CIVIC LEAGUE
is ORGANIZED
Permanent Organization to
Work for Public Welfare.

The Civic League an organization
of citizens for promoting Perth Am
boys civic welfare, was formed at an
enthusiastic meeting held in the
council chamber at the city hall last
night.
The objects of the organization are
Cd to work for clean political condi-
tions in this city; CD to boom Perth
Amboy, cooperating in this respect
with the Board of Trade, the Wom-
ans Club, and other bodies whose
aim Is clean and better city; I'D
to get all public spirited citizens in
terested In making this a better city
to live in.
1t was made very clear at last
nights meeting that the new move
ment Is not the same as the Civic
Union, whose activities have been
very largely confined to excise mat
ters. The scope of the Civic League
will be as wide as possible. 1t will
be an important factor in elections
and will probably In time put a Civic
League ticket in the field.
Plans were made for a big meet
ing to be held in the near future.
An out of town speaker who has had
large experience in work of this kind
will address the meeting, the date
of which will be announced later.
The Civic League is not an eXclu-
sive organization. Any voter may
join who is interested in talking
Perth Amboy' in the right way.
Those who believe in politics for the
pocket-book and "the rule of the
politician" need not apply
The following officers were chosen
at last nights meeting: Temporary
chairman, Daniel w. Boehm, public
ity committee, Wilbur La Roe, Jr.,
Harry Sell Herbert GiIlis; secretary,
Gilbert e. Sell.
Edgar II. Kleinhaus, principal OF
the high school was present and gave
valuable advice and assistance in
launching the new movement.
Peter A. Peterson, who originated
the Civic Union, was not present. IL
was known that he was in New York
on business. He said yesterday that
his law practice would not permit
him taking any further active part IN
the movement. He declared that he
felt he had done his share of the
work and borne his share of the ex-
pense last fall when the excise cam
paign was on He said he was will
ing now that others should carry on
the work,

MANY BODIES ARE EXPOSED
BY The RECEDINC FLOODS
CON NTR|BUT|ONS COME
IN RAPIDLY FOR THE
MAYORS RELIEF FUND

Quick and generous response Is
being made by the residents of this
city to Mayor Ferd Garretson's ap-
peal through the EVENING NEWS
yesterday for aid to the flood vic
tins of Ohio. A total amount of $100
and clothing had been donated up to
noon today. The appeal was first
made In the NEWS yesterday after
noon. Almost as soon as papers
were being sold there came response
with the result that checks and cash
were being forwarded to those desig-
mated to receive the donations.
At the rate that subscriptions have
been coming in the amount may
reach the $3.50 mark this afternoon.
1t 10 likely 500 will be sent to
thep roper officials today for distri-
button among the sufferers. Quick
action is necessary, that the victims
may be furnished relief at the earl
lest possible moment. The closing
reminder In Mayor Garretson's ap-
peal yesterday was che gives twice
who gives quickly" As funds were
coming in SO rapidly, Mr.. Garretson
decided this morning to send 500 to
the sufferers as soon as that amount
had been received. Patrick Convery
and c. G. Baldwin have also donated
some clothing.
Indications are that Perth Amboy
is going to give its share of the coun-
try-wide contribution to aid the
flood, fire and cold victims of Ohio.
