PUTS COAL STRIKE BLAME ON b0SSI
WANT BETTER TRAIN
SERVICE FOR CITY

ious to have this train stop here
and also to have a late train run
from the shore resorts to this city,
leaving Asbury Park about IL
o'clock. 1t is held that such a train
from the shore resorts would ac-
commodate people who find it i'm
possible to stay in Asbury Park over
night. but would spend the after
noon and evening at the seashore X
such train was in operation.
The association will also urge the
railroads to give Perth Amboy bet
ter train service from New York.
Although there are many trains ar
riving here in the late afternoon
from New York and Newark, with
but few exceptions. they are local
trains which follow the regular ex-
press trains to the shore resorts. Ei-
forts will be made to have some OF
the expresses stop in this city.
1t is expected that the new spring
time table of train service on both
the Pennsylvania and the Central
Railroad of New Jersey will be is
sued within few weeks.

Wants to Know if City Favors
Smiths Plans Over
Booz's.
CONSIDER 1T TONIGHT
suqqest Means of Abolishlng
"HoIe" Under L. v. Tracks
At N. B. Ave.
CONSIDER IT TONIGHT

The aldermen tonight will again
have before them the subject Of
grade crossing elimination here. City
Attorney Leo 'Goldberger has re-
ceiyed from Chief Engineer Charles
A. Mead, of the Division of Bridges
and Grade Crossings of the Public
Utility Commission. letter asking III
the plans of Forrest l.. Smith as SUD-
suited to the utility board on March
5 are agreed upon by the city as a
substitute for previous plans orered
by the city. The city attorney has
decided to refer this letter to the
aldermen tonight for their consider
alton. -.
At the hearing in Newark last
wednesday before the utility board
the city attorney asked permission 10
present on behalf of the city, MT.
smiths plans for consideration with
tbe request that the plans drawn by
special engineer, Louis p. Booz be
withdrawn. Since this action by the
aldermen, however, considerable op-
SDosition has been made by residents
who claim that Mr.. Smiths plans DO
not cover all that the people here
desire.
The aldermen. tonight will again
consider this matter and most likely
lsadXse the city attorney as to what
reply to make to Engineer Mead.
q IA conference of the railroads en-
eineers, the city's engineers and EN-
rineer Mead will be arranged short
~, 1. Is believed, in order that the
newest plans might be considered.
Residents in the vicinity OF New
fBrunswick avenue and Amboy ave-
niue, who are opposed to any plans
where q "hole'' or deep depression is
caused under the Lehigh VaIiey
Z tracks at New Brunswick avenue.
after studying the plans OF MI
smith have suggested further eie-
yaticn n of the Lehigh Valley railroad
IN order to do away withAthe "hole.
Mr.. Smiths plans call for a grade OF
almost nine-tenths on the Lehlgh
( Valley from State street to Wash
z inrton street. Then the grade Is
Iessened to five-tenths from Wasn-
Ynrfon street to New Brunswick ave-
nue.. 1t has been suggested that
continuation of nine-tenths grade all
the way to New Brunswick avenue
would so elevate the tracks that the
depression of New Brunswick ave-
nue. would be only about ten inches
:, instead of about eight feet.
! It Is likely that property owners
who have advocated further eleva-
lion of the Lehigh Valley tracks SO
Fps TO do away with the "hole" at Nav
Brunswick avenue will again appea :
before the aldermen tonight In an ef-
fort to have this matter considered.

and consequently has given UP the
idea Of financing this work itself.
Alderman-at-large Richard j. Cal
win has said the aldermen would
take the matter up with the free
holdsrs, asking the county board TO
do this work, but this step has not
been taken as yet. The state can
not finance the work under existing
laws, it is said.
The road is getting in worse
condition daily and the ultimate out
come may be the closing OF this
stretch of road TO traffic until some
means of repairing it, temporarily
at least, is arrived at. As il is a
part of Route 4 of the State High
way System to the shore resorts, II
will be used by thousands Of cars
from now until after Labor Day and
unless something is done at once the
travel over it will increase
the size of the holes and ruts in il.

The paving on Amboy avenue be-
tween Myrtle street and the city line
has reached such a bad condition
that red lights. marking bad holes
in the road, have now been placed
in the road as a warning TO night
drivers unfamiliar with the road.
The road is in such a deteriorate5
condition that all traffic moves over
1t at as slow rate as possible. The
combination of holes, bumps and
ruts makes It impossible to ride in
safety not only life and limb but to
cars as we'll over this stretch of road
about which there was much talk
of repaving, but about which Moth
ing has been done.
The city after investigating the
manner in which it might secure the
funds from the state to repave this
road. found that the moneys expend-
ed would work against its debt limit

PRESENTNENTS
BY GRAND JURY
One on Patro!|ing Rural Com
munities and Second on
County Poor Farm.

