claim is mysterious.
One of the points that Captain
NORM is endeavoring to clear up l9
the finding of a pistol on the burned
craft. Stumph when rescued was
very weak and unable to make any
statement which would clear up hiSa,
companions identity. Stumph, ac.V

PROTEST AGAINST BRIDGE
BEFORE FREEHOLDERS

WOODBRIDGE, May 10:-A res
olution will be presented to the Mid
dlesex County Board of Freeholders
at their meeting his afternoon by
the Woodbridge Township Commit
tee, asking thaS soma action be TAX
en- by the f%reeholders to place the
draw over Woodbridge creek at
| State street in better condition. The
resolution is the result of a COM
plant made at the last meeting of
the township committee by tae
Annes & Potter Fire Cay Company.
The principal complaint against
the bridge is that it takes SO long
In order to open and close it. The
bridge is turned by hand and seems
to have settled fro mits original
position and often times it sticks
so tight, when iron ana steel binds
en- the concrete dbuttments that
considerable time is lost before the
bridge can be placed in motion.
According to County Engineer
Senator Morgan +. Larson, today.
the bridge was built over twenty |
years ago and is of lighter construc- ,
ton than those being built today. }
The bridge was strengthened some /!
when the Public Service Com
pany laid its tracks across the /
structure. but the center pier seems
to be moved by the tide and this
of the pier upon which
swinging apparatus of the
bridge rests. causes 1t to bind on
some occasions.
Since he has been county engin-

Ing of the bridge, but that there
no way to remedy this mat
at the present time, unless a
new structure is built. The freehold
ars have had trouble with the OPEN

past few years, and the opinion
