GOOD GROUNDS
FOR APPEAL IN
" A TER FIGHT
Woodbridge Feels New Main
from Oak Tree Should
Come First
BEFORE EXTRA 5 PER CENT
Carteret Also in Mood to Ap-
peaI-FeeI that Fight Has
Been Worth While

Woodbridge, Carteret and Metu-
chen the three municipalities serv-
ed by the Middlesex Water Company
| are expected to file an appeal with
| the Public Utility Commission to set
aside the decision on the new water
rate. This was made known at the
| meetings of the township committee
in Woodbridge and borough council
in Carteret, held last night.
Township Attorney J. H. Thayer
Martin was Of the opinion that there
were good legal grounds upon which
the decision could be set aside. He
also pointed out that an extra five
per cent granted the water company
should be eliminated until the COM
pany has actually constructed the
twenty-four inch main from Oak
Tree to Carteret. Mr.. Martin also
attacked the figures for fire water
service. He said that Woodbridge
will pay under the new rate about
ten times more than before for
hydrant service. The new rate he
said taxes the fire districts who
have no hydrants just as much as
districts who have a large number
of f1replugs.
The decision in brief as made pub
lie in Woodbridge and Carteret last
night follows:
The long drawn out battle between
the municipalities and the Middle
sex Water Company in Its request
for a large increase in rate. was
brought to an end with the an
nouncement of the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners decision on
Friday.
A careful examination of the de-
cision of the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners shows that the board
was unwilling to allow the Middle
sex Water Company to place on its
shoulders the responsibility for the
inadequate service that has been rem
dered the regular consumers.
The Middlesex Water Company
asked for valuation of $780,
900 on It's present property in
place. In addition. at the hearings,
1t called the attention of the board
to the fact that in order to give
proper service to woodbridge. Car
teret and Metuchen. a pipe line cost
ing roughly a half million dollars
would have to come out of the fu-
ture increase in rates in the way of
paying bonded interest and retiring
of bonds. The boards decision rec
ognizes the necessity for adequate
service and in granting a rate in
cludes in that rate the provision for
the nipe line as far as rate is con-
cerned.
TheArates granted then take care
of not only valuation on the present
property but the cost of extensions
necessary to give adequate service.
However, the board does not allow
the increase in full until the service
Is actuallv given. deducting 10 per
cent. from, all its rates including
meter service. fire service and service
rates.

BAN IS URGED
ON CARN|VALS
KiWaniS Club Ordinance Re-
ferred by Aldermen to
Committee of Whole

Derben w. Bartholomew, presi-
dent of the Kiwanis Club, accom-
panied by other members of the
club were present at the meeting of
| the Board of Aldermen last night
and submitted supplement to the
| ordinance to grant licenses and
regulate the fees thereon" which
would prohibit carnivals or travel
ing carnivals from showing in this
city.
The aldermen took a recess and
gave the floor to Mr.. Bartholomew,
who gave brief outline of the
manner the council in years gone
by gave out permits for shows of
this kind and that later the au-
| thority was transferred to the
mayor who still holds the authority
for the issuance of the carnival
permits. He held that this authority
should not be put in the hands of
the mayor, but that an ordinance
should be passed prohibiting the
carnivals and at this time submit
ted the ordinance which had been
approved by the city attorney.
During his talk Mr.. Bartholomew
pointed out that when these carni-
walls are held only a small amount
organizations who bring the carni-
val here and the majority of the
funds are taken away by the carni-
val people. He declared the car
nivals to be bad thing for children,
as the wheels of chance and other
devices which are operated to get
the money leads the children into
the gambling habit.
The carnivals come into town and
take away a lot of money Mr.. Bar
tholomew said, which is needed by
the merchants who are here all the
year round and must pay the taxes
which keep the city running. He
pointed to the robberies which have
followed the carnivals in the pas.
and of the many fights which occur
red on the grounds during the last
carnival held here. He said he was
of the opinion the council should
pass an ordinance against them, and
advocated instead " the travelling
carnivals that the various organiza-
tions in the city run their own affairs
of this kind.
The supplement 80 the ordinance
which Mr.. Bartholomew submitted
on behalf of the Kiwanis Club and
which was referred to the commit
tee of the whole follows:
IA supplement to an ordinance
entitled an ordinance to grant
licenses and regulate the fees there
on approved June 18th, 1873.
BE it ordained by the council OF
the city of Perth Amboy:
"Sec. /. That no person or per-
sons or body corporate shall be per-
mitted, within the city of Perth Am
boy, to carry on for a limited or un-
knitted time the business commonly
known and referred to as carnival
or travelling carnival, at which con-
cessions, gaming, games of chance
or other caravans or shows may be
held or given.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be unlawful for
the mayor, common council OF the
city, or any appointed or elected city
official, or any two or more of them
to issue a permit or license to any
person or persons or body corporate
for the purpose exhibiting or hold
ing such a carnival as 1t stated in
section one hereof.
Sec. g. That all ordinances or
parts of ordinances conflicting with
this ordinance be and the same are

