doubt about the advantages attained
by an active and progressive Cham

to 1915.

was formerly Secretary for the or
ganization, gives us the following
summary of the work of that body

evening meeting of the Board OF
Commissioners refusal was votec
to a request by the Volunteers OF
America to hold tag day in this
city. This action of the Commits.
sioners will be appreciated by the
majority of the people. Lambertville
has SO many local causes to which
their contributions must be made
that they do not relish the invas-
ion of outside interests to hold
them up on the streets. There is
also question in most minds as to
what use these contributions are
placed.
A resolution was passed APPROX
ing the issuance of notes in the
sum of $4,000 on account of the
school Improvement appropriations
The following bills were approved
for payment: Walter Roberts, street
surveys, S363S; Luciano Mario. fire

Approval was granted to open

observers nave reported numbers
of hair-breadth escapes at tn,
Bridge street crossing, and this pa
per has called attention to tnt
matter from time to time. And il
the Pennsylvania Railroad really
wants to serve the public as they
claim on the propaganda they have
put out to eliminate crossing acct
dents, they should readily install
these crossing gates.
BRIDGE STREET CROSSING
OFTEN BLOCKED
But what is more serious, in view
of the railroads peremptory demand
for the elimination of the Coryel
street bridge, is the fact that the
Bridge street crossing al the depot
is often blocked as long as an houi
at a time. Sometimes the trains
extend beyond both crossings, but
when only one crossing is blocked il
at least leaves an outlet over one OF
the OJneT crossings.
On May 7th the Bridge street
crossing was blocked for one houl
and twenty-seven minutes when a
local train down was switching cars
in the yard. The engine of this
train is always disconnected while
the switching is done, and the train
is left standing over the crossing
with fragrant disregard of traffic
But on this particular evening a
breakdown, which occurred after
the engine had been disconnected
left the cars standing until repairs
could be made.
Had it not been for the Coryel
street bridge at that time there
would have been cars piled up or
every road around Lambertville anc
New Hope. And yet these public.
be-damned- minded" railroad officials
want to eliminate the Coryell street
bridget
Mayor Moonan protested in writ
| ing against the above blockade Of
the crossing. and pointed out that
when these trains have to stand sc
long that they could at least be
broken and LEFT open over tho
crossing. In reply, Mr. CLARK writes
another suave letter, thanking tho
Mayor for calling our attention t.
the blocking of Bridge street cross
ing, and assure you that we vii
investigate the matter 1T once anC
take steps to prevent a recurTance.
But a recurrence occurred the very
next day! And every evening this
train stands across the crossing
while the engine switches cars in the
yard, and the actions of the rail.
road officials speak more loudly thar
words, "The public de damned"
However, the public has stood
just about as much as they car
countenance. The complaints and OBJ
jections they are making are GO
ing to come to head pretty soon,
and when they do the Pennsylvania
Railroad is going to find that their
autocratic and arrogant attitude has
brought a bundle of trouble down
on their heads like ton of brick.
1t is pointed out that in Trenton
when a drill train blocks crossing
more than five minutes, the crew is
taken from the train and arrested.
n other gases crews are summon
ID for trial and fined. And while
Lambertville has no local ordinance
under which to act, there is a State
aw governing the violation, and if
Ill other efforts fail, individual tx
payers in Lambertville are threaten
ng to swear out warrants them
selves and see that they are exc

in POLICE COURT
Elmer W. Smith, Magistrate

As result of social affair Civ
en- by Joseph Baczynski, of West
Amwell Township, who recently pur-
chased farm there and invited
his neighbors, of Polish descent, to
celebrate his moving in, fracas
occurred which ended in police court.
Charges of assault and assault and
battery were made against John
Sboy, Joseph Stoy, Joseph Golem-
hiewski and Stanley Tydryszeski, by
| Jacob Marut, of Hopewell Township,
and Andrew Czobek, of Trenton.
Courier charges were made by John
Stoy against Andrew Czobek and

The hearing took up the biggest
part of Tuesday afternoon, and af-
ter sitting through lot of testi-
mony the justice held John Stoy,
Andrew Czobek and Jacob Marut
under three hundred dollars bail
each for the grand jury. 1t seems
the trouble started between John
Stoy criticizing Czobek on the read
ing matter contained in Czobek's pa
per published in the Polish language
which offended Czobek and resulted
in several of the guests taking part
in the melee. Others against whom
complaints were made were rcleas-
ed without furnishing bond Arrests
were made by Constables Morse and
Rosso.
Albert Gomerdinger, Of this City,
was arrested Monday evening on
complaint of James +. Sands for
larceny Of an automobile tire from

he bought the tire from friend
in Trenton, but Sands identified the
tire as belonging to him by rim
cut, name and general appearance.
Clarence Naylor, the local vulcanizer
and tire dealer, ching called to the
stand, identified the tire as one
he had done repair work on and
had sold to Sands. Sands also iden-
tilted the tube in the tire as his and
patch made by himself over
break. A peculiar part of the af
fair was that the tire was placed
on straight rim although II wac
clincher tire. The tire was re-
covered from Worthington's Garage,
of New Hope, by Constable Rosso,
it being on the car when it was
sold by Gomerdinger to the gar
age. Arrest by Constable Rosso De-
