Public Hearing on Proposed

BEFORE THE ALDERMEN
UP TO STATE, THEY SAY

The council chamber, adjoining
rooms and upper hall of city hall
were filled to capacity last night by
those who were present to either
take part in or listen to the public
nearing conducted by the aldermen
on the proposed municipal orphans
home. Every available seat was oc-
cupied by men and women and
there were many who stood up dur
ing the entire hearing which con-
tinued for more than an hour.
Both the affirmative and negative
were heard, some favoring the new
project, others objecting to it.
Finally, when the ordinance author
izing the establishment of the home
and appropriating $1,000 for the
ready been passed on first reading,
came up for additional action, a mo-
tion was made that it be laid over
until a later meeting In order that
the aldermen might better digest
the sentiment expressed last night.
City Clerk Arthur e. Graham
read the ordinance upon the request
Of Alderman John j. Clark, in order
that the audience might know it's
exact wording. Dean William P.
Cantwell. of st. Mary's church,
raised the question as to whether
this orphanage is to he a permanent
orphans home or temporary
clearing house to which the chill
dren can be taken while awaiting
their being turned over to private
families or the State Board of
Children's Guardians. Alderman
at-Large John N. Wester informed
him that it was his understanding
that the building will serve as a re-
ceiving home in which the children
will be kept only temporarily. Dean
Cantwell remarked that it would
be a permanent home for many
children if they had to remain
there until their relatives took them
away to live with them. He main
tanned the ordinance should state
definitely what kind of an institu-
tion this was to be.
Alderman Christian Anderson,
chairman of the poor committee, ex-
planned that the idea of the home
is to make it possible for relatives
to reclaim the orphans. If sent to
the state guardians, he said, the
children could never be reclaimed
and placed with relatives, and the

Plan Elimination of
7wo Grade Crossings

Pending the permanent elimina-
ton of the grade crossings through
this city the EVENING NEWS today
presents a plan for the development
of Market and Smith streets at the
Central railroad which might serve
at least temporarily in doing away
with those two important grade
crossings and thereby remove two
sources of great danger in the city.
The drawing presented herewith is
the work of Frank l.. Antisell, of
the Raritan Copper Works. Mr..
Antisell. as an engineer, declares
this plan is perfectly feasible and
that it can be accomplished in a
short time at mparatively little
expense.
The idea is that both the crossings
at Market street and Smith street
be abolished. To take their places
:. bridge sufficiently wide to carry
the traffic of both streets would be
constructed over the railroad tracks
half way between the two crossings
as they now exist, about where the
present station stands. This bridge
would be divided in the center by a
strong fence so that all the Market
street traffic in both directions would
J kept on the south side while all

ANOTHER Gain
FORFUND HERE
Almost $1,000 Added for Aid
of Families of 9 Firemen
Killed in Crash

Contributions coming in to the
fund being raised for the relief of
the families of the firemen who were
killed in the grade crossing accident
here last Wednesday have swelled
the fund to $7,266.30. Much more
will have to be contributed, however,
If the fund is to be successful and
the stricken families greatly bene-
fitted. Contributions are being re-
ceived on every mail and words of
sympathy and cheer for the strick-
en- families still continue to come in.
The fund, which has gained such
a headway In so little time. is being
raised on the appeal Of Mayor Will
lam G. Wilson, who desires that the
citizens and organizations of the
city make a contribution towards
this eund which will certainly be
appreciated by the families of those
dead men whose demise left their
dear ones with little or no means of
support"

Although reports of yesterdays
contributions are yet to be received
from a number of the workers con-
Quoting the canvass for funds for
the Home for the Aged. the sum
turned in to the treasurer was $685.
10. which amount represents a good
start toward the goal of $4,000 set
by the committee and Board of Gov
ernors as the minimum amount nee
essary to put the new home in Rec
tor street in sound financial condi-
ton. 1t is expected that today more
members of the women's committee
will be able to assist in the canvass
of the streets of the city and that
the fund will swell rapidly as re-
suit of their efforts.
Following is a list of the reports
of workers turned in yesterday aft
ernoon:
State street, Mrs. G.. Broger and
Mrs. r. McHose, S50.69.
Gordon street. Mrs. ]. Ware and

FOUNDRY COMPANY NOT
CONNECTED With LEVY

An item published in the Evening
News, under date of June 7. stated
that an attachment had been made
on the effects of the Eastern Foun-
dry Company at Jamesburg, to salts
fly a judgment obtained on May 25
in a supreme court action that went
by default when Thomas j. Watts,
president of the company, failed to
contest the claim of the Farmers *
Merchants National Bank of Matd-
wan for $922.28.
A communication received from
Warner & Warner, attorneys of
Newark. representing the foundry
company, states: "As far as the
Eastern Foundry Company is con-
cerned they have no connection with
the judgment or levy" and ask that
this fact be given publicity through
these columns.

the Smith street traffic would be
confined to the north side. There
would also have to be a trolley track
on the north side.
On the east side of the railroad
the approach to this bridge would
begin where the roadway leading to
the station begins, curving in to-
ward the center of the block, and
rising at grade sufficient to clear
the trains using the railroad. On
the west side of the railroad prac-
tically the entire block between
Market and Smith streets is owned
by the Pennsylvania Railroad and
here tho approaches could curve
back toward Market and Smith
streets respectively, the curve and
grade being even more gradual than
on the east side because of the
greater distance it would have to
run, extending all the way out to
Elm street. 1t might be necessary
to buy a piece of property or two
to accomplish this, but for such an
improvement as this it is argued
that it would not mean as much as
the expense involved in abolishing
the grade crossings altogether
through the city.

FIRE NARlENS
MAKE REPORT
Recommendations That Perth
Amboy Co. Plant be Placed
in Better Shape

The aldermen last night received
a report from the fire wardens of an
inspection made of the Perth Amboy
Iron and Metal Companys buildings
in South Second street. There were
half a dozen fires or more at this
place within a week and it was while
answering an alarm sent in for a fire
at this junk yard that the fatality of
last Wednesday occurred.
The report stated that an investi-
cation was made on June IT and
the findings were such that a rec
mmendation is made that all in
flammable materials. paper. bags
and rags be removed and men sta
tened on the property with hose
and water until such materials have
been removed. The aldermen re-
ceived the report and decided to
have the recommendation complied
with.
