now ON WORKING BASIS
Tho 0rdwoy cantaiovpe Associatio"
Ready For 1911 Business

During the course OF This week
notices were sent to the Stockholders
aud directors OF the Ordway Canta.
loupe association to attend meeting
at the Ordway Hotel, Saturday, the
l4ih inst. Plans have been perfected
to place the association on splendid
working basis.
The Ordway Cantaloupe association
was organized about five years ago
under the laws of this state. Its pur.
pose was and still is to secure proper
grading and packing, also intelligent
and profitable marketing OF all melons
shipped through its agency; to bring
Ordwav with its numerous industries
aud natural facilities to the front,
thereby bursting land values and
bcnctitting in other respects. 1t Is
the aim OF the association to gain FOR
its product a reputation and high
standard as is enjoyed by many fruit
associations. particularly In the West
and Northwest.
The advertising label used by the
association is protected under strin-
gent copy right law. Both label and
wrapper tend to bring the name OF
"Ordway" into the limelight and ad-
vcrtisc this section as second to none
in soil fertility. "Why," asks mem
bcr OF the association, cannot our
Ordway Cantaloupes be advertised I"
such an extent that the buying com.
munity will know Ordway as well as
they do Rocky Ford?'
No one following the cantaloupe in
dustry here since its inception will
attempt to disprove the influence OF
the advertising Ordway has received
through the medium OF the Ordway
Canialoupe association. Land values
have doubled and tripled and without
assuming to prophcsy, 1t Is safe To say
land will continue to rise in valua.
tiun.
During the first year of its existence
l:,c Ordway Canlaiuupc association
did excellent work bat Through iuju
dicious management on the part of
seyernl- parties then-intcrested. be-
came financially involved. For three
wears the process OF rehabilitation
went slowly on until finally its "blisa-
t.ons were disposed OF and 1t now
takes its stand in the business com.
munity of Ordway as a valuable insti.
tuition.
Any cantaloupc grower In the vicin-
ity Of Ordway can become a member
Of the association. All that will be
required of him Is that he put forth
his best efforts to grade and pack his
melons up to such standard that
they will be IA credit to himself, To
the association and to the Ordway
district. Positively no financial re.
sponsibility Is assumed In any form
by a person joining the association.
On the other hand there will be
numerous benefits derived directly
and Indirectly by each and every
member.
Being Il strictly home institution,
calculated to further the best In
tcrcsts Of Ordway, protiting directly
or indirectly. every resident or Ord
way and vicinity, it deserves Il large
membership and the support OF every
one.
c. S. StcinmctZ Is president. and
Fred BASS. secretary. Either Of these
gentlemen will be pleased to welcome
new members. Growers are also in
vitcd to attend the meeting at the

Mr.. GARRETSON
SENDS LETTER
Views on Hospital ASSN
Also Had Resolution.


