GAS C0NTA|NER
To Be ERECTED
Will be Placed on Present Site
J. w. WheIan of Company
Declares
UNLESS CITY BUYS SITE
Will Sell Now, He Says, But
Not When Additional Equip
ment is Placed

Unless the city acts quickly it Will
be impossible for it to purchase the
present site of the manufacturing
plant of the Perth Amboy Gas Light
Company for park purposes. This
information was obtained from John
w. Whelan following the meeting Of
the board of directors of the com
pany here yesterday. At he present
time the company will sell but un-
less the deal is completed within the
course of two or three months 1t
will be too late, as it is planned to
erect a 100000 cubic foot cCntainer
on the site south of the present park
before the heavy summer business
begins. Two water gas sets will
also be installed and this means
that after these improvements are
made the company will decline TO
dispose of the property.
At the directors meeting yesterday
the plans for r9--the--containers and
water gas sets were gone over ana II
is proposed, according to Mr.. Whalen
to uotain tie permission in the near
future of TIE Pub:ic Utility Commits
sion to borrow the money necessary
for the improvements.
Mr.. Whean in discussing the pro-
ject said that the property had been
appraised By Fraser Brothers and
valued at $56,175 while the buildings
and machinery used for the manu-
ia acture OF gas was appraised at
$500, 900, and this was the price the
city s: ou.d pay, he held. lie sald
that the aldermen Of the city at
conferenC held with the, gas COM
pany some time ago, did not impress
upJn tn company that the city
wanted the property so the plans
for improving the present plant for
better service to the consumer was
decided upGn.
The building of a new container
and installation of two water gas
sets, Mr.. Whelan said would cost the
company in the neighborhood of
$175,000, and the company would not
sell to the city after these improve
ments are made. 1--WE don't consid-
er any corporation can be indepen-
dent against the good will of the
people," said Mr.. Whelan, but held
that if the improvements were made
it might prevent the city from ever
getting the site, which he admitted
were ideal for park purposes. He
said the company would be willing
to meet at an early date with com
mittee of the Board of Aldermen and
again take up the matter.
The company expects to have the
improvements to the plant completed
by early summer so that the pres
sure to the consumers in this city
will be better than in previous years.
The new holder will be six times the
| size of the present one.
Questioned as to a reduction in
rates for the city, Mr.. Whelar stated
hA Xvnl1lH NOT hlVp
| the books for December written up
before January 25. and until that IS
| done the action of the company in
| reducing the rates will not be
known. He said this matter would
lie taken up with the Board of AL

Party First.

Senator Kenyon Of Iowa gave
his colleagues in the senate a
real rundown the other day
when he said he did not expect
they would vote Newberry out
OF the senate. Newberry is a
Republican. and as they are in
the majority and the vote will
be practically on a party line,
as Senator Kenyon said, New
berry will retain his seat. Mr..
Kenyon also said that had New
berry been a Democrat and the
Democrats in the majority the
result would have been the same.
The records show that Newberry
spent $263.000 in his senatorial
campaign but no one knows how
much more was spent. Appar-
emily party is placed above law
and decency in the senate but
Mr.. Kenyon has the courage to
say SO.

IN the next primary campaign
the voters will have an oppor-

plan Of convention system. The
last legislature. while il did not
modest the primary law which
provides for holding primary
elections in June, added a pre-
convention feature which will
endorse candidates for the prim-
aries. This convention will be
held in March. Delegates are to
be elected at a county conven-
ton at the time of holding the
spring township and village cleo
tions. The county convention in
turn will elect delegates to the
state convention. While the on
ly official function Of the county
conventions is to select delega-
tiOnS to the state convention
there is considerable discussion
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
county conventions endorsing
candidates for the legislature
and this procedure may be fol-
lowed in many Of the counties.
Each political party will elect it's
own delegates and hold separate
county and state conventions.
The candidates endorsed by the
state conventions will have
placed on the primary election
ballot opposite their names the
words Endorsed by Convention"
Candidates other than those en-
dorsed by conventions are free
to file for the primary nomina-
fion in June.
