BRIDGE PROJECT
IS DISCUSSED
Lions Discuss Bruck Avenue
Approach and Port Au-
thority Control Feature

A discussion concerning the loca-
ton of the proposed bridge between
this city and Staten Island took place
today at the weekly luncheon meet
ing of the Lions Club. There were
some present who declared the BruclS
avenue location, as proposed in the
report recently submitted to the leg
islature, to be of no benefit to the
city, although it might be all right
for the through traffic between New
York and the New Jersey coast re-
sorts.
Leo Goldberger declared that from
Information he has received, it would
seem as if the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad figured considerably in the
construction of the new bridge, and
that it might become more of
railroad bridge than a bridge for
vehicular traffic. Some objection
was also voiced because of the ac-
ton taken to place the bridges con-
struction in the hands of the Port
Authority and it was alleged that the
project either die natural death or
become d railroad bridge.
Emil Stremlau declared that he
did not think the Lions Club should
take too hasty action in the matter
and that it would be better to let the
preliminary work go on as it is, and
then voice the objections of the club.
after the matter had taken definite
form. Others present were of the
same opinion.
Harry Medinets declared the prop
er place for the bridge is in Market
street and that 1t will cost more to
ole .ff n hfti1
a highway to the Bruck avenue
bridge, than it would to obtain the
land in Market street. He main
tanned that the property value in
Market street would raise greatly
when the bridge work started.
At this point Assemblyman Thom-
as l.. Hanson informed the club that
the heport as submitted was only a
preliminary one and that the COM
mittee doing the work only had a
small sum to work with and that the
bill to be passed by the legislature
will allow the engineers to go more
deeply into the subject and make
soundings, etc. He advised the club
ed and further action taken before
making suggestions concerning the
location of the structure. This was
finally agreed upon.
1t was decided to send a delega-
tion from the local club to the meet
ing to be held in st. George, S. l.,
tomorrow night.
William M. Weiant presided at to-
days meeting. ]. Alfred Compton
will be the chairman of next weeks
session of the club.
A telegram was ordered sent to
August Staudt, who Is confined in a
New York hospital by illness.

SHOT INNOCENT
MAN, HE FINDS
Money Negro Thought Board
ing Boss Took Found in
His Own Shoe

Gus Young, colored, a boarder at
|2s9 Huntington street, started out
yesterday morning with a load of
GIN under his belt and boasted of a
plan to get the boss of his board
ing house for the theft of a sum of
money he missed. Before the night
was over the negro was behind the
bars for the shooting of John Rice.
colored, his boarding boss.
After firing two shots at Rice, one
of which entered the head near the
right temple, Young ran from the
scene only to be apprehended by Pa
trolman Henry Zanzalari, who cap
tured the gunman and partly loaded
revolver alone.
| When the shots were heard a cali
! was sent to headquarters by a North
Amboy resident who feared that il
would be a gun battle out of the or
dinary. Lieutenant Calvin detailed
Acting Sergeant Reager and Officers
lJorgensen, Harding. Rubaha and
Lybeck to the scene, and upon the
arrival of these men. Officer Zan-
zalari had the case cleared up.
Throughout the night Young con-
tinued his stand that he meant to
saved his own life by pushing the
ing fired. Young's second shot was
wild. In court this morning the
negro declared that he intended to
do away with Rice, and was held in
$4,000 bail to await action of the
grand jury.
Gin Awakening
Following this mornings court
session, Young was taken back to a
cell and in, his short stay, he evident
ly had an awakening. The gin of
today has a twenty-four hour effect,
it is said. The negro's memory evil
IDENTIFY returned and his first move
was to take off one shoe. With this
operation completed. the gun WELD
er uncovered the sum of money he
blamed Rice with stealing. I'M
mediately his feeling toward his
boarding boss cha anged, and he in
formed the police that he had made
a great mistake.
Young was firm in his belief last
night that inasmuch as he believed
Rice guilty of the theft. heaven
alone would decide his guilt or in
nocence in connection with the
shooting. The negro was sincere in
his desire to gain revenge at any
cost. and also was sincere in his
sorrow this morning following the
recovery of his money.
The police are of the opinion that
Young should pay more attention
to taking off his shoes once in
while, than to the disposing of his
favorite beverage, gin. Chief Ton
nesen was high in his praise of Offi-
Ger Zanzalari this morning for his
efficient work last night
On the way to headquarters in the
police car. the latter was struck by
a car driven by Andrew Schantz, at
the corner of Smith and High
streets. Both automobiles were
damaged.

he is sending to Mayor William c..

by the city's chief executive that the

manner in which some of the citys

January "a 1924.
Hon. William G. Wilson, Mayor,
CITY Hall,
Perth Amboy, N. j.
Dear Sir:-According to the
Evening News of Wednesday, Jan
uary 23, you are considerably vexed
and angered over the resolution dis
continuing the use of a car hired
from Theodore Anderson for City
Electrician FRANKIE at the rate. of
500 per month. 1 notice that the
city electrician notified your Honor
felSftHct 10 Ifl6 re-
ceived by him from me as chair
man of the fire department. Before
you become angered again over
any matter that concerns my COM
mittee. l believe it would be good
policy to get in touch with me
rather than with the city electrician
and procure from me information as
to what my instructions were.
'In the matter concerning the
automobile you have been misin-
formed.
II have been a member of the
1924 Board of Aldermen for less
than one month and l cannot un-
derstand the following passage in
your letter.
'sI further call your attention to
the seriousness of acting illegally
and. unlawfully as far as our city
government is concerned
II assure you that l have partic-
ipated in nothing illegal or unlawful
since I have been a member of the
council and it strikes me as being
cheap politics on your part to make
all this noise about nothing unless
you were misinformed and uninten-
tionally made such ridiculous state
ment.
