Committee on Tilghman Street Structure Takes Action. PUTS MATTER UP TO COUNCILS Committee Has Arranged for Funds, and Matter Is Now Squarely up to City Authorities Bridge Likely to Come Soon. The Tilghman Street Bridge Committee became energetic and at a meeting last night it was decided to put the matter up to Councils. The committee was called together by its president, J. Taylor Roth, former chairman of Select Council, who has spent much time and energy and considerable of his own money in furtherance of this admirable project.

In calling the meeting to order Mr. Roth said it was high time to take such action as would result in the building of the bridge. He advised that the matter be put up to City Councils. In this opinion he was eloquently seconded by Councilman John McHugh, who has made the building of this bridge the chief object of his career a-, a city legislator. Mayor Schaeffer was there- to do something in favor of the bridge, whlcVi he earnestly recommended in his an nual message to Councils last spring.

There were also present the city solicitor and his associates and Colonel Trexler and General Manager Hall nf the Lehigh Valley Transit Company. Colonel Trexler spoke in favor of th? Tilghman Street bridge, and said he believed this should be built as well as the bridge on South Eeighth Street. He remarked they should both be built well and strong, for future as well as present neejs Chairman Roth predicted that "It will be but a few years after the erection of the bridge across the Jordan before one will be built across the Lehigh River at Tilghman Street." The question of finances does not seem to be in the way. The city has appropriated $37,500, the railways will contribute and the county commissioners have promised help. The city authorities are willing to have all contributors have a fair say as to the construction of the bridge and will meet the others concerned more than half way.

The committee took the most important action of its existence in adopting the following: "Resolved, That the mayor be re-' quested to advertise for proposals for the building of the bridge on Tilghman Street from a point near Bryan Street to Jordan Street, according to plans and specifications prepared by the city engineer."

A reversal of the usual procedure was the arrest of Deputy Game Warden Charles A.

Durrell of Berks at the instance of a hunter, James E. Lerch of Tuckerton. The charge was assault and battery. Lerch alleges that the assault was committed when he and several companions were gunning. Durrell leases a property near Tuckerton which he has posted against trespassers.

According to Lerch, he and his companions failed to see the trespass notices and entered Durrell's ground. The latter ordered them away and they complied. Lerch declares that he was gunning in an adjoining field, the property of a farmer who made no objections to the presence of hunters, whither Dur- rell followed him and kicked him. Lerch tried to ward off further blows with the stock of his gun, when Durrell, he alleges, drew a revolver and, in a threatening manner, poked it under his nose. Durrell waived a hearing and entered bail for Court.
