PLAN ELIMINATION OF TWO
GRADE CROSSINGS HERE
CONTINUED from page -

The station would be about where
il Is now only there would be a plat
form and shelter on both sides OF
the track with a fence separating
the north bound from the south
bound track. Passengers alightlng
from a train would Immediately
come UP to the street level by broad
stairs and could then proceed in any
direction they desired without wait
ing for the train to move out OF n
way.
being plain, but attractive to look
upon.
Naturally, the adoption of such a
plan for the elimination of the two
crossings would necessitate a SLOW
ing down Of traffic, not only
of the grade on both sides or the
bridge to get up high enough to pass
over the tracks so as to clear tne
trains, but it would mean turning IN
at this place in order to get up on
the bridge and to get back on the
street again. But the time lost In
doing this, it is argued, would not
be nearly.as much as the time that
is lost at the present time awaiting
at the crossings for trains to pass,
not to mention the danger involved.
The fact hat there is a consider
able grade on the railroad all n
way from the river to washington
street and beyond, might make 1t
feasible to lower the tracks a few
feet which would make 1t possible
to have the highway bridge still low
err, thereby cutting down the grade
of the approaches on both sides.
While the elimination of all h
grade crossings in the regular way
either by depressing or elevating the
tracks is the real solution to the
present problem. it is felt that some
thing ought to be done as quickly as
possible to remedy existing condl-
lions. The plan as here outlined is
something hal might be carried out
in the quickest possible time and at
the least expense.
There are many engineering diff
culties to be considered in connec-
ton with the a%bolishing of the grade
crossings here because of the cross
ing of the Lehigh Valley tracks at
Washington street. 1t Is something
that even if started at once will take
several years to complete. In n
meantime the proposed bridge be-
tween Market and Smith streets to
carry all the traffic of those two
thoroughfares over the railroad
could be erected almost at once.
The plan is submitted for the con-
sideration of the people n the
officials upon whom the responsible
ity rests.

coming ACTION
IS LAID OVER
Protest Heard by Aldermen at
Hearing Last Night---
Changes Are Suggested

AS the result of opposition voiced
establishing the first residential Sec
ton and restricted building area in
this city, the aldermen last night
decided to lay the measure over I'M
til a later meeting for further &C
ton, A hearing On the new ordi-
nance, which has already passed on
first reading, was held following n
CITY orphanage hearing, several in
terested persons speaking.
The ordinance establishes as h
first residential section that section
of the city lying south of Gordon
street, including the northern side
of that street, and east of Madison
venue, including the westerly side
of that street.
Albert Leon was the first to
speak. He said he was in favor of
a reasonable zoning system but did
not think the present method was
fair in that it does not offer pro-
lection to a business man who sew
eral years ago built in this restrict
ed district before there were any
residences near it and now has to
suffer as the result of the ordinance.
Mr.. Leon said he thought a resi-
Dental section should be protected
but could not understand why TINS
was the only part of the city in
which such a restricted district was
being laid out.
The speaker told of building a
warehouse several years ago near
State and Paterson streets when
there were no residences near II.
Now that this district has built up,
he said, and in case fire should de-
stroy this building he would be UNI
able under the ordinance to rebuild.
Other property owners, he said, are
in a similar position and they are
being Disseminated against by the
ordinance in it's present form. He
urged the necessity of giving TINS
matter a great deal of consideration
until the aldermen arrive at a point
where business is safeguarded.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger said
and that other restricted sections
would be laid out in the city later
on. He said the suggestion that
such action be taken came from the
zoning commission and the ordl-
n as it now stands had been
worked put. Mr.. Leon said he
thought it the wiser plan to walt
until the ordinance was complete,
covering the entire city, before it is
passed. MAIDS j. Dinesen spoke or
the need of an ordinance restricting
the building of factories and stores
in the northwestern section of n
city. J.. Philip Goldsmith and Fred
Christensen also spoke on different
phases of the ordinance.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Alderman-at-Large John N. Wester
promised those present that the
measure would be given deep con-
sideration before it was again acted
upon. Aldermen John ]. Clark said
he was opposed to certain parts of
it, especially that having to do with
the rebuilding of a building follow
ing fire.

new SCHOOL
ACTION AGAIN
Board of School Estimate to
Considr the Matter
Tomorrow

A repeated formal request from
the Board of Education for a new
school building on Hall avenue and
9n addition to the present high
school structure will be considered
by the Board of School Estimate
at a meeting called by the mayor
for tomorrow afternoon. The mat
ter which has been before this
body more than once, has been re-
ferred to the aldermanic board who.
in turn have turned down the propo-
s;tion upon the grounds that suf-
fIcient funds are not available.
The Board Of Education at its
last meeting again discussed the
crowded conditions of the schools
and found that another appeal
would have TO be made Immediately
and there was evidence of very rad
zeal measures being resorted to If
the petition is again turEed down.
The Board of Education is entirely
at a loss as to how to distribute the
large number of new children who
will enter the high school and gram
mar school in the fall. Requests for
an addition to the high school and a
building on Hall avepue made at the
beginning of the year, If compiled
with, would have provided enough
space, at least for the incoming pu-
pills had building started immediate
ly.. The refusal of the Board of AL
dermen to grant the request at that
time caused the complications which
neither the superintendent nor the
school board can unravel at this
time.
Should the project be looked upon
favorably by the Board of School
Estimate tomorrow and endorsed by
the aldermanic board and building
operations started Immediately, there
would be a possibility of some of the
class-rooms being available for the
mid wear influx in February.

elaborate operetta, THE Princess of

smaller than last year when 245 re-

expressed their intention OF enter
ing high school in the fall.
"The Princess of Poppyland" will
be staged by the girls of Rooms 301,
302 and 30S, and the three acts are
set in a garden in Poppyland, a court

Benefit CONCERT AT
MAJESTIC TONIGHT

The concert to be given tonight
under the auspices of the Peoples
Relief and the Palestine Tool Fund
Committee will probably be the best
offering of music that has been
given in Perth Amboy this year thus
far. With artists who have gained
fame both in Europe and in this
country, the program will be n of
particular merit, including Katrina
Post, the metropolitan soprano,
Piastro Borissoff, the Russian violin
list. and others equally as prominent.
The proceeds will go toward the
restoration of Palestine and the re-
lief of the destitute in Europe and
it is hoped that the Majestic will be
filled to capacity. Tickets may be
exchanged at the box office all af-
ternoon and this evening.
