PROBE. To BOOST
MACKAY CLAIM
Governor Takes lab at G. 0.
P. Mentioning Fact That
Local Election Was Held in
Hudson.
IBy Evening News Correspondent

TRENTON. May 11.-Comment-
ing today on Senator Mackay's re-
port filed in the state library, in
| which the governor was charged with
blocking the continuance OF the Hud-
son county investigation by the SEN
ators' committee, Mr.. Edwards
charged hat the probe was intended
for nothing more worthy than a
boost for the Mackay Gubernatorial
campaign and that it might have
been conducted last year when the
legislature was in continuous session
ready to receive an act on reports.
THAT, however. was rather remote
from the campaign" said the execu-
tive, land incidentally there was no
municipal election pending in Hud-
son county,
No light has been thrown here as
yet on the reason why, but two of
the committee of investigators, Sem
ator Mackay. himself, and House
Speaker Hobart, signed the report.
State Librarian C~roasdale, when ask
ed yesterday about it. the report
having been filed with his depart
ment, explained that it came into the
library last Saturday in it's present
shape, namely. containing the names
mentioned. and an erasure of the sig
nature of Assemblyman Rowland. of
Camden. At the bottom of the re-
port were lines numbered from one
to eight, a place for the signature
of each member of the committee,
but only two are there.
One theory here is that the other
members of the committee who
were to sign could not be reached
when the report was ready last Sat-
,,-Io,y I'D -, fLn 1trr,y 20 got ~ ~,
file and published before Tuesdays
Jersey City election. it was sent In
as presented here with the assump-
ton that Senator White, of Atlantic
and Assemblyman Rowland. would
approve it's contents. 1t is under
stood Assemblyman Loori of Hud-
son. would not sign and. of course.
Senator Rays, of Sussex, also re-
fused. He is the Democratic MEM
ser. Rays was here yesterday, but
refused to discuss the matter.
Today Governor Edwards answer
ed Mackay's jab about blocking the
extra $4,000 appropriation for the
probe, by pointing out that at the
last session there were eleven special
appropriation bills passed during the
thirteen weeks of the legislature, one
each of which was introduced by
Senator Mackay and Assemblyman
Rowland, but not n bill was pre-
scented appropriating money for the
investigation.

WORK PROGRESS
Grade Pine Avenue in Prepa-
ration for Laying of Con-
crete on New Highway.

SOUTH AMBOY. May 11-Road
work in this city is progressing
very rapidly. The state contractor
is now at work carting away the
sand and grading Pine venue in
preparation for the laying of con-
crete on the new state highway.
The Public Service Railway Com
pany has lost no time in tearing up
their tracks running from the "Y"
near the Christ church chapel to
the city line. This section of the
line will be abandoned. In its place
the railway company will place a
curve where the "Y" now stands
and make that the end of their
run.
Under the present plan the new
road will take a different course
from the phesent one. The double
tia street and Pine avenue will be
eliminated and a wide sweeping
curve substituted. To make this
possible 1t was necessary for the
State Highway Commission to pur-
chase additional property along this
road from O. o. Mundy.
The road at this point will also be
a great deal wider. Through an
agreement with the Board of Direc-
tors of the Christ church cemetery
association the highway commission
we're given several feet of cemetery
property in order to widen the road
at that point. In exchange for this
property the state will place a hand
some retaining wall around the
property of the church and build an
iron fence on top of the retaining
wall.
Thomas Riddle, who is doing the
contract work on B~ordentown ave
nue. is making excellent progress.
The block between Stevens avenue
and Broadway has been completed
entirely and is nov open to the
public. At the present time they
are laying the top dressing on the
block between Pine avenue and Fell
tus street and intend going right up
the one side of the street to the city
line.
