NEW BRIDGE
COMM| TEE At
FIRST SESSION
Span to TottenvilIe Is Dis
cussed, but Organization
Is Not Completed
LARSON, HANSON AWAY
Another Meeting Will Be Held
in Short Time to Start
Work in Earnest

Owing to the absence of Sena-
tor Morgan F. Larson and As
semblyman Thomas Hanson OF
this city, who were in session at
Trenton last night, the meeting
called to appoint and organize
a committee to promote and agi-
tate the building of bridge be-
tween this city and Tottenville
was postponed until a later date.
Alderman-at-Large Richard I'll.
Calvin chairman Of the committee
Of twenty members who were ap-
pointed at the meeting of the Board
of Aldermen on last Monday night,
in a few remarks told those who
attended last night the purposes of
the committee and said that the rea-
son for the postponement OF the
organization of that body was be-
cause he felt that without the two
legislative representatives working
with the committee in every move
to bring about the new bridge little
could be done.
The chairman of the committee
will in a few days find out when 1t
will be convenient for the assembly,
man and senator to be present ana
then call the raeeting in the course
of another week. In the meantime,
Mr.. Calvin pointed out that the
members of the committee should
begin their work Immediately in
talking bridge and nothing else.
He said that IL the men of the city
get together and organize for one
purpose a bridge from Perth Amboy
to Tottenville, much can be done
to bring about the project.
The alderman-at-l Large asked those
who turned out for the meeting to
bring along a friend to the next
gathering of the committee, in or
der that the committee be enlarged
to fifty members instead of twenty.
This, the chairman said, would
spread the work of agitating the
bridge and would make the work
lighter for the individual members.
He also added that the committee
would cooperate with the South
Shore Improvement Association in
bringing the new bridge from this
city to Tottenville.
Several suggestions were made by
various members of the committee
to the effect that buttons for coat
lapels, signs and pastors for auto
mobile windshields be purchased to
keep the project in the minds of the
people at all times. 1t was also sug-
gested to have rubber stamps made
for outgoing mails that would be
sent throughout the state. These
things will all come up at the next
meeting when the election of officers
and organization is held. Those
present last night were:
Alderman -at-Large Richard j.
Calvin, Albert G. Waters. Joseph
Massopust, I. T. Madsen, John Sea-
man. Sr., Louis Y. Sosin, Michael
Trygar, Charles Dorian, Stanley

VALLEY
ST0REHOUSE IS
BURNED DOWN
Two Story Building, Formerly
Freight and Traffic Office,
Razed Today
DAMAGE PLACED AT So 900
Fire, of Unknown Origin, Was
Discovered in Building
Shortly Before Noon

Fire Of unknown origin at
noon today caused the destruc-
ton of the two story frame
building known as the Lehigh
Val ~ freight dock office, near
the coal bumper and caused
damage estimated at over 5000.
The structure destroyed by the
blaze was formerly occupied by
Joseph Greer, agent who is now
situated in the main office on
State street. At that time it was
known as the freight traffic Of
fee, but since the removal of this
office to State street, the build
ing has been used as a storehouse
for friedrich and other inflam-
mable material to be used in re-
pairing the bumper power house.
At 1850 o'clock this morning an
employe of the railroad company in
passing the structure discovered the
fire and turned in an alarm from box
SIS one of the private boxes of the
city department. In response to this
alarms the city firemen and the fire
fighters of the railroad company
turned out but before they were
set to battle the blaze. the entire
building was in flames. 1t col
lapsed about a half hour after the
discovery and when the under alarm
taps were given there was little
left of the building.
The railroad company has hy-
drants all along the pier and water
is pumped from the sound. The
city and railroad companies COM
bined their fire fighting materials,
hose, etc., in fighting the blaze.
There was no one around the
storehouse today and the man in
charge of the powerhouse Is the only
one who has access to the building
Freight engines go up and down the
pier past the building, but the wind
today carried the sparks away from
the structure.
Damage caused by the destruction
of the building is stimated at $4,000.
and the damage by heat and water
TO the contents of same will reach
about $1,000. 1t is believed every
thing is covered by insurance. Sew
eral lines of hose were damaged by
the heavy water pressure.
This is another alarm under the
new system. For the past year or
more the city has a box at this place
and prior to that time the Lehigh
Valley fire company had a box
placed near the bumper. The under
control taps were sounded today
about an hour and a half after the
sounding of the initial alarm. Chauf-
feur William Buchan and Patrolman
Frank Tonghini were on duty at the
scene, and AL Jones, Lehigh Valley
wharfmaster, was one of the railroad
company representative in attend
ance.
