Peas Doing Well
Despite Frosts

INLAND, Jan. 17.-Peas are still
being shipped from WIN ranch de-
spite the frost which laid low much
of the acreage of this tender winter
vegetable in other parts of the val
ley. This Is acre tract shows no
damage whatever from the cold snap,
and that fact is a big boost for Nj
land s well known frOstless belt.
The first summer squash was picked
this week, and shipments in com
mercial quantities will be made in
another 10 days. Blossoms are set
ting on the tomatoes in the five
Iacre tract on this ranch, and while
these are apparently unhurt, a few
leaves are slightly nipped. j. f.

as highly pleased, and not a little
surprised at the escape of the vege-

BOOz ANSWE RED
BY QUAKENBUSH
For Blaming Freeholders on
Condition of Brace Ave.
Detour

NEW BRUNSWICK, June s.
Freeholder Walter Quackenbush
chided the statement made yesterday
by City Engineer Louis p. Booz, Jr.,
of Perth Amboy, in which he accred-
its the Board of Freeholders with the
failure to cooperate in getting the
Brace avenue detour in good shape
for vehicle traffic and declared to
a reporter of the Perth Amboy
Evening News this morning that the
Perth Amboy officials are attempting
to play politics instead of action to
provide good roads.
Freeholder Quakenbush also
charged the officials of the City of
Perth Amboy with lack of co-opera-
tion in every way as far as the free
holders are concerned. He said that
the officials of that city have been
informed of the proposed improve
ment of that part of New Brunswick
avenue from Convery place to Flor
ida Grove road and that ample time
was given to make proper arrange
ments to bring Brace avenue into a
passable conditin. At the time
the proposed Improvements were
discussed in which the officials of
Perth Amboy were also asked to
contribute financial assistance. 1t
was distinctly outlined that Brace
avenue would be used as detour.
He blames fully the Perth Amboy
and the road officials for any short
comings that autoists have to under
go at the present moment.
To substantiate his statement that
Perth Amboy is not the least CO.
operating with the freeholders. NJ .
Quakenbush pointed out that the
city has refused ever to entertain
ths suggestion to assist the county
financially in getting the curb TO
curb improvement of that portion of
road now under Improvement.
1.-THE freeholders at all times are
willing to cooperate and II there Is
a deplorable condition of the detour
in existence the officials of Perth
Amboy only and not the board Of
freeholders are to blame" concluded
Mr.. Quakenbush.

Auguste j. Rossi and James Hen

ers and residents along the south
shore of this ci.y appeared before
the aldermen last night with the
request that action of some sort be
taken to remedy the existing condi-
ions in which the sewers along the
southern waterfront are emptying on
dry land during the greater part OF
the day, creating a nuisance because
of the odor and making it unhealthy.
This matter has been brought be-
fore various boards of aldermen
time and again during the past eight
or ten years and as yet no real ac-
tion has been Forthcoming, the COM
mittee said.
words of encouragement have
been given us, boards have told US
that they would do all in their power
to remedy matters, but no action has
ever been taken" the aldermen were
told
1t was generally understood that
the southern sections sewer prob
lem would be solved when the grade
crossing elimination trunk sewer was
installed, as it was planned to run
all OF these sewer outlets, now
emptying into the Raritan river,
into the new trunk sewer. II has
now been learned, however, that this
will be impossible as the funds can
not be used for anything other than
the actual elimination of grade
crossings, which will include the new
trunk sewer but not the joining Of
these other smaller sewer mains.
The committee was told that the
city's finances at present would not
warrent any promises being made
when conditions could be remedied.
I'VE have been before boards in the
past when the funds were available
and still we were not given consider
alton" the aldermen were told.
Alderman John E. Sofield repre-
senting the first ward in which the
nuisance exists, spoke in favor of re-
lieving conditions declaring that the
spokesmen had not expressed pre-
vailing conditions as strongly as
they might. He said it was his un-
derstanding that this matter. was to
be taken care Of when the new cross
