Governor Will Make State
ment Soon on Entering Race
for U. S. Senate

TRENTON, April 1.-THE en-
trance of Governor Edwards into the
field as the Democratic candidate for
United States senator seemed immi-
nent today. Although no announce
ment was made today on the sub
ject. all signs point 10 his being a
candidate. The pressure TO get him
into the race has evidently overcome
the opposition of the directors of
his bank in Jersey City.
1t was stated from authoritative
sources today that definite state
ment from the executive will likely
be issued at the end Of this week.
1t is predicted on all sides that he
will then declare himself in the fight.
This, OF course, will mean the retire
ment of State Senator Alexander
Simpson, also OF Hudson. who took
the position during the last legisla-
ture that he would not be a candi-
date If Mr.. Edwards entered the
race. The governor viii have as MS

AMb0Y AVENUE
WORK At ONCE
Temporary Repairs Will be
Started This Week by the
County
MEETING ON HIGHWAY
Further Action Will be Taken
Thursday by City and
County

Members of the Board of Free
holders. the Board of Aldermen and
representatives of the Barber As
phalt Paving Company made an in
spection of Amboy avenue from ms
lee street to the city line yesterday
afternoon, going over also the pro-
posed new route through the prop
erty owned by the asphalt company.
No representative of the State High
way Commission was present. al
though President George l.. Burton
was expected to attend. City En-
gineer Morgan F. Larson had run
line of stakes through the Barber
Asphalt Company's property. show
ing the proposed location of the new
road IL it was decided to abandoned
Amboy avenue as it is at present.
Some of the freeholders were sur
prised at the layout of the land
through which the new proposed
route would pass and claimed that
the grading. cutting and filling OF
the stretch over which the road
would pass would cost as much as
the paving itself. Bogs. clay pits
containing water, low spots ana
high elevations were found and the
freehoiders agreed that the new
route would be a big Improvement
out that 1t would require three. four
or possibly five years to do the work.
The county, according to Director
William Dey, could not assist the
city in doing the grading work over
the new route as they can only take
over roads which exist. At the pres
ent time, the director said. no road
exists and consequently the county
cannot financially aid the city. II
the city went ahead and financed the
grading which, Director Dey said.
would amount to about as much as
the actual paving of the road. then
the county might take 1t over.
In the absence of state highway
officials it could not be learned what
assistance could be expected from
the state in this work. After the
inspection of the new proposed route
the remarks Of the members OF the
party would indicate that attemp-
ting to put through a new road
would be too big a task as the ex-
pense involved would be too much
for the city or county under present
conditions. When the city was told
they would have to finance the grad
ing of the proposition. the city faith
ers turned their attention to the
present road in hopes of having 1t
repaired.
The inspection party went over
the road from end to end and Free
holder Quakenbush said that the
road will be repaired temporarily If
nothing else as the conditions are
detrimental to traffic and endanger
human life. The freeholders said
they would take this matter up
again at their meeting Thursday and
Alderman-at-Large Richard j. Gal
win informed them that he and the
aldermanic street committee would
again meet with them.
An adjourned meeting of the al
dermen was held last night for the
purpose of passing a resolution ask
ing the county to return Amboy ave-
nue. to the city, but as result OF
yesterday afternoons inspection the
aldermen decided to leave the road
with the county. AS a result no ac-
ton was taken on this matter at
the meeting.

BREAKER BOYS ENJOY LIFE
WHILE STRIKE CONTINUES

WILKES-BARRE, April 11.-Re-
leased by the suspension in mining
operations from the dusty confines
of the great gaunt structures that
dot the anthracite coal regions. the
breaker-boys are having the time
of their young lives in reveling IN
the fresh air and sunshine.
Baseball claimed the attention OF
the majority but others spent mucn
time in the woods or fishing in the
nearby streams. The love of the OLD
swimming holes also is strong ana
the more venturesome have al
ready tested the water. despite the
chill in the mountain streams.
Many noted men have risen from
breaker boys. the wages earned al
the mines paving their way for SEMI
nary or college education. There Is
scarcely a business nor profession Ia
which some of them had not risen
to fame. Cardinal Dougherty Is a
product of the breaker. Many others
are renowned In both Cathoiic anu
Protestant churches.

The ferry house of the Staten

Company seemed doomed to en-
tire destruction for a time this
afternoon when a fire started in
the rear of the building, a gas
torch being used to burn old
paint off the building was re-
sponsible for the FIRE. The
painters ran into the building
for a hose, but found it was too
short to reach the flames and one
of the painters, Arthur Moeller,
Of Huguenot Park, s. l.. turned
in an alarm from box ~, Smith

The high wind aided in the
spread of the blaze which was
gaining great headway between
the inner and outer boards Of the

ed. The damage Is estimated at
several hundred dollars and an
investigation has been started by
representatives of the transit

The Pennsylvania, Central and Le-

that 1t will be impossible to operate Z

present at the hearing and as a re-
suit many particular OF his plans
which the railroads wanted explain
ed could not be interpreted.
Although the railroads ciaimeo
the Smith plans were impractlcapie
the aldermen have decided 10 con-
tinue their fight for the adoption OF
them and not resort to the plans
prepared by Louis P. Booz, their
special engineer, according to AL
derman-at-large Richard ]. Calvin:
The railroads have submitted
their plans showing what they pro-

Plan to Merge Chamber Of

Although plans were discussed last
night at the meeting Of the directors
of the Chamber of Commerce to
unite this organization with the
Perth Amboy Industrial Association.
nothing definite will be decided upon
the matter until the members meet
ing which has been called for Thurs
day night in the Chamber of Com
merce headquarters. Notices of the
meeting will be sent to all members
and it is hoped that a large number
will be present.
The notice for the meeting reads.
"A special meeting will be held in

First National Bank building. Thurs
day evening. April IS. at o'clock
for the purpose of passing on plans
to unite the Perth Amboy Industrial
Association and the Chamber of
Commerce into one strong organiza-
ton. Kindly make special effort to
be present.
According to what can be learned
regarding the proposed combining
of the organizations today, there are
not enough people in the city to sup
port O Chamber of Commerce as a
permanent organization, while by
uniting the Industrial Association
and the Chamber of Commerce a
strong organization would be formed
which wouii cc permanent.
There is nothing to indicate at this
time. however, that the joining Of
the two organizations is to be an es-
tablished fact, for although the di-
rectors Of the Chamber of Commerce
may look with favor on the matter.
the members on Thursday night may
vote against it. 1t is likely that the
talk of combining the two organiza-
tions will come as a great surprise
to many of the members.
