NORRIS CANAL
HEARING DEC. 8
Lehigh Valley Brings Action
for Acquisition of Out
standing Stock

TRENTON, Nov. 13:-At the con-
clusion of preliminary argument in
proceedings brought by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company for the ac-
QUESTION of outstanding minority
stock of the Morris canal, the aban-
donment of which was voted by the
legislature. Supreme Court Justice
Trenchard today fixed December
for further hearing and the tender
by counsel of suggestions as to ap-
pointees to a proposed commission
of appraisers.
Eight stockholders whose interests
total sixty-five shares are parties to
the action which centers about the
question of the stocks value. Offers
made by the Lehigh Valley railroad,
the figure was not disclosed, are said
to have been regarded by the holders
as inadequate.
Indications are that the proposed
commission OF three members will
probably comprise lawyer, bank
er and an expert in real estate
values. The compensation of the
members will be fixed by the court
and paid by the railroad company.

B0RAH URGES
EXTRA SESSION
Farm and Railroad Measures
As Well As World Court
Proposal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-An
extra session of the new congress
soon after next March 4, was urged
today by Senator BoIah, Republican,
of Idaho, who declared he thought
farm and railroad measures as well
as the world court proposal and per-
haps tax relief should be taken up
at that time.
The Idaho senator voiced his opin-
ion after a call on President Coolidge
but said the legislative situation was
not discussed at their conference.
Administration officials close to the
President indicated yesterday that
he had no present plan for the call
ing of a special session.
Senator Borah believes that little
in the way of general legislation will
be accomplished at the coming short
session which is to be devoted largely
to work on appropriations. He re-
CARDS a delay until the regular meet
ing of the new congress in December
of next year as unnecessary and un-
warranted.
As a result of the death of Senator
Lodge, Mr.. Borah is in line for chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, which is charged with chief re-
sponsibility for action on the world
court proposal. He said today he
had no specific plan for such action.
but though the question should be
brought up and disposed of one way
or another.
An opinion contrary to that of Mr..
Borah was expressed by Representa-
tive Burton, Republican, Ohio, an
other White House caller, who said
he saw no necessity for an extra ses-
sion and believed that in addition
to the appropriation bills such farm
measures as are necessary can be
passed at the short session. Mr..
Burton discussed this question briefly
with the president.

Practically 100 Per Cent. of
Those Registered Voted
on General Election Day
MANY AFFIDAVITS USED
Third Ward Most Congested
First Poll in Fifth Is
Highest in the City

That Perth Amboy voters respond
ed to the appeal to go to the polls
AMI vote last week is proven by the
official figures given out by City
Clerk Philip Costello which shows
that almost $4,000 persons voted in
this city. The actual number was
eight under this amount, 1892.
There were 1925 registered on
the three registration days and this
total number OF eligible voters was
boosted to more than $4,000 as the
result of registrations secured by
afiiGavit of those VINO were i'll or out
of tire city on registration days. The
Official figures thus show that the
number of actual vo,ers exceeded by
Ice the number of persons who went
to the polls to register.
The election law specifies that a
new voting district shall be estab-
lished whenever more than 600 votes
are cast in any one district at the
general election. Seven polls had
more than 900 voters last week
which means that several new polls
will be added as a result of redis-
tricting before next election. 1t is
expected that at least five new polls
will be established.
The largest vote in the city was
cast in the first poll of the fifth
ward where 76S votes We're reported.
This will mean that the fifth ward
of the future will have three polls in
stead of two.
Both polls of the third ward had
more than 900 voters and a redis-
trict.ng will result in at least one
new poll in that ward. The first
pool had 664 voters and the second
713.
Two of the polls in the first ward
passed the 600 mark, there being
SAB voters in the second poll and 609
in the third poll. The second ward
also had one poll just over the limit,
COL votes being cast in the first dis
trist of this ward. The first poll of
the sixth ward had 671 votes cast
in 1t.
Perth Amboy has twenty-three
polling districts this year. 1t will
likely have at least twenty-e eight
polls next year with possibility of
as many as thirty. This will mean
a relocation of district lines and the
appointment of at least twenty more
election clerks. At the same time it
will reduce the number of votes han
died by these crowded polls and
should result in quicker returns.

CITY'S TREMENDOUS VOTE
MEANS five new DISTRICTS
Promise OF Rain Is
Only Hope OF Hunters
No Other Immediate Hope of
Lifting the Ban in
This State

TRENTON, Nov. 13.-Weather re-
ports indicating rain tomorrow in
the eastern states hold the only i'm
mediate hope for lifting of the hunt
ing ban under which New Jersey
gunners are now fretting. State Off
cials see no chance of the suspension
order being lifted today.
Major Leonidas Coyle. state fire
warden, was in South Jersey today
and could not be reached for a state
ment on the situation, but it was said
by William Lindsay. the deputy war
den. that the condition of the wood
lands was still considered as too dan
gerous to permit the invasion of an
army of huntsmen.
Officials OF the fish and game COM
mission who ordered the ban on
cunning following a proclamation
by Governor Silzer. were inclined
to view the m after in a similar light.
Any action taken by the commits
sion toward removal of the restric-
ton either wholly or in part. must
be preceded by assurance from the
fire warden that the danger of con-
f1agraticn due to the tinder-dry con-
dition of the forests and underbrush
has abated.
While the majority of sportsmen
are accepting the curtailment of
their privileges in silence. more than
few are becoming impatient. par
ticularlv in view of the action of
Pennsylvania authorities in lifting
the ban in that state. To date. how
ever. onlv one gunner has applied to
the fish and game commission for
refund of his license money. The
attitude to be assumed towards such
requests will probably be discussed
at the meeting of the commission
