URGES HOUSING ACTION

In order to create new housing
laws in the state and put stop to
rent profiteering, Assemblyman Ed
ward Peterson of this city, today
telegraphed Governor Edward j.
Edwards. requesting q special ses-
sion of the legislature to act on this
matter.
The telegram reads:
Governor Edward /. Edwards:
May l not suggest that you call
special session of the legislature and
recommend enactment of adequate
housing laws in line with the New
York State statutes which have leen
declared valid by the United States
supreme court to stop rent profiteer-
ing which continues in spite of the
present wage reductions and unem-
ployment."
Asse mblyman Peterson said this
morning that the Republican party
had promised in its platform cer-
tain housing reforms and that he
had drawn up a big. No. 101, along
the lines of the Wisconsin housing
act, which in his estimation would
relieve many existing bad conditions,
but he had been unable to get this
bill out of committee during the
last session of the House.
Assemblyman Arthur Fl. Nelson,
of Jersey City. also drew up a hous-
ing bill, Mr.. Peterson said. which
was beaten at first but finally was
passed by the house and went to the

CANNOT REPAIR
CITY STREETS
Col. Gilmore Serves Notice on
Aldermen and Metuchen
Council at Meeting.
'EMERGENCY HOWEVER
Matter Rests With Ten Cent
Fare Issue Now Before the
Utility Board, He Claims.
'EM ERGENCY' HOWEVER

Col. Gilmore. counsel for the Pub.>
lie Service Railway Comaany, has
served notice on both of tire Perth
Amboy Board of Aldermen and the
Metuchen Borough Council that lack
of funds will make impossible Ger.
tain road repairs and improvements
which these two governing bodies
have been endeavoring to securN for
a. long time. Col. Gilmore was p9es.
ent at the aldermanic meeting Mst
night and addressed the mbersNt t
considerable length during they
committee session. declaring that q
would be impossible for the PUblitN
Service Company to lower their track
in outer Smith street from the car
barn west to the city line and pave
between these tracks this year. In
Metuchen. where the council Is con !.
templating paving northern Main
street, Col. Gilmore informed them
that it would be impossible for the
railway company to pay its share OF
the work.
According to Alderman Christian
Andersen a representative Of the
Public Service company promised
the local officials last year that the
paving on outer Smith street from
the car barn west would be done a.
soon as the railway company's men
had completed the work on New
Brunswick avenue along the car
tracks between Abel Hansen's prop
erty and Main street. Col. Gilmore
declared last night that no repre-
sentative of the Public Service COM
pany had been authorized to make
any such promise. The local alder
man persisted, however, declaring
that the trolley company had prom
ised to bring the same gang o.
workmen to Perth Amboy tU finisn
the Smith street job.
Col. Gilmore said the Public Serv-
ice Company was on the verge Of
going into the hands of the receiv-
ers unless a ten cent fare could be
secured. He told of the company
losing millions of dollars as the re-
suit of jitney competition and de-
clared that expenditures were being
kept down to the minimum.
The Smith street work from the
carbarn westward is on the "emer-
sency" list. Col. Gilmore said and it
was possible that this work would
be done next year. He did not say
how many other jobs were ON this
list which would receive considera- ;
ton before the Smith street work.
His talk failed to impress the alder
men who were solid in their belief
that the company had broken Its
promise to the city and the city
clerk was instructed to communicate
with the company and ask that
the carbarn be repaired along the
tracks and that the paving from the
carbarn to the city line be complet-

Action at Metuchen

METUCHEN, April. 1s-Metu-
chen has been left in the cold" as
far as the Public Service Railway
Company is concerned in paving
northern Main street, according to
Borough Attorney Westley Brenner
who brought the matter before the
council last night. The council has
been anticipating the paving Of
outer Main street for some time and
took up with the trolley company
the matter of their financing the
Iaving between tracks. Col. Gill
more, the Public Service \counsei.
has informed the borough Attorney
that it will be impossible for the
trolley company to do anythingA this
year because of lack of funds. We
visited Metuchen about two wee. h.
ago and went over the situation
with Mr.. Brenner.
Since trolley company has refused
to finance their share of work the
council is now considering having
the work done and recovering from
the Public Service Company their
share of the expense by Court acc
ton. The council has not yet def
nitely decided upon the paving of
north Main street, but discussed this
matter at length in committee ses-
sion.
Complaints are numerous here
owing to the manner in which the
"Toonerville trolley" is operated. At
present rail on the upper end of
Main street is broken and no effort
has been made to repair it, making
it necessary for the trolley to stop
between Chestnut and WalnuN
streets. People living near or going
to the northern end of the line are
obliged to walk TO this point to get.
a trolley.
