affair of its kind ever given in the
place. There were about zoo pres
ent, and many of the late corners had
to be turned away, as there was no
room to accommodate them at the
tables.
Henry Salz was the originator of
the idea and to him is due the credit
of the dinner. Before the banquet
broke up, steps were taken to put
the Publicity Bureau on a permanent
basis and enlarge its scope OF ae-
tivity. On motion of Arthur M.
Brown, seconded by DR.. o. G. Bo-
gardus, MI. Salz was empowered to
appoint q committee to call another
meeting to further the object.
During the evening music was fur
nished by Bannister's orchestra. An
excellent menu was served and af-

address and then called upon many

DR.. Roberts was followed BY

advancing the borough. He said:
Address of Adam salz.
"I have listened attentiyely and
enjoyed the remarks OF the gentle
men preceding me. / believe that
all working together for the COM
mon cause, good must result as sure
lly as night follows the day. In
working for the good and better
ment Of Keyport we all have one
common cause. I have heard stated
some of the things that the Public
ity Bureau has accomplished and adj
vocated and / would submit a few
others which may be taken for con-
sideration and action.
First, In the matter of train SER
vice. ask the P. r. r. and G. R. r.
to have some of the fastest trains to
and from the city to the shore stop
at Matawan station.
Furthermore, on all timetables
of the Long Branch division they
should contain a note to the effect
change at Matawan for Keyport.
And 1t could even be stated, trolley
connects at Matawan for Keyport.
Another important thing, proper
waiting or reception room for troll
ley passengers. Request the Jersey
| Central Traction Company to erect
or arrange for 9 proper waiting
room so that passengers for Keyport
need not stand in the cold, heat or
rain while waiting for a trolley.
Street signs-Ask the municipal
authorities to erect appropriate
signs throughout our borough. For
instance, Front street, Keyport, and
If they can't or won't, let US do 1t
on some of the important streets.
This would let automobHists and
others know the street and town
they are in-of the thousands OF
automobiltsts who go through our
town how many do you suppose now
know what town they are in? 1t
would be good advertising and
should not cost much.
"And ON the same line OF adyer-
Using, why not ask the telephone
company to designate Keyport terri
tory with such number KeypoTt in
stead of "Matawan," as at present.
/ would also suggest that the tele-
graph company be requested to keep
their office here open till midnight
so as to insure the satisfactory re-
ceiving and ~dispatching of tele-
grams.
knowing that there are many
others who should be heard I will
not take up any more of your time,
and thank you for your attention"
