mon Council at Meeting

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 15:-South
Amboy is to have better bus service
IL the plans of the police committee
are carried out. At the suggestion
of one of the of the buses
that ply between this city and Perth
Amboy, Chief of Police James Nc
Donnell issued orders to the traffic
officers at the corner of Main street
and Stevens avenue to have the
buses leave hat point at regular ten
minute intervals. In order to in
sure this program being carried out
the officers were instructed to issue
tickets to all drivers who failed to
make the schedule.
The plan has for the past two
weeks been carried out to an almost
perfection, and the police have re-
ceived commentator for their eff
vice between these cities has result
ed. The attention of the council
has been called to the bad condition
that exists on the New Brunswick
buses. Councilman Stockton stated
last night at the meeting that these
buses were in the habit of leaving
Broadway and John street on or
about the same time as the trolley
cars. He claimed that in this way
the people were given very poor
service between here and New
Brunswick. 1t seems that the bus
drivers are in the habit of delaying
at the corner Of John street and
Broadway until a trolley makes its
appearance. Councilman Delaney.
chairman Of the police committee,
said he would look into the matter
and try to remedy the condition.
Councilman Disbrow called the
attention of the council to a petition

weeks VI relative to having a bus
cave the corner of Main street and
Stevens avenue at 5:25 A. M. for
the benefit OF persons working in
Perth Amboy and who must get to
work at an early hour.
Councilman Delaney replied that
he had taken the matter up and
upon investigation found that a
number of those who signed the
petition did not use the early bus
as a general thing, but the council
man reported progress on the mat
ter.
1t is believed that the police COM
mittee will have the extra bus added
IL there are sufficient numbers who
will take the early bus.

ey, the city clerk was instructed to
