STATE PUSHES
PROBE Of DEAL
State Road Board Middle Far
From Settled by Edges
Action

TRENTON. March AFTER the
usual senate Republican conference
held early last evening just before
the senate adjourned for the day, the
situation on the highway muddle ap-
pears TO be unchanged. 1t is under
stood that the suggestion of United
States Senator Edge, for a one-man
road board was discussed at some
length and a vote was taken, but
there was no decisive result. The
conference did, however, come to
some agreement on the prospective
investigation Of the former state
highway board, recently ousted by
Governor Silzer when it was set
tied that Attorney General Thomas
f. McCran should carry the matter
into the state courts. The attorney
general yesterday started SUIT
against the commission for alleged
fraud in the acquisition of land for
an approach for the Perth Amooy
state highway bridge.
Sentiment in the senate seems 70
be crystallizing against a ripper
highway bill, taking the power OF ap-
pointment from the hands Of Gov
ernor Silzer, and vesting 1t in the
legislature in joint session.
and what change there is IN the
highway situation today is toward
confirmation of the Silzer nominees,
liz there is any change. Mr.. Edge
offered his plan of a one-man COM
mission and named mis- man, Thomas
H. Macdonald, for the post, The
House of Assembly majority was
ready to pass the bill to bring this
about. but the senate was the rub.
The group of independents in that
body. about seven III number, lis
tened politely 10 what Mr.. Edge sug-
gested, but failed TO see the wisdom
Of his plan.
Therefore, it might be said that
day by day in every way con-
:irmation of the Silzer nominees
stewart, Jelin, Scott and kidde-ls
becoming surer and surer.
The independent group-Stevensi
the Republican floor leader from
Monmouth; Whitney of Morris,
Parry of Essex, Case of Somerset
Roberts of Burlington, Larson of
Middlesex and Pierson of Union,
hold the balance of power. They
are against both the ripper" and
the one-man commission plan of Mr..
Edge. They are for confirmation.
A break in their ranks is necessary
to bring about a change in the ist-
nation. The break is not likely.
Therefore, If the state is ever to get
highway board. it looks as if the
majority must yield 10 this group Of
it's own party and approve or re-
ject Mr.. Silzer's names. In fact, this
group of senators, with the four
Democrats, constitute senate ma
jority and could now, I. they wished,
pass on the names submitted by
Mr.. Silzer.

SALUDES MURDER CASE
| NOW IN HANDS OF JURY

NEW YORK. Mar. 7-The murder
case against Mrs. Paulette Saludes,
slayer of Oscar Martielliere, broker,
who, she claims, betrayed and fleeced
her and then cast her off, was given
into the hands of a jury at 12:4O
o'clock today.
Before sending the jury out, Cen
eral Sessions Judge Koenig read a
sixty-page charge in which he urged
the jurors to decide the case with
their heads and not their hearts.
Much of the charge was devoted
to a discussion of the laws regarding
temporary insanity. on which Mrs.
Saludes' counsel based her defense.

ty additional feet of land on each
side of the bridge approach in order
that the structures might not be en-
dangered by fire such as often oc-
cur in lumber yards, that being the
business of the Donnell company.
Cou. Whittemore's suggestion was
later adopted by the board and il
was possible to buy a strip from
the property one hundred and ten
feet in width. To purchase more
land than this was never consiG-
cred until the discussion between
the commission and its engineers,
including Mr.. Meade who was also
a bridge engineer for the Public
Utility Commission when it was
staged by Mr.. Meade that il still
more property was required the
natural slope earth fill could be
used.
This deepening retaining walls
and causing a saving to the state Of
at least $4,000. Then it was tina.
we undertook the look into the pur-
chase of the entire property. The
DonneIl company asked S25o,000 for
that they had spent many thousands
the land stating it cost $150.000 ana
of dollars to improve the property.
grading and to construct a dock
along the waterfront. The property
also had railroad siding which cost
them, I think they sta5ed--~1ass<4.
STe,ee0 and purchased riparian
rights from the state.
The entire track was appraised
by the president of the Perth 4Ambos
Trust company, the second Iargest
bank in Perth Amboy, in a full and
detailed appraisement at S245. 00e
Fraser Bros, real estate men Of ex-
cellent standing and of unusual ex
perience appraised it at $227 009
The only other appraisement ever
called to my attention was made ns
a real estate development COMPANY
of South Amboy who appraised it
$4,000, the amount OF the tax as
SCISSORS appraisement and was less
than the land cost before any money
was spent on it. The next offer re-
ceived from the Donnell coinpany
was S225,000.
I'VE knew that by acquiring the
entire property $4,000 would be
saved in the construction cost. AT d
later meeting the state highway en-
gineer, Mr.. Wasser, brought out that
the entire tract was a more desired
location for the successful biddsl
because OF its being the only vacant
lot near the shore and because it had
both water and rail facilities. Ii we

rent the remaining land from the
owner. If they should ask 5000 per
month which 1t was understood they
would ask, the contractor would pay
in four years. $4,000 for rent which
of course, would be added to the.
contract price. If the state furnish
ed the land $4,000 would be saved.
At completion of the bridge five
acres could be sold or retained as
storage or shipping point by the
state highway commission $150,003
saving plus $4,000 equals s24s.00e
and sale of the remaining five valu-
able acres with water front TO be
sold. Ineidently it may be added
that some time ago the Doweli com
pauy offered 70 take back the five
acres at the same price paid.

FORDS TO PLAY AT
HOUCHTON SUNDAY

The L'Anse Fords were defeated at
L'Anse Sunday afternoon by the Cal
umet Aristocrats, the final score be-
ing to 6.
The home team played ragged ball
at times and this accounted for their
defeat. Several times it was noted
that some of the boys refused to take
chances when a little effort on their
part might have made difference in
the result.
Calumet has made the statement
that they had a patched-up team on
the field here, when the score book
will show that each of their players
appeared in the lineup of the prev
ious game.
Calumet started the scoring in the
second with four runs, scoring anoth-
er in the third and two in the fifth.
L'Anse scored one in the second and
five in the fourth, and had chance
to tie the score in the ninth, and un-
doubtedly win. ST. George knocked
out three-bagger and could have
scored on Zryd's fiv, but was called
out for not touching the bases.
Kline pitched good ball for the
Fords but was not given the best sup
port at critical times. Zryd replaced
him in the box in the sixth inning and
worked himself out of bad hole
right at the start, when a couple Of
batted balls went for hits through
improper fielding. After this he held
the Calumet team helpless.
The summary follows.
