TRAFFIC CRUSH
IN THIS CITY
Necessary to Call Out More
Menu Many Arrests Are
Made

Automobile traffic through Perth
Ambuv yesterday threatened for a
time to swamp the police department
and at the height of the pressure IT
was found necessary to call out addt-
ticnal men. Eight policemen were
on the job handling the automobiles
that streamed through the city all
day long. At one time the cars
waiting for the ferry were lined up
two abreast from the foot Of the
ferry hill to city hall park.
In an interview this morning Chief
of Police Tonnesen used yesterdays
crush of cars as an argument o
at least two more motorcycle men
for the city police department. He
pointed out that eight hours In the
saddle OF a motorcycle is enough
to ask of any man and that in order
to cope with the situation during
such times as yesterday the present
men are compelled to work overtime
at their jobs Of patrollibg.~
The chief said that all indica-
tons were that this year would see
the heaviest automobile traffic in
the history of Perth Amboy and
that the only solution he could see
was the addition of more motorcycle
men. He added that four was the
minimum number needed for
efficiency and expressed himself as
strongly in favor of the appointment
OF two more.
On Saturday night Motorcycle
officers Frank Seibzoth and William
Bachman. with Patrolman William
j.. Heating and Frank Burke con-
Quoted a raid on motorists passing
the corner at Amboy and New
Brunswick avenues. All cars with
u proper lights were halted and
seventeen drivers were arrested
and arraigned before Recorder
Harold f. Pickersgill sitting in spe-
cial session at the police court.
Summonses issued for future court
sessions brought the total number
of arrests Mp to thirty-ive over the
week end. the greatest number for
many months past. Fines levied by
the judge ranged from 50 to s25
for failure to have tail lights and
headlights burning.
