Plainfield notes span streets and society items

Local paragraphs cover streetcar plans, club meetings, political organizing, safety incidents, church and school events, travel notices, and personal notices. Mentions of Plainfield, North Plainfield, Asbury Park, and Ocean Grove appear with names of residents, visitors, and officials. The piece records a city council session on street railway franchising and a settled court case, alongside brief reports on excursions, family news, and local commerce.

Bicycle Hotel and inventor plans new steam bicycle

The piece describes Helen and Eva Rogers riding with their father in a bicycle-equipped city, notes Clinton Sawyer of Savannah Ga inventing a steam bicycle powered by a small engine with gearing set for about sixty inches, and quotes Elizabeth's Journal on athletic training and discipline for cyclists. Supreme Court rulings clarify sidewalk and street bicycle rights and negligence standards.

Elizabeth County Valuation Fight Shapes County Board

Elizabeth held the key as county assessors met amid split factions planning to dominate the Board. The vote tallies show Elizabeth with twelve seats and Plainfield with ten, while prices fixed for the year total 32,684,000 with Elizabeth gaining 827,000 and other towns securing varying sums. A short city meeting followed with eight members present, and a street railway ordinance was postponed. A cycling race in Montclair saw Compton Wall place first and Newark riders second and third. Thursday and Friday feature a gun club tournament at Plainfield with shooting on the rocks drawing crowds.

A Clever Gum Patch Fixes a Tire

A cyclist, stranded at night with a punctured tire, solves the problem by stuffing chewing gum into the hole, covering with plaster, and sealing with tape. The tire inflates and the rider completes his journey safely. The piece also notes a New Jersey Building and Loan Association meeting in Asbury Park with talks on building and loan life insurance. A local ball game on West Fourth Street ends 3 to 2 after a hard fought match between Tom Dwyer's and James Spratt's teams.
