Peter c. Olsen, speaking before
the Lions Club yesterday. outlined
briefly the results of the survey of
the city which the City Plan Com
mission, of which he is president,
had made last year. He spoke of
the plan to extend Fayette street,
passing over the Central railroad
tracks and then cutting through the
street SO that it will connect with
Concery place, President Olsen did
not go into detail on this PROPOSE
tion which is aimed to remedy
traffic congestion in this city oy
having it 60 from the ferry, out
Front street and Fayette street TO
Convery place and thence across the
new state bridge over the Raritan
river to South Amboy and points
south,
Herewith is published the report
on the proposed extension of Fay
ette street as submitted to the City
Plan Commission by the Technical
Advisory Corporation the New York
firm of expert consulting engineers,
going into detail on this subject:
Introductory
The city of Perth Amboy is being
strangled. The Central Railroad of
New Jersey forms a barrier between
two parts. Land values just east If
this barrier are 1ore than twice as
great as those nearest adjacent on
the west side. Moving eastward,
values increase for several blocks:
moving westward they decrease.
The railroad improvement now
separation. Early relief will be nec-
about to begin will accentuate the
essary for the important area on
both sides of the Central Railro: d,
north of Hall avenue. The depres-
sioR of the tracks will begin, on the
north, at Alpine street. Pedestrians
w..o have scarcely observed the to-
tai lack of cross streets between this
point and Hall avenue will hereafter
be seriously inconvenienced. Within
a very short time there will be con-
gestion Of street traffic on Hall ave-
nue.. In order to reach Easton g..
from Pine avenue it will be neces-
sary to walk south to Hall avenue or
north to Alpine street. Vehicular
traffic will not even have the latter
option. One or more streets running
east and west must be carried across
the railroad north of Hall avenue
within the very near future. But
there Is one problem row confront
ing the city which should precede
even this.
On the north side of Smith street,
west of Clifford street and extending
northward to the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, is a tract of about forty
acres. largely owned by the c. Par
d e Steel Works. on which the pres
ent assessed valuation is S74,S70
which is at the rate of $110 for
standard building lot. This tract,
though within half a mile of the
center of the city, has never been
improved, and there is no present
prospect of Improvement. 1t has
participated in the general rise of
property values, SO far as that rise
has extended toward the west, but
no one has derived tangible benefits
from this increase in value. 1t is
gain on paper. derived by the hold

authorities in Smyrna and the allied
naval commanders, says an exchange
telegraph dispatch by way of Con-
stantinople, under which the status
quo would be maintained pending
diplomatic negotiations.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. g.
A sharp demand was made early to-
day by the Allied commissioners that
Turkey withdraw at once, the ulu-
matum calling on Allied warships to
leave Smyrna. The situation is re-
garded as critical in the extreme
The Turks have been warned that

The commissioners refused to sub

ment of their vessels, complaining
the Turkish order was an interna-
tional discourtesy.
The Turks announce that the Is
mid front has now been placed under
the ban and mined.
A British squadron, consisting OF
two battleships, the Resolution and
the Emperor of India, and the light
cruiser Curacao, with Admiral Mich
olson on board, has arrived at Smyr-
ma to reinforce the British naval
force. They were warned by the
Turkish military authorities that the
entrance to the harbor had been
mined. Notwithstanding this, the
British ships proceeded with mine
sweepers and entered the roadstead
without incident, the Turkish shore
batteries, newly armed with heavy
guns, remained silent.

show how it may be made an asset.
Bridge and Ferry
The new bridge over the Raritan
river is going to create difficulty for
Perth Amboy. The plans for this
bridge have been approved by the
Board of Commerce and Navigation
and by the secretary of war. Accord
ing to these plans, Convery Place
will be improved and extended
southwark to form its northern p-
proach. This bridge will carry prac-
tically all of the traffic between New
York and northern New Jersey, and
the shore and inland resorts of New
Jersey. Perth Amboy has been and
will continue to be the gateway for
this traffic. North of Perth Amboy,
such traffic uses two main routes:
the north and south route between
Perth Amboy and Railway is already
under improvement and promises to
be satisfactory from the standpoint
of the city to produce a considerable
amelioration of existing conditions.
becaI-e it will ultimately keep this
through traffic away from the center
of the city.
The second route is via the Tot
tenville ferry from the foot of Smith
street. Vehicles from Brooklyn and
to certain extent from Manhattan
particularly. in the latter case,
heavy commercial vehicles) travel
by ferry to st. George on Staten Is
land, thence run to Tottenville and
reach Perth Amboy by this ferry.
This traffic moves through the heart
of the city of Perth Amboy and most
of it reaches the present bridge by
way of Market street. When the new
bridge is completed, Market street,
will be inadequate because it ends
at Herbert street and 1t is econom-
ica11y if not physically impossible to
extend it through the Pardee Steel
plant to Convery Place. Hence traf-
fic between the new bridge and the
T ,ttenvi1le ferry will, to a much
greater extent than at present, tend
to go straight through Smith street,
which is the only through street in
the region of the bridge over a forth
and south distance of tfree-quarters
of a mile.*
SIN fact the only through east
and west streets which the city
will have, under present plans,
are Hall avenue, Washington
street, New Brunswick avenue,
Smith street and Market street.
In general city practice, through
routes are required at intervals
not exceeding $50 feet.

