HEAVY AUTO TRAFFIC
THROUGH CITY SUNDAY

Automobile traffic over the ferry
and through the city yesterday and
Saturday was almost as heavy as
during the summer. 1t Is estimated
that about fifteen hundred cars had
passed over the ferry of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit from Totem
vile TO this city over the week end.
Double that number Is said to have
passed over the state bridge between
this city and South Amboy going and
coming from the shore during the
same time. The Easter holiday is
said to have brought the large num-
ber OF machines out. There were
two boats on the route over the ferry
that kept the half hour schedule
without a hitch.
Patrolmen William Kilmurray, Jo-
seph Gaydos. Carl Monroe, James
MCGOWAN and William Peterson
were detailed on special traffic duty
yesterday at points throughout the
city where traffic was heaviest. I'm
der the present plan, the regular
afHc Isen- have Sunday off. Traffic
rough this city yesterday was the
eaviest of the year. and the cars
were handled in a most satisfactory
manner, no accidents being report
ed-along the main highways. Chief
Tounesen stated this morning that
the shortage of men will probably
prevent him from appointing the
regular summer traffic men for some
time.

the plant was started there were
numerous little kinks to be work.
ed out and they art still developing
When operation was started it was
found that the cost of operating the
plant would be much heavier than
was anticipated, hence a study had
to be made of the cost. In turn a
study of the revenue was made and
recently on increase in the water
rates was necessary in order to meet
the increased cost of operation.
The water department is making
a complete survey of the city in an
effort to cut down the waste of
water. A house to house canvass is
being made in order to make a COM
plete survey. 1t has been recon-
mended that the entire city be "me-
tered" and the council may soon
take a step in that direction.
AS matters pertaining to the
water department come before the
