S|LZER'S HELP
To Be ASKED
Mrs. Malin to 90 to Trenton
to Ask Governor to Aid
in Search for Husband

CARTERET, May 9:-The Belle
vue hospital and allied institutions
in New York are being combed to-
day for Isadore Malin, the missing
tailor of Washington avenue. Mrs.
Malin in communicating with the
Bureau of Missing Persons in New
York and police authorities yester-
day requested them to make a search
/ n the hospitals for her husband,
saying that he may possibly be a
victim of amnesia. Malin was never
mentally unfit, the wife said, but
felt that since her husband has not
been located until this day, he may
have probably lost his mind.
In an attempt to enlist the aid
of the state and county authorities
for a search for ler vanished hus-
band, Mrs. Malin lett shortly before
noon for Trenton where she will try
to secure an audience with Cover
ror George S. Silzer. She feels con-
fident that through the instigation
of the governor, the New York auth.
critics will lay greater stress in To-
eating Malin.
The woman pointed out this morn
ing that the detectives assigned in
the case have not determined a num-
Der of things to which she has call
ed their attention. She said that the
have not found out
whether the paying teller of the
bank which is said to have casned
1he s615 check has a recollection of
that sum to a man bearing
the description of Malin. She said
that nothing has been done to estab-
lish the identity OF the signature on
the check. She still feels that Malin
did not sign the check.

PLAN OLD TYPE
Of DRAWBR|DGE
According to General Scott in
Letter Telling of Plans for
New Bridge to So. Amboy

The old fashioned swinging type
of d~rawbridge is good enough for
the proposed bridge to par the
Raritan river from Perth Amboy
to South Amboy, according TO the
letter the New Brunswick Board CT
Trade has received from Gen. ii. L.
Scott, chairman Of the State High
way Commission. He writes as fol-
lows;
Il have your letter of May srd.
together with copy of resolutions
adopted by your board at their
| meeting on the 4th, instant. IN
connection with this matter I beg
to advise as follows:
The plans for this bridge were
prepared by a competent and e&-
perienced engineer, who gave con
s%ideration to all requirements OF
navigation, which might be ~reasona-
bly, expected in the port of Perth
Amboy and the plans have been
submitted to and approved by the
war department Of the federal gov
and the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
THE structure provided for two
clear openings of n hundred and
forty feet each. which seem to this
ofic to be ample for any trahc
M11tn IldN utNtlDD dL ILLS pOlAAAs
1T is therefore. not the intent
at this time of the State Highway
Commission to make any mOdi1ca-
ton in the plans which have been
prepared
The old fashioned swinging draw
which will be built with the pier in
the center is no doubt all that Will
he required for The traffic at this
point, Sc far as the present Is con-
cerned. However, there are far-see-
ing Shipping men who question
whether if properly developed there
is not T. possibility that fifty years
from new tho type or mat
would lie handled IN half the time
OF the old-fashiured swinging draw
would not be more desirable.
The question of cost does not hg-
ure in the proposition TO any great
extent, SO competent engineers say
1t is stated that the bascule type
Of draw could be built for very lit
tie more than the old type. And
everybody knows that it a be
handled in much less time THAI the
old-fashioned draw. Then, they say.
why rot have the BEST"
II the bridge WIS noe course OF
construction there would naturally
be objection to making any change
in the plans. but no work nas been
begun nor will it be storted for two
or three months ACCORDING to pres
emit indications.
The use of draw bridges that may
be handled with ease is becoming
imperative ON waterways where the.
traffic is heavy. Besides, shipping
men say that tn ere are always
cellent arguments ir favor of the Use
Of draw bridges that can be handled
in 1nea@ f4n1n fhgH- rim faEhf
swinging draw, which many of them
regard as obsolete in this age. They
feel it would be decidedly advan-
tageous to have a modern type of
draw bridge installed on the propos-
ed bridge, but evidently General
Scott and his colleagues think diff
ferently.

PATENT PAVING
APPEAL MADE
Pennsylvania Company Wants
Highway Commission to
Admit Their Material

TRENTON, May 8. - Declaring
that wherever the so-called Amiesite
type of highway pavement has been
put in competition with other road
s%urfacing materials in bidding the
result usually mean a lowering Of
all the estimates submitted and a
saving to the taxpayers.
representatives of the Amies Road
Company, Of Easton, Pa, here yes.
terday urged the State Highway
Commission to admit their material
to the bidding in this state even
though 1t is a patented article. The
commission promised to give the
matter careful consideration, but
evidently was not convinced that 1t
should change its already announced
policy of refusing to give the var
ious counties financial aid il they Sc
lected patented pavements for their
roads.
The immediate reason for the aps
pearance of the Amiesite representa-.
tives was the fact that they had been
of the commissions attitude
toward patented materials by the
County authorities. That
county has practically refused to use
Amiesite in some construction work
OF its own because of the Highway
Boards recently expressed opinion.
John Rice, speaking for the Amies
Company, admitted that it has royal.
ties to pay on Amiesite too, inasmueb
as it is a patented product. But he
declared they are not exorbitant.
Rice contended that in Pennsylya.
MIA where his company's product is
used the price of road paving has
been cut and cited an instance in
Allentown where he said there had
Deer a saving of a, dollar a square
yard.
Commissioner Jelin finally told the
Amiesite people:
speaking for myself as an indi-
vidual member and not for the on-
mission, I won't vote for anv pave
ment where there is a royalty at
tached."

day in what proved to be a land
slide. The winners majority was
almost three to one over the six in

dependents, but he received less
than one-half the votes the lowest
incumbent commissioner secured.

number Of votes: William c. Jaques,
5,607; Edward J. Houghton, $3.50;
Joseph ]. Feaster. 5,493 and Frank
A. Connolly, $3.50.

were far behind the commissioners
in votes. c. Raymond Lyons polling
2,710; William Gonch, 2,102: Charles
Dey, 1868; Mrs. Sophie Wolfe, L.
III; Frederick Gebhardt. 1.125: Jo-
seph Foley. $50; Anthony Ritz, 424.
1t is expected that the commits
sion at it's organization meeting on
Tuesday morning will retain all of
the present municipal Office holders,
they being reappointed for four
years more. A new assessor must be
named to take the place of Abraham
Jelin, the former assessor whose ap-
pointment as State Highway Com
missioner has caused his resignation
as assessor here.
The commissioners victory was
complete yesterday, every poll in the
