idle MEN ARE
NOW At WORK
Employment Bureau Reports
Placing Over 800 Men at
Work in Vicinity
PLANTS ON FULL TIME
More Men Are Being Added
to Pay Rolls Every Day
It Is Reported

Labor conditions in this city show
more improvement today than in
some time past. Many of the plants
that have been idle or working on
part time during the past few
months, have begun operations and
in some instances are reported to be
working at full capacity. The Fed
eral, State and Municipal Employ
ment Bureau here. reports that since
October, when the registration OF
the unemployed was begun, a total
of sos men have been placed in posi-
tions. The future. according to all
indications today is bright for in
creased work at the industries in this
city.
According to the report of the
employment bureau, up to April 1
the total applicants for employment
at that office have numbered 2,113.
OF this number 500 have been
ed that during this month employ
ment will be found for many others.
OF the 500 men placed in employ
ment by the Office. los were ex-
service men.
Among the activities that show To-
cal industry to be improving is the
fact that shipments OF raw material
from South America, England and
other foreign ports are becoming
more frequent. Each week the To-
cal custom house reports ship loads
of material arriving in local waters
and as soon as the vessels are un-
loaded they obtain clearance papers
to sail after another cargo. All OF
this material is in its raw state when
unloaded in this port and is manu-
factured into the finished product IN
local plants and shipped by rail ana
water to the consumers.
Among the plants which are re-
ported to show an increase in opera
tions during the past month are:
The American Smelling q Refining
Company, National Fireproofing
United Lead Company.
Standard Underground Gable Com
pany and the Raritan Copper Works.
At the American Smelling & Refin-
ing Company, it is reported that a
large number of men have been em-
pIoyed, the National Fireproofing
Company is reported to be working
at capacity, the men being employed
ten hours a day. The United Lead
is also reported to be working at ca
pacity with enough orders on hand
to keep the plant busy for a year.
Many men from this city and out
lying communities have been given
employment at the Morgan Ordnance
Depot where salvage work is under
way. 1t is reported that efforts are
being made to have some large con-
Germ take over the government de-
pot for a manufacturing site as soon
as the government vacates. If this
is possible 1t will mean that en-
ployment will be furnished for more
local people.
1t was learned today that large
Industry desires to locate in this
city. The company, whose name
could not be learned. desires 100000
square feet of floor space and will
employ in the neighborhood of 800
people, Efforts are now being made
to obtain a suitable location for the
industry here.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
MOVE IN WOODBRIDGE

Petitions are being circulated in
Fords today by advocates of commits
sion government for Woodbridge
township. it being understood that
several prominent leaders of 10th
parties have given their support to
this new move. When the petitions
have been signed by all of those re-
siding in Fords who desire change
in government from the present
township committee system, the reti-
tions will be taken to Woodbridge,
proper, Sewaren, Port Reading,
Avenel. Keasbey and all other parts
of the township.
There seems to be little doubt on
the part of those favoring the COM
mission government idea that suf-
ficient signatures will be secured on
the petitions to result in an election
being held to decide whether or not
the new form of government shall
be adopted.
This move is not the result of
agitation by a body of "sore-heads,
i. ia claimed. but is the result of
concentrated action by those who be-
lieve that the interests of Wood
bridge township could be better
served by a commission government.

AMb0Y AVENUE
ACTION TODAY
Aldermen Before FreehoIders
in Move to Get This High .
way Repaired at Once

Aldermen Thomas Patten, Albert
q. Waters and John j. Clark, con-
stitutiug the aidermanic street COM
mittee, and City Engineer Morgan r.
Larson, confer with the freeholders
this afternoon for the purpose OF
deyising ways and means to pave
.Amboy avenue from Myrtle street to
the city line. This committee was
named to represent the city at Mon.
day nights meeting OF the councii
In an effort to figure out by cooper
ating with the county and state
highway commission, some means Oh
financing this much needed improve
ment.
The road between Perth Amboy
and Woodbridge Is now in such
condition that it has been found nee
eccary to dump cinders in the worse
holes in order to make traffic less
dangerous. The big holes have been
filled, thus doing away with the
worst spots but heavy-week-end-t
fic or a hard rain storm will return
the road to it's previous poor condi-
ton. Red lights were put out py
the police early in the week warning
motorists of the worst spots.
1t is probable now that the state,
county and city are working togeth-
er on this problem that some means
win be found to finance the work,
with each bearing a portion OF the
cost. A street paved from curb TO
curb is desired. The state. 1T is un-
derstood, is willing to finance
twenty-two-foot road and If the
forty-foot road is desired the county
and city may be asked to pay the
cost of this work on ffty-hfty
basis.
Owing to the street paving pro.
gram which the city has adopted
this year little money remains to De
used on Amboy avenue unless the
aldermen decide to let the other
streets go for another year without
pavements and use this money on
Amboy avenue.
+. A report of what transpires at to.
days meeting with the freeholders
will be made to the council at their
adjourned meeting on Monday
night.
A new route for this road through
the lands of the Barber Asphalt
Paving Company, which would re-
suit in less grade and easier turns,
has been suggested and it is posi-
BILE this will also be considered. II
this new route is decided upon the
present road can be used as de-
tour during the road construction.
Otherwise cars must detour by way
of State street and Sewaren or New
Brunswick avenue and Fords.
