Bridge to TottenviIle Play I'm
portant Part in Discussions
of Perth Amboy Men

Today the Evening News publishes
a number of interviews with leading
men of the city, the question being:
What should Perth Amboy do dur
ing the year 1924 to make the city
Il bigger and better place" What
these men think follows
Rev. Frederick David Niedcr-
meyer, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church:
Anything that will make right
minded people desire to come again
to Perth Amboy will tend to build
it into a bigger and better city. If
1t becomes better, it will surely grow
bigger.
"One principle that will help to-
ward these ends is that of thorough
going honesty. There is strong ap-
peal in simple honesty, and people
like to go and to deal where it is
practiced. Honest goods that meas
ure up fully to the advertisements
produce regular customers and in
creased business. Honesty in local
government and in all other human
relations causes an increase of conf
dence, and people like the places
where they are not afraid to trust
those who mthey have dealings.
Another step forward can be
taken by emphasizing the import
ance of human friendliness. A city
that is friendly is attractive for that
reason. Friendliness gives an un-
selfish foundation for community
effort, and for the common pros
perity of our citizens We want 20

Owing 10 the fact that the new
garbage schedule calls for collecting

of Smith and State streets on Tues
days 9nd Fridays commencing at /
o'clock in the afternoon, a number
of merchants today appealed to the
mayor to have this schedule changed
Mayor Wilson got in touch with the
street department and was told that
collections would be made on the
other streets first SO that IL would
not be until II o'clock at night
when the collectors started to collect
on the Smith and State street bust
ness sections
The merchants pointed out that
the presence of garbage on the side
walks during the busiest part of the
day and night would be detrimental
to their business, annoying to per-
sons on the streets while it would be
almost impossible for garbage wag-
ons to collect the garbage because
OF the cars parked on these streets
at these hours
There are many other streets
where the collections will start at
o'clock in the afternoon and the
street department plans to have
these visited by trucks first which
work will take until late at night.
The trucks will then proceed to
Smith and State streets.

Report Says
AMB0Y HAS INCREASE
Takes 13 Minutes Longer to-

be Urged

According to a report made public
today by the Bureau of State Re
search of the New Jersey State
Chamber OF Commerce transporta-
ton facilities for commuters be-
tween New Y ork and points in New
Jersey have remained practically at
a standstill during the past twenty
three years while in the case of
Perth Amboy the running time has
Increased as much as thirteen min
utes.
"There has been no reduction in
the running time between the cities
covered by the study and New York
except in three instances apart from
The saving due to The construction of
the Hudson and Manhattan and
Pennsylvania tunnels" the report
saws. an fact the average running
time to cities has increased as much
as thirteen minutes: for Instance, on
the 27.S miles run to Perth Amboy.
The findings OF the research COM
mittee will be presented to the state
chamber at a meeting to be held IN
Newark on January 10. Recommen-
dations will be made at the same
time. George McAmeny, chairman
of the New York State Transit Com
mission, being one of the speakers
at the conference, it has been an
nouneed.
Persons who have been commut-
ing between New York and Perth
Amboy often speak of the failure of
the railroads to run more trains
from this city and to cut down on
the time required to make the run.
Papers of twenty years ago nave
been found in which the running
time of trains from this city to the
metropolis has been mentioned and
the time is less than is now required.
Perth Amboy is not the only city
touched in this survey but many
other cities within committing dis
tance of New York face the same
situation.

RECTOR UPHOLDS
CHURCH s CREED
Bishops Letter That Caused
UpheavaI in Episcopal
Church Read at St. Peters

The Rev. w. Northey JONES' rec
tor of st. Peters Episcopal church,
yesterday took his stand with the
fundamentalists in the controversy
that is now raging in the Episcopal
church and in other denominations
over the infallibility of the Bible,
the belief in the virgin birth OF
Christ and His bodily resurrection.
Mr.. Jones at the morning service in
st. Peters, read the pastoral letter
prepared by the bishops OF the
church recently assembled at Dallas,
Texas, in which the bishops, speak
ing for the Protestant EpiA,opal
church, reaffirmed their BELIEF in
the chureh's creed and doctrine as
handed down through the ages, and
declared that If the creed meant any
thing it meant exactly what it says
and that no person could doubL the
meaning of the creed. including the
virgin birth and bodily resurrection,
and remain a good churchman.
After reading the letter sent out
by the bishops. which letter has been
so violently attacked by some of the
prominent clergymen In the Episco-
pal church, especially in New York
City, Mr.. Jones went into a discus.
sion of the subject quoting from
various passages in the Bible and
referring TO the early writer's 10 show
that the virgin birth of Christ was
not only possible, but was actually
true and was so accepted by tho re-
ligious leaders and writer's of the
time. lie quoted from the Prophet
Isaiah to show that the virgin birth
was a fulfillment OF his prophesy.
The gospels of st. Matthew and st.
Luke were also quoted.
1t was argued that if people are to
believe in miracles of the Bible, why
hot believe in this greatest of all
miracles. To deny the divinity of
Christ is To undermine the very foun-
daticn of the Christian religion.

A. NJ. was derailed two and one-halt
miles west of zalisky, Ohio.
The locomotive tender. two mail,

The derailment, the report said,
was due to the track being washed
out by heavy rains. At the time the
train was proceeding at slow speed.
