Gas Co. Says They Are Will

Plant, Letter to Aldermen
Says
'Phe aldermen last night again
had brought to their attention the
possibility of their purchasing th'.
> property south of Lewis street ex
tending to the Raritan river now
owned by the Perth Amboy Gas
Light Company. The city fathers
were in receipt of a letter from Wi1
liam B. Pratt, representing -he gas
company, offering to sell the prop
erty to the city. The communication
stated that the gas company woull
# be willing to stand for part of the
loss which would result from selling
the plant and did not require the
payment of the entire amount' at
the time the purchase was made
A suitable initial payment price
could be made, the letter suggested,
and the city could take two or three,
years in which to pay for the re
mainder.
The letter pointed out that the
property owned by the gas company
is desirable waterfront property a-rnl
would bo a good buy for the city, it
being in keeping with its policy to
own and develop as much waterfront
territory as possible. The number
of consumers being supplied by the}
local gas company has become so
great, the letter said, that the plant
must be enlarged but the company
has decided not to make the im
provements and extensions at the
present location. It Is desirable of
getting out of this strictly residential
section and therefore offers to soli
to the city the property and the
buildings and machinery now on it.
When the offer was made to the
ity by the gas company to sell this
property last summer, the aldermen
were favorable to buying the land
but did not desire to spend the large
additional amount necessary to pay
for the tanks and machinery as they
would be of no use to the city and
would have to be junked. The mat
k ter was dropped when it was found |
" the gas company would not reduce
its price or make use of some of the
tanks now in operation.
The committee of the whole will
consider the latest offer made in
loaf viJcrVil’tj /'nmmiinlf'nflrtn
Alderman-at-Barge Galvin an
nounced that the committee of the
whole expected to have a report at
the meeting Wednesday night as to
'he progress made in its efforts to
secure a reduction in gas rates hero
as the officials of the gas company j
hold a meeting tomorrow afternoon.

AMBOY AVE. PAVING 1
BEFORE ROAD BOARD
An effort will be made by repre- .
sensitives o; this city to have the
Sta^.e Highway Commission act fav
orably today dur.ng its meeting in
Trentcn on the repaving of Amboy
avenue, from Myrtle street (Koch’s
lfill) to the city line in Spa Spring.
The hearing on th.s road matter was
decided upon las, Saturday night
following tiie nieetir.r in New Bruns
wick and Perth Amboy is well rep
resented icdr.y.
Amins trese attending in behalf
of the city are Mayor Wm. C. W il
son. Aldermen Albert G. Waters and
Robert A. McGuire Street Commis
sioner A. F. Muniz and Secretary
John Berger of the local Chamber
of Commerce. State Senator Morgan
F. J arson is expected to be present
at the hearing as well as a repre
sentative from the city engineer’s
office. Freeholder Walter Quaeken
bush. of this city, together with
other members, of the county board
will attend also.
A resolution was introduced to
pave this part of Amboy avenue at
the hearing held in New Brunswicic
Saturday night but Chairman Bur
ton made the suggestion that the
aldermen make a formal request
that the work be done. The Cham
ber of Commerce had a communi
cation before the aldermen last
night telling of what was accom
plished at Saturday night’s meeting
and urging the city to go on V**cord
i-”L . V 1 ■■ ...
as favoring the work being done.
This communication was filed.
Steps were taken last summer by
the locaT council to have Amboy
avenue widened and paved but prop
erty owners along the line of im
provement appeared at city hall ob
jecting. owing to the expense which
would be charged up to them. Owing
to this attitude of the residents in
that section the aldermen did not
persist in pushing the work. Now.
however, the road has become so
bumpy and rough that a new pave
ment is desired and at the same time
the full width of the road is wanted
for use so as to lessen the danger
which now exists along this route
owing to the manner in which the
road is laid out.
There are two bad spots along
Amboy avenue near the Wood bridge
line, which are a nuisance i;o mo
torists and the suggestion has bee.
made that the aldermen request the
Barber Asphalt Company to repair
these. The road was torn In both
places by the Barber Asphalt Com
pany in order to lay pipe* across
the road to the new property and
the trenches which extend the cnf're
width of the road were nicer prop
erly repaired. They were filled with ;
dirt and small stone and M e many I
rains, together with heavy traffic
over the road serve to keep these!
two spots in such condition that they j
are detrimental to the safety of ear
and persons riding in them.

The three men who have Jready
been arraigned before Commissioner ;
Emery are all members of the crew
of the Harbinger. They art: Alex
ander Howie, James .T. McGuire and
John Windsor. The complaint
against the men, which large* ij
them with participating in a con*« ■*.
spiracy, was made by Christian. «
Schmidt, inspector of customs, Port ‘
ot New York. Commissioner Emery ■
held the men for a hearing before •
him on February 9 at 4 o'clock.
Tho New York Custom House ot- ■
flcials today refused to give out j
the names of others who are impU- f
cated in the affair, until jiiter they
have been arraigned before Cpmmie*
sioner Emery, which it was aafck:
would bo at 2 o’clock today. Whether,
or not any of the local people take^T
by tiie custom officials at tho time &(;
the attempted robbery will be
raigned today could not be b rr - d ]
in advance. Tt is known, however,
that several local me i were cap- '
tured by the custom officials and
seme of these may be included with j
those to be arraigned before the J
commissioner today.
There is considerable discussion as |
to whether or not tho men in their j,
attempt. to take the i ooze, were able 1
to board the vessel or were captured -j
under the revolver fire of the cus- ^
tom officials. Jt was learned from -|
tho Custom House in New York and |
ilso from Commissioner Emery that 1
[lie custom seal on the hatch which |
covered the spot in the vessel where |
the booze is stored was broken, am)*3
according to Commissioner Emery. |
one of tho charges against the three J
men is the breaking of a seal on one 1
of the doors, loading to the compart- |
jnent where tlie booze is stored.
From tho local custom officials it |
was learned that an additional seal %
had been placed on the hatch yes- 1
terday. A visit yesterday to die pier J
at llie dry dock, at which the ,ug is |
lied up revealed the fact that heavy J
planks have been placed across j
hatch and on top of these a hatch %
floor taken from some other r art o* |
the vessel. This condition did not ij
exist on Saturday, when the only j
thing to keep tho hatch down was a |
padlock and the metal seal of ih* |
At noor today Hubert E. Arnold

will be arraigned this afternoon. In
releasing Mr. Arnold’s name for
publication. Commissioner Emery ,
dated that he expected that another
man. who :.s implicated in the affair
.vena be arraigned before him this •'
ift.m neon ii.so. From the care with
