Speeding of Buses Must
Stop, He Declares

Max Gibian, the local representa-
tive of the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment, today declared that Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles William l..
Dill has informed him that the over
loading of auto buses operating be-
tween this city and nearby munich

conveyances must stop at once. Mr..
Gibian declares that he has informed
the police of all the municipalities
to arrest the driver of any bus which
Is overloaded or who Is running his
machine at a greater speed than the
law allows.
Mr.. Gibian says the license of the
buses calls for so many people being
carried ana when more than this
numbe~ has been crowded into a
vehicle the conveyance becomes hn-
safe for public travel. The fine for
overlooking buses ranges from 800
to $3.50 and this law will be strictly

drivers who are caught speeding will
be liable to have their licenses re-

According to Abraham Jelin,
member of the State Highway Com

run parallel with the present New
York and Long Branch railroad
tracks,. over the Cheesquake creek
and across the meadows at Morgan
joining the present shore route JUS
outside of Keyport.
This new project Is expected to
be the big relief in shore traffic In
the next few years. The new route
will cut through in almost straight
line from South Amboy, thereby
doing away with several dangerous
curves and also shortening the route
4 bit.
Ar present traffic along the shore
route is a terrible mess. The main
holdup seems to be between this city
and Keyport, according to automo-
bilists. After leaving Keyport the
line of cars seems 10 move along
nicely to the shore. and after leaV-
ing this city, the road up state Is
pretty we'll cleared.
1t is not expected that the road
will b~ completed for sometime. but
no matter when it is finished, auto
mobilists are satisfied that 1t Will
certainly be a great relief. Work is
expected to start some time before
he cold weather.
The Grade Crossing
Within another month. the stare
highway will start work on building
new stretch of road through Nor
gan Heights. in order to eliminate
me grade crossing. which has beer
me of the main reasons for the DIG
leup in traffic through this section
1t Morgan.
Tt Is understood that at the pres
emf time the railroad company
Is receiving bids for the erection o.
q bridge across the tracks. Abra'
ham Jelin, of the state highway
commission, announces that as soor
no work is begun on the span, the
commission will commence work or
he approaches.
This new route will begin at the
Green Acre Tea Room and, foliowinf
the Jersey Central Traction Com
nany trolley route through Morgan
Heights. will cross the tracks at tht
spot where the trolley trestle Tor
merly stood and then Join the shore
~oad again at the present bridge ovel

stating where he stood.
The mayors statement said that
many of the principles of Mr.. Davis

CAUSES
ROAD DET0UR
At South Amboy-This Sec
ton of State Flooded by
Long Heavy Rains

SOUTH AMBOY. Aug. 1.-THE
heavy rain early this morning did
considerable damage in this city,
especially along Broadway where
several business places were washed
out by the water that covered the
sidewalks.
Street Commissioner John Con-
nors was at work at an early hour
this morning with a squad OF men
clearing up the sand that had washe d
from the different streets. From
John street to David street the sand
and water was on a level with the
sidewalks, and it was necessary to
dig paths for pedestrians to use in
crossing streets.
AT the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge on the state road. the rain
and sand was washed down from
Stevensdale, and several trucks and
cars, which stopped beneath the
bridge for protection against the
storm, were trapped in piles of sand
over their axles. This made it nec-
essary for traffic from this city and
Perth Amboy to use the detour
around the Deep Cut bridge and
through Mechanicsville.

been perfect, Leask would have been out on forced run. But being wide, the catcher in reaching for the ball drew his foot off the base. So that the umpire properly called the run her "safe"
 At once, all the Ketchikan rooters were up in protest. They seemed to blame the umpire because the catch CT did not have his foot on the base They said the decision was rotten, instead of so describing the throw. The bad thing about this business was that the Ketchikan team quit. Baseball is but a game after all However, it is also like life, and no matter how rotten the decision may seem to you, good sportsman will not quit; for after all, the throw may have been rotten, and through nc fault of yours, you may have pull ed your foot off the bag.
 Walter Sharp was just below me, and this time he joined with the rooters and yelled "rotten" Perhaps 1t was no more rotten than the treatment accorded Collier, when the same Walter Sharp yelled with shin ing eyes, "Fine."

THE JUNEAU EMPIRE

People who read the Juneau Elm pire, the attacks therein on our Delegate Dan Sutherland, and other Republicans, should remember always that the Empire is Democratic sheet, that the editor is a southern born Democrat and is one of the choices of the Democratics to at tend the National Convention of that party
 John w. Troy's business is to de- stroy the Republican party. This he steadily strives to do by working with men who are Democrats at heart but Republicans by name.
 John Troy came to power through the instrumentality of Governor Strong, and as soon as Troy got his chance to kick his benefactor out, he did so. Since those days the Demo- Republican machine has been hold- ing the nipple to Troy's lips and the Democratic editor is waxing fat. This has gone on now for many years. The real animus back of the attacks on the so-called Paul ticket in the primaries is that this group of Republicans are pledged to stop this plunder of the public treasury.
 During the entire period of con trol of this bunch, the laboring men and fishermen have suffered by treachery and misrepresentation. It is time for the people to rule them selves.
