There was a meeting at Pohlmanns
last night of the Hudson County Boule-
ward Association, which organized on
March q to fight the ordinance pro-
hibiting heavy trucking on the County
Road after three O'Clock in the afternoon
President Herman c.. Freund opened the
meeting by reciting the alleged grievances
which the association seeks TO redress
He then asked for a report from the com
mittee appointed to secure counsel to
fight the ordinance in the courts.
Morris Steinberger, chairman of the
committee, made a verbal report. 1.-THE
committee" he said, gave me full
power to act in the matter, and suggested
. that [ see Judge Puster and try and Sc
cure his services. I saw the Judge, but

could only find one of them who took our

secure such a lawyer"

Mr.. Steinberg replied rather heatedly
that he had gone repeatedly before the
Board of Freeholders, only to be told
that the law would be enforced to the
