TARGET FOR CRITICISM

ment given out today by Simon Ger

the past known as lieutenant" of
Republican State Chairman Edward
c. Stokes, the proposed $4,000. 900
institutional construction bond issue
is used as a target for criticism.
He states that it would be a far
better plan to use the ~S750,000. the
amount OF interest which the people
of this state would be obliged to pay
in case the issue is approved, each
year for construction of additional
institutions. Mr.. Gerson admits that
the facilities now provided by the
state for the care of her unfortun-
ates are not ample and that more
should be provided as soon as pos

IGNORANCE OF Law BLAMED
FOR JAMESBURG'S DILEMMA

JAMESBURG, Oct. 20-Borough
Clerk William H. Brooks has been
in communication with the r. +.
Carroll Audit Company, of Perth
Amboy, regarding the completion OF
the audit of the borough's books so
as to include the year 1913, as re-
quired by the state department of
municipal accounts. The borough
finds itself in trouble because in
making the audit this year. only
1920 was specified. In municipali-
ties the size of Jamesburg an audit
is required only once in two years,
but that does not mean h a the IN
~tervening year can be omitted.
Rather, it is for the purpose OF
saving expense by permitting two
years audit to be made at one time.
The borough officials did not N
derstand the law in that way and
so, in advertising for bids for n
audit this year. only 1920 was spec
flied although the last audit made
was for the year 1918. The Car
roll Company bid on the work was
awarded the contract to audit the
borough s books. This was done
in accordance to contract whlch
called for the year 1920 only.
When the report was sent to
Trenton it was returned to have
the 1919 audit included. In a let
ter which the Trenton authorities
wrote to the Jamesburg officials II
is stated that the department over
look the requirements of the law
intimated that any registered ac-
countatn who was engaged to make
an audit of municipal books ought
to be familiar enough with the law
to set the borough council right be-
fore the audit was started
While some of the counclimeh
are inclined to criticise the ac-
countant woh was engaged to make
lied that the accountants did ex-
actIy what the contract called o
and therefore the borough ofhciais
are ready to accept some of the re-
sponsibility themselves.
The one desire now is to set the
borough right with the state de-
partment of municipal accounts by
having the audit for the year 1913
made so as to conform with h
law. Negotiations have been opened
with the X. F. Carroll Company
20 that end and if satisfactory terms
can be made it is likely they VIII
be engaged to carry on the work.

TROLLEYbUS To
THE FIFTH WARD
Com. Whalen Asks for Funds
for Line From Richmond
to T0ttenviIIe

ToTTENvILLE, Oct. 20.-Com-
missioner Grover A. Whales OF
plants and structures for the city of
New York, appeared before h
Board of Estimate on Tuesday with
a request for s177,700 for the estab-
lishment of the trackless trolley
system between Richmond and Tot
tenville, a distance of about nine
miles.
This request followed a report and
reviewing OF the facts of the open
ing of the two trolley lines on Staten
Island two weeks age when he went
on record to extend the lines to the
southern end of the island. Accord
ing to The report submitted by Com
missioner Whalen a two wire line
similar 20 that now installed between
Meters Corners and Sea View and
Linoleumville would be erected to
Tottenville on whatever route may
be chosen. This line would also be
operated from the power plant OF
Sea View Hospital, although 1t will
require additions to the electric
plant there.
Nine miles of wire must be erect
ed and seven trolley buses would
be purchased according to the plans
of the commissioner. A transmits
zion line would also have to be erect
ed between the power plant and
Richmond with feeder lines and au-
tomato s~ubstations.
Commissioner Whalen at the OPP
ening of the two lines at Meters Cor
ners said that he would have track
less trolleys running from Richmond
to Tottenville by the first of next
May and If the Board of Estimates
acts f%avorably on the requests for
funds he will make good. A petition
signed by 1900 tax payers from this
end of the island was filed with the
Board of Estimate about six months
ago by the Fifth Ward Transporta-
ton Association asking for the ex-
tension of the trackless trolley to this
end of thu island. The petition was
filed by John Poth, of Rossville,
president of the association who has
been very active in the matter. Mr..
Poth is looking for favorable action
by the board within a short time.
Borough President Calvin ID. Van
Name as a member of h board OF
estimate and Mayor Hylan. who is
friendly to the interests of Staten
Island in the way of transportation
facilities are both favorable to the
establishment of the new line to Tot
tenyille which will probably be along
the new concrete highway in Arthur
Kill road.
