ADR|F:T IN BOAT
DURING STORM
Presence of Mind Saves Local
Man and Son in the Bay
Here

Prevented from reaching shore by
tide. Raymond Sears of South First
street. with his eight year old son
Harry, went through an experience
on the bay Thursday afternoon that
might easily have ended disastrous
ly.
Sears was grabbing in a flat bot
toned rowboat. When the first storm
warnings appeared shortly after 3
o'clock he ceased his Grabbing opera
tions and attempted to row ashore,
He was delayed, however, for a half
hour by the passage of two oil
steamers and when he resumed his
progress the tide had turned. Sears
was unable to make headWay against
the strong current and drifted down
the bay after he exhausted his
strength IN futile pulling at the
oars.
Passing near an oyster bed Sears
dropped his anchor overheard, but
wind and tide caused the craft to
continue to drift. AS the boat slid
past a stake the man passed rope
Ground it, made fast. and then be-

cruiser Annie III, which docks at
the foot of Madison avenue, heard
the cries Tor assistance and started

strength and was able to row ashore

Sewer System Change
Necessary; Mayor Says,
Will Need City Funds

Mayor Wilson, In a letter to the
aldermen which will be read at their
meeting Monday night, points out
the need Cf immediate action on the
part of the council in changing the
sewer syste min the western part
of the city so that the grade cross
ing elimination plans of the rail-
roads might not be held up. A bond
issue will be necessary to finance
this work, the mayor says, and as it
will act against the city's debt limit
he urges conservatism on the part
of the aldermen in making other
improvements until it is known just
how much the cost of this sewer
work will be.
The letter to the aldermen is
dated July g and was turned over to
thS city clerk this morning for pre-
sentation at Monday nights meet
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1922-07-15

ing. The utility commission has or
dered the railroads to commence
actual work on the crossing elimi-
nation by January ] of next year the
mayor points out, and until the city
has cared for the sewer problem the
railroads will not be able to PRO-
ceed with their work.
The letter in full follows:
July s, 1922.
Board Of Aldermen, g
City of Perth Amboy, N. J. Z.
In Re Elimination of Grade
Crossings.
"Gentlemen-You have already
been advised by the Board of Public
Utility Commission that the work in
the above matter must proceed be-
fore January /, 1928.
Under the said order, it will be
necessary that a change be made in
the sewer system in the western
part of the city. This. as l have
been informed, would involve con-
siderable money. 1 do not believe
that your board desires to hold up
the speedy elimination of said cross
ings, but unless your board takes
immediate steps to proceed towards
the change in the sewer system, the
ceed, as the laying of the new sew
ers is preliminary to such work on
the part of the railroad.
I'm this connection, it might be
advisable when the sewer matter is
taken up to include in said plans a
change in the present system at the
foot of streets east of the railrsed
so that the sewers might be extefd-
ed beyond low water mark in or
der to eliminate the smells COM
planned of by the residents in the
neighborhood.
II am informed that the cost of
the new system must be taken care
of by bond issue which, of course,
will be charged up against the debt
limit. and unless we go slowly on
other improvements, there may not
be sufficient funds in the city's mar
gin to proceed with such necessary
work. / am, therefore, communi-
eating with your board, and hope
you will take the aforesaid matters
into consideration before going too
far into making other improvements.
Very truly yours,

Wilted Olive Branch

CHICAGO, July 10 (By The AS

which yesterday filtered between
separate gatherings OF railway exec
utives and leaders of the striking
shopcrafts today bore a somewhat
wilted olive branch which Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the United
States Railroad Labor. Board hore-
fully tried to freshen.
Mr.. Hooper announced that he
had encountered 'fundamentar'
difficulties in his efforts to bring
about peace but with more parleys
in prospect. the situation gave
promise of a. new approach to set
t,ement or at least to negotiations
out of which an agreement hight
he reached to meet on common
grounds. Rail heads and strike
leaders moved close enough to-
gether to meet in separate rooms at
the same hotel while Mr.. Hooper
was at least somewhat convenient
In his peace missions. Neither side,
however, made enough concessions
to provide substantial optimism.
E. +. Cradle, president of the
United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way employees and railroad shop
laborers, who faces rebellion in the
ranks of his organization, left Chi
cago for Washington with the avow-
I,ed attempt of fighting every move
of the red flag" element in the
ranks. He declared that no strike
action by maintenance men would
be sanctioned by him unless the
men are ',coerced" in;o it by the
railroads attempting to force main
tenance men to perform duties
usually done by shop men now on
strike.
Mr.. Cradle went to Washington
TO confer with President Harding on
the threatened walkout by common
labor on the road.
The encouragement in Mr. CRADLES
attitude was partly offset, however,
by the strike call for stationary fire.
