TAKE ACTION TONIGHT.

A hearing on the assembly district
bill is to be held at Trenton Wed
n6sday afternoon. Perth Amboy
should have a strong delegation pres
ent to insist upon a redistricting of
Middlesex county. 1t is practically
assured that the bill will be passed.
as the demand for the return Of the
old system is almost unanimous from
one end of the state to the other. 1t
remains, therefore, for Perth Amboy
to let the officials of the state know
that we are to be recognized for what
we are. We are no longer a country
town, with New Brunswick our big
brother. We have outgrown the cOun-
ty seat and demand that we be given
our proper place in all state matters.

If Perth Amboy is ever to take her
