TRENTON, Feb. 15: —The Stab
Highway .Commission has decided
that work on the physical construc
tion of the new Amboy bridge over
the Raritan river in Middlesex
county will start on April 2. Just
what the nature of this work will
be has not yet been definitely stated,
but the action was taken in order to
hurry the bridge project, which is
to form an important link in Route
•1 of the state highway system, ami
also to meet with the views of tin
war department, which is supplying
some of the tunds necessary for the
construction.
The commission lias awarded Un
contract for the construction < f
Section 5 of Route (i in Salem coun
ty to Benjamin Foster Company, of
Philadelphia. The bid of this com
pany was the lowest, being $254.
021.53. or 99 per cent of the esti
mate prepared by the commission.
The property of Arthur Brisbane,
famous editor, at the site of the
proposed new Manasquan bridge in
Monmouth county, will be purchased
by the stale. The cost for the par
cel of, land is $2,000. Competent

day without very i uclt opposition,
by* a veto ot 41 to 15. Democratic
Leader Garde, of Hudson, speaking
against the measure, criticized the
'tendency of the slat, to depart from

Another objec.hr of the Demo*
era.." to the bill was that the bonds
are to run fee twenty years, while* the

about 10 per cent of the work on
roads, suen as grading, re-aligning,

CHANGE RESOLUTION
ON BRIDGE MEMORIAL
The attorney general’s office is
row preparing for State Senator
Morgan F. Larson, of this city, the
joint resolution which wiil be intro
duced, probably next week if unani
mous consent is granted, making the
state bridge across the Itaritan riv
ei between Perth Amboy and South
Amboy a memorial structure. In
order that the resolution might con
tain the legal phraseology necessary.
Senator Larson took up the matter
with the attorney general’s office
cm. Monday with the request that the
i(.'solution be drawn up and return
ed to him for introduction
This was done by the attorney I
general’s office lent the resolution j
as drawn up in Trenton was not ex
actly what the senator desired. It
provided giving tlie State Highway'
Commission permission to erect '
mortal arches on the new structure. ;
This however is not the idea of those |
behind the move, their intention be- i
ing to make the bridge itself a nie
ntorial aiul decide later just how this
will be effected.
S.-nator Larsen returned the reso
lution to the attorney general’s .of
fice with the request that it be
changed. Owing to oilier business
the attorney general's office was un
able to again take up the matter un
til too late for its introduction this
week. Senator Larson has been in
formed that the newly worded reso
lution will be returned to him by
mail and he expects to add to it his
own ideas ami then endeavor to in
troduce it next week.
As tlie time limit for the introduc
tion of measures has passed it is
necessary to secure unanimous con
sent to introduce this joint resolu
tion. Senator I .arson this morning
said he felt sure that this consent
could bf roeurtd. The fact that unan
imous com.nt will he given him to
int.educe the state memorial bridge
resolution dues not mean, however,
that tlie vote on the measure will be
unanimously hi favor of it.
