RIVAL PETITIONS ON
CABLE WORKS SIDING
CONTINUED from page u


and fair consideration" he contin-
ued. In answer to this Alderman
Waters said the prices asked by the
owners of the land adjoining the a
BILE works are so eXhorbitant that
it is impossible for the company to
pay it. Mr.. Clark declared that the
section about buckingham avenue
and Hartford street is nc longer a
residential district and the property
owners there would, in his opinion,
be ready to sell.
The motion of Alderman Clark
was put to a vote and defeated, five
to two. A motion was then unani-
mously passed that the petition be
whole.
A second petition, signed by 426
persons, was next read. 1t favored
the granting of permission to the
cable works for the siding. 1t point
ed that increased facilities for
the company would meal a larger.
plant, the hiring of more employees
with a resultant lettering of living
conditions.
In remarking on this petition AL
derman Clark charged hat 1t was
circulated through the Raritan Cop
per Works the Atlantic Terra Gotta
Company's plant, the Roessler q
Hasslacher Chemical plant and the
Standard Underground Cable Works
for signers. Although many did not
care to sign this petition, he de-
clared, the men would not leopard
ize their jobs by refusing when their
bosses asked them to affix their sig
natures to it. 1t was referred to the
committee of the whole for consid-
Grafton.
Alderman Waters, in commenting
upon this action, said he was glad
hat course had been taken as
a survey Of the names will show
that about seventy-five per cent. of
the signers are property holders
near the cable works while the re-
naming names are of representative
citizens of the city interested in the
advancement of it's industries.
A communication was received
from the John +. Seaman Company
protesting against the request of the
cable works being granted. This
company owns the northwest corner
of High and Washington streets and
claims that negotiations are now
under way with a concern which will
necessarily have to be abandoned If
the siding is allowed. The commu-
~nication maintained that the alder
men have no authority to comply
with the request of the cable works.
If the petition is granted it will de-
preciate the value of property in that
locality, it will narrow the width of
the street and the consent of all of
the abutting property owners has
not been secured, it is claimed. This
was referred to the committee of the
whole.
Adrian Vermeule, of Elizabeth,
speaking on this subject, said he
represented the company with which
the Seaman company was negotiat-
ing. He said his industry would
mean more to Perth Amboy than the
cable works, it would pay fair wages
and would not be located here if the
siding was permitted. He did not
say what this industry was he repre-
scented.

VETERANS FAIL
To LAND PLACE
State Board Postpones Max
ing Appointment Until Spring
Present incumbent Stays
rBy Evening News Correspondent

IBy Evening News correspondent
TRENTON, Aug. 16-Disposing of
the contest over the position of chief
inspector of power vessels, in which
John II. Lambley and Job IL. York,
both of Newark, were candidates
against William Carey Stoddard of
Lake Hopatcong, the incumbent, the
State Board of Commerce and Nav
igation yesterday afternoon decided
to retain Stoddard until September l..
Following that, with the season
practically over other employees of
the board will look after the work
and the place will not be permanent
ly filled until next spring. The job
rays $3.50 a month and is good for
six months each year.
Lambley and York are both World
War veterans and passed a civil
service examination for this place
last May 10, Lambley with a rating
of S2.77 and York 73.45. Stoddard
took the test but failed to pass. The
two ex-soldiers were the only ones
to pass so that three names could
not be certified as required by civil
service regulations. The two names
were certified. AS they remain on
the eligible list two years, they can
fight for the appointment next
spring.
The action of the board was based
upon it's decision that the season Is
so far advanced there was no neces-
sity of making the appointment now.
The board states that by deferring
the appointment until next season
the state will be saved $270.
Lambley and York claimed con-
sideration under the veterans pref
erance act as well rs the civil service
test, and claim they have been dis
eliminated against.

of the Hudson-Essex bridge for a
permit for the construction of the

authorities for a permit to maintain

engineers for a more definite report
as to the precise object of the work.
Bids were opened for maintenance
dredging in Broad Thoroughfare at
Atlantic City. Action was deferred.

further business during its inspec-
ton trip on Friday and Saturday. On
