SHEEHY ENTERS
RACE FOR MAYOR
Owing to Urgent Requests of
Friends He Announces Can
didacy Today

John X. Sheehy, well known Smith
street merchant, today definitely an
nounced his candidacy at the fa;i
primaries for the mayoralty nomina-
tion on the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Sheehy's name has been mentioned
considerably of late in Democratic
circles as possible candidate but
until Monday he has declined to
either affirm or deny the reports
that he would be candidate.
Mr.. Sheehy this morning said:
Owing to the fact that so many
urgent requests have been made Of
me by my friends to enter the race,
l have finally consented to be a can
d.Gate for mayor at the fall prim-
aries. / have never before taken
an active part in politics, this be-
ing due to the fact that when 1 was
elected to the Board of Education
seventeen years ago one of the
pledges l made to the people at that
time was to keep the public school
system free from politics.
II feel that this pledge has been
religiously kept by myself and by
those with whom 1 have been as
scciated. l also feel that if elected
mayor, there is no reason why our
city affairs cannot be conducted
along the same business lines as
those of the schools"
Mr.. Sheehy is a past exalted ruler
of the Perth Amboy Lodge of Elks.
a past grand knight of the Knights
of Columbus and has been president
of the Perth Amboy Board of Edn-
cation for the past sixteen years. be-
ing the head of that board at the
present time.

An opinion of the city attorney

was made by Alderman Waters 10

This motion was opposed by Alder
men Sofield and Riedy. Alderman
Clark voted in favor of it but in
sisted that his former motion. made
Monday night. was legal and correct
A motion was then made that the
resolution be passed over the may
or's veto, it being passed by a hve
to two vote. the Republicans oppos--
irg it. Alderman Clark informed
the board that this is the first time
any measure has DCCh AC6 any PetloSN
over the mayors veto for many
years. He said he was vitality inter-
ested in this particular case and
therefore had insisted that it be le-
gally passed. In order to be legal,
the fifth ward alderman said. mea-
sure vetoed by the mayor must be
reintroduced and passed after the
veto has not been sustained.
The resolution naming Harry S,
Medinets as special counsel reads as

WATER RATES
ARE INCREASED
Commissioners Pass ReSoIu-
ton on Second and Final
Reading at Meeting
SOME OBJECTIONS HEARD
Departments Expenses Given
as Cause for Boost in
Charges for City

On second and final reading the
resolution authorizing increase OF
water rates was passed at the meet
ing of the water commissioners held
in City Hall last night. The new
rates are, SO per quarter for one
thousand cubic feet, and seventeen
cents per hundred cubic feet over
one thousand with a two per cent.
discount on bills totaling 500 or a
maximum discount of thirty-five per
cent on bills totaling $1,750.
The resolution when first intro
duced and passed on its initial read
Ing read SO per quarter for 1900
cubic feet, but Commissioner Fred
Hansen had same changed to 1000
cubic feet. Efforts were made to
make a change in the other section
of the resolution, Commissioners
Hansen favoring a twenty cent
charge per hundred cubic feet over
one thousand, and another sugges-
ton was made that the rate be
made eighteen cents per hundred
cubic feet, but the latter amendmen;
was lost out when the commission
ers voted two in favor and two
against same.
When Commissioner Hansen spoke
of the financial condition of the wa
ter board, the fact that the board is
losing $4,000 a month now and is
$4,000 short to date. he suggested
that an increase be made SO as to
affect all consumers alike. Commits
sioner c. c. Baldwin, in reply to
Commissioner Hansen's suggestion
that the large, consumers rate be
increased to twenty cents per hun
dred cubic feet, asked if he wanted
to chase the manufacturers out OF
town.
A communication from Braver-
man e. Smith the board of water
commissioners regarding the manner
in which the books of the board are
kept, was referred to the city comp
troller. A letter to the superinten-
dent of the board, regarding stan
dardizing of fire hose and hydrant
threads in this city, was ordered an
swered by the clerk. The board Is
not in a position at this time to make
this improvement.
The financial report of the board
for the month of April was received
and approved. This report showed

receipts amounting to $27,91S.S9
during the month of April, disburse-
ments of $9.256.S9 and balance IN

Commissioner Stas introduced a
resolution calling for the establish
ment of pipe line on Raritan ave.
nue. and Packer place, and same was
passed. The discussion on the water
rate increase rates in other cities
ETC.. followed after which some time
was spent in talking over the best
method in decreasing the expenses
of the board. Commissioner Bald
win felt that it would not be right
to reduce the wages of the employees
at this time. inasmuch as there are
a number of strikes in this city al
present. The possibility of reducing
the roster of employees, also was dis

Alderman Clark apparently was

Democratic members of the board

John E. Sofield and Benjamin A.
Riedy, both voted mo" ON the pay
ment of the bill to Louis p. Boo=,

Riedy requested to know why the

with the bill of Engineer Booz for
$4,000, which was unsigned by the
chief executive. had not come before
the meeting. The sixth ward alder
mans question was unanswered, the
motion to adjourn being made by
another member of the board al
most at the same instant.

Alderman John ]. Clark, who
threw a verbal bomb-shell into the
midst of the aldermen at Monday
nights meeting when he charged
them with spending the peoples
money like a lot of drunken SAIL
ors," had something more to say
along similar lines at the adjourned
meeting of the board held last night
in city hall.
The fifth ward alderman took ex-
ception to the statement made by
Alderman Albert G. Waters at Mon

second ward alderman declared that
Alderman Clark should look after
his own account (the contingent ac-
count) of which a balance of only

of the year.
The balance on hand in this ac-
count at the present time is $4,000

clared last night, but he refused TO

Velie Motor Still
On Exhibition

The crowds that visited the Velie
exhibit for the past three days at
80 Smith street corner of King
street. have expressed SO much ad-
miration for this truly marvellous
motor that the exhibitors have de-
cided to show it until tonight. that
all may have an opportunity not only
to inspect the cut-out motor but to
ride in the car in which this motor
is used as regular equipment
The unique oiling system by which
every working part of the entire mo-
tor is thoroughly oiled by force feed
and the heavy. perfectly balanced
crankshaft with its four main bear
ing supports have been greatly adj
mired by all who are familiar with
the best motor car designed.
Many of our local dealers and re-
pair men feel that the designers of
the Velie Six motor or as it is famil-
iarly called the "Dyna-Motor." are to
be congratulated on their latest
achievement.
Evidently no expense has been
spared by velie engineers to build
