change as possible
The movement is being fathered by
former Councilman George Gundrum
and is supported by some of the most
able business men in this city. Under
h law the city clerk will call a spe-
cial election for the third Tuesday af-
ter the petition is presented to him.
At this time 1t will be necessary for
at least thirty per cent of the voters
who cast ballots at the election for the
last general assembly to vote on the
subject and a majority of these votes
must be secured. II this election is
successful another special election is
held electing the commissioners who
serve for a " year term
It is estimated that the cost Of a
special election in this city to deter
mine Wnetner or not the people ue-
sire a change in the form of govern
ment, will amount to $4,000, which
will be paid by the city. The election
for commissioners would cost some
thing ove $25.00o.
The sentiment of those In authority
at the present time is against this form
of government. Both Republican n
Democrat representatives in official
positions at the present time have ex-
pressed themselves against the change
They claim that with the present form
of government this city's tax rate did
not show any greater increase than
that of New Brunswick. who have
had Commission Government. 1t
has also been pointed out by them
that the members of the present gov
erning body, who serve without pay,
would probably be h n chosen as
commissioners and they would then
receive $3.50 apiece and the mayor
$1,000.
Under the new form OF government
there would be three conNnissD ners
elected. Frora their own number they
would elect the mayor. These three
commissioners would take over the
administration of the city's business.

extra squads of traffic men doing duty
An officer was stationed at every cor
ner from the bridge to Hall avenue
and from the ferry to the bridge there
extended a line of twenty-five cops
who had a difficult task directing the
traffic.
At one time in the afternoon the
cars waiting to get passage on the
ferry between here and Tottenville
stretched up Smith street in a double
line to High, from thence up High
street around City Hall Park, and
down Market street. past the inter-
section of State street.
The ferry was loaded to full capac-
