BRIDGE SURVEY
Commission of Opinion that
Bridge, Not Tunnel to Perth
Amboy, is More Practical

ToTTENVILLE, Aug. 22:-The
committee appointed by the New
York Vehicular Tunnel Commission
made visit here yesterday afternoon
inspecting the Arthur Kill and fol-
lowing a lengthy conference agreed
that the need of bridge linking Tot
itenville and Perth Amboy to relieve
the present existing traffic congestion
between these points was evident.
Grover A. Whalen, commissioner of
plants and structures, at the con-
lclusion of the conference, declared
that he favored the construction of
ia bridge.
The South Shore Protective As
Isociation headed by A. G. Marcher,
deplored the present situation ex-
Iplaining that even the three ferries
now in operation cannot handle the
traffic. Mr.. Marcher made a stren-
uous effort to have the committee
understand the handicap without a
bridge over the Kill.
The Commission was told that
some three hundred acres would be
available for an approach from Tot
ltenville and the general opinion was
that the land could be acquired at
nominal fee. The land adjoins
the Brown shipyard. The bridge
would run from the highest point
here directly into the highest ele-
lvation at Perth Amboy, touching
Market street. w. C. Wilson. Ma
yor of Perth Amboy who was also
present at the meeting told tine COM
mittee that he believed Market street
would be the desirable bridge outlet
on the JERSEY side
Mayor Wilson mentioned also Fay
cite street for the Perth Amboy side
of the bridge.
The committee devoted it's time 10
the discussion of a bridge. No men,
tion was made of tunnel between
here and Perth Amboy. In response
to query State Engineer Dwight
LaDu, of Albany a member of the
commission said that a tunael pro-
ject would be out of the question. He
favored the construction of a bridge,
however. and from an engineering
standpoint advised that a rock foun-
dation be used in erecting the struc-
ture.
The cost of the bridge it Is ex-
Ipected will be about 81. 900, 900. Some
of the members of the committee
discussed ways and means to obtain
the needed funds and it was intimat-
ed that the New York states share
of $3,50O,000 could be secured
through direct appropriation pre-
ferably than through a bond issue.
Great confidence was expressed by
the conferees that the sum would be
secured.
Commissioner Whalen said that he
will urge the New Jersey Vehicular
Tunnel Commission to appoint a
similar committee to work on the
survey of the bridge to work in CO.
operation with the New York COM
mittee. The legislature of New Jer-
sey will be also asked to appropriate
SIS, 900 for the preliminary work.
A report of the committee and
their recommendation will be filed
with the New York State Vehicular
Tunnel Commission shortly.

q JAY WALKING
ACTION HELD
Mayor in Letter to Board of
Aldermen Outlines Scheme
to Protect Pedestrians

Mayor William c. Wilson in a COM
munication to the Board CT Alder
men received by that body at their
meeting on Monday night outlined
scheme whereby it is hoped acci-
dents to pedestrians will be cut to
small figure. The danger of Jay
| Walking" has been already brought
to the attention of the public, but
the mayor is of the opinion that the
present safety rules should be made
stronger. The communication, pend
ing action by the aldermen, was re-
ferred to the police committee.
The communication follows:
president Board of Education,
Perth Amboy, N j.
Dear Sir:
II feel that from a safety first
point of view, the time has arrived
when the street accidents are get
ting to be of such a serious nature
that we will have to take every pre-
caution possible, which we have, of
course, done to date. However, the
methods so far adopted do not seem
to meet with general success.
"As l understand that about 65
per cent of the serious accidents
and killing pedestrians, commonly
known as Jay walkers" is rather
serious problem, l feel that if we
can properly educate the people,
most of all our school children, that
this large average will be cut to a
very appreciable extent.
"The method which 1 would like
to see adopted by your board, and
carried out. Is, of course, new and
possibly might not meet with the
success that l think it will. My idea
of the system of education is to use
all the publicity possible through
our local press, through our schools
and by painting appropriate signs
along the curb, in the middle of the
blocks and on the side walk. (this
Ia now being done) and also on the
electric light and telephone poles,
wherever convenient.
"Of course, certain allowances
must be made for business people,
whose calling takes them to and fro
across the street, such as postmen
and delivery men, newsboyS and
professional men, ETC., and 10 those
people I feel we should advocate
the direct crossing of the street, at
right angles with the curb, only
whenever necessary, and that all
oblique or diagonal crossing the
street should be deemed a ;nisde-
meanor. Possibly an ordinance
might have to be adopted To carry
out the enforcement of that Part of
the program.
my idea would be to ask every
body interested to put themselves
on probation for at least one week
prior to September 1, and trusting,
of course, to their own honesty. they
will be given a small button--say
about a half inch in diameter, of an
olive green color, to make it as in
conspicuous as possible, so that it
will not be Objectionable to the
wearer, and on the face of the but
ton to have three small white initials
d. j. W., standing for Don't Jay
Walk" l feel after having tried 1t
out myself for the last few weeks
that it is merely a habit crossing
the street at random, and that If we
can so interest our populace that
they will take this cause up, which
is purely and simply humanitarian
move, it will prove entirely success
full.

COAL ACTION
IS AWAITED
Mine Union Leaders and 0p-
orators Still at Atlantic City
for Next Move

ATLANTIC CITY. N! J.,Aug. a.
Miners union officials and anthra-
cite coal operators who yesterday
broke off wage negotiations for their
industry were still in the city today
awaiting whatever communication
might come to them from the United
States coal commission. or other
agency of the Federal government.
Both sides had made it clear that
nothing was likely to come by their
initiation which would allow the
mines TO operate after September /.
On that date the present contract
fixing the wages and conditions of
employment for all the unionized
mine workers in the anthracite re-
gion expires. Repeated attempts to
get an agreement as to the terms of
a contract to continue the employ
ment relations after that date have
failed even with the coal commits
sion's intervention.

CUBAN RAILROAD ACTION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (By The
Associated Press)-Consideratton OF
the difficulties between Washington
and Havana over the proposed con-
solidation of Cuban railways has
reached a stage where plans for an
adjustment satisfactory to both gov
ernments are in process of formula
ton here.
Thus far nothing definite has been
done, but the state department now
is advised fully of the arguments
mt forward both for and against
the proposed legislation, and it is
known that some officials, at least.
believe the way can be opened to an
agreement which will remove the
necessity for any more direct action
by the United States.

No London Expression

LONDON, Aug. % (By The Asso-
ciated Press) In the absence OF
Prime Minister Baldwin, Lord Curzon
and other cabinet members no ex-
preston of official opinion regard
ing Premier Poincare's latest addi-
ton to the reparation issue was
forthcoming today. In official quar-
ters in London the first impression
of the note. based upon the French
official summary, was one of dis
appointment.
Many of those versed in the intri-
cate indemnities problem felt that
the note constituted no substantial
advance on the French PREMIER
previous communications, although
they were impressed by it's friendly,
tconciliatory spirit.
Regret was expressed over
Frances refusal to have an inter
national commission assess Ger
many's capacity to pay and at the
French insistence that the present
reparation commission shall continue
periodically to determine the Ger
man financial ability. The British
view is that the existing reparation
body is essentially a Franco Belgium
organization.
The British cabinet will examine
the document with painstaking care
to discover If it offers even a partial
ground for agreement, and no effort
will be spared it is forecast, to es-
tablish unity of purpose and aim
with a view to continuing the friendr
ly cooperation of Great Britain and
France in the settlement of this and
other European problems.
