SENATOR LARSON PLANS
Joint RESOLUTION ON
BRIDGE MEMORIAL HERE
MiddIesex Representative in
Upper House Gets Behind
Memorial for Soldiers
URGED BY HIGHWAY BID.
Plan is Considered Through
out County--L Legislation is
Considered Likely

State Senator Morgan f. Larson,
of this city, announced this morning
that he is preparing joint resolu-
ton to be introduced next week to
carry out the idea of making the
state highway bridge across the
Raritan river, between this city and
South Amboy, a memorial to the
New Jersey service men who served
in the World War. The same reso-
luton will be introduced in the
House at the same time Senator
Larson brings it before the higher
body.
Chairman George L. Burton. of
the State Highway Commission, has
taken the matter up with Senator
Larson and the commission itself is
favorable to the idea of placing
suitable monumental figures on the
bridge to commemorate the part
played by New Jersey rlen in the
war.
The Perth Amboy Historical So
ciety at it's meeting here last night
went on record as favoring the
memorial bridge idea.
1t is expected that the resolution
will receive favorable consideration
in both the House and the legisla-
ture when it comes up for vote.
The suggestion that the bridge be
made a memorial to the heroes of
this state was made shortly after
announcement was made by the
State Highway Commission that
new bridge would be erected across
the Raritan river. AS this structure
connects what might be considered
the northern and southern parts OF
the state, thousands of automobiles
will travel over it having as pas
sengers not only residents from all
parts of New Jersey but those living
in other states as well. The memo
rails will be seen by all of these
persons and it is believed they will
serve to keep in mind the deeds per-
formed by those who fought from
this state.
