RESOLUTION ON
FAYETTESTREET
Passed by Board of Aldermen
Requesting Utility Board
to Erect Bridge

A resolution was prepared at the
committee meeting of the Board ,of
Aldermen last night, requesting the
Public Utility Commission to grant
permission for the bridge the city
proposes to erect over the tracks of
the Central railroad at Fayette
street, thus connecting the two dead
ends of this thoroughfare and giving
the city an additional street leading
directly from Convery place to the
Staten Island Sound.
A resolution of this kind must be
sent to the Public Utility Commis-
sion, requesting permission for the
bridge and hearing on the matter,
even in view of the fact that both
the city and the railroad have agreed
that such a structure can be con-
structed. The reason the Public Util-
ity must be taken into the matter
is because of the two tracks which
will be crossed at grade, although
these tracks are but switches leading
into the yards of the C. M. Peterson
& Co., Inc, and the .Donnell Lumber
Company. If it were not for these
switches the bridge could be con-
structed over the main line tracks
of the railroad without any action on
the part of the commission.

GIVE $4,000
FOR LIBRARY
Aldermen Promise Delegation
This at Committee Meet
ing Last Night
AT NEW SCHOOL NO. II
The Historical Society Wants
$1,000 to Fix Up the
kearny Homestead Here
AT NEW SCHOOL NO. II

A sum of $4,000 will be appropri-
ated by the Board of Aldermen to
equip the branch of the Public
Library which is to be situated In
the new building of School No. IL.
This promise was made by the Board
of Aldermen at their committee ses-
sion last night to delegation of ten
persons, including members of the
library board and Western Improve
ment Asso ciatfon.
The delegation pointed out to the
board that the room to be used for
the library had been included in the
plans of the new school and Is now
ready for use. Although the Library
Board is in position to keep the
branch in operation once 1t Is
equipped, 1t was found necessary to
seek aid of the aldermen IN order to
put in the furniture and the supply
of books. 1t was pointed out that
the cost of equipping the branch
would run in the neighborhood of
$4,000 and the aldermen made 1t
clear to the delegation that the re-
quest will be granted as soon as the
matter could be taken up with City
Attorney David T. Wilentz, and ar
rangements made for the proper way
of financing the project.
A request was received from the
Perth Amboy Historical Society, for
$4,000 to complete the remodeling
of the old Kearny homestead as a
historical museum. There is still
considerable carpenter, painting and
plumbing work to be done and 1t Is
estimated that it will take the above
amount to complete the work. 1t
Is pointed out that after the house
had been put in condition, the dues
from the association members will
provide enough revenue to run 1t.
The aldermen declared they would
take the matter under consideration
and that some action would prob
ably be taken in the near future.
The question of the whiteways,
which were requested for various
sections of the city at the last reg
alar meeting was taken up and dis
eussed at length, and 1t was decided
to obtain additional detailed infor-
nation before action Is taken. The
matter may. however, be taken up
officially by the aldermen at their
regular meeting on Monday night.

Albert G. Waters
1. There is a positive necessity
for a street across the railroad
tracks In the northern section of
the city to connect the Industrial
district east of the tracks with the
residential district west of the
tracks. This would bring the en-
ploye near sr to his work. would i'm
prove facilities for tradesmen. would
increase property values. and would
avoid the danger to the lives of the
many people now crossing the
tracks. Therefore. If elected, shall
continue to urge this Improvement.
2. The opening of Fayette street
across the C. r. r. tracks to Convery
place Is to be accomplished in two
phases: First, continuation of Fay
cite street from its present westerly
terminus to Convery place. An ap-
preparation of $4,000 was author
lied for this purpose by the Board
of Aldermen several months ago, and
and commissioners of improvements
are arranging for the acquisition of
the necessary private property. Sec
ond, establishment of railroad
crossing over the C. r. r. tracks at
Fayette street. With reference to
this part of the work negotia tions
for the past year have been success
full. I am informed the council Is
now in position to apply to the
utility board for permission to es-
tablish this crossing. and resolu-
ton for that purpose will be intro
duced Monday night.
3. During my last term as alder
man of the second ward, urged the
development of the Kennedale Park
section. including the opening and
widening of Cleveland avenue. If
Perth Amboy IS to grow, 1t must be
in that direction. The State High
way Commission recently informed
me that it had sent its representa-
tive here to execute contracts with
all owners along Cleveland avenue,
whose property is needed for this
Improvement. I am assured by the
State Highway Board that Cleveland
avenue Is to be a s-ate highway.
4. I am in thorough accord with
the plans of the City Plan Commits
sion with reference to the develop
ment of a park along the water
front. Its benefits and advantages
are obvious. There can be no diff
ference of opinion as to this pro-
ject.
