Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-10-18

come closer than a distance of 200
feet from the easterly side of Rose
well street. and the operation of the
ferry shall not unreasonably inter-
fere with the free and uninterrupted
use of Roosevelt street."
The other sections deal with the
protection of the sanitary sewer
system and the storm W system
from damage due to the operation
of the ferry boats. The company has
permission to change the course of
the sewer systems If it is necessary
to do so, at their own expense.
The ferry company is to fill in that
portion of Henry street, which lies
between the north side of the city
dock and the land of the ferry COM
pany for a distance OF 800 feet from
the easterly side of Roosevelt street,
this section to remain a public thor
o~ughfare.
In further consideration OF the
rights granted to the ferry company,
the company agrees to give sufficient
of it's lands at the foot of John and
Henry street, to the city for the pur-
pose of widening Roosevelt street to
a width of seventy-five feet.
Councilman Delaney has suggest
ed, and the matter is expected to be
brought to the attention of the ferry
company, that instead of paving
John street from curb to curb. the
ferry company bear the expense of
placing a storm sewer in the center
of John street. leaving a ten foot
space from Broadway to Roosevelt
street in the center of John street,
and the pavement or each side of
the proposed space.
The idea of Councilman Delaney
is to beautify the street by having
some of the local persons or organ
izations interested in civic improve
ments plant a garden for the entire
stretch from Broadway to Roosevelt
street. 1t would mean that on each
side of the flower garden would be
two distinct driveways of thirty feet
leading to the ferry. The move is
considered one worthy of attention
and will in all probability be worked
out, providing the ferry company
feels inclined to accept the sugges-
ton. 1t is understood that the erec-
ton of the storm sewer in the center
of the street would be about equal
to the expense of paving the strip
in question.
If the plans are carried out by the
ferry company South Amboy will be
benefited considerably.
Should the ferry officials deem 1t
wise to travel over Bordentown ave-
nue. it will mea that the railroad
companies undoubtedly will have to
build a substantial structure over
their tracks on this street.
Despite the opposition by the
Public Service Railway Company
and the Jersey Central Traction
Company to James Douckaz of this
city securing permission to add an
extra bus to the Perth Amboy and
South Amboy line. the request was
granted by the Public Utility Board,
John Samuelson. a property own
err of George street, notified the
council that he intended to lay his
own sidewalk on George street in
accordance with the permission
granted by the council.
The council received a commune.
cation from the members of the
Progressive Hose Company inviting
them to attend the first annual cele-
bration of that company to be held

instructed to notify the hose com.
pany that the council would accep!
the invitation.
The Italo American Society in q
communication thanked the mem
bers of the council for attending
their recent ball held on the eve OF
Columbus Day in the high schoo,
auditorium.
