METUCHEN WINS FIGHT
ON TRUCK NUISANCE

METUCHEN, Jan. 21-There has
been a noticeable falling of in
trucking through this section OF late.
This information can be secured as
a result OF lack OF complaints from
the citizens about noises made by
the truckdrivers in lunch wagons
and other places they stop at, in
passing through this borough. At
n time when night traffic was at
its height, there were threats OF
complaidts being made to the state
board OF health and the motor ve-
hicle department about the unneees-
sary noises
One of the main reasons for the
falling of in trucking, is the ulti-
matum issued by the insurance
companies TO trucking companies
who have been carting liquor. The
insurance people. it is claimed have
threatened to cancel policies on
trucks used for carting liquor, on
account of the many holdups and
chances taken in losing truck and
cargo.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-01-21

The meeting was very largely at
tended and was characterized by
some plain talking. Seeming a plan
which would permit the big bank
ing interests of the state to encroach
upon the smaller financial institu-
lions. the representatives of the lat
ter, under the leadership of William
J. Couse, president of the Asbury
Park Trust Company. launched an
attack upon the scheme which swept
the proponents off their feet, and
hen the motion to reject the pro-
posal was put by Charles II. Laird,
vice president of the association and
vice president of the West Jersey
Trust Company. Camden, there was
not a dissenting voice.
The executive committee of the
bankers organization had previous
ly gone on record by a vote of four
teen to five in favor of the bill,
which included the branch bank and
merger plan. Praise was heard from
some quarters in yesterdays meet
ing for the merger feature, but when
the membership of the. association
had its chance at the branch scheme
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-01-21

being advanced. but the real ques-
ton is the branch bank idea, and 1t
Is camouflage to say that Is not the
situation. The history of this plan
is that 1t was first passed by he
legislature in 1918 on a county plan,
and that was a wedge post. The
next year a bill making 1t state
wide was preached and then the
bankers, seeming the danger, de-
feated 1t and had the act of 1913
repealed. In 1915 also we took a
referendum on the question and 95
per cen of the independent mem
bers of this association voted
against II.
I'VE have no right to call a meet
ing to consider a question that was
rejected by the membership to that
extent. I'll vote for the bill II you'll
eliminae that section about the
branch banks and ] hope this body
will go on record against the prop
osition so that 1t will eve come
up again.
