R. R. MEN HERE
B. & O. Vice President Says
He Will Take Matter Up
With His Company

Following an inspection of the
ferry slip here this morning. RI. b.
Voorhees,, vice president of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
informed Mayor William c. Wilson
that he would recommend the al
teration OF the present landing so
that pedestrians might have a sepa-
rate gar gway in going TO and from
boats, instead of being forced to
use the same space as the vehicles.
MIR. Voorhees, emphasized the fact,
however. that he was powerless TO
say that the improvement would be
rade He said it was his opinion
that the change could be made with
the expenditure OF $4,000 or $1,000,
he having made an investigation IN
to the possibilities of the matter
with the engineers of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit Railway Com
pany.
Mayor William c. Wilson was at
the ferryhouse at 10 O'Clock to meet
Mr.. VOORHEES, and four other officials
and engineers of the road; {. ii.
Moran, ]. L. Susserott, +. w. MUIR

ed the slip. Mr.. Voorhees, said the
work would entail several thou
sands" of dollars. Mayor Wilson
suggested that $4,000 would be
sufficient to finance the job but the
railroad official said he thought It
would be nearer $4,000 or $1,000.
Mr.. Voorhees, said he realized the
obligations under which the railroad
company was to the city and 10 the
passengers using the ferry, but said
the matter of financing the project
must be considered.
In order TO make the changes at
the ferry landing the winches which
are now located On either side OF
the large gang-pl2nk would have 10
be moved to allow room for the two
passageways for the pedestrians Ad-
ditional piling would have to be drlv-

was pointed out, and several other
changes would have TO be made IN
the present construction. The vice
president pointed out that all OF the
work would nece ssarily be done
without interfering with service ana
this would add 70 the difficulty. He

Mr.. Voorhees, told the mayor he
has not receive a word from the

slip. The first intimatiOn that there
was any agitation on for improve
menss. he said. came to him in the
form of articles which he read IN
the Perth Amboy Evening News. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
later brought the matter TO his at

: TRENTON, Dec. S.-The State
Highway Commission yesterday re-
ceived reports showing that negotia-
tions have been under way for some
time whereby the state might Sc
cure the properties on the nprth and
south side of the Raritan River
needed in the construction of the
new bridge between Perth Amboy
and South Amboy. Right of Way
Engineer r. A. Meeker, who has
been negotiating fer the land on the
south sidI of the Raritan reported
tha. the prizes asked by the owners
total $19,S5S. This amount has not
been approved by the commission,
however. The property on the north
side of the river will bring consid-
erabiy more as it is through valu-
able property now occupied by in
dustries.
Prices for which owners of land
on the south side of the river
needed for the approach to the new
bridge, will sell, were reported to
the commission by Right of Way
Engineer r. A. Meeker. who has
been negotiating for the properties.
The prices asked total S19,S5S.
They were not approved by the
IOHlHlSlSlOn WIlCl lui Iltu Itlt mat
ter over to President Burton, who
will investigate them. 1t is likely
that real estate men will be asked
to give their opinion as to the rea-
sonableness of the figures asked, but
nc great changes in them are ex-
pected to be asked.
The largest amount asked is fol-
sixteen lots situated on Scott ave.
nue.. Laurel street and Oak street
owned by DR.. Z. H. Eulner. H,
asks $10,5C0 for the properties.
Henry Wolfe, who owns severa
tracts needed for the approach, has
offered to sell at the rate of $1,000
an acre. These comprise slightly
over half an acre between prop
erty of DIR. Eulner and the Whit
worth estate; about three acres be-
tween the Richard B. Dayton estate
and the New Jersey Shipbuildine
and Dredging Company's property;
and abont two and a half acres be-
tween Marshy Point Creek and the

