ACTUAL REPAIR
WORK ON SPAN
No Date is Set, However, for
Reopening of the State
Bridge Here; Work is Slow
ARE LACKING UP THE SPAN
Difficult Feat Of Replacing
Worn Track and Stripped
Gears Will Soon be Started
ARE JACKING UP THE SPAN

The Linde & Griffith Company
has begun construction work on
the state bridge between this city
and South Amboy and although no
date can be definitely given as to
the time when the work will have
been completed, it is a plain and
known fact that 1t will take more
than a short time. The work of
lacking up the bridge is going on
rapidly and the difficult feat of re-
placing the worn track and stripped
gears will soon be in progress. This
latter work Is what will require
time. 1t may be necessary to re-
place more than was at first thought
necessary, but nothing definite can
be said as to this until the work
has been some time under way.
The replacing of the gears will
be a slow and difficult task and will
have to be limited to a certain
number OF men. General expires.
sion at the bridge seems to indicate
that from two weeks TO month
may be far short of the actual time
although no one seems certain.
The draw has been opened and
will continue to remain so until the
work is completed, thus making the
task doubly hard. owing to the diff.
culties encountered in the transpor-
tation of materials and men to and
from the bridge proper.
The inability to get the necessary
materials for the repair work has
been given as the reason for the loss
of so much time in starting the act
ual work on the draw. 1t was i'm
possible to keep the draw in service
until these materials arrived, how
ever, owing to the fact that condi-
tions had been allowed to grow so
bad that traffic over the span was
no longer safe and it was found
practically impossible to close and
open the draw as boats passed up
and down the river.

JAPAN TO ANSWER U. S.
ON ISLAND OF SAGHALIh

BY The Associated PSess.
TOXIC, July 29. The japanese
munication from the United States
pointing out, among other things.
that America is unable to recognize
Japan's occupation of the island or
Saghalin. The Nichi-Nichi says OF
the nature of the protest, however,
that the impression exists here that
the communication is not really a
protest but rather an exposition OF
the American viewpoint of occupa-
ton of Russian territory with some
thing of Americas attitude toward
the territories occupied.
It apparently Is felt here that
any publication of the details OF
the note emanates from. Washin gton
and not Toxic. Meanwhile 1t is
likely that Japan after mature de-
liberation, will forward an answer to
washington in an attempt to clarity
official opinion there and remove any
misunderstanding of Japan's posi- l.
tion
Appearances indicate that japan
is acting to avert another nervous
crisis concerning her relations with
United States. Numerous interpe!la-
tions have been made in the Diet
about the American attitude. and
while the important newspapers are
counselling their leaders to keep
cool. 1t is apparent that a certain
amount of apprehension exists con-
cerning the result of the congress
sional inquiry at California. The
Japanese conference. however.
seemed convinced that Il is being
conducted with utmost fairness and
that attention is being called to
statements that a number of Aneri-
cans have come forward spontan-
eously, to testify in favor of the
Japanese.

tice in the Perth Amboy EVENING
NEWS informing the public that an

sion for a new house. the board car
take action in that respect.

Park police, reported to the county
prosecutors ONCE early this after
noon that an automobile truck, con-
tanning a consignment of liquor,
had stopped in Highland Park and
the driver had asked for protection.
declaring that three touring cars
had followed him all the way from
Trenton to that place. The driver
of the truck said he believed the
men in the touring cars were only
waiting for a chance to hold up the
truck and steal the contents
The amount of booze contained in
the truck could not be learned but it
is thought to represent several
thousand dollars. The driver had
with him on the truck three help
ers, all employees of the New York
trucking firm from which the truck
was hired for this particular job.
The credentials Of the driver were
examined by Chief Bedford to see If
he was lawfully transporting the
liquor and he was found to have all
OF the necessary government per-
mits.
The driver declared that although
the touring cars were capable of
making more speed than his large
truck, they had continued to follow
in his trail all the way to Highland
Park from Trenton. His suspicion
had been aroused. he said, and he
wanted to know if there was not
some way the police could give him
protection for the remainder of the
trip. The Highland Park police
were unable TO assist him in this
matter and the driver appealed to
the county prosecutors office. 1t
is not thought likely that they will
interfere in the matter, but viii re-
fer the truck driver to Prohibition