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 81
Four indictments were returned by
the December term grand jury and
two presentments made to the court
before that body was discharged by
Judge Peter F. DAILY today. Imme-
diately after the discharge the men,
bers went to New Market to tender
dinner to their foreman.
One of the presentments was in
connection with the investigation of
inadequate police protection in diff
ferent municipalities of the county.
Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Wood
bridge, Roosevelt, Jamesburg. Me-
tuchen, South River or this city
were not included on the list of mu-
inequalities said to have inadequate
protection.
The presentment pointed out that
the officials of some of these NUM-
cipalities think that the prosecutors s
detectives should afford protection.
but this Office has a limited number
to detect and prosecute crime. One
section of the presentment reads as
follows: Eve direct the attention
of those municipalities in which no
police force is provided to the fact
well as sworn duty to supply ade-
quate police prot, ction for preser-
vation of law and order. 1t is one
of the primary purposes of govern
ment to protect the lives and prop
erty of it's citizens"
The presentment requests that the
officials of the municipalities not
having adequate police protection.
proceed at once to supply. facilities.
Expense is the cause given by many
of the officials as the reason for lack
of police protection.
The second presentment is in con-
nec..on with the death of Mrs. Nc
Donald on the poor farm at Mon >
roe township. Officers or individuals
at the poor farm are not blamed
with criminal negligence in connec-
tion with this case, but a suggestion
is made that a general county In
stitution for the poor of the county
be erected, to take the place OF the
present system by which each NUM-
cipality takes care of its own. The
Jurors suggest thatthe freehold
ers visit the different poor farms for
inspection purposes.
Judge DAILY ordered that the pres
entments be called to the attention
of Supreme Court Justice Bergen
when the April term jury is drawn
tomorrow.
The new grand jury will be drawn
and sworn in by Justice James ].
Bergen tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. What action the court will
take in instructing the new grand
jury on the three investigations
under way is not known.

2 POLICE CALLS TO
STOP ROLLER SKATING

Fifteen minutes after the call from
the church the police were informed
that skaters at High and Center
streets were throwing tin cans and
creating general nuisance there.
In all probability it was the same
crowd that had been chased from he
vicinity of the Methodist church
ehortly before. This time Chauffeur
William Buchan was put on the jon
and, the skaters were dispersed once
more. Patrick Convery, of High and
Center streets, was the complainant.
Several days ago Chief of Police
Niels ]. Tonnesen issued an order
banning roller skating on certain
streets of the city where pedestrians
had complained OF the practice but
the order did not extend to the par
ticular portion of the city affected
yesterday.
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1922-04-03

Two police calls were sent in yes
.erday to disperse crowds of roller
skaters who were accused of disturb
ing the Sabbath peace and quiet OF
the city. In each case the skaters
were dispersed and warned, but NJ
arrests were made.
The first call reached the police
station at 1880 o'clock, when Rev.
Wilbert Westcott, of the Simpson
Memorial church. said the skaters
were making such a racket on the
payement in front of the church thai
ne was unable to hold his evening
service. Desk Lieutenant Andrew
Jensen despatched Officer Joseph
Gaydos to Jefferson and High streets
with ordersto chase the skaters ana
see that they didn't return. Gaydos

o'clock.

Grim Companion Of Years at Last
Used for AGED Woman.

The coffin that Mrs. Eliza Bass Of
Lunbcrton, y. G. kept under her bed
for 25 years has at last been put to
use. The old woman has died at the
age of nincty-four andShcy have bur
led her, as she commanded, in the rude
bGx that kept her close and constant
company for so long.
It's proximity soothed her and made
her slumbers more satisfactory, She
always declared, moreover, it kept
her lonely little house or the edge Of
The Village as safe from chicken
thieves and other marauders as if she
had a pack of fierce dogs to protect
her.
The negro population Of Lumberton
and the surrounding country had n
deadly fear of the old woman's house.

of their way to keep from passing

In few days nice box made Of

MURRE EGGS POPULAR
Value As a ComestibIe Has Long

An increasing trade has been built
up in Northwest cities for murrc eggs.

The egg of this sea fowl has eXceit
lent nourishing quail ties for invalids
and contains an abhUrmal amount of
wtite. or albumen. Tough the mure
subsists on fish, the flavor of the egg
is not dissimilar TO that of the domes-
tic hen. A curious. feature in cooking
is that the albumen does not become
solidified and Of an opaque whiteness,
as does that Of the chicken egg, but
retains it's jelly-like character and is
light blue in color. In size the eggs.
are approximately that Of the goose.
The eggs are sometimes cooked hard
and mashed, then served with salad
or mayOnnaise dressing.
The nlurre arrives off the west
coast of Washington early in spring,
finds a slit in the rocky cliffs or a
convenient ledge where, with no nest
ing materials, the eggs are laid. Egg
gatherers. mostly Indians, climb the
cliffs daily, taking out one fresh egg
from each nest. The climbers main

hand and foot holds from the cliffs.
These are used year after year. A
