SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. A black
eye which Motorcycle Officer Russell
Sprague, of the Sayrev.lle police de-
partment Is carrying promises at this
time to result in a shakeup of the
police department. Officer Sprague,
in an interview with an Evening
News representative at his home In
Bay View Manor, said the affl.ction
was caused by two punches admin
istered by Chief of Police Gross, be-
cause he warned some of the chiefs
friends that no one is allowed to do
excessive speeding in the borough
streets. The chief, according to OFF,
Ger Sprague, objected to the warning
administered to his friends and the
blows which resulted from the action
of the officer followed an argument
of about five minutes duration and
while Officer Sprague was sitting
down and unable to defend himself
the officer claims.
Following the punches, 1t is said,
Chief Gross was arrested and ar
raigned before Mayor Hartman. The
chief, 1t Is understood. Is now out
under bond According to rumors
an effort is being made to hush tie
matter up. The Evening News to-
day endeavored to locate both Mayor
Hartman and Chief Gross but was
unable to do so. Although the affair
occurred last Wednesday night. the
matter did not become public until
yesterday.
Officer Sprague Is noted as very
strict patrolman and favors with
him are few. He has been quoted as
saying, "Not even my brother can
get by IL he breaks the law" 1t Is
believed tl.at by adhering to his
golden rule the trouble of last
Wednesday night started.
According to Officer Sprague the
friend of the chief on several occa-
sions annoyed him with excessive
speeding through Sayreville. Officer
Sprague says he issued warnings but
was only rebuked for doing so. He
added that the affair of Wednesday
night was the climax to the VI.
ments over his actions toward speed
ers.
Officer Sprague says he was In a
chair when the blows were admin
istered by Chief Gross and 1t was
impossible for him to change his
position quick enough to escape

BY ALDERMEN
ON NfAYETTES ST.
Ordinance for Extending the
Street Will Be Finally
Passed Tonight
PAVING TO COME NEXT
Negotiations to Be Pushed
for Building Bridge Over
Railroad Tracks
PAVING TO COME NEXT

One of the most important ordi-
nances. scheduled for it's second and
third reading and final adoption at
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men tonight, is that authorizing the
extending of Fayette street west to
the city line. This is only the be-
ginning of a long list of improves
ments scheduled to take place IN
Fayette street and which includes the
proposed bridge over the Centrai
railroad tracks, thus connecting the
two sections of the street which now
come to dead end on both the east
and west sides of the tracks.
Fayette street, according to pres
ent plans promises to become one
of the most important streets of the
city. due mainly to it's location with
the approach to the new aXiictpry.
bridge and the ferry operating across
the Staten Island Sound between this
city an dTottenville.
Under the plans as now mapped
out for this city it will become the
Amain highway for motorists using
tthe Staten Isand route and the Vic
tory bridge in order to reach the
sea shore resorts in South Jersey.
Following it's extension the next
move will probably be to pave that
section which is still unpaved and
improve the pavement which was put
down on certain sections of the street
some years ago.
The making of new thoroughfare
of Fayette street, rests, however,
with the construction of a bridge
over the Central railroad tracks in
order to connect the present dead
ends. Negotiate have already
been started between th~ engineering
department of the railroad and the
City Plan Commission and Board G.
Aldermen for this Improvement.
One conference has already been
held in the railroad office and
others are pending. The city ad-
ministration has informed the en-
gineering department sf the railroad
that the bridge must be provided
for in the grade crossing ellmina-
tionN plans and that the city stands
ready to aid the construction IT the
bridge with the railroad company.
along peaceful lines, but will force
the matter If necessary.
\ 1t is recognized by railroad en-
sineers that 1t will be no easy task
: to provide a bridge to connect the
dead ends of this street, because OF
the swith leading into the C. NJ.
Paterson & Company coal yards and
into the lumber yard of the Donnell
Lumber Company. The. City Plan
Commission has already submitted
a plan as divised BY tie commission
for this improvement and the rail
road engineers have taken this plan
under consideration. A report on
this plan is expected from the en-
gineers within the course of few
