TO OPEN BRIDGE BEFORE LABOR DAY
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN BY POLES
Views On Ordinance Differ
Business Men Aong Smith
Street Express Opinions on
New Traffic Regulations

Sentiment among the business men
of Smith street seems 10 be decidedly
against the new traffic ordinance
prohibiting vehicles from parking on
that thoroughfare for more than
fifteen minutes.
Peter ard william Floersch, pro-
prietors of the New Packer House,
were vehemently against IT,. stating
that between It and the closing OF
the new bridge they have lost over
1000 worth of patronage. People
have come to the hotel for dinner
he stated. and after parking their
car in front have had to be told that
they must run II up come side
street. Rather than risk the chances
of parking their cars where they
can't watch it they have left the ho-
tel and the city, stating that they
would go somewhere else for, their
meal.
Mr.. Floersch went on to state that
with the present condition of High
street the effect Is doubly nouced,
but that even were this used for
parking he did not see any reason
why longer parking should not be
allowed on at least one side OF that
section of Smith street.
George F. Reynolds, of Reynolds
Bros, when interviewed this morn
ing, also declared himself as being
against the ordinance as ii stood at
present. 1T will eventually harm
business interests on Smith street,
he said. while I believe that au-
tomobiles were making q public
garage Of the thoroughfare, so to
speak. the present time limit is en-
tirely too stringent The same ordi-
nance was tried in PIainfeld and
when found to work to detriment
OF the merchants IL was amended to
read thirty minutes instead Of If
teen.
mo man who comes to the city
cares to park his car on a side street
for there are too many persons
awaiting the chance to pilifer or
steal his car. II protection is given
to cars on the side streets by the
city can see no objection to the
present ordinance being enforced"

Dorsey Silent On Candidacy
Mayor viii Not Say Whether
or Not He viii Try for Re-
Election at Polls This Year

Will Mayor Frank Dorsey be a
candidate for reelection?
This is the question which is now
being in this city since Alderman
William c. Wilson has circulated his
petitions for candidate to this office
on the Republican ticket.
Mayor Dorsey when questioned to-
day in regard to his intentions of
running for reelection refused to
have anything to say. Just what the
mayors intentions are no one seems
to be able to learn. 1t has been
generally believed that he will not
be a candidate for congressman in
the third congressional district, bu.
whether or not he will be candidate
for reelection as head of the city
government is not known. He has
remained silent on both questions.
There are some who think that the
mayor, by holding back this infor-
nation il he does not intend to be a
candidate, is making 1t hard for
some other Democrat who might
come forth for the office, but who is
"laying low" until the mayor de-
clares himself 1t is believed that
some statement will be forthcoming
from the mayor within short time.
as 1t will soon be primary day and
all petitions for office must be filed
about ten days in advance of that
date.
That the campaign here this fall
will be a hot one is conceded on all
sides. Alderman Wilson is known
as one of the best politicians in the
local Republican ranks, and whoever
the Democrats put up against him
will have a stiff fight to win the
election, 1t is said.
If Mayor Dorsey does not run for
congress. the question which is con-
fronting the Democrats, is: who
will be the candidate?"
There has been considerable talk
of Thomas j. Scully. the present con-
gresham running for reelection.
There is also some talk that Arthur
A. Quinn might be the candidate if
sufficient pressure was brought to
bear on him. In some of the DEM
ocratic quarters Quinn is known to
be receiving serious consideration.
1t is known that the Middlesex
county Democrats expected that the
candidate for congress this year
should come from Monmouth coun-
ty. but since Elmer H. Geran. of
Matawan. has been eliminated as
the candidate from Monmouth there
is little hope left that Monmouth
will be able to produce a man who
will be willing to run for the office.

was arrested in South River at
o'clock yesterday by County Detec-
tive John Ferguson on charge OF
