MEMORIAL TO
TH0S. LANGAN
Daughters Plan Marble Altar
in St. Mary's Church.

The daughters of the late Thomas
]. and Margaret Archer Langan are
planning to erect a beautiful memo
rial to their deceased parents, in the
shape of marble main altar for St.
Mary's r. c. church. 1t will be of
Gothis architecture in perfect har-
mony with the interior of the edifice,
made of the best quality Carrara
marble and of massive structure,
measuring twenty-eight feet in
height, fourteen feet in width and
five and one-half feet in depth.
The Deprato Statuary Company, Of
New York, Chicago and Pietrasante-
Carrara, Italy, are the designers and
builders. The entire altar will be
carved and made in Italy, where
their quarry is located, shipped here
In sections and set in place. 1t will
be a magnificent testimonial to the
sterling worth and goodness of two
of Perth Amboys oldest Catholic
families, and will add greatly to the
beauty and furnishings of the church,
1t requires from six to ten months to
complete the work, but the builders
hope to have 1t in place by Christ
mas Day.

MOTOR BOATS
ARE VIOLATING
Inspector Coutts Levies S.
600 Fines--23 Arrests.

Nearly $4,000 in fines, the aggre-
gate total Of twenty-three violations,
has been levied this summer on
motorboat owners plying in these
waters, according to the statement
today of Stacey NJ. Coutts, the Unit
ed States custom house inspector in
charge of the work. Inspector Coutts
was out in the governments boat
Saturday and Sunday, after a lapse
of few days, and picked up several
motor propelled crafts not comply
Ing with the departments regula-
tions.
Absence of Extinguishers.
Mr.. Coutts found the chief VIOLA
tions to be the absence Of fire ex-
tinguishers and set of the depart
ment's regulations, both of which
must be carried to fully comply with
the law. He also informed the re-
porter that information has been re-
ceiVed Of violations by other motor
boat owners and these will be pick
ed up" and fined at the first oppor-
tunity. The fines range from ten
dollars upwards and the inspector
stated the entire outfit, as prescrib-
GU ny tHo government Can De puI-
chased at this figure
One Is Fined $3.50.
One owner was fined $3.50 by In
spector Coutts, but this case will be
mftigated, 1t is thought. The gov
ernment passes upon all violations
and in every instance this summer
has upheld the local inspector in
fines levied To be sure, in several
instances clemency has been shown
but Uncle Sam does not believe in
remitting fines in local cases.
