100 Ways
To Make Money
III Could Fire Pottery
By BILLY WINNER

In another city knew wom-
an who had a kiln. She hred
4 pottery and made money do
ing it. There are thousands O.
school children and grown-ups'
too who make things from clay
ash trays, vases, bowls, paper
weights, etc, all of which have
to be fired.
Many of these people don't
know where to have the work
done. If 1 could fire pottery
would lose no time in telling
the people of Perth Amboy
about it. I would go a step
farther; would tell them of the
beautiful things they could
make with a little clay, and
maybe / could teach them how
to model it pleasingly.
At any rate, l would let an

Elimination Before
ETZdbethpOrt

through which by order of
this board the crossings are to be
eliminated, beginning January i,
1923, and to be completed II year
thereafter, a large construction
work which also Will necessarily in
volve delays to rai!road operation.
1.-THE work contemplated at Eliza
bethport under the present proceed
ing is a grade crossing elimination of
great magnitude, and the board is of
the opinion that because of its close
physical association with the other
two large projects at Newark bay
and at Perth Am5oy, and the con-
seQuent disturbance of and inter-
ruption to traffic resulting from hav-
ing all three operations carried on
simultaneously, work at Elizabeth
port should not go forward until the
other work is substantially finished,
and the operation of the railroad re-
stored over the new work. at the bay
bridge and Perth Amboy. There
fore, the board is of the opinion that
the work at Elizabethport, involved
in these proceedings, should not be
ordered at the present time, pro-
Vided, however, that the plans for
the bridge across Newark bay are
approved and that work is started in
accordance Herewith by February
Is, 1928"
The plans for the Elizabethport
elimination will require some al
teration, and the board said oppor-
tunity would be given the company
to submit it to tho commission the
proposed alteration before work on
the project is commenced.

TRENTON, Jan. 3t.-The Central
Railroad Company will not be re-
quired at this time to eliminate its
grade crossings in Elizabethport.
This was the ruling announced to-
day by the State Public Utility Com
mission, on the question of eliminat-
ing these grade crossings, which has
been hanging fire since March, 1915.
The utility commission came to its
decision in view of the fact that the
company has plans pending with the
secretary of war calling for rebuild
ing of its bridge across Newark bay.
The work is supposed to begin by
February Is, of this year, and must
be completed within two years. The
delay granted the railroad company
is contingent on the starting of work
on the bridge by the date mentioned.
The board declared also that the
was o engaged In the
work of eliminating grade crossings
in Perth Amboy, which is on the
main line of the railroad, twelve
miles south of Elizabethport, and
this work is a Large construc-
ton work. and the work at Eliza
pethport would await the elimination
at Perth Amboy.
After disposing of the proposed
work on the Newark bay bridge, teh
board said:
ut also appeared that on the main
line of the railroad, running south
from Elizabeth and serving the shore
resorts, and generally the south Jer-
ney district, located but twelve
miles from the proposed work at

Save MATAWAN PLANT

MATAWAN, Jan. S0.-A sprinkler
system recently installed in the plant
of the Mosaic Tile Company in At
lantic avenue, probably saved this
plant from serious damage by fire
early yesterday morning, when a
beam over one of the kilns began to
blaze. The heat from the burning
beam set the sprinklers to work and
the first which threatened to do con-
siderable damage to the plant was
extinguished with little loss. After
the blaze was out, the night men at
the plant could not turn off the
sprinklers and Marshal John Null
soft was requested to awake the for
man and send him 20 the plant, the
water was then turned off. For
some time the company has had men
at work erecting a huge water stor-
age tank on an iron frame work,
which will supply water to the
sprinkler system in case of NE.

UTILITY BILL
IS ATTACKED
Move to Put Holding Com
panleS Under Utility Com
mission Jurisdiction

TRENTON, Jan. 30.-A dire pres
ent and a still blacker future for
utility companies in this state, was
painted by officers of several Of the
many utility concerns at a hearing
yesterday before the Senate Judici-
AIRY Committee on he two senate
bills proposing to put utility holding
companies under the jurisdiction of
the Public Utility Commission and
preventing a company from putting
an increased rate into effect pend
ing litigation to establish the S
ableness of a rate fixed by the util-
ity commission. The bills were Of
fered by Senator Arthur Whitney, of
Morris county and they are Republi-
can platform pledges.
Bankruptcy and failure were said
by speakers to be going to be the
portion of utility companies which
are now operating. The concerns
were represented as being now oper-
ated at a loss and it was said they
will continue to be operated at a
loss.
"This BILL" said C. L. s. Tingley,
of Philadelphia, vice-president of
speaking of the holding companies
measure, sis a political attack on
one situation"
DO you really believe" returned
Senator Whitney, a member of the
committee, rising from his seat, with
ill-concealed anger, that this bill is
a political attack on the Public Ser
vice Corporation"
yes" affirmed Tingley.
From reading it?" queried Sena-
tor Whitney, author of the bills.
Eyes, that is my impression" sid
Tingley.
Senator Whitney denied the &C
~cusation with great heat and declar-
ed that the state had a moral obli-
CATION to protect the public and that
was the reason for the drafting the
bill affecting holding companies.
Former Senator Edmund Waketee.
counsel for the Public Service Cor
poration, declared that his firm was
not against the bill in principle. but
that the corporation fought the bill
because it was a mere duplication,
since the records of the various sub
sidiary concerns were open for the
inspection of the Public Utility
Board, and it would be a waste OF
to examine the finances of the
holding corporation and the subsid-
larry companies also. It was said
that the only transactions which the
