OLSEN NAMED
BY COMMITTEE
To Have Engineers Prepare
Preliminary Plans for De-
veIopment of Waterfront
CHANNEL IS DISCUSSED
Idea of Committee to Bulk
head Out Into River for
Considerable Distance
CHANNEL is DISCUSSED

The committee on water front de-
velopment met in City Hall last night
at the call of Alderman-at-large
John N. Wester, and organized. Pet
er C.. Olsen being elected chairman
and j. Logan Clevenger, secretary.
The entire committee, with the ex-
ception of City Engineer Morgan F..
Larson, was present. Mr.. Larson
notified the other members that he
would be unable to attend owing to
three political meetings at which he
was scheduled to speak.
The feasibility of developing the
south shore of the city with the con-
struction of docks and warehouses
was talked over and it was unanim-
ously agreed upon that the project is
logical one and a plan which will
mean the making of Perth Amboy as
a commercial center.
Chairman Olsen. was instructed to
ascertain from engineers the approx
innate cost of preparing preliminary
plans for docks and warehouse de-
velopment here.
There is at the present time a
twenty-foot channel up the Raritan
River at this point and 1t is the idea
of the committee to bulkhead out
into the river a considerable distance
and then dredge from the channel
into the point where the dock and
warehouse will be constructed, the
material removed from the river in
dredging being used as fill behind
the bulkhead.
When these plans have been
drawn up by an engineer, Chairman
Olsen will call the committee to-
gether for another meeting to con-
slider them and decide whether or
not they cover the ideas of the COM
mittee.
AS soon as the plans are satis-
factory to the committee, blue
prints will be made and sent TO
every steamship company which
might be interested in using such
docks and warehouses in Perth Am
boy. The steamship companies will
be told the conditions here, the
railroad facilities, the close proxi-
nifty to Sandy Hook, the depth of
water allowing ships drawing 20
feet to come to the docks and will
be asked whether or not they will
use the docks and warehouses If
constructed according to the plans.
Upon receiving word from these
steamship companies-which the
committee members believe will be
favorable to the project-the COM
mittee will go before the aldermen
and present to them a report with
suggestions as to what steps should
be taken to develop the waterfront,
giving ;ny assurances which they
might have received from steam
ship companies as to their inten-
tions of using the docks and ware
houses.
The committee will meet again at
the call of Chairman Olsen, those
attending last night in addition to
the chairman being: Ferd Garretson,
j. Logan Clevenger, Isaac Alpern,
William P. Nolan and Arthur c. So
field.

SEWER SURVEY
FOR METUCHEN
Resolution Passed at Mass
Meeting on Big Problem
for Borough

METUCHEN, Oct. 29:-A resolu-
ton unanimously adopted, authoriz-
ing action by the borough council at
the earliest possible moment in re-
gard to making a survey of the bor-
ough and obtaining estimates of the
cost of constructing a sewage sys-
tenn in Metuchen, was the result of
the mass meeting held under the
auspices of the Chamber of Com
merce in the high school auditorium
last night.
DIR. Henry Stence. president of the
State Board of Health, was the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening. He
stated that the condition of some
sections of Metuchen today are
worse than the conditions that exist
ed in the primitive days of the
world, and that although health Is
purchasable it is question whether
it is worth while purchasing. He
told the gathering that a sewage
system would insure the growth of
the town.
r. F. Minton, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee
which arranged the meeting, presid-
ed. In a short address he declared
the construction of a sewage system
was the first step to be taken by the
Chamber of Commerce on their city
plan program.
Three Metuchen physicians. Doc
tor Lippincott, Hofer and Dix also
addressed the meeting, and all
spoke of the desirability of estab-
fishing a sewer system in the bor-
ough. 1t was pointed out that the
cost of constructing such a system
is no argument against same. DIR.
Lippincott, a member of the Me-
tuchen Board of Health. told the
gathering that the sewer system
would make Metuchen mosquito
less.
DIR. Hofer offered the resolution
in regard to asking the borough
council to take action. There were
a number against the plan at the
start of the meeting, but the vari-
Gus arguments offered in favor of
it caused them to change their pol
icy. 1t is said the construction of
this item would cost about s194,-
$50, and of this amount $4,000
could be raised on forty year bonds
and the balance on general taxa
ton.