dinance shall take effect immed-

BRITISH SOVIET RUSSIAN
NEGOTIATIONS ENDED

LONDON, Aug. (By, The Asso-
ciated Press) The negotiations
between the representatives of Great
Britain and Soviet Russia have
broken down and the projected
treaty will not be signed. it was an
nounced this morning by the for
eign Office.
Both Russians and English who
took part in the S1s hour endurance
test which came to a conclusion at
7:15 o'clock this morning were so
exhausted that they Immediately
went to bed, and even the British
foreign office lacks full details of the
final hours of the clash between the
advocates of the two widely different
economic systems.
The breakdown came as something
of q surprise as the Russians dnu
their supporters had been strongly
optimistic in their statements and a
belief had been created that treaty
between Russia and England would
be signed shortly.
There has been much speculation
in diplomatic CIRCLES as to what Sec
retary of State Hughes might have
said to Prime Minister Macdonald,
during the secretary's recent visit
here, with regard to Russian recog-
milton. Likewise the German dele
gates here for discussion of the
Dawes plan are eager to know
whether the breakdown of the An--
glo-Russian negotiations will affect
their own negotiations with the
allies.

GREATER
AREA OF
TRADING
Opening Up of New Territory
for this City Urged by
the Merchants
SEVERAL GOOD SECTIONS
Madison Township and South
River Area-NeW Bus
Lines Are Proposed

The opening up of new territory.
bringing of new faces into the stores
and shops of this city, Is one Of the
big things confronting the merchants
of this city today. The most prac-
tical way Of bringing this about Is
open up new ways of transportation
into richly settled territory laying
within few miles of this city, but
whose residents do not shop here as
often as the would like to, because
of lack of transportation.
Madison Township. Middlesex
county. contains many residents
who are situated inland far from
any means of transportation. The
logical shopping center for this Sec
tion is Perth Amboy. 1t is de-
clared by those who live in that
territory. that through bus route
operating between Cheesequake,
Browntown, Morristown and parts
of Cliffwood and Perth Amboy. the
way to this city would be opened
and much business obtained from
that section.
The township committee of Mata-
wan Township, which adjoins Madi-
son near Old Bridge and Browntown,
has already started agitation for a
state highway route with paved
highway over this territory and one
of the arguments for this route is
that 1t will create a shorter way to
the seashore, relieve traffic on Route
No. and provide for a new bus
route from Red Bank and Matawan
to Perth Amboy, touching all this
territory and give these people some
outlet to and from their property.
A bus route could be laid out
through this territory now, over al
ready established roads, but as they
are of dirt construction and In not
the best of condition 1t Is pointed out
that 1t would not be practical to
open bus lines until they are put In
better condition.
This is not the only territory
which should be linked by buses
with this city. Many point out the
fact that whereas the Public Service
Company has taken control of the
bus lines opening between South
Amboy and New Brunswick 1t would
be an easy matter to continue some
of these lines over the state bridge
I to this city, thus making it possible
for residents of Sayreville, South
River, Parlin, and other places
along the line to come to this city
and shop without the necessity of a
long wait at South Amboy for Perth
Amboy buses. This would not only
mean greater revenue for the Public
Service, but also would bring many
additional people to this city who
now go elsewhere to shop in order to
avoid a long wait and transfer be-
tween the various bus lines.
1t is things like this that a Cham
Der of Commerce could work up, 1t
Is said by some merchants, but as q
Chamber of Commerce is sadly lack,
ing in this city at the present time,
it seems as If the only way for these
matters to be brought to the atten-
ton of the proper parties Is for
those desiring the improvements to
place the matters before the govern
ing bodies and have them adopted
in this way. These are only two i'm
provements that would prove a great
benefit to the city as a whole and
! increase the territory served by the
local merchants, it is pointed out.

