SEWER OUTLET
PROTEST MADE
Residents Along Waterfront
Protest to Aldermen and
Ask for Relief
PETITION IS RECEIVED
Referred to Committee of the
Whole, Together With City
Engineer

Residents in the vicinity of the
Raritan river waterfront, living near
the foot of the streets extending as
far as the river, had a petition be-
fore the aldermen Monday night re-
questing immediate action with re-
CARDS to the sewer outlets along the
river The petitioners point out
that the sewer pipes are Lot extend
ed out sufficiently far into the river
to permit OF the sewage passing into
the water at a considerable distance
off shore. Instead, especially at low
tide. the contents of the sewers flow
upon the beach. The condition is
unsanitary. the petitioners point out,
and although the written request to
the aldermen for action does not
say so, it is understood the matter
will be taken with the State Board
of Health if the aldermen do not
take immediate steps to remedy con-
ditions.
The sewer outlet situation has
been before previous Boards of AL
dermen for consideration, but in
each instance the actual work mas
been put of indefinitely and as re-
suit conditions have not been rem
edied.
The petition of Monday night had
twenty-five signatures and was re-
ferred to city engineer and the COM
mittee of the whole.
The petition follows:
A condition exists at the sewer
outlets in the streets footing on Rar-
itan river. namely High street, state
street, Catalpa avenue Brighton
avenue, Madison avenue. South Fiji st
street and South Second street.
These sewer outlets at present
empty practically on the beach
The discharge from these sewers
is not properly carried away but
empties on or floats along the shore
front and saturates the surrounding
territory causing an unsightly un-
sanitary and unhealthy condition
and one that has become serious
nuisance to the neighborhood ADA
cent to the foot of the hefore men
toned streets.
The value of property for residen-
tial purposes is deprecated due to
the existance of this nuisance.
1t is entirely unfit for children to
play on what little available beach
there is along this water front and
the use of the shore as a bathing
beach is prohibited on account of
the unhealthful conditions.
These obnoxious sewer eminations
affect Caledonia Park. Hayes Park
playground and Wonderland Beach
park, which all front along the
river.
For several years past promises
have been made that something
would be done to abate the sewer
outlet condition but no adequate
re medal measures have been taken.
We ask that you give this ques-
ton prompt attention and satisfac-
torily and efficiently remedy the sit
uation that now exists.

ahnuts during the recent war with
Germany. Sharbo proudly an
nounced that he had been in France
in the American army and Jordan's s
alleged rejoiner was that one Ger
man soldier could trim five such
American soldiers as Sharbo. Sharbo
was indicted by the grand jury for
his reply to Jordan's sarcasm, but
when Judge DAILY heard the facts he
ordered the plea changed to not
guilty and Sharbo was discharged.
Seven other pleas were taken this
morning and from those who plead
ed not guilty the prosecutors office
expects to compile a trial list for
next week that will conclude crimi-

Lehigh Park Sanitary
Se1uer System Bids
Rejected By Aldermen

The Lehigh Park section sanitary
sewer system is now as far from
being reality as it has ever been,
the aldermen Monday night by a
vote of four to two rejected the two
bids received by the hoard after
they had readvertised. The reason
for taking this action. the aldermen
voting in favor of rejection explain
ed, was that the figures, in their
estimation, were exhorb',an Alder
men John C. Clark and Benjamin
A. Riedy objected to tha bids being
rejected.
The aldermen are now undecided
as to what their next step in this
sewer matter will be, but the sug-
gestion was made Monday night
that surface water sewer be in
stalled rather than a sanitary sewer,
it being the belief that such sewer
could be put in at much lower
cost. The sanitary sewer could then
be constructed at some time in the
future.
Alderman Riedy, in whose ward
the proposed improvement would be
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-07-05

made, declared that a majority OF
the people along the streets affected
want the sewer.
Conditions in that section warrant
a surface water sewer, Alderman at
large Richard ]. Calvin said, telling
of an inspection trip he and Alder
man Thomas Patten, chairman OF
the street committee, had made Sat-
urday afternoon. The streets have
been cut up by fast flowing streams
of rain water until they resemble
canals, he said, and bridges have
been constructed by residents in or
der to get to and from their homes.
A sanitary sewer, the chairman said,
would not alleviate these conditions
whereas a surface water sewer
would. In some places, Alderman
Calvin said. he found water as deep
as six or seven feet in the cutters
and ten feet wide. He maintained
that it would be unfair assessing
the residents for a sanitary sewer
when this condition would continue
to exist.

Rice Etarvest.as. Nearly Over.

The harvesting Of the rice crops in
this section is fast drawing to a close.
Spurred on by the exceptionally line
weather which has prevailed during
the past two weeks or more, the
planters have rushed the harvest
work to fullest capacity and today
very little of the cereal remains un-
gathered in the fields. Despite the
very inclement weather which pre-
vailed for some time after the open
ing of the rice-cutting season, the
farmers succeeded in saving thel1
crops, with difficulty in some instan'
ces, but with very little loss. The
yield has been very good this year
and the prices much better than dur
ing the past two years, and inasmucf
as the cost of production was con
siderably less this season, due to free
water and lower wages paid for labor
the planters stand to reap fair mar
gin of profit on their effort and IN
dustry for the year 1922.
