WILL PREVENT
LAYING TRACK
Police Officer on Fixed Post at
Foot of Washington
Street
TO PREVENT "TRlCKERY"
Aldermen Fear Attempt Will
be Made to Put One Over
On City

Anticipating a possible move on
the part of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road to lay across Washington
street tracks connecting the lands of
the Perth Amboy Dry Docks Com
pany. Chief Niels j. Tonnesen, Sat
urday gave instructions tc have an
officer stationed at Washington and
Front streets at all times. An oili-
Ger was sent to this spot at l O'Clock
Saturday afternoon and with eacn
outgoing squad another patrolman Is
assigned to relieve the ono on duty,
thus keeping constant watch. The
officers have received instructions
to prevent the laying of any tracks
across Washington street near Front
street.
Alderman Albert c.. Waters, the
chairman of the police committee,
was questioned this morning as to
why this move had been made. He
declared that in order to defend the
interests of the city and prevent any
trickery in putting down the tracks
before the necessary permission mad
been given 1t had been decided tc
play safe" by having an officer
stationed at this locality at all times
The second ward alderman said ne
is not in position to speak for all
felt that the precautionary action
is a move which would not be re-
ceived with adverse comment.
There have been rumors golns
about the city to the effect that the
Lehigh Valley Railroad was gettlns
the tracks ready so that they might
be laid at a moments notice and ap-
parently these reports are respons-
ible for the action just taken in haV-
ing an officer assigned to that local
ity to prevent any such plan beng
carried out.
The Perth Amboy Dry Docks Com
pany has been endeavoring since
| last fall to have four tracks lait
| across Washington street, permission
| being granted by the 1921 Board o.
| Aldermen. The new council, how
ever repealed the ordinance grant

COMFORT STATION HERE

Efforts are being made by the
Board of Aldermen TO secure store
and basement as near the five cor
ners as possible which can be con-
verted into comfort stations. For
some time past the aldermen have
realized the need of such place III
the center of the city and although
the idea at this time in securing a
store and basement for the purpose
is only temporary, it is likely that
several permanent comfort stations
will be located throughout the city
within a short time.
This is the second attempt the
city fathers have made to establish
comfort stations in the city, the first
which was made by the former
board did not meet with success. At
that time it was planned to build
the station under New Brunswick
