HOLDS UP WORK ON STREETS
UNTIL WORK is COMPLETED

An adjourned meeting of the Mayor
and Council was held on Tuesday
Tuesday night for the purpose OF
adopting some matters relating to the
street contract. Mr.. Carey, represent
ing the Benjamin Foster Company
was present as was also James
Sparks, the Assistant County Engi-
neer.
A request for final payment of the
more than $1,000 had been asked for
at the previous meeting but was dis.
allowed as the contractor had moved
his building apparatus away and the
streets in places were not UP to the
standard as provided for in the con-
tract. AS they were still in the same
condition, it was decided to withhold
final payment until put in satisfactory
condition instead of relying upon the
maintenance long as a guarantee.
The new light to be put in at Willis
and Virginia Avenues must wait until
next years contract is entered into

Court M0difieS Public
Service Fare Order
Judge Rallstab. of the Federal
Court, Allows Change to Con-
form With New Rates

Ireutcu-federal Judge Rallstab
modified Federal Court order Of Oc-
tober 20, 1921, which granted the Pub
lie Service Company an eight-cent
fare. The modification specifies that
the company may change d fve-cent
fare within the city limits in larger
cities Of the State and a I0-cent fare
without transfer, for ride beyond the
limits Of cities.
This action by Judgse Ralstab was
at the suggestion of counsel for the
Public Service Company and in &C
cordance with the company's accept
ance Of the proposal Of the Public
Utility Commission embracing the
new rates. The new schedule viii be
given a four months trial
At the hearing before Judge Rail-
stab here on the recommendation Of
Special Master Thomas G. Haight that
the Public Service Railway be granted
an eight-cent fare, L. Edward Herr
mann, counsel for the Public Utilities
Commission, charged that former
State Senator Edmund W. Wakelee,
one of the counsel for the railway com
pany, had tried to prejudice the court.
Mr.. Hermann called Judge Rallstab's
attention to the remark of Mr. Wake
lee to the effect that the Public Utih-
ties Commission, in refusing to grant
the railway a higher rate of fare, was
depriving it Of revenues is was en-
titled to.
"Do you suppose I would be infu-
enced by such a remark ?" asked
Judge Rallstab of Mr. Hermann.
Gust the same" replied Mr. Herr
mann, ''the remark was made in an
attempt to prejudice you"
Fight Still On
While President McCarter of the
Public Service Railway Company was
with drawing in Newark the second
application he had presented to the
Public Utility Commission for a
trolley car fare of ten cents counsel
for the company, the commission and
for Jersey City and Newark, continued
arguments before y. S. District Court
Judge Rallstab on the company's first
application for the dime rate.
Judge Rallstab has indicated that
the court will not attempt to fix an
exact valuation on the company
property, considering that element
only in so far as it may be necessary
to determine whether the 7 cent base
rate fixed by the Public Utility Com
mission and subsequently enjoined by
the court was eonfiscatory.
The court has also practically elm
mated from the controversy much OF

OPERATORS TAKE LAST GAME


The Operators came out on top in
the sixth and last game of the so call
ed 'Little Worlds Series" last Friday
evening when the game was called be-
cause of darkness in the sixth inning
with the score standing to 8.
After losing the first three games
of the series and playing on one
game margin for the rest the Mechan-
les and Power team finally found them
selves won two and came mighty
close to making the series run into
the full seven games, which would
have necessitated "Judge Landis''
making a special plea to the legislat-
ure for the extension of daylight saw
ing time, otherwise the game would
probably have been played after dark
or by arc light. But the series ended
in the nick of time and everybody
scenes to be satisfied, altho it was
rather a hard pill for the Mechanics
and their supporters to swallow, in
view of the circumstances under which
the series suddenly came to an end
when "Pete" Meade announced" Game
called because of darkness" But even
he had no choice.
The Mechanics came to bat in the
fifth inning with the score tied at two
each. Gerfn, the first man up, started
off with a clout to left field which
looked like a sure hit. But Mckee
must have remembered how inconsid-
arate CERT. had been of him two games
previous and pulled the same play of
deliberately robbing him of hit with
a one handed catch. Naturally the
applause was forthcoming.
The next man, Poole, made Doggy
Dalbow a little nervous and he missed
the grounder that came towards him.
Lafferty famed for the second out
and it looked as if the Mechanics had
failed. A shade Of hope, "Shackie"
Hunter waited Creamer out for the
second time in the game and Mercer,
who stands first in the series batting,
came clean with pretty drive to the
road along the right field foul line
and his second hit of the game.
The Mechanics took the field for
the final inning with the one run lead.
Price, who had replaced "Shi' Pen
nington, was stiff and cold and walk
Cd his first ard had three and none on
Peck when he found himself and
forced him to hit to Patterson. Joe

