WANT COURT RULING
IN VETERANS BUREAU CASE

WASHINGTON. Sept. IT. The
supreme court has been asked to de-
eide how far the director of the
United States Veterans Bureau can
go in prescribing what shall consti-
tute total disability and when total
disability shall be deemed permanent
in the matter of functions for former
service men.
Declaring that his case presented
the first controversy relating to the
right to claimants to benefits under
the war risk insurance act to reach
the federal courts, De Witt T. Law
who had his left arm and a part of
his left leg shot away in the war,
has petitioned the court to review
the decision of the ninth circuit court
of appeals, which he insisted vitiated
the terms of the contracts under
which former service men had taken
out war risk insurance.
He asserted that in his and in nu-
merous other cases the bureau had
disregarded the terms under which
those carrying war risk insurance
were entitled to total disability rat
ing and had imposed new conditions.
The lower federal courts were in err
ror he contended in holding that the
terms OF insurance policies could be
changed by regulations issued by the
director of the Veterans Bureau af-
ter the policies had taken effect.

TRAFFIC COURT Is URGED
FOR CITY OF PERTH AMBOY

TRENTON. Sept. liberation of
special municipal traffic courts for
second-class cities. those with not
less than 10000 and not more than
10000 population, Is the aim of po-
lice judges who are now required TO
dispose of motor vehicle complaints
along with criminal cases.
State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
William l.. Dill is favorable to the
plan, according to police judges, who
are emphasizing the overcrowded
condition of their tribunals. Newark
and Jersey City. the first-class cities
in New Jersey, have special triffic
courts.
Among the second-class popula-
cities which would have traffic
courts. under the plan proposed. are;
Paterson, Camden, Elizabeth, Bay
onne, Passaic, Perth Amboy. New
Brunswick, Plainfield. Clifton, Gar
field. Brideton and Millville.
The program contemplates the in
PRODUCTION of bill in the legislature
in January next. The municipal au-
thorities would undoubtedly have the
power to name the traffic court
judges, the same as they now appoint
police court presiding officers.

NEW COMPLAINT 7
AGAINST DUMPS
. FORHEA[THBD
Conditions at Foot of Sayre
Avenue Not Newspaper
Talk" Residents Say
TELL OF BAD 0DORS
Impossible to Sleep, Claim
To Act with the Board
of Aldermen
TELL OF BAD 0D0RS

That the condition of the dumps
at the foot of Sayre avenue, is not
newspaper talk" was clearly
brought out last night by delega-
tion from the sixth ward that ap-
peared before the board of health at
its regular meeting. The delegation
consisted of Fritz Bernan, Mes Deni-
son. Mr.. Hanson and Mr.. Ryan.
Mr.. Bernan, who was the first to
address the board, said that condi-
tions at the dumps were just as bad
now as ever. He pointed out that
at times the sickening odors eman-
ating from the piles of rubbish is
so bad that its is impossible to sleep
in that neighborhood with open win
dows.
He said that the situation was not
being remedied in any way and
asked that the health board take
some action to relieve the residen.S
in that section of the sixth ward. Mr..
Bernan added that the condition of
the dumps was not newspaper talk"
Mr.. Hanson, Mes Denison and MIR,
Ryan. the other members of the
delegation, talked along the same
lines, and told the board that the
reason so many people are moving
from the sixth ward is because of
the unbearable conditions of the
dumps.
A short discussion of the board
followed, in which Health officer DR..
Charles S. Thompson, explained to
the members that the dump ques-
tion in this city would soon become
a big problem, the same as in other
cities. He pointed out that some
system should be devised to do away
with the garbage, and told how an
incinerator, a furnace used to burn
refuse. is working successfully In
many cities.
Upon motion, President John ].
Buckley ordered the secretary to
confer with Alderman Thomas Pat
ten. chairman of the street commit
tee. in order to have the situation
relieved. 1t was suggested last night
that the dumps could be made an
asset to the city by using a good part
of the debris for the purpose of Hing
in the meadow land in different parts
of the city, and also serve as fill for
the property owned by the city,
which Is q present under water.
Another way of making the dumps
pay, it was said. would be to have
the people cooperate. The house,
wives could. with very little trouble,
separate the garbage from old papers
and put them out in the streets for a
special collection. These could be
collected and when bound together
and sold would bring in considerable
revenue.

WIDENING
ROAD; RAILWAY
To MONMOUTH
State Highway Commission
Wants Federal Aid in
This Big Project
WOULD BE 40 Fl. WIDE
Effects Woodbridge and Other
PIaceS-So. Amboy Hear
ing 8 P. M. Tomorrow

TRENTON, Sept. 17.-Prelimin-
ary steps to obtain federal aid for
widening the paved section of Route
No. from Railway to Keyport
were taken in a resolution adopted
by the State Highway Commission
at it's meeting yesterday afternoon.
1t is the intention to have a paved
road of forty feet in width, doubling
the capacity of the thoroughfare.
The improvement will effect four
teen miles of route in Union. Mid
dlesex and Monmouth counties. The
cost has been estimated at $3,028,-
All, and the work will be extended
over period of several years. The
section of road to be altered first
will represent an expenditure of
$1,597,220. The definite lines to be
followed in the reconstruction will
be determined upon the completion
of alternate surveys by the engin-
eers.
The widening of the route has
been made imperative by the con-
gestion of vehicles travelling to the
seashore resorts from northern New
Jersey, New York and adjoining
states. The new $4,000,000 bridge
being constructed by the State High
way Commission over the Raritan
river between Perth Amboy and
South Amboy will be a link in the
route.
South Amboy Hearing
Expressing the belief that the
hearing scheduled for tomorrow af-
ternoon at the South Amboy city hall
on proposed alternate lines for
route 4, between Morgan and Key
port, would enable more residents of
outlying sections to attend the ses-
sion than would be possible at an
evening meeting, the commission de-
cided to meet at o'clock. They will
first travel over the proposed roads
and have requested all those inter-
ested in the project to submit
sketches for suggestions at the pub
lie gathering.

for suggestions as to what should be

endeavor to find out where the
trouble Is.
Others who took part in the dis
cussion were Edward Mccormick
