CLUB EVENT FOR
NEW MEMBERS
East Jersey Club Has Large
Crowd Out at Reception -
Aim to Get Acquainted.

What is said to have been the
most successful social evening in the
history of the East Jersey Club was
held last night, when a reception
was given the new members. About
sixty persons were present and en-
joyed the welcome and entertain
ment which had been extended 10
them.
Nathaniel w. Pierce. chairman of
the house committee. was the mas
ter of ceremonies and announced
that the object of the gathering was
to get acquainted and have social
time.
Lucius III. McHose, president of
the club, then made a few approp-i-
ate remarks. which included a brief
sketch of the recent history of the
club and concluded by extending a
welcome to the new members.
Mr.. Pierce introduced a comedian
and piano player who had been en-
gagged from New York and they
added their fun toward the success
of the evening. Henry w. Fisher
did a few slight-of-hand and card
tricks which proved TO the satisfac-
tion of all that the hand is quicker
than the eye.
Then as a fitting part of the pro-
gram refreshments were served.
As climax to the whole affair
William j. Counihan, of the Majes-
tic theatre, arrived upon the scene
with six professional entertainers
and this made the evening a perfect
one.
During the evening a number of
members engaged in games of Kelly
pool.

TRENTON. Jan. 20--The mayors
and other representative of the
communities of the state enrolled
in the New Jersey League of NUM-
cipalities want the state senate TO
act on the governors nominations
to the new Public Utility Board. so
that there may be an official body in
office before the ten cent trolley
fare goes into effect throughout the
state by default. A resolution to
this effect was adopted here yester-
day by the members OF the league
following a spirited discussion on
the fare situation confronting the
people of the state and the deadlock
between the governor and the SEN
ate.
1t was offered by Mayor William
3. Mcmillan. of Oaklyn. Camden
county, after he had spoken against
and accomplished the defeat of a
motion made by Town Attorney w.

rum Friday, February is. The play
is to be given by a group of pro-
fessionals who make up the organ
ization called the Navy Players and
all of whom are Legion members.
Having had a two years run in New
York, this farce will certainly prove
a wonderful attraction to Perth
Amboyans and the informal dance
which will follow and the fact that
the affair is benefit performance
for the local post, will undoubtedly
go far toward drawing a large
crowd which is necessary TO cover
the large expense and leave sur
plus which will be used for laudable
purposes within the post.
AT the present time the post Is
making a great effort to sizeup the
ex-service men of the city and, If
the number warrants enough inter-
est, will take some steps to alleviate
the condition if possible. If the
condition of employment become
serious, the relief committee will
resort to the funds now set aside
for this purpose and which should
be swelled by the presenting of the
play stop Thief here in February.
Ex-service men who are out of
work whether Legiouaires or not
are now registering at room 202,

situation can be Known by the post
before it commences its activities
in unemployment. All men are
asked to register Immediately.

Plans For New State Bridge
Ouer The Rdr1tan ShOlDS Need
For City Plan System Here

A new map OF the city and its
water supply has just been COM
pleted by superintendent Samuel j.
Mason of the water department,
showing the new bridge as it will be
located across the Raritan and a
study of this map shows again the
need of a city plan in Perth Amboy.
Now that a new state bridge over
the Raritan River, from Smith street
and Convery Place to the mead
ows" in South Amboy. is a certainty.
and plans for its construction are
now being drawn. the question of a
road to the bridge from the north
for automobiles arises.
The aldermen have considered
paving Brace avenue from Amboy
avenue to Convery Place. and Con-
very Place from Brace avenue south
to New Brunswick avenue. This
would relieve congestion at railroad
crossings and at New Brunswick and
Amboy avenues. but would necessi-
tate a sharp turn of less than a right
angle at Brace avenue and Amboy
avenue, and another sharp turn at
Convery Place and Brace avenue.
With the heavy traffic passing
through the city during the summer
such turns would cause considerable
trouble, delay and making accidents
easy.
Ferd Garretson, at present city
treasurer and a former mayor. has
made a suggestion which. it is ex-
pected. the aldermen will consider II

Request $4,000 for Exten-
sions From Aldermen; Will
Lay New Mains to Plant.

The Board of Water Commits
sioners last night passed a resolu-
tion requesting the Board of Alder
men to finance certain proposed
extensions to the amount of $4,000
which will include $4,000 for a
new meter repair shop and garage
in King street on the site now oc-
cupied by the water departments
shop. The plans for this new shop
were drawn last year. but the al
dermen requested the water board
to wait until this year before they
attempted to build in order that
the cost would be less.
The proposed building will cost
$4,000 and will consist of a shop
in>the front part and garage in the
rear. 1t will be one story except in
front. where there will be two
stories, there being one room up
stairs. The finance committees of
the aldermen and water board have
discussed the matter of erecting a
new shop and it is understood that
the aldermen will finance this
work.
The other $4,000 asked for in
the resolution adopted last night
will finance the following: $1,000 to
finance the extension of street

$4,000 for high level pumping
equipment; $4,000 for new meters.
Included in the repairs outlined
in the resolution adopted last night,
is the extension of pipe lines on Am
boy avenue to the Barber Asphalt
/ Paving Company's new plant. A
new pipe line will probably be laid
from Inslee street to Maurer road,
and it is expected that a large pipe
Hill be laid on account of the addi-
ions to the Barber Asphalt plant.

Merchant Marine Hearing

WASHINGTON. Jan. ".
Charges that the International Mer-
camille Marine and American Ship
ping Company controlling operation
of about forty vessels, leased from
the shipping board. is bound by an
agreement entered into for period
British government in 1908, to pur-
sue mo policy injurious to the in
terests Of the British mercantile
marine or of British trades" were
made today by Senator Jones, of
Washington, author Of the mer-
chant marine act.
Part of the text of the alleged
agreemen entered into for a period
of twenty years was read by Senator
Jones in an address before the an
nual convention of the National
Merchant Association in which the
senator made sweeping charges oi
attempts by British interests sup
ported he said by certain American
interest to destroy the Marine Com
pany.
The agreement as quoted by Sen
ator Jones, reserved the right OF
termination by the British govern
ment in event of the pursuance OF
any policy injurious 10 the British
mercantile marine, and left the final
decision IN any case OF any uillcE-
ence, as to the intent and meaning
of the agreement or any disputes
arising Hereunder. to the lord high
chancellor of Great Britain, provis-

boy avenue. At present this road is
not paved and very little traffic goes
over 1t. The suggestion has been
made that the state take II over and
make it another link in its highway
system. but the large population OF
Perth Amboy under the present laws
makes such action impossible.
Mayor William C. Wilson will
shortly call a meeting of the city
plan commission, and II is believed
that this matter will be one of the
first to come up for consideration.
With a bridge which will cost in
the neighborhood of s3,0O0,000 be-
ing constructed between Perth Am
boy and South Amboy by the state,
with federal aid, it is TO be expected
that those having charge of laying
out the new routes and doing the
street paving will have the fore
sightedness to include this important
item in the city plan.
The plan just completed for the
water department by Mr.. Mason Is
the first drawing to be made public
showing the exact location of the
new state bridge and the two ap-
proaches. 1t is the intention of the
water department to attach its water
mains to this bridge instead OF run
ming them under the Raritan River.
as Is done at present.
According to the map the new
bridge will not have any turns in it
but will lie in a straight line. being
a continuation of Convery Place.
Owing to the fact that 1t Is crossing
the river at the narrowest portion
the South Amboy approach being on
the meadows. which extend far into
the river just north of the present
structure-the bridge will not be as
long as the present one.
