Of EXPLOSIVES
City Attorney Protests in Be-

This city through City Attorney

ing in the customs house in New

pany to transport dynamite and
other explosives up the Staten Is

p!osive expert, was also present.
City Attorney Griffin, of Elizabeth.
brought out that two car loads of
explosives pass through Elizabeth,
which is about loo, 200 pounds of
dynamite, every day.
The du Pont interests claim that
the reason they desired to use the
inner route instead of the one UP
through the narrows is because in
stormy weather the inner route is
safer. The opposition claimed that
the sound is too narrow for the
transporting of explosives. as it has
nnlN "a fuFantE- ~ foot
while the channel up the narrows
Is about 1000 and for this reason
the outside route is much safer.
During the hearing it was learned
that before the war the du Pont in
t%erests shipped their explosives by
the inner route, but when the war
began the government notified the
company that they must make their
shipments by the outside route. The
hearing yesterday was to have this
order revoked by the government.
