later placed in a barrel. This morning
she went out to search the barrel contain
ing the husks. but a driver for the city
scayenger placed the stuff on his wagon

cry from Rutherford, were sent to the
committee last night by the Town Council.
Volunteer solicitors will procure signatures
and when completed the petitions will be
forwarded to the Postnlaster-General. The
petitions read in part;
During many years past we have had a
postoftice of our own. to which we went
for our mail. until the carriers were put on
and our postofice was reduced to a sub
station. During the past three years the
population of the township has almost or
quite doubled and is growing at the pres
ent time at a very rapid rate. We feel
that we are justified in asking better, IN
stead of worse ural facilities In view OF
the great Increase in population and IN
business transacted within our borders.
We s%trenuously object to being forced TO
purchase and pay for a mail box OF any
particular make, which we have been COM

been assured we must do If we expect TO

Criticism was made of the method OF
turning on water in the system when tests
