REMONSTRANCE NOT
SUFFICIENT TO STOP
CITY IMPROVEMENT
Aldermen Find That out of 144 Property Owners Along IVashingtoi
Street only Sixty-two Oppose Paving the Thoroughfare witt
Vitrified Brick—Remonstrance, when Presented had over Nmet\
Signers, but The List was Found To be Padded.
Washington street paving is prac
tically an accomplished fact as far as
the citizens have to do with the
matter. The petitions and remon
strances have been thoroughly ex
amined and the remonstrances have
been found wanting. This was deter
mined when the aldermen held their
committee meetings last night. It is
probable that some action toward get
ting the work started will be taken at
the council meeting Monday night.
Several weeks ago, a remonstrance, ,
numerously signed, was presented to
the aldermen ; at the same time four
citizens requested their names re
moved. Since that time the Street
Committees, to whom was referred
the matter, has been examining the
matter thoroughly. It was reported
at the last council meeting that many
names were on the remonstrance
which had no right to be there and
the committee asked for more time to
weed out. This was completed last
uiK111• vui ui uiuDu.y - tuut —
it was found that only sixty-two had
y'a right to sign. As the total number
of property holders along Washington
street is 144, it leaves those in favor
of improvement in the majority.
Ii has been a long fight for the pave
ment. There has been strong opposi
tion and property owners have been
induced to sign various petitions and
remonstrances until some hardly knew
where they were. The progressive
element want to make Washington
street an important thoroughfare and
to further this desire wanted a vitri
fied brick pavement laid from Staten
Island sound to New Brunswick ave
nue. It now looks /is though this
would be accompH/hed.
The.rj^is reason to believe tnat the
auditor who will be named by Justice
Fort to investigate the financial re
ports of the county, will be an out-of
town man and that he will be a law
yer and not an accountant, as at first
understood.
Justice Fort has selected a man, he
says, but he does not want to publicly
name him until he is satisfied that
the man will accept.

Central Railroad Engineer De
dares for Overhead
Bridge.
The Committee of the Board o
Aldermen, who went to New Tori
yesterday to confer with the official
of the Raritan and North Shore Rail
road concerning the bridge over thei
track where the new Raritan rive
bridge lands, returned yesterday after
noon and expressed satisfaction as h
thn Knanlf fVia mooti n cr Tho rail
road officials promised to take th
matter up at once.
As told yesterday, in the party wer
Aldermen Toft, Donovan and Rnnyoi
and Uity Attorney Hommann. The;
saw the engineer of the Central rail
road, which company controls th
branch in question. It was admittei
that an overhead crossing was th
proper thing and the cost will have b
be ascertained. It is pointed out tha
the approach will have to be stronge
than an ordinary structure because
without a doubt, a trolley line wil
cross it. Tne officials will confe

FROM HERE?
The following despatch, publishei
in the Newark Evening News las
night, may have a great deal of mean
ing for Perth Amboy in the future:
“Austin, Tex.,Sept. 18.—It is report
ed in Mexioo mining circles that th
American Smelting & Refining Com
pany is preparing to greatly diminisl
its operations in the Unitea States
and that it will expand its busines
in Mexico. It is pianned to establis;
two additional large smelters in tha
country, and to invest several millioi
dollars in mines. The erection of
large refinery in Mexico is oontem
plated. At present the bullion pro
duced in Mexico is refined at Pertl
Amboy. ’’
Little could be learned about th
matter m this city today. The Am
erican Smelting and Refining Compaq
has recently built large additions t
their plant here and made great im
provements. It hardly seems possibl
this would have been done had the
contemplated moving very soon. Th

Citizens were made very fast in
Perth Amboy yesterday. County
Clerk Conger was here and issued 150
first naturalization papers to foreign
ers while 105 men took out their seo
ond papers, making them full fledged
voters. It was an interesting proceed
f ing and one that had its amusing side.
The applicants began to arrive about
, 4 o’clook yesterday afternoon and they
continued in a steady stream until 10
r o’clock last night. It was around 8
r o’clock when the rush was on. Some
of the faces made interesting studies.
, It Was evident that many of them did
not realize the seriousness of the step
, they were about taking, while others
wore a thoughtful look and showed
5 plainly that they fully understood
, that they were about to renounce their
7 allegiance to their former ruler and
accept the United States as their
5 home. It was a serious moment, but
I they went through it all without
5 flinching. As a result Middlesex
j county has 105 more voters.

Captain Reports a Hard Run
from Florida-Weathered the
Gale on Wednesday.
The big steamship Dorothy, Captain
McDonald, which is now unloading
Dhosphate rock at Carteret, and is just
in from Florida, ran full tilt into the
heavy storm Wednesday and the crew
had ail they could do to keep her
afloat.
When the Dorothy left Florida the
storm had not yet struck there. The
vessel was several days out when the
storm commenced. The weather was
bad all along but on Wednesday morn
ing the lookout noticed what appear
ed to be a big cloud, heavy and black.
It was seen that a heavy blow was
coming and the hatches were made
fast.
When the sea struck, the captain
and first officer were a the bridge
and they had all they could do to
hold on. Most of the crew were on
deck and the steamship rode the gale
safely. She appears none the worse
for her experience.
The corner stone of St. Mai*»’s new
Roman Catholic church, at Mek^anic
and Center streets, will be laid\to
morrow by Bishop McFaul, of Treihv.
ton, in the presence of the congrega
tion and a number of catholic societies.
All this week the masons have been
working to get everything in order
for the great event and they have
succeeded admirably.
The bishop, it is expected, will
arrive in this city tomorrow on the 11
o'clock train over the Central railroad
from ;Trenton. If he does the catholic
societies will meet him, otherwise the
societies will march up Smith street
to the Central depot, then counter
march to State street to Buckingham
avenue to High and up High to Center
street where they march to the church
and disband. Besides the bishop there
will* be about twenty-three visiting
priests from New Jersey and New
York.
