January 19 by shooting himself at

bridge, is named as. executrix and to
her is left the entire estate including

Woodbridge, which was occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Gyidley up until a short
time ago.
The will mentions the next of kin
as Mary A.. the widow, and Mary

SAFETY FIRST
MEETING HERE
DR.. Mcbride, State Commis-
sioner of Labor, Warns
Against Accidents

Warning that over $4,000 persons
were injured in the state OF New
Jersey last year, 10000 OF whom
suffered severely, DR.. Andrew NC
Bride, state commissioner OF laoo-,
in a stirring plea, urged the large
audience that assembled in the iigh
School auditorium last night to help
in preservation of human lie anu
limb. Accidents. he said, are in
Cured through carelessness.
| I'VE must realize the importance
/ of safeguarding the lives of the
people" DR.. Mcbride said. at is
our earnest wish that the huge nuna-
ber of accidents be cut down ma
| terially The moving picture just
shown you should, and no doubt Will,
| have lasting effect on this large
audience. 1t is encouraging to see
that so many people in this town
| have assembled for this safety first
rally"
DR.. Mcbride pointed out the re-
suits of carelassness, the suffering
| of the man, his wife, his chaldren
and relatives, and all that follows in
] the wake of accidents.
we must band ourselves together
! to decrease the accidents" he said.
I'm many cases lives are lost while
! in a large number of cases the per-
manent disability of the man fol-
! lows. Most of the accidents could
! have been prevented if a little care
! was exercized. Accidents will hap.
pen, but the biggest majority of
I them can be prevented. We should
not rush without taking precautions,
! it is a common occurrence that a
man or woman crosses the street in
| the path of an automobile. And
/ what happens? Misery, unending
| misery that brings sorrow and Bit
/ serness to the home
i "I am hopeful" DIR. Mcbride said,
that you will cooperate with us.
The state department of labor
through meetings and other pro-
cedures is attempting to arouse the
i people to the great waste of life, to
the great waste of earning capacity.
| The accidents can and should be
reduced. They should be reduced
at least fifty per cent. It can be
! accomplished if all of you will do
/ your part"
DR.. Mcbride believed that the
safety movement now in progress is
helping considerably in factories
plants and general safety. He told
of the work done by the department
of labor. declaring that it is an inn
portant department of the state
where the compensation claims OF
the injured are being fully adjusted
The department. DIR. Mcbride said
is also proposing to cut down the oc-
,oupational diseases.
The speaker in conclusion pleaded
that Perth Amboy should do its
share in the safety movement.
The evenings program included
motion pictures depicting fire pre-
vention work and motion pictures
showing a series of accidents
Through carelessness. Music and
other talks helped to make the rally
an enjoyable event.

WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION
URGES SURVEY OF CHANNEL

Mayor Wilson has received from
Russell E. Watson. president of the
Raritan Terminal and Waterways
Association, letter requesting him
and one member of the citys gov
erning body to serve on a special
committee which will get together
in the Perth Amboy city hall on
Tuesday night, February 19, at 5
o'clock. The mayor has accepted
the invitation to serve on this COM
nittee and he will ask one of the
aldermen to be the other member
representing the city government.
According to President Watson the
annual report of Colonel H. c. New
comer, chief of engineers, submits no
estimate for additional funds for the
maintenance of the sRaritan river for
the fiscal year 1925, the effect of this
report being to remove the Raritan
river work from consideration for
the next two years.
Colonel Newcomer states in his
1923 report that maintenance dredg-
Ing in the main channel does not
appear to be greatly needed and that
the need of completing the work
under the project does not appear to
warrant its prosecution at the pres
ent time. The chief of engineers fur
ther states that the width OF the
main channel above Whitehead's old
wharf appears sufficient for its ex-
isting depth to accommodate pres
ent commerce.
At the meeting of the association
held here Monday night it was de-
cided to organize a committee to
consist of the mayor and one mem
Der of the governing body of each
affected municipality to consider the
advisability of having scientific sur
vey made by an experienced water
ways engineer. Such a survey would
show present facilities, both water
and rail, present traffic needs, prob
able future traffic growth and the
facilities required for such growth,
Such survey, 1t is. pointed out
by President Watson, would be a
basis for further activities looking
to the development of Raritan river
and bay or it would definitely show
that the development of the bay or
river is economically unwise at this
time. At any rate, he declares. II
would substitute facts and accurate
estimates for what is at present
largely surlnise.
