THE CITY DEBT QUESTION
Barber Plant Interests Also
Come Up-Attorney at Board
of Aldermen Meeting
The aldermen last night unani
mously adopted a resolution request
ing the freeholders to return to the
control of this city, Amboy avenue
from Myrtle street north to the city
line in order that aid might be re
ceived from the State Highway Com
mission in having this stretch of
road paved.
A committee consisting of the
members of the street committee,
namely, Aldermen Thomas Patten,
Albert G. Waters and John J. Clara,
together with Alderman-at-large
Galvin and City Engineer I .arson,
are in Trenton today conferring with
[ tne state nijjnway v-oiuiiubbiuii uo
tills matter.
There was no opposition on the
part pf any member of the board to
the resolution requesting the county
to surrender the road to the city. It
was pointed out that such action
should be taken at onco in order to
speed up matters so that th« pav
ing work might be started at once.
The resolution follows:
•‘Wher-as. That part of Amboy I
avenue lying north of Myrtle street I
to the city lino is now under the j
control of the Middlesex County
Board of Freeholders, and
•‘Whereas, It is the desire of this j
board to cruse Amboy avenue lying j
north of Myrtle street *o the city j
line to bi pavid by the State High- !
way Commission, and
“Whereas. This board it advised \
that same cannot be legally done j
while the said Amboy avenue is un
der the control of the Middlesex
County Beard of Freeholders.
• “Now. therefore be it resolved.
That this beard does hereby re
quest that the Board of freeholders
surrender its rights in said avenue
and that it return the control there
of to the city of Perth Amboy.
“Be it further resolved. That a
copy of this resolution be presented
to the Board of Freeholders for its
consideration and favorable action.”
The intention of the aldermen is
to have the road paved and curbed
Its entire length at a width of forty
feet, the state paying the cost of
the twenty-two feet in the center of
the road and the city and county
bearing equally the remaining ex
pense.
The idea of traversing over a new
route through the property of the
Barber Asphalt Paving Company
has apparently been dropped as no
mention of this was made at last
night’s meeting. The suggestion has
been made that an easier grade with
a gradual curve instead of sharp
turns would result if the new route
was laid out but investigation of the
proposed route by the freeholders
and aldermen showed that this
i.„ «« nwnonlit’O imHprtn If imr
and that it would take so long no
relief wrould be afforded this year
and possibly none next year. Bven
though work was started on the
new route this year, it was. pointed
out on the day of the inspection 1t
would be necessary to spend consid
erable money In temporarily repair
ing the present road.
The Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany. which owns a large amount of
property on both sides of the road
for almost Its entire, length, is un
derstood to be opposed to the paving
of the present road for a width
of forty feet and curbing It the en
tire length. No formal opposition
was expressed against it at the reg
ular session last night by the com
pany's local counsel. Andrew J.
'Wight, who was at the city hall and
conferred with the aldermen before
the meeting opened.

Tuttle to Announce His Candi

With Edwards.
TRENTON. April 18.—State
Banking and Insurance Commission
er. William E. Tuttle, Jr., of Union
Cl unty, stated today that he will
formally announce his candidacy
for the governorship nomination in
the Democratic primaries In about
ten days.
The commissioner Is at the state
house today conferring with Gover
nor Edwards and other Democratic
leaders. Mr. Tuttle deprecated re
ports that he would be opposed by
the Hague Democratic muchine of
Hudson, county.
Would Split Vote.
Plans for splitting the negro Re
publican vote of New Jersey next
fall and defeating United States Sen
ator Ecclinghuysen for re-election
and if possible, elect State Banking
and Insurance Commissioner Will
iam E. Tuttle. Jr.. Democrat. In the
gubernatorial field, proceeded here
this morning.
The Rev. Dr. Sylvester t>. Car
rothers, of Newark, head of the
National Independent Voters' Asso
ciation of America, held conferences
with both Governor Edwards, who is
in the ring against Senator Freling
huysen, and also with Mr. Tuttle,
■who will probably oppose State Sen
ator Runyon for the governorship.
Aceordlng to the negro politician
there are now 37,000 New Jersey
negroes enrolled in his organization.
It is a significant fact that the
Rev. I. W. 1,. Roundtree. Republican
negro leader In this city and close *o
Republican State Chairman E. C.
Stokes, joined in today's conference
in the effort to elect Democrats riext
fall.
The negroes plan for a con
vention of one thousand delegates,
representing the various local chap
ters of voters leagues to be held in
Newark on Thursday. Resolutions
are expected to be dopted at that
meeting endorsing Edwards and Tut
tle. There are rumors to the effect
that Frelinghuysen agents will try to
prevent the adoption of such reso
lutions, but Dr. Carrothers asserts
that seventy-five per cent, of the
negroes of the state are against the
senior senator.
There is a possibility, he says, that
a negro candidate will be run in the
main election to oppose Frellgghuy
sen and thus take away from him
those votes which cannot be secured
for Edwards.
Most of the negroes, he says, can
be counted upon to vote for Tuttle
us the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. At the convention, it ap
pears, plans will be formulated for
a series of forty negro anti-Freling
huysen meetings to be held all over
the state.