The estate of William s. Whit

said. We respectfully direct the at
tention TO your honorable body -
the fact that this plan will necessi-
tate the condemnation of a great
deal of private property. and viii
materially depreciate other property
adjacent thereto, and will affect the
lives and comfort of all of the peu-
pie residing in the territory west of
the present railroad tracks on Wash

are carried out, we respectfully sub
nit that the development of all that
section west of the railroad tracks
will be Iaaterially retarded: that
said plans will have the effect of
alternating the western section of the
city from the eastern part and will
initiate against the growth and de-
velopment of the western section
both as a business and residential
district.
We respectfully submit that the
proposed plan not be approved by
your honorable body until there has
been a public hearing or hearings
to enable the people of our city TO

may be worked out to the greater
advantage of the entire city and

the manner of the approval Of
these plans is called upon TO take
a most momentous step with regard
TO the future welfare Of our city.
and we feel that no action should be
taken hastily, but rather only after
proper deliberation and considera-
ton of the elements effected by
your decision. We respectfully sub
NIT that the future welfare OF our
city and inhabitants rests upon tha

tine, and we feel that the occasion
is a proper one for the city en~
gaging the most expert engineerinS
talent obtainable in order that plans
be worked out that viii insure to
the greatest benefit of our munie-
ipality. We feel that we viii be
justified in asking our honorabls
body not TO approve the present
plans until we have had furthex
expert opinion that no other sofu-
ton of the problem exists except
that proposed by the railroad enSi-
ncers.
To the end that wa may fully and
more properly present our case. We
respectfully petition your honora-
lie body for a public hearing upon
this most important matter before
the plans now submitted by the rail-
roads are formerly approved.

The main objection to the report
as submitted was made by represen-
tatlves of the Staten Island Civic

Der of Commerce. These represen-
tativcs objected to the report and
plans because they Gid not show the
proposed tunnel between Staten Is

ter and a resolution passed by the
Chamber OF Commerce requesting
that the tunnel be Incorporated In

by Mr.. Outerbridge, that the tunnel
project was a state matter and for
this reason was out of the hands OF
the Port of New York Authority.
In closing his report Mr.. Outer

"I hope it may meet with your ap-
proval and adoption"
Some of .he representatives pres

Ordinance

The Perth Amboy Dry Docks
Company last night had a petition
before the Board Of Aldermen re-
uuesting permission to have the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
cross Washington street. east ana
west at Front street, with four rail-
road tracks with sidings to and from
the dry docks. The petition was ac-
companied by blueprint covering
the proposal and a suggested oroi-
nance for adoption by the poaro'
The entire matter was referred 10
the committee of the whole, Decem-
ber 10 being set as the date for a
public hearing on the matter.
Alderman John J. Clark made a
suggestion, which was complied
with. that the advertisement of the
hearing appear on the front page OF
the Evcaing News, the same as did
the advertisement of the passage OF
the ordinance redistricting the city.
The Dry Docks Company petition
follows:
Gentlemen:
We are presenting herewith. for
YOUR consideration, an ordinance and
blueprint to grant permission TO the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company 10
cross Washington street, east ana
west of Front street, with four rail-
road tracks, sidings from and into
the properties of the Perth Amboy
Dock Company.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany is only interested in this ordi-
nance to the extent of our business.
No doubt you have been aware
that we are enlarging our plant and
now have in operation the new
10000 ton dry dock lately installed
and in order to work more econom-
ically and meet competition, 1t Is
absolutely necessary that we realize
this convenience in our steamship
repair work, in which units are at
times bulky and heavy and cannot
be transported to and from our
shops and down on piers alongside,
except by this means.
From the nature of our work, not
being a manufacturing plant whose
output is shipped most altogether by
rail. this trackage would be used but
little and without interference with
even the negligible traffic at the
point in question.
The eastern and western most
tracks on the blue print would be
used to run an occasional car OF
plate and angle iron or lumber into
our properties south of Washington
street for discharging.
In making this expansion 1t has
necessitated a considerable outlay in
money, and will mean, when business