INITIAL STEPS
TAKEN TOOPEN
THOROUGHFARE
Action by Aldermen Includes
Move to Have Bridge Over
Central Railroad
MAYOR SENDS LETTER
Wants Enough Money Help to
Pay for Pulaski Avenue and
Fayette Street Projects
MAYOR SENDS LETTER

An ordinance for the opening of
terminus at Clifford street. to the
city property on which Is situated
the reservoir, was adopted on second
and third readings last night at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
and preliminary action was also
taken at this meeting for the COM
struction of bricge over the Cen~
trail railroad tracks in order to con-
meet the two dead ends Of the stro0k
and thus create a new thorouxu{4f&
from the city property to the 4tet9
Island Sound. which will becoms tsz
| main highway for tramc pe1MS@.
! the new Victory bridge Tan
Raritan river, and the Staten Island
ferry.
In connection with this improves
ment a communication was received
from Mayor William C. Wilson. urg-
ing the aldermen not to tie up the
finances of the city with street i'm
provements until after some pro-
vision has been made for crossings
over the railroad at Fayette street
and Pulaski avenue.
The aldermen adopted the ordi.
nance for the extension OF Fayette
street by unanimous vote.
Later in the meeting a resolution
was also adopted by unanimous vote
authorizing the city clerk to COM
municate with the Central RailroaS
and make application to the railroad
company for the consent of that
company for the construction of
bridge over the tracks at Fayettt
street, the bridge to be erected by
the city at the expense of the city
The company will also be requested
to submit terms upon which the inn
provement may be made. AS there
is no bridge or grade crossing over
the railroad tracks in Fayette street
at the present time, 1t is understood
that If the city desires to connect
these two dead ends of Fayette
street, it must be done at the ex-
pense of the city without financial
aid from the railroad company.
The mayors letter in connection
with crossing at Fayette street and
also Pulaski avenue follows:
II beg once more to call your at
tention to the fact that nothing has
been done as yet, that I know of.
towards financing the construction OF
railroad crossings at Pulaski avenue
and Fayette street.
II am not against street improves
ments In any sense of the word. but
am writing this only as a reminder
not to tie UP your finances by var
ious street Improvements SO that
these two projects cannot be carried
out, as L have been given to under
stand that the Pulaski avenue cross
ing especially, was to be part of the
financial program.
II am writing this letter before
you pass on street ordinances on
second and third readings. so that
you may be informed as to my atti-
tude on this matter in time.
Respectfully.
'W. c. WILSON,
Mayor"
The mayors letter was received
and referred to the committee as a
whole.

Legislation September 10

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. ST.
Frank Appleby. of Asbury Park, for
mer congressman and author of the
domestic anti-pollution bills, has
asked Secretary of War Weeks to
notify owners of merchant vessels
that the anti-pollution legislation is
effective September 10 and that the
law will be rigidly enforced. Heavy
penalties are provided In the legls-
lation in instances of violation.
Mr.. Appleby last week sent Secre-
tary of War Weeks and Secretary of
Commerce Hoover letters drawing
their attention to the need of strin-
gent enforc menS of the anti-pollu-
tion laws. The letters were the out
growth of a tour taken by Mr.. APP
pleby on the Loch Arbour beach,
near Asbury Park, on which large
globules of oil refuse from ships was
found. The oil had driven scores of
bathers off the bathing grounds.
The sludge was typical of that
which drifts In with virtually every
tide, and was responsible for the
senate and House acting upon the
legislation originally drawn up by
Mr.. Appleby. Under terms Of
the anti-pollution legislation, en-
forcement is placed in the hands of
the War Department. Lines whose
ships violate the terms of the meas
ure are liable to penalties of $4,000.
