N10 V V BRUNSWICK, Feb. G.-~ Failure to have Amboy avenue in l'erth Amboy repaved is entirely due to the fata that the Hoard of Aider men in that city has not started a movement to have the paving dune. This statement was made by Chair man Fulton of th3 State Highway CuT?mission Saturday night at a pub Up tpp.pi in a- in Liu County Record building l'oHuwir on the request of John Bergo « seeMtary of the Perth Amboy Chamber ut Commerce, that the Amboy avenue pavement be con sidered under the commission’s re inihm sfiment plan.

SEWAREN BILL MAY BE INTRODUCED TONIGHT NEW BRUNSWICK, Fob. 7: — County seat talk today is to tho effect that no Middlesex county legislator will Introduce the bill providing for the annexation of Sewaren by Perth Amboy in the legislature tonight.

When tlio tug Harbinger arrived hero Thursday morning and tput into l l o dry docks two customs house men were placed on board to guard consignment of liquor whiclt the boat carries. The ship’s papers state it carries "SO cases of “Black and White" whiskey, some bitters and other liquor consigned to Nassau in tlio Bahama Islands. The report re ceived in this city, however, is that the liquor which was shipped from Mt. Johns, N. 1<\, is owned by IWfEfr*1 — and nearby bootleggers and saloon keepers who have been attempting to land it since tlio boat put Into tlio dry docks. Tlio reason to- the boat stopping at tills city was to have a water tank installed, according to members of the crew, li Us said by those inter ested In tlio ease that tills could have been done while tlio boat was in New York, but it was decided to have tlio work dene here in order to fur nish an excuse for tlio boat’s land ing here.
