ing in which to place it. The matter

advice of Counsel Geran.
A permit was received from the

JAR Of TRUCKS
CRACKS HOUSE
South Amboy Council Gets
Complaint About Grade
Crossing -0ther Matters

[By Evening News Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 24-The
matter of the deplorable condition
of the grade crossing at the corner
of Main street and Stevens venue
was again brought to the attention
of the common council last night
by Councilman Shuey. The Jersey
Central Traction Company has a
strip of track running north on
stevens avenue to their sub-station
and 1t is at a certain section of this
strip hat the grade is defective
causing a great jarring when heavy
trucks run over it. The result is
that jarring is running several of the
homes in this section.
The most noticeable of all is the
stucco house owned by Patrick
Cooney on corner which has been
cracked. Mr.. Cooney notified the
council some time 6 about this
condition and the council in turn
notified the traction company, but
to date nothing has been done to-
ward eliminating the trouble. The
city will take the matter up with
the traction company again and the
state officials will also be notified.
Whether the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has O right to erect
posts and piling in the roadway of
the "hole in the wall" is a matter
of interest to the residents of the
| M~echanicsville section of the city.
| The situation was called to the at
tention of the city council last night
through a letter signed by Joseph
Jerome.
A resolution appointing Fred Die
ker to fill the uneXpired term of
| Andrew G.. Rivers, resigned. was
| brought before the council last
| night and met with considerable OPP
| position from Councilmen Stanton
and Lovely.
Several weeks ago Rivers notified
the members of the water commit
tee that he had received an offer
from another concern who would
| give a larger compensation for the
same line of work and asked the
chairman of the committee. Mr..
| Shuey, if he would release him of
his obligation of giving ten days
notice so hat he might accept the
new place. The chairman released
him of his obligations and proceed
ed to get another engineer. After
interviewing several of the appli-
cants and meeting with little sue
cess he got in touch with Fred
Decker, of Sayreville.
CounciImen Stanton and Lovely
contend that the position should be
given to citizens of the city as COM
mon courtesy. Mr.. Shuey stated
that he had inquired as to the ability
of Mr.. Decker and the chief engi-
neer at the local plant informed
him that Dieker was one of the best
that could be obtained. Only twelve
hours time elapsed before the posi-
ton was filled and in that time
many applications were looked over
and some of the applicants inter-
viewed, stated Shuey. He said he
had to get a man that would stand
up under the test and that man is
now at the local water works.
The resolution was finally adopted
and Dieker will serve the unexpired
term of Rivers with the same duties
and with the same salary and allow
ances.

scented to the city for payment was

ter the primary for the office OF

number from this city in the field,

given by the city solicitor at last
nights meeting. One was the bill
of George T.. Everitt, for SIS for
labor in removing mud from his cell
lar at the corner of John street inc
Broadway last March. A heavy
storm during that month had gut
ted the cellar and Everitt asked pay
ment from the city claiming it to be
the fault of the condition of the
street at this point. The solicitors
opinion was that the city was not
liable.
Another bill was presented by Mrs.
Burke, of Fourth and Potter streets,
for $500 damage done to her home
on tho corner of Main and Potter
streets last March by fire. The COM
plainant claimed that the inability
of the fire alarm to ring and the de-
lay of the firemen in getting to the
scene of the fire permitted the fire
to get greater Roadway causing UNI
necessary damage. The opinion of
the solicitor in this ase was that
the city performed full obligations
at the time and was not obliged to
pay any amount.
Another bill was for $1S5 damage
done to the home of Mrs. Ginter, of
Bordentown avenue, caused by the
pGcoili5 uSho vi -
roadway. The opinion was that the
city was in no way liable for the
damage DONE. The piece of road
way has since been fixed.
Another bill was for SIS in which
the city was held responsible for
John McAuliff being burned by a
tank of acid on a fire apparatus.
The youngster was standing near the
apparatus while at a fire and re-
ceived several burns when a tank
exploded. The opinion as in all 9TH
err cases was that the city was In no
way responsible for the damage
done.
II. J. Wasser, state highway en-
| gineer, notified the council last
night hat the detour on Route No
4 in this city was discontinued.
The grade on Walnut street, from
