FISHING PARTY HAS
EVENTFUL TRIP SUNDAY

The fishing expedition last Sun
day in the Aurora, owned by Peter
Olsen, may never be forgotten by the
persons who made the trip, espe'
cially inasmuch as those in the par
ty made a bigger catch than did
those in the boat of former Senator
Thomas Brown.
William Olsen, Otto Olsen, Thomas
Layden, Chester Darling and JON
Murray made up the party in the
Olsen boat, while w. B. Pratt &C.
companied the former senator. The
Olsen party's catch consisted of sew
en- huke, a small shark and blaters
The fishing was done off Sandy
Hook.
On the way home, Murray dstect'
ed a school Of porpoises and Darling
was successful in having the party
stop while he tried happening. The
druggist had as hard a time ex'
planning to the water commissioner
what the school was as he did In
trying to harpoon one OF the por-
poises. Layden is credited witt
catching a blind fluke while Peter
Olsen caught the bloaters. The mex
time the Olsen boat goes on a fish
ing trip with Darling aboard, a life
saving belt also will be taken along
his friends say.
While in the vicinity of Sandy

BRANEY
At So. ANBOY
Resolution Making Him Wa
ter Commissioner is Passed
by Common Council
CAME AS BIG SURPRISE
What Mayor Chase viii do
is Question Being Asked
on All Sides
CAME AS BIG SURPRISE

SOUTH AMBOY, June 81. - A
resolution appointing John j.
Braney water commissioner was
presented by Councilman J.. j. Con-
ners and passed by the council at its
meeting last night. The measure al
so fixed the time of office and as
signed the duties of Braney. The or
dinance came as a surprise especial
ly since Mayor Daniel c.. Chase We
toed all names for city officers some
time G At that time the mayor
gave as his reason for taking the
course which he did that the ordi-
nances were illegal as it did not de-
fine the duty of the office holders
or time of office. Mayor Chase also
said at that time that IL the bills stip-
ulated the duties together with the
tenure of office he would have con-
firmed the appointments.
It will also be remembered that
several weeks ago street commits
sioner J. j. Corners, Sr., whose Of
flee was also vetoed, presented to
the council an ordinance stating in
detail that which the mayor de-
manded 1t should contain. This Or
dinance was passed by the council
and later approved by the mayor.
There seems to ne a difference OF
opinion with regard to the case OF
the water commissioner as many are
inclined to think that Mayor Chase
will veto the ordinance while Others
hold that since it explicitly defines
all the duties prescribed by the law,
the mayor will not hesitate to con-
firm the appointment.
The ordinance as read at the meet
ing last night will give the water
commissioner complete supervision
over the water works and all depart
ments of the city water department
The measure also states that regular
office hours will be held in the city
hall daily. This ordinance gives the
water commissioner much more
power than has recently been his lot
The time of office will be three
years, for Braney from Jan. L of this
year to 1925.
The disposition of Mayor Chase
with regard to this ordinance will be
watched with keen interest by those
Immediately interested in the confir-
nation of the bill. 1t is anticipated
that other ordinances will be pre-
scented to the common council with
in a short time providing that the
mayor takes kindly to this one.

HORNSBY CASE
IN COURT AGAIN
City Collector Fight Against
Aldermen and Mullen in
Errors Court

The case of Joseph E. Hornsby
prosecutor-appellee vs.. Board of
Aldermen of the city of Perth AM
boy, and James A. Mullen, defend
ant-appelants, was argued before
the court of errors and appeals yes
terday in Trenton by City Attorney
David T. Wilentz. representing Mr..
Mullen,
Mr.. Wilentz argued that the act
which enabled the council to appoint
a man for a three year term
was repealed in 1905 and the en-
tire question revolved itself about
the phrase "Other Municipalities"
found in the act of 1909 as to
whether 1t embraces cities. 1t is
conceded by both sides, said Mr..
Wilentz that If the wording in the
act of 1905 embraces cities, then
the appointment OF Hornaby is only
for the unexpired term. If 1t does
not include cities then Hornsby's
appointment stands.
Mr.. Goldberger's argument was in
tht form of a brief giving five facts
as to why Hornsby should retain
the Office of collector.
1t is expected that a decision of
the court will be forthcoming with
in a short time.
