WATERS HAS
NEW ATTACK
Answers Wilson in Address
Given at City Demo-
cratic. Club

Declaring that he VIII attend the
meetings of the council and fight for
his requests and not suggest this or
that and also denying the claim on
the part of Mayor william c. Will
son, that he did not support the last
two Democratic candidates for
mayor. Albert G.. Waters, Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, stirred
the Democratic meeting to applause
which was held last night in the
headquarters in Madison avenue.
Harry s. Medinets, was also a
speaker at this meeting and de-
clared that the use of his name
by Republicans to aid in their
campaign was without his consent
and knowledge.
Mr.. Waters said as follows:
l am going TO review briefly this
evening a number of necessary i'm
provements which 1 feel our city
should have with as little delay as
possible in order that we prepare the
way for bigger and better Perth
Amboy.
have already expressed my views
in favor of the Fayette street exten-
sion. and l am glad to say that this
work will soon be under way.
Few people at this end of our city
realize the hardship endured by the
people at the northern end of the
city on account of the absence of a
bridge or tunnell connecting two
thickly populated sections OF Perth
Amhoy which are now divided by a
dangerous railroad. Lives are en-
dangered daily. and this condition is
a great drawback. to the proper
business and residential development
OF that section. We must give this
project our immediate considera-
ton.
| believe more money should be
appropriated each year for park de-
yelopment We have numerous park
sites now owned by the city, but
very little is being done TO devolop
them. One or two parks are being
taken care of in good shape, but
all our park sites should be devel-
oped at once. Let our people enjoy
the beauty of the parks while they
are awaiting their turn for other
improvements.
The development OF the water
front is also matter Of great con-
Germ to our city. and this work
should be started at once.
Our merchants are asking for
White Ways" I believe white
Ways' are great stimuiants for busl-
ness. sc | say our merchants should
be ENCOURAGED. for after all, any
thing that is done to encourage busi-
ness is an investment. and an in
vestment of this nature quickly
reflects a benefit in some way or
other to everv person in our city.
We must also continue to give our
people sewers. water. light and
street pa ents. This all means
health. comfort and development.
We need more police protection.
Some parts OF the city are without
any. and there is great dissatisfac-
tton among our people regarding
this.
I have heard considerable COM
plant about interference with radio
reception throughout the city. I am
told good part of this interfer-
ence comes from our municipal
lighting plant on account of the
grounding of wires on trees. Know
ing that a great number of people
in our city are being entertained by
radio, / do believe this Interference
can be- corrected with but little
trouble.
Now the only wav that all this
work can be accomplished is by CO.
operation OF me mayor. board of al
dermen. apd the people. We need a
good lively Chamber of Commerce
also to carry on their great work.
