! ON. EXPLOSIVES
FreehoIders Will Ask Labor
Dept. to Act Against Brad
ford Storing Picric Acid

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. TO-
County Solicitor Frederick f. Rich
ardson, representing the Board of
Freeholders, will request the State
Department of Labor to start new
proceedings against William J. Brad
ford. of New York City for main
tanning his picric acid at Nixon in
violation of the state laws. The
state Is asked to cnter q criminal
complaint in the case and Mr.. Rich
ardson expects to present it To the
next grand jury. Little of the picric
acid has been removed, Mr.. Rich
ardson contends. pointing out that
the recent inspectors report indica-
ted that many magazines have ex-
cess explosives stored and should
be removed. The county solicitor
says that Bradford has shown little
cooperation. that although his lease
on the Nixon meadows expires next
month. he has hardly made an at
tempt to move the material.
The Raritan Arsenal. Mr.. Rich
ardson stated. Is constantly reducing
the storage of explosives at the gov
ernment plan. as indicated by the
report of Major Casad. The 1900
600 pounds of pyro cotton stored at
the arsenal has been removed. while
the total of black powder. high and

F OR HEARING
4 Suggestions for New Aign-
ment of Shore Traffic Will
Be Received
TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Proposed New Route Would
Run from Morgan to
South of Keyport
TO RELIEVE CONGESTION

The State Highway Commission
Aas set September 18 as the date Tor
the public hearing on the question
OF taking over the shore relief route
between Morgan and Keyport. The
hearing will be held in the South
Amboy city hall, at which time sug-
gestions will be received as to new
alignment for proposed trafhc. Tnls
route is to be built west OF the tracks
of the New York & Long Branch
railroad and to join State Highway
Route No. south of Keyport. With
the proposed route in operation 1t Is
the belief of the commission that
the congestion occurring especially
during the summer months between
Keyport and South Amboy VIII De
eliminated.
elimination of dangerous en-
: croa chments on the highway system
for which a campaign has been in
augurated by the commission began
In earnest today when Attorney Gen
eral Katzenbach was requested TO
institute proceedings against Taylor
Brothers Of Highland Park to re-
move a gas-filling station there ana
against the Township of Union,
Ocean County, for the removal OF
beacon light on Main street, Barne-
gat. 1t is declared that the gas
filling station encroaches on the
highway property west of Duclos
avenue for distance of II feet.
Stipulating that the State Agricul-
tural College at New Brunswick hrst
appropriate $4,000 for improvement
of roads around the institution, the
commission voted to allow $4,000 for
experimental treatment on the sur
face of the thoroughfares. State
Engineer Sloan said he would try
out the use of asphaltic oil of the
slow curing grade as a top dressing
for macadam on a Stag base. This
oil Is being applied to gravel roads
in South Jersey. One Of the sections
to be treated is the road in front OF
the administration building. DR..
Jacob G. Lipman. dean of the Agri-
cultural Station, asserted that the
nechool budget would not allow the
Buse of $4,000 which the highway
commission first directed to be de-
voted to the roads. The agreement
was reached to limit the operation to
the $4,000 expenditure.
Approval of the commission was
granted to the Edison Pioneers for
the placing of a commemorative
marker in honor of Thomas A.
Edison at Menlo Pa. The marker
will be in the form of a stone boul-
der in the shape of an almond. The
stone weighs seven and one-half tons
and is eight feet high. 1t Is now on
South Orange avenue near South
Orange. With bronze tablet to be
placed upon 1t, the stone will desig-
mate the location of Mr.. Edison's
first laboratory at Menlo Park where
he developed the electric light and
other Inventions.
In the absence of Major-General
Hugh L. Scott, who Is touring U. S.
& Indian Reservations, Commissioners
Percy H. Stewart was chosen acting
chairman for the commission.

REGISTRATION
YESTERDAY SET
LOCAL RECORD
Big Increase Over Last Years
Figures Shown in Every
Ward in City
2,714 HAVE REGISTERED
Fifth and First Wards Have
Primary Contests-Look
for Heavy Vote

Yesterdays heavy first day regis
tration gives promise of the largest
vote in the history of Perth Amboy
being cast at the presidential elec-
tion in November. the number of vot-
ers who went to the polls being al
most double that of last years first
registration day.
The total registration yesterday
was 2,714, as compared with 1,469
on the first day last year. an increase
or 1.246. The number to register
In every one of the city's six wards
yesterday was greater than that on
the first registration day in 1928.
The big registration in the fifth
ward yesterday gives evidence Of the
bitter battle which will be fought on
the Democratic ticket for the alder
manic nomination between Alderman
John ]. Clark and William Masso-
pust. The registration in the fifth
ward yesterday was 492 as compared
to 100 last year. when there was no
alderman elected in that ward.
The other city aldermanic nomina-
ton contest is on the Republican
ticket in the first ward and here a
registration almost three times that
or last year was brought out, 521
qualifying to vote yesterday as COM
pared with 1873 last year. There is no
primary contest in the third ward
this year. but 260 voters registered
yesterday. which is almost four times
that of last year.
The fact that the registration in
the three wards where there are no
contests and no aldermen being
elected this year Is larger than last
year is significant of the interest be-
ing taken in this years election and
the desire of every voter to take ad-
vantage of his suffrage privilege. The
registration in the second ward yes
terday was 264. in 1923 1t was 1853:
in the fourth ward it was ABS, COM
pared with 800 last year in the sixth
ward yesterdays registration was
742, 1t being GIL last year.
The country wide effort to get out
every vote at this years general
election is having its effect in this
city, If yesterdays outpouring of
voters is a criterion of what the re-
naming voters will do at the other
two registration days, on primary
day and next month.
Yesterday was the first time the
three new polls in the city have been
used, the total number of voting
places here. now being twenty-three.
There is a new poll in the fourth
ward. making five instead of four,
while in the sixth ward there are
two additional polls, making seven
instead of five. The other wards are
unchanged.

New Engine for Nelson's Plane


4, BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 10-The
work of installing a new motor in
the world flight plane New Orleans.
of which Lieutenant Erick Nelson Is
pilot and which was forced down at
Halethorpe, near here, yesterday,
while enroute from New York to
Washington, was begun this morn
ing.
A stripped timing gear was the
cause of Lieutenant Nelson's mishap,
and after examination by Lieutenant
John Harding, Jr., mechanician, it
was decided to install a new engine
rather than attempt to repair the
old one. The new motor, and a
crew of mechanieians to do the work,
arrived at Halethorpe last night by
motor truck from Boiling Field,
Washington, and early today its in
stallation was begun.
Lieutenant Harding, who went on
to Washington last night for the re-
ception rendered the aviators, also
returned today to help put the plane
in shape to continue the flight to
Seattle.
The plane made perfect landing,
being undamaged, and is expected to
be able to make the jump to Boiling
Field some time today.
