ELIZABETH. Dec. 2s-The ef-
forts of the Republican officials Of
Perth Amboy to put through a
n easure which would give them the
power to redistrict, the sixth ward.
owing to its large population were
apparently foiled here this morning,
when Supreme Court justice James
]. Bergen after hearing from both
sides in the case instructed counsel
Tor both sides to submit briefs for
his consideration. The action was
brought by Louis p. Booz, Jr. vs..
the City of Perth Amboy, the coun-
e. and mayor and restrained the
c.iy from taking any further steps in
the matter until Justice Bergen
handed down a decision. This de-
cision will not be forthcoming how
ever until next year. Although the
mayor has the power TO name the
redistricting commission. it is said,
his choice must be approved by the
aldermen. AS the aldermanic board
will be Democratic next year 1t is
believed the Republicans have lost
their fight TO rearrange the city's
voting districts.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger ap-
pcared before Justice Bergen repre-
senting the city of Perth Amboy.
He argued that the population of
the sixth ward is greater than that
of the third and fourth ward and
others, and said the action taken
by the mayor was in accordance

SEES HARMONY
FOR DEMOCRATS
Calvin Says His Party Men,
bers are in Full Accord
No Caucus

Although there has been no
caucus as vet of the Democratic
members of the new Board of AL
dermen who will be sworn in on
January 2, Richard ]. Calvin. the
newly elected alderman-at-large,
stated today that the Democratic
members are in full accord and
ready to work in harmony with
each other. He made light of the
reports about the city that there
appears to be some feeling between
the various members and stated
that the idea of the new board is to
give the city progressive govern
ment.
No definite action had been taken
as yet on the selection of the heads
of the various committees, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Calvin these matters
will be decided at a caucus which
will be held within the next week or
ten days. He was of the opinion
today that the caucus would not take
place until after the first of the year,
but would be held before the new
board holds its regular business ses-
sion.
The new board, Mr.. Calvin said.
would not take office with the idea
in view of party issue, but expect
ed to work at all times for the bet
terment of the city, and to start 1t
on the progressive road once again.
He claimed that Perth Amboy had
been standing still for the past
several years and needed fresh
start.
The newly elected aldermen will
meet with the present board at the
committee session on Friday night
in order to get acquainted with the
business now under the considera-
tion of the present board, so the
work may be taken up the first of
the year without any delay.

show there is diversion of opinion
between the city government, the
state transit commission and port

sport authorities are in favor of a
combined freight and passenger
funnel while the transit commission
insists on constructing Brooklyn

solely to passenger service.
The city and Ibrt authority are
said not to be in accord as to GER
