WANTS CONFERENCE
ON OIL POLLUTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:-Follow-
ing conferences with leading mem
bers of congress relative to the
widening scope of the oil pollution
bill introduced by Congressman L.
Frank Appleby and experimenting
the hearing given on this bill last
week Mr.. Appleby yesterday intro
duced a resolution in the House of
Representatives authorizing and re-
questing the President to call a con-
ference of the leading nations of the
world controlling and operating
ocean shipping to consider amend
ments to our international maritime
laws whereby this constantly in
~creasing evil may be controlled.
The resolution is based on the fact
that the casting of oil refuse into
the water is a menace to the fishing
industry and that in harbors the
floating oil constitutes a fire danger
around piers and ~bulkheads. The oil
also makes many bathing beaches
unfit for use, according to the con-
gresham, and in view of the fact
that the pollution extends outside
the three-mile limit of our jurisdic-
ton a conference of interested ma
tons is requested.

CHANGE
IN FINANCING
South Amboy Council Also
Takes Up the Stockton
Street Matter

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 2.-R. +.
Carroll &c Co., auditors, through
Councilman Kvist, advised the
Gil at their regular meeting last
night that article IA, section is of
the municipalities act, providing a
method of handling municipal fl
nances by which all boards and de-
partments. except schools, must be
operated in the regular way, that
their receipts must be paid into the
general treasury of the city and
their expenses paid by checks there
from.
In quoting the above the auditors
had in mind the matter of the Board
Health Of the city, who have been
running that department separately
from the general treasury OF n
city. 1t is understood that this mat
ter will be given attention in the near
future. The communication was re-
ferred to the council as a whole with
the city solicitor.
In going over the books for the
month of October, the auditing com
pany stated that they found the diff
ference in cash as at January i,
1920, had not been cleared up. The
company suggested that something
ought to be done in the matter. A
resolution adopted later in the eve
ming, referring to the cash difference
as more imaginary than reality, was
adopted.
The auditors stated that the pre-
vious collectors account now shows
a balance of about 1924 still due
from him. The auditors expressed
the desire of having this matter
Strengthened up. The council and
the city solicitor will also taxi this
up at their next meeting.
The opening of Stockton street
was again brought to the attention
of the council by Councilman Thorn
as Lovely who remarked that several
of the property owners interested In
the improvement notified him that
the property to be purchased on
Augusta street, would be sold to the
city at a very reasonable figure.
This improvement is meeting with
the approval of residents on Stock
ton street, as we'll as those on Aug
usta street. Business people who are
compelled to make a great detour to
get into the street have signifed
their approval in the matter.
For many years this street open
ing has been pushed forward, but
no action definite has ever been
taken. 1t is expected hat the open
ing of the street is not far off.
