BRIDGE OPENED
At NOON TO-DAY

Cars on Some Parts of

Completed
TR0LLEYS ARE RUNNING

The state bridge over the Raritan
river between this city and South
Amboy opened at noon today for
traffic after being closed for a week
to allow repairs being made to the
draw span and to give Contracto"
Gus Wickberg a chance to speed up
the work of replanking. Owing TO
the presence on the bridge of large
piles of materials and various pieces
of machinery and a tool shanty there
are several spots where two cars
cannot pass, there just being room
for one car to slowly wend its way
across
The buses resumed traffic with
the opening of the bridge, these cars
having Just about Sufficien- room %
pass the distractions. Trucks of Il
greater width would likely find It
impossible to get over the structure.
The trolley cars started to run
over the bridge at 10 o'clock this
morning and the prospects of the
bridge being open for other traffic
at any time today seemed slight.
The work of laying new planking
was speeded up, however, and by
noon the bridge had been cleared
to such an extent that cars could
pass over it.
There are. sections of the bridge
where the old railing was torn down
and has not been replaced by new.
In these spots the old planking have
been laid along to a height of about
one foot, forming a curb. Owing tn
the poor condition of the planking
in places on this side of the bridge
cars can proceed at only low rate
of speed. The part of the bridge
south of the draw is in good condi-
ton, the planking having been COM
pleted, Trucks We're removing the
old planks from this section of the
bridge today, these planks having
been stored along the railing follow
ing their renewal

eloped with Hazel Brunen. the sew
enteen-year-ol daughter of Honest

To Discuss Distribution Of
German Reparation Payment

PARIS, March 13.-The decision
reached by the allied finance minis
ters Saturday as to a distribution OIL
the first billion marks of German re-
paration payment among the allies'
will probably be brought to attention
of the allied reparations committee
in time for discussion at tomorrow $
meeting. The committee also Will re-
ceiye notification that the allied gov

reply, the recent German memoran-
dunn concerning reparation payment.
The American claim for S241 IJ0,-

ceive different treatment. having
been referred by the finance minis
ters to their governments when
probably will lead to direct negotla-
tions.
The claim of the United States re-
garding in allied circles as on par
with the allied claims on Germany
according to high authorities. Inc
question, it was indicated, was one
of method rather than of prlnciple,
all idea of claiming that the treaty
of Versailles constituted a first mort
gage on Germany's facilities for pay
ment having been rejected and the
rights of the United States to collect
at the same time as the allies, be-
ing conceded.
What remains to be determined IL
was stated is whether the repara-
tions commission is the proper col
lective agent for the United states.
What the preponderance of opinion
on the question may be has not de-
veloped but when the question was
put at the finance minister's confer
ence the answer was in the aflirma-
