1t is this committee which is expect
ed to give the impetus that will push
the patriotic project to a glorious fin
ish. 1t is made up of 10 members
prominent in the professional, financial
and industrial worlds of the State of
Essex where Cleveland first saw the
light of day. John R.. Hardin is its
chairman and Uzal H. McCarter its
treasurer. Checks for additional con-
tributions will be received by Mr.. Nc
Carter In che office of the Fidelity
Trust Company, of which he is the
president, and by Mr.. Dryden IN his
Office in the Prudential building.
That the final subscriptions should
assume a popular form in that they
should be numerous, although small III
amount, would be immensely pleasing
to the committee.
The monument, which is to be in
the form of a tower, chaste in design
and elegant In finish, will be erected
on the university grounds of Prince
ton. where Cleveland spent some of the
happiest hours of his declining days.

Resolutions Against Open Conditions
Adopted at Portland Meeting Fri

The regular meeting of the Port

Union was held on Friday afternoon
at $50 Free street. After the routine
business hour an interesting article
on Prohibition for the Deep Sea
Fishermen by DR.. Wilfred 7. Gren-
fell was read.
Extracts of Dr. Grenfells article
follow:
God has blessed us in permitting
us to clean the liquor shops off the
high seas and we have total prohibit

foundland. which. so long as l have
ton OF coal in the locker of my own
steamer and any man near that ! can

Il have no hesitation whatever in
saying that, in my opinion. prohibit
ton, even badly carried out. is far
better than no prohibition at all. In
cities like Portland Maine, despite eff
forts of the liquor traffic to sell liquor
by means of blind tigers, the people
are far more sober than as if flaring
windows and sparkling bottles iured
men to their destruction at every
tstreet corner. as they do in so many
other cities.

traffic have my entire sympathy and

| moralizing to the civic character of

Commissioner of Public Works Bion
Bradbury. that he gave the subject a
good deal of attention After thor
oughly investigating various methods
of treating the public highways he
came to the conclusion that the oiling
system was the right one. Expert

been expected, mistakes We're also
made. and good many people jumped
at the conclusion that Cling was not

that the oil tracked into houses, that
automobiles cut it up, that horses
shoes "balled up and that it had
many other undesirable qualities.

his experiments. however, and last

Practically all the bituminous ma

this manner before the summer has
far advanced. If the oil is put on un-

quantity of sand is used and if traffic
is kept off the oil-treated highway for
sufficient length of time an ideal
surface is obtained.
At Peaks Island the dusty roads
have for years been a bugbear to the
residents and many plans have been
suggested for mitigating the nuisance.
Last year approximately $500 was
raised for sprinkling and while this
helped some the amount was NOT
enough to allow thorough wetting
down and it was, of course, but a tenn
porary relief. Now the summer resi-
dents, especially those who have taken
the greatest interest in civic improve
ments, have a movement well along
