Editor EVENING NEWS
ION Wednesday, Aug. 23rd, ap-

data relative to James Patton, of
Woodbridge. James Patton came from
Sterling, North Britain in 1774. The
two years previous to his departure
from Sterling were spent in the SER
vice of Alexander wright a merchant
of that place who gave him an ex-
cellent recommendation for honesty
and faithfulness when he left.
"He joined the Light Dragons,
(2nd regiment, Continental Army
when they were first organized, in
1875, and continued his connection
with them until 1873; in 1878 he
was made Lieutenant; in 1888 he
was commissioned by Gov. Living
ston, as a Captain of the First Bat
tallion of Middlesex Militia. In 1892
Captain Patton was assigned by Gov.
Paterson to the command of a COM
pany of light infantry organized in
this county. He vas placed on Gov.

rank of Iieutpnant Co10ne1 haVtno

jor's commission in the First Regi-
ment, Middlesex Militia. He was
twice commended for his bravery and
spirit by his commanding officers

''ALL'S WELL"
AT SPOTSW0OD
No Political War This Year
causes Comment.
Special to the EVENING NEWS

SptOELt ~ IS Il ' y " ''-
Spotswood, Aug. 30.-Perfect har-
mony will exist in the local election
on November 7, this year, so far as
can be learned here at this time. A
petition is in circulation for the re-
election of Councilmen 7. Francis
Perrine and William j. Bissett. This
action has caused many to comment
upon the previous agreement of the
Democrat and Republican leaders to
unite and elect non-partisan council
men during the early years of the
existence of the borough. Council
men Perrine and Bissett have served
since the borough's inception.
Both candidates are known to lean
towards the democratic faith and
have served their terms in council
without criticism. The petition also
bears the name Of P. NJ. Bovine, re-
corder, for the office Of justice Of the
| peace, which he now holds. The
document has many sfgners and will
be in readiness to file with Borough
Clerk G. W. DeVoe before the stated
time-September /.
Parties interested in the towns
welfare have requested the EVEN
ING NEWS correspondent to state
their displeasure of the system now
employed to elect councilmen. They
claim, inasmuch as the borough has
been in existence some four years,
it is now time to change the politics
and permit a Democrat and Republi-
can war, as of old. They aver that a
little politics, played by both parties,
would serve to increase interest in
the borough's progress and also be
a means to defeat a councilman for
reelection If such a move was in
order. The compliments declare
they now have no show" as insur-
gents at the primaries under the new
Geran law, If both parties endorse
the same candidates for seats in
council.

ANOTHER TOUR
OF INSPECTION
South AmbOy Party See Pave
ments Along the Shore.
Special to the FvBNING NEWS.

DPCCt0s ~ fG - " " W -
South Amboy, Aug. 30.-Through
the courtesy of j. A. Sexton and
Charles Safran, the committee of
Broadway property owners made an
other automobile tour yesterday for
the purpose of inspecting the char
acter of pavement In several nearby
cities and towns. In addition to
Messrs. Sexton and Safran, there
we're. Messrs. Mahoney, Kenah,
Kaufman, Monaghan and Straub in
the party.
The first observations were made
in Red Bank where the entire street
paving consists of vitrifed brick.
The people of Red Bank of course
know nothing but Yitrifed brick and
think it is the best character of paw
ing.
The next city visited was Long
Branch. At this point the commit
tee observed a street of asphalt that
had been. done seventeen years. They
were informed this street had been a
bill of expense ever since it was laid
and is now practically gone, that it
had cost hundreds of dollars every
year to keep it in repair.
From Long Branch the party went
to Allenhurst, where a street was
observed that had been paved with
bithulithic for a period of three
years. This, it is said, was a very
beautiful street indeed. 1t was al
most three miles long and had been
laid on a macadam road and was
just like a bottle-not a blemish in
it the whole length. 1t was almost
impossible to see the street on &C
count of the great number of auto
mobiles passing over it. While
standing in front of Fishers man.
sion, Congressman Scully happened
along in his automobile and imme-
diately joined the party. They then
proceeded to Asbury Park where Mr..
SculIy led them through the prin-
cipal streets. Comparatively few
streets in Asbury Park have been
paved. One that had been paved
with vitrifed brick for about a year
looked very nice. There was anoth-
er that had been paved with asphalt
that was all gone-not asphalt
blocks, but continuous asphalt paw
ing.
At this time 1t started to rain so
that Congressman Scully led the par
ty to his residence In Long branch,
where they were entertained for
about one hour. The party then
proceeded to Pleasure Bay, still &C.
companied by MI. Scully, where a
nice lunch was partaken of, the COM
mittee arriving at South Amboy
about 5:45 p. m
The committee report that prac-
tically all the roads they saw that
wore really worth anything were
either bithulithic or vftrified brick.
The committee have an invitation
from one of the Asphalt Block Paw
ing Companies to go to Brooklyn and
the Bronx to look W. the asphalt
block pavement in those cities, and
have accepted the invitation for next
Wednesday,.

LICENSE CONE;
DOG is TAKEN
Think Many Dogs in South
Amboy Are Unlicensed.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


South Amboy, Aug. 3O:-George
Green, of Broadway, was the owner
of a pet dog and as Mr.. Green is q
~law-abiding citizen, he secured a IL
cense collar and tag for his pet.
Someone stole the collar and tag
from the dogs neck. Mr.. Green
complied Immediately with the pro-
visions of the ordinance In such cases
by placing a letter in the mail noti-
tying the dog warden of the facts.
Notwithstanding this precaution yes
terday morning the dog warden seiz-
ed the LITTLE animal and placed in in
the dog pound, although it was said
he knew the dog was licensed.
The NEWS correspondent finds
from the statistics at the police court
that 334 dogs have been licensed in
our city and he guessed that the mum
Der disposed of by the dog warden
might reach 125. This would, If
correct, make the number of dogs in
South Amboy, when the dog crusade
began, not more than 460. We dc
not believe that this number will
cover more than one half of the ca
mines in this city.
This may overreach the mark, yet
we are convinced that there are
enough dogs unlicensed in our city to
reach up in the hundreds, and it is
certainly unfair to make a portion
of the citizens of the town comply
with the ordinance as passed and let
others go scot free. Has not an au-
thorized person by the council a right
to visit a premises and report all IN
licensed dogs just as the assessor can
visit premises for the purpose Of
assessing property? Let US be fair
all around and use all possible means
to compel all to pay their dog IL
censas as tn comDel a mart.
