on the ordinance be not sustained
was made by Alderman Albert G.
Waters but before making the mo-
ton he explained his stand in the
matter. He said he disliked TO op-
pose this particular ordinance if it
is keeping the Perth Amboy Dry
Docks Company from getting ina-
provements which will mean in
creasing it's business. However. he
said. there should be certain restric-
tions in the ordinance. and allow
ance should be made for other
plants in that vicinity using the
same tracks in the future. He sug-
gested placing the tracks along
Front street thus providing for the
industries to the south of the dry
docks.
Alderman Waters said he Is fa-
vofable to getting up new ordi-
nance which will protect the city
and the peoples rights. II this y /
done, he said he will fight just x4
hard to have this ordinances

Speaking on the same question
Alderman Robert A. Mct:uirc said
he thought the laboring men shonld
be considered and he felt the same
as Alderman Waters, he favoring
the passage of restricted ordi-
nance.
The sugge stion was then madc BY
Alderman Sofield that the repeater
be laid on the table in order that
the original ordinance granting per-
mission for the tracks might be
amended. This motion was mol
seconded. The first ward aldermen
also suggested that the clerk write
to the B. and o. Railroad Com
pany and ask whether or not that
company is considering running a
ferry line to the foot of Washing
ton street. This suggestion was not
acted upon either.
When Alderman-at-La Rich
ard A. Calvin called for a vote on
the question passing the ordinance
over the mayors veto, Alderman
Sofield was the only member, to
vote mo" on the question.
