by Senator Morgan +. Larson re-
garding the workings of the state

greatest difficulty the lawmakers

who usually has to foot the bill,
shows little interest.

who was the organizer of the Perth
Amboy club, was present and made
a few complimentary remarks on the
progress of the local organization.
The entertainment committee IN
nounced that the ladies' night has
been fixed for May 10 at the New

ner followed by a dance.
The Rotarians have agreed to can
vass Smith street from the ferry to

terday when the Transit Commission
of the City of New York set asids
the new tariff filed by the company
under which after May 1 commuters
would have been forced TO pay the
regular rate to st. George plus the
Ave cent fare on the ferry to reach
South Ferry. Manhattan.
The new tariffs were flied as the
result of a notice from Commissioned
Grover S. Whalen of the Department
of Plants and Structures that after
May 1 no more Communication tickets
on the ferry would be issued. In its
letter to the company ordering a
hearing on the rates the commission
wrote:
THE effect of this change will be
to increase the revenue of the rail-
road approximately S24.472 a year,
and 1t will increase the transporta-
ton expenses of the commuter APP
proximately $2.45 a month. Nothing
has been advanced tending to indi-
cate that the railroad company is in
need of additional evenu in order
to provide proper and adequate SER
vice"
Following the posting of the no.
tees by Commissioner Whalen that
the Communication rate would be dis
continued a storm of protest was
heard on all sides and petitions were
put in circulation with the result
that the matter was taken up TO
Mayor Hylan for his consideration.

The state highway commission mas
appeared before the Board OF Free

the installation of a thirty-two foot
road under the state plan. but the
freeholders have side-stepped y
issue from time to time. Possible
Interference with other road plans OF
The boarh. and the fact that the
county would be subjected TO a
heavy expenditure for interest pay
ments on the bond issue that would
q necessary, have been the prin-
cipal objections expressed by the
BOARD.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture, however, a section aas inserted
in the state aid act pr1viding fOr
payment of interest as well as prin-
.ipal at the end of the five-year term

state law the county may put the

that sparks will fly if any other ma

upon using warrenite the paving
proposition will be tied up by a GER
tiorari action In the courts.
Reasons for the opposition center
around the statement that while the
present roadway was built even

investment because less than twenty
i've per cent of the bonds issued for
the work have been retired and the
road itself is worn out.