OperatOrSWin Baseball
Series Championship
Take The Sixth Game After
Mechanics Put Up a
Good Battle

The base ball season has come to a
close and quoting the scripture, '"the
last shall be first for such has been
the case with the championship Oper-
ating team who finished in the cellar
position the first half of the season.
After winning the right to play in the
"little worlds series" by finish in the
league for the second half of the sea-
son they continued their winning streak
up until the fourth game of the series
when the Mechanics finally found
themselves and took two.
The series have been interesting
and excellent ball has been played by
both tams for the most part, and the
attendance of the base ball fans has
been fair, altho some were thinking of
digging out the winter overcoat if the
series ran much longer.
To eliminate such disputes as arose
to wards the close of the first half of
the season out-of-t town. umpires were
brought in and Messrs. Allen and
Roche, of Gibbstown, performed in a
mastery fashion with few instances
for objection.
During the series, however, local
umpires rendered the decisions, but it
is man job and an ump needs the skin
of a rhinoceros and the feeling of a
porcupine to withstand the assent or
disapproval of the enthusiastic spec
tators who are out to see their re-
spective team win.
A great variety seemed the best fo1
one game was enough for most of
them, altho Bill Coslett, of the Ser
vice-Engineers, stuck it out for two
games and went to the last inning of
his third before succumbing. His rec
ord was beaten only by w. T. Drennen,
on bases, who went the last three
games. Taken on the whole the de-
cisions were fair enough and any poor
decision was not given with the idea
of partiality, but in the spirit of goot
sportmanship, but it cannot be saiC
that they were all taken in that spirit

HIGHWAY BOARD
|NSPECTSLAND
Commissioners Seek Most
Direct Route to Bridge for
Shore Traffic Here
PLAN BRIDGE AT MORGAN
Road Board Inspects Route
4 Through South Amboy,
Morgan and Keyport

State Highway Commissioner
Abraham Jelin, of New Brunswick
announced this morning that he and
| other members of the commission
made an inspection on roads in this
city and vicinity yesterday for the
purpose of deciding upon the most
direct route which the shore traffic
road could take through this city,
connecting with the new state
bridge. The commissioners looked
! over Cleveland avenue and it is
known that the board has before it
sketches showing the layout of a
road which would start at Amboy
avenue a few feet from the Wood
| bridge Perth Amboy line and swing
through what is known as the Mau-
rer property to Cleveland avenue
and thence into Convery place.
Although Amboy avenue, as re-
located, is somewhat shorter than
! the old Amboy avenue road, the pro-
| posed route through Cleveland ave-
nue. would result in a direct line foi
! through traffic to and from tht
! shore connecting with points to the
/ north.
| The work of laying the concrete
base on Amboy avenue has stopped
| owing to the condition of the soil
The contractor is awaiting per'fnis-
sion to use cinders as a means of
furnishing the desired drainage.
A program for many road pr1Jcets
is contemplated following a tour
made by the advisory committee of
the State Highway Commission in
Perth Amboy, South Amboy and
Morgan yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing their visit in Perth Amboy, the
committee considered a few ap-
proaches for the new bridge which is
to connect Perth Amboy and South
| Amboy. Every possible route was
considered. Two or three parallel
roads were favored by the members
as most economical and will be sug-
gested by the committee in their
report to the State Highway Commits
sion.
A recommendation will be made by
the committee 1t is understood, to
widen the road leading from the
tou.& Amboy side of the bridge to
BordentnWr avenue. Following an
inspection of the Morgan road situa-
tion the committee will recommend
TO build new road running parallel
with the New York and Long Branch
Railroad, thus eliminating the use
of the railroad crossing.
The new road would run into
South Keyport. Motorists on the
way to the shore would save much
time as the center of Keyport would
not have to be used. The present
route to Keansburg and to the shore
would be cor inued, but a plan will
be suggested to build bridge over
the present railroad. The commits.
sion may eventually use the present
trolley trestles abandoned by the
Central Traction Company as a right
of way to relieve the congestion at
that point. The overhead bridge
is expected to be completed by the
middle of June, 1924, in time for
the summer rush of traffic using the
road to the shore. Other plans sug-
gested by the committee will iu-
clude a two-year program.

entire day on the road situation in

Abraham Jelin, Engineer Sloan and
Construction Engineer Frank Bed
