MAYOR WANTS OUT OF

AS an ex-officio member of Board
of Trustees of the Public Library,
sActing Mayor Garretson intends to
father resolution to make people of
neighboring places who use books
from the institution pay part of the
maintenance cost of the same. He
contends 1t Is unfair that Perth AM
b& should pay the whole cost of
maintaining the institution and then
let hundreds of people from out of
town apjoy it's privileges.
Mr.. Sarretson says there are a
large number from places in this VI
cinity who are subscribers at the
public library. He suggests that they
be caused to pay yearly rental for
books or nay so much book, in fair
ness to Perth Amboy taxpayers. The
executive attended a meeting of the
library trustees recently. At
glance he found little room for i'm
provement in the general work. but
he saw there should be a distinc-
tion made between local and out of
town subscribers. The city maintains
and supports the institution and its
residents are the payers. Therefore

GUILTY OF MURDER IN
SECOND DEGREE TODAY

The indictments of the other two
boat captains, James Ratigan and
William Rehor, were nolle pressed.
However, they were committed to
jail to serve as state witnesses in the
hearing pending new trial, accord
ing to the decision of Justice Bergen,
Monday.
Ratigan may leave Jail this after
noon, as his father will probably go
$500 bail for him.
At 9:45 o'clock this morning JUS
tice Bergen charged the jury in a
manner which seemed favorable to
the defendant. He stated that in
order to get verdict of guilty the
Jury must find facts that are without
doubt eonvicting. He added that
suspicion should not be used as a
means of aiding in rendering the
verdict.
During Cunningham's trial his
counsel, Lawyer Stafford, recorded
many exceptions.
