BUS COMPLAINT
At So. AMBOY
Service is Called Deploranle
Need for Bus Starter is
Seen by People

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 4.-The
situation in this city, Is depiofdpie,
e%specially the service between TINS
citv and Perth Amboy, local people
saw and most certainly the siu..io
that plies between MechanicsVlile
and this city. Bitter attacks on the
very much abused ten minute scfeo-
,1Ie are made almost daily by the pa
irons of the buses. 1t is understooo
that with but few exceptions, buses
run Just as they please. 10,
Since the instigation of the sHuttle
bus service between here ana Me
chanicsville shortly after the closing
of the Hole in the Wall, there mas
been nothing but complaints from
those patrons who are forced to use
The buses. 1t is understood that hall
hour service to and from
icsvill was to be the schedule. NO
few claim the buses go n come
as they please. Some of the driV-
ers keep fairly good schedule, but
others cannot be depended upon, pa
irons of the line declare.
The real reason for the badly
managed condition of bus schedule,
seems to lie in the fact that the To-
cal authorities have no bus starter,
and depend almost entirely upon the
individual drivers to maintain their
outlined schedule. AT times the po-
lice department, check up on the
schedule, and at these stated times
everything goes we'll, but after the
check up is completed schedules are
thrown to the winds. Almost any
of the drivers have some sort OF
complaint about the other fellow ana
almost hostile feeling exists at all
times among both n and drlV-
ers.
It Ia understood that the buses
leave the starting point, at the city
limits on a scheduled time and just
about move about the city, in an at
tempt to pick up more passengers,
which results in cutting down the
Roadway of the bus behind. For ex-
ample yesterday, a certain driver
left the starting point at the city
limits, and before he reached the
corner of Stevens avenue and Main
street, the bus behind which left ten
minutes after him, had passed him.
In order to prevent the driver of the
bus following him reaching Perth
Amboy before him, he cut out part
of the route, and sped on to Perth
Amboy.
1t is incidents like this that make
people declare the bus service here
is rotten.
There are ample buses enough to
maintain at all times a regular ten
minute service between here and
Perth Amboy. There is no reason
for a bus driver to hold back, to en-
large the gap between him and the
bus ahead. The travelling public
to a great extent depend largely on
a schedule, and many people figure
closely. The sooner more drastic
laws regarding the schedules are put
into effect here. the sooner better
bus service will come out of it,
seems to sum up the opinion of
everyone concerned.
1t is understood a move will be
made to force the bus owners to
maintain their schedule, or quit. The
sooner this attitude is taken by the
police chief, the better foT all con-
cerne1. The matter will probably
be taken up with the chief of police
today.

HOT CAMPAIGN
At So. AMBOY
Control of Common Council
at Stake-DemoCratS in
Best Position

SOUTH AMBOY. Oct. 1.-THE
settings for the big election scene in
this city are gradually being maneu-
vered into position. While this is
considered an off yea in politics, yet
both parties locally AVE a big fight
before them, the control of the COM
mon council next year and the cleo
ton of a city clerk.
In the first and fourth wards the
people Will elect representatives in
the council. The Republicans need
to elect two of their candidates to
get control while the Democrats need
only one. The fate of the of1ice-hold-
overs, included among them are some
of the election plums, are at stake.
Mayor Chase. it will be remembered,
when the names of all the office
holders were sent to him. vetoed
them. He later endorsed the offices
of street commissioner and water
commissioner. All the other officers
are hold-oyers. due to the fact that
"a three-fourths vote could not be
mustered over the mayors veto. In
the event of the Democrats electing
two councilmen. Mayor Chase's veto
will have no effect.
1t is for this reason that both par
ties will get busy at once,
In the fourth ward Andrew n.
'Kvist. Republican, and Oscar w.
Mundy, Democrat. will battle for
,honors. The fourth ward is always
staunch Republican, although some
of the bright minds in politics feel
a break is near. The Republican
majority in this ward is too great
to be cut into, is the way others feel.
In the first ward. C. Leon CoZzens,
Democrat and j. Raymond Malloy,
Republican, are seeking election. This
is the uncertain ward of the city.
1t sWays back and forth each sue
ceeding year. The present encum-
bent George r. Delaney. Democrat,
took the ward by storm two years,
ago when he defeated Jacob Sshuey.
Both candidates this year are con-
sidered of a strong type with plenty
of following, and a close figure is
looked for.
The fight for city clerk is between
the present incumbent, Peter j.
ICoakley Democrat and G. Frank
Disbrow, Republican councilman
from the fourth ward. Politicians
predict the election of either by a
very narrow margin.
As far as organization goes, the
Republicans of the city are more
active than their rivals. The Re
publican club. meets regularly. while
the Democrats are a little lax in this
respect. Tonight, however. the
Democratic club members will meet
in Welshes Hall. The opening guns
of the November election will at
this time be sounded. A large dele

at this time.
