ternoon, and was removed immedi-
Rtely by Dr. William H. Mckenzie,
who was called in, to st. Bernabas
hospital, Newark, where 1t was
stated this morning that his condi-
ton was very serious.
Although Mr.. Scott has never be-
fore been afflicted with paralysis, he
has been under Or. J. @. Wilson's
care for several months. On fair
days he has driven to Newark in his
auto just for his health, and he gem
orally dined at Achtel-Stetter's Sat
urday morning he drove to Nawark
as usual and was seated at table
in the restaurant when he was
stricken. The restaurant people
called DR.. Mckenzie who, on finding

GUS, had him taken to St. Barnabas
hospital. His wife was notified and

the outlay would amount to about
$500.
When Mr.. Brown had finished. the
matter was discussed by the commit
teemen. Mr.. Kuhlman and Mr..
Cranston both expressed themselves
as favorable to the proposition when
IL could be proven that 1t would be
a paying investment for the town
ship.
Mr. Dooley went into the financial
end of the matter. He argued that
at present the township had no ap-
preparation for the extension Of the
water system and he claimed the
township could not enter into such a
contract with Perth Anboy anyway,
as they had no legal authority for SO
doing. He claimed It was only q
Naate of llms to discuss IT,
The clerk then called the roll on
the question whether or not to enter
into the agreement with Perth Am
boy to supply Keasbey with water
and Dooley, Kuhlman and Cranston
voted against 1t. The proposition
was lost.