While there is much gossip afoat
regarding the lively session of the
Perth Anboy City Hospital Associa-
ton, Tuesday night, some are at
tempting to unearth evidence on the
action of the s~o-called regulars"
who won out. There are some who
desire to know where the money
came from that was paid as admis-
sion fees for new members who sup
ported the faction now In control OF
hospital affairs.
Samuel G. Garretson has taken a
hand in the matter and in a conimu-
nication to the EVENING NEWS
today declares he shall desire to
speak later on the subject If he can
verify the Impressions given by the
meeting Tuesday night.
Mr.. G~arretson states that he had
a resolution similar to Mr.. Wight's
to offer, but inasmuch as Mr.. Wight
presented one first, he withheld his.
The document prepared by Mr.. Gar
retson seems to please members or
the controlling faction of the hospi-
tai better than did that offered by
MIR. Wight. 1t would have provided
that any patient going to the institu-
ton, whose physician is not a mem
Der of the hospital staff, could have
the privilege Of attendance OF their
own physician providing 1t would be
agreeable to the regular STAFF physi-
clan In charge. MI. Garretson's let
ter to the NEWS follows:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Yesterday morning I-set a gentle
man who accosted me thus: 1T Is
| better to have fought and lost than
| not to have fought at ALL" referring,
Of course, to the City Hospital meet
ing on Tuesday evening. Now, ! did
not call that a fight, that was only a
skirmish: the fight may come a year
later.
With your permission / would
like to say a word or two in regard
to a resolution offered by Mr.. j.. s.
Wight. / only objected to the pay
patient part OF the resolution. The
intention of the county In subscribing
for the support of the hospital as
well as the subscriptions coming
from the city of Perth Amboy Is that
the very large number that enter
the hospital for treatment are not
able to pay anything and hence the
appropriations of which i have
/ have a resolution that / had
prepared to offer at that meeting,
lot knowing that Mr.. Wight OF any
ne else would offer such resolution.
BUT, when / learned of his. ] con-
withhold mine. thinking
.ssxom4 would think that there
ras collision on the part OF Mr..
Wight and myself in trying to get
his matter through, which was not
be case. / Will give you my resolu-
ION:
That when any patient going to
he Perth Amboy City Hospital for
either surgical or medi-
al, and whose regular physician is
not a member of said hospital medi-
cal staff,
That the said patient shall have
the privilege Of the attendance and
of their physician under
the supervision OF the regular star
physician then in charge and shall
be subject to the bylaws which gov
ern the hospital In such cases.
shall desire to say something

of the impressions OF the meeting

HOME
RULE IN CITIES
Bill Regarding Salaries In
Newark Is Opposed.
fsnectal Correspondence

Trenton, March 9:-Tendencies
towards home rule for cities were
further emphasized In the Assembly
yesterday when the House defeated
the bill that would have required
Newark to raise the salaries of the
men employed there in the training
| stables OF the fire department. The
vote was 20 against and 10 for. Mr..
| Shalvey, the fntroducer, changed his
| vote to be able to bring the measure
up again.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, of Union, led the
| fight on the measure. He asserted
that 1t was not right to take money
from the pockets of the men earning
only from 81 to $1.50 a day. He
said the fremen were all right but
did not think that these stablemen
should receive the advance. Mr.,
| Whyte, of Camden, opposed h bill
on the principle that the Legislature
| should fix municipal salaries. He
thought this should be done by the
local governing body. These men Mr..
| Shalvey answered, were doing the
same work as firemen and had to re-
spond to all second alarms. The
! other members OF the department,
| he said, had been taken care OF In
another bill that has passed the
House this session, but these men
were neglected. Mr. McCran, OF Pas
sale, inquired why these men were
mot compelled to take an examtna-
ttion like the other members OF the
department il they did the same duty
and were to receive the same pay.
These positions, he understood. were
appointive. The Essex members
were surprised that the other leg1s-
la ors were so much interested when
their home cities were not involved,
but the principle was there and the
| bill went down to defeat.
The measure by Mr.. Radcliffe, pro-
yiding that moneys received In fines
| from violations OF fish and game
laws be turned oyer to the Fish and
| Game Commission, was passed and
| the measure by Mr.. Bracken to per-
| NIT all cities to sell their bonds to
| their own sinking funds was also Ia
| vorably received. Mr.. Radcl1ne 8
measure. limiting the number OF

bill by Mr.. Brown, annexfng to
South Orange village q portion OF
the township of South Orange, re-
ceived a majority of the votes. Par
ents who desert their children are
made disorderly persons under Mr.
Newman's bill, which raj passed.
and complaints against them can be
made before any magistrate In the
county. The bill by Mr.. Walsh pro-
viding for the appointment of har-
Dor boards by cities was passed.
The measure by Mr.. Layden, pro-
viding for the appointment of ocm-
mission OF five members on old age
insurance and pension funds was
passed and also the bill by Mr.. Hem
erickson, creating the borough of
Fair Haven. Monmouth county. Two
amendments to the district court act
by Mr.. Mylod, requiring district
court Judges to make jury lists and
allowing the propeunding of inter
were passed. The bill by
dr. Burke, establishing an expert
station for Horticulture at the
State Agricultural Station, was pass