No PEACE MOVE
FOR IRELAND
Rebels Decline to Enter Into
Negotiations London Re-
port Says

LONDON, Feb. Shy The Asso-
ciated Press)-The Irish rebels have
declined to enter into peace negotia-
tions, according to a press associa-
tion despatch from Dublin.
Liam Lynch, chief of the Republi-
can forces, in reply to the peace pro-
posals of Liam Deasy. informed him
officially, on behalf of "the Republi-
can government and army COM
mand' that the proposals could not
be considered.
DUBLIN. Feb. 9 (By The Associat-
ed Press):-The proposal for sur
render contained in Liam Deasy's
letter to Eamon de Valera and other
leading irregulars cannot be consid-
cred. says an official communique is
sued by the republican headquarters
staff on behalf of 1.-THE Republican
Government" and its army council.
The republican refusal was fore
shadowed in utterances from repub-
lican quarters this morning. The re-
publican bulletin was uncompromis-
ing in its comment on the Deasy pro-
posal, and Miss Mary MacSwiney
came out with a long letter in which
the full republican claim was again
set forth.
The general effect of the press
comment on the offer, before it was
known what the reply would be, was
that whatever answer De Valera
might make there would no longer
be doubt as to who was responsible
for continuing the struggle, that the
government would be given a free
hand, and could not, as the Free
mans Journal put it, be again in
dicted for measures necessary to put
an end to the suicidal war.

Span IN BAD
SHAPE, CLAIM
Freeholder Quackenbush
Leads Move to Have New
Structure Over Creek
ACTION IS LIKELY
Move Will be Made With Pub
lie Service to Finance This
Big Project

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. g.
Within the next week the members
OF the County Board of Freeholders
and representatives of the Pubic
Service Street Railway Company
will meet to consider the advisa-
bility of rebuilding the bridge over
Woodbridge creek on outer State
street, Perth Amboy.
At the same time efforts will be
directed towards the settlement OF
terms between the two bodies 20
insUre the financing of the replace
men of the present dilapIdated
structure.
Freeholder Walter Quackenbush
E6rted last fall that the present
z ke should be replaced as it's
rt1 down condition caused a contin-
uai annoyance from delays caused
by the operation of the bridge ma-
chinery and the maintenance OF the
structure necessitated a waste of
public funds in the endeavor to keep
the worn out structure in opera
ton.
Mr. Quackenbush at the weekly
session of the freeholders yesterday
urged that prompt action be taken
in deciding just what was to be
done in the matter during the pres
ent year, so that plans could be
made at the earliest possible date
in carrying along the improvement.
The members of the board were
unanimous in agreeing that an IN
vestigation Of the existing conditions
at the bridge should not be delay
ed. and it was decided that the
members of the board, the county
engineer and solicitor, together with
off :aIe aP DrI
pany should make a complete ex-
animation of the bridge with view
to it's replacement.
An earnest effort on the part of
Freeh older Quackenbush is to be
made to settle the point in questi On
next Wednesday afternoon when the
inspection is to be held so that the
preliminary plans for the future
care of the bridge may be befo:e
the county board at the next meet
ing for settlement.
Fleeholder George S. APPRECIATE
advocated the replacing of the ex-
istini. wooden bridge over Sucker
brook at Midtown with reinforced
concrete bridge in view Of the dan
gerous condition it is now il.
County Engineer Frederick G.
Schneider estimated that -he new
not over $4,000. Repairs on this
bridge are costing the county aboIt
$500 annually and in line with the
policy OF the freeholders in replac-
ing worn out wooden bridges witt
srrnanent concrete structures, the
Nv engineer was directed to pre-
ps the necessary plans.
Another county bridge that has
engaged the attention Of the free
helders during the last year is the
one Eighth avenue. Highland PARK.
which Is now impossible according
TO a report submitted by Freeholder
y. Fred Orpen. At Mr.. Orpen's
suggestion this structure will also
be replaced with a concrete bridge
for which plans were authorized
yesterday.
Many other small bridges in va
rious sections of the county whlcn
have proved to be a source or con-
tirual repair expenses in recent
years will be replaced with bridgee

REMOVE LARGE
BOOZE STILLS
Several Days Required to
Take Apart $4,000 Dis
tillery Plant in Barn

The work or demolishing and re-
moving the apparatus used in the
huge distillery seized by Chief of Po-
lice Cornelius Mccarthy, South Plain
field and Federal Prohibition Agent
John G. Cooper of North Plainfield,
on a farm between Raritan town
ship and Piscataway Tuesday night,
was being continued by federal
agents today.
The plant, which is said to have
had capacity of turning out 400
gallons OF Wh1skey a Gay, has been
valued at $4,000 and prohibition
agents working on the case, who
have come across many moonshine
establishments, declare this to be
the most elaborate they ever saw.
The whiskey and alcohol found in
the barn by Chief Mccarthy and Of
flcer Cooper on the night of the raid,
was guarded by them during the
night and taken to Newark the fol-
lowing day to the Eagle Storage
mouse. The work of dismantling
and removing the huge stills and
fermenting watts is now being done
and it is likely another day will be
required before tins task is COM
pleted-
No arrests have been made. A
mani WAO gave MS name as Harry
Levine and said his home was IN
Connecticut, but that he had been
employed by a Brooklyn man at
SlO0 a week to stay on the farm,
was held for investigation, but re-
leased after he had given the au-
thorities considerable information.
The case will probably be taken
up with the New York state off,
cials in an effort to run down the
proprietors of the costly plant. In
the meantime authorities are invcs-
tigatiEg the movements of a number
of man whose names appeared on
a list found in the distillery, Al
of whom are thought to be bootleg
gers.
Those operating the moonshine
plant succeeded in transporting two
trucks loaded with whiskev from the
distillery early on the night of the
raid The booze was not bottled in
the plant, but shipped in tins, osten-
sibly to place where 1t was bottled
and labeled and packed In cases.