Schooner Charles A. Dean,
Rammed By A Steamer,
Is Being Repaired Here
The above picture is that of the I
four mast schooner Charles A. Dean,
which is undergoing repairs at the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
here, as the result of a collision at
midnight on March 23. with the
steamer Metapan, df 'the United'
Fruit Company's fleet. The collision
occurred off the Atlantic Coast, with
n view of Sandy Hook. This is the
worst hole, as a result of a collision,
hat the local dry dock company has
oeen called upon to repair in a ves-.
tel and it will'cost more* than |2a,-|
)00. The vessel has been on the
,ocal dry dock for little over a week,
ind it is estimated that it will take
more than a month more to put her
jack into condition.
The schooner had Just discharged
t cargo of molasses and was on her
way down the coast on the night of
;he collision. The night was moon
ight and the crew of the schooner
;ould see the lights of Sandy Hook
tnd along the Jersey shore. Tin
uokout informed Captain T. C. I.ar
abee of Machiasport, Maine, of a
■ed light ahead, and as a schooner
tas the right of way over a steamer
ihe continued her course. Suddenly
he lookout informed the captain
hat he saw both a green and redj
light and within a few minutes after
this the rrash rami'.
It is alleged that the steamer at
tempted to cut across in front of the
schooner but the captain had mis
judged the distance, with the result
that the bow of the steamer cut into
the bow of the sailing vessel. The
schooner at once tilled with water
and sank level with the decks, but
as the schooner was without cargo
there was enough wood in the hull
to keep it afloat. The captain at
once ordered the sails lowered and
this kept the vessel from capsizing.
The crew stayed with the vessel
which was towed to Stapleton where
divers of the Merritt Chapman
Wrecking Company placed canvass
over the hole and after pumping the
water from the vessel towed it to
the local drv dock.
The repairs call for the tearing
out of the entire bow of the vessel
from the stem to the butts and re
building this section. The vessel
which is owned by Crowell & Phur
low. of Boston, is 1,143 gross tons,
length 195 feet; width 40.8 feet and
twenty feet deep. She was built at
Camden Maine, in 1919. and is prac
tically a new vessel and worthy of
saving.
Voice Of The People
To Guide Aldermen In
Handling City’s Problems
In order to present to the Board

;he desires of the citizens on many
jf the important questions that now
confront them, and in this way en
ighten thd aldermen on many

Osttling. the Evening News tomor

i new feature to be known as Th*.
goice of the People. This feature
rill consist of a question concern
ng some important work confront
ng the aldermen and space for ans

'orm and after answering the ques

if the People Editor. The answers
sill be filed away by the editor and
presented to the aldermen at their
■ouncil meeting for their conaidera

This Coupon feature might more
itllncly be called a big petition, for
n reality that is what it is.
"his feature will inform the alder

whether the larger number of citi

though the correct names and ad
dresses of the people sending in the
coupons must be signed to them,
these names or addresses will not
be published.
When one considers the huge
matters that confront the aldermen
at this time, it is possible to realize
to a small extent how hard a task
it is for this body to decide these
matters for the best interests of all
concerned without hearing from the
citizens whom they are elected to
serve. In the United States senate.
It has long been a custom for the
people to let their senators know
what action they desire taken on
certain big issues and it has become
a. custom for the senators.to take
heed of the voice from “The Peo
ple Back Home.'" The feature in
the Evening News, is intended to be
to the board of aldermen, the voice
of the people, as the telegraph and
