Along the Shore.

seven indictments have been found
against John Gargare, of Lakewood,
garage owner, for purchasing seven,
automobiles that had been stolen, one
indictment for each automobile, and he
was held under $1,000 bail. 1t is charged
that, knowing the cars had been stolen,
he bought them from Daniel f. Riley,
delphia. Five of them were Packards,
one a Ford and one a Pierce-Arrow.
Gargare is also under bail in New York
on a similar charge. Riley is under ar
rest in Ocean county and it is reported
will turn states evidence.
Additional liquor licenses were granted
by Judge Carmichael last week, among
them being wholesale one to Kumpf
Bros, at Tuckerton, who the previous
week had received retail license. The
Judge decided that one wholesale license
was enough for Tuckerton, so he refused
the application of Samuel Brunstein A
wholesale license was refused Abraham
Boyer, at Lakewood. A remonstrance
against Richard A. Donnelly's applica-
ton for hotel license at Waretown had
been filed. After an all day hearing the
license was granted.
Work has been resumed on the bridge
across the bay at Seaside Heights. Pill
ing is being driven from the main chan
mel to the west shore. The iron for the
draw is at Passaic, ready for shipment.
The lumber for tenders and caps is on
the ground. A large part of the filling
on Pelican island has been pumped in.
1t is expected to have the bridge COM
pleted early in June.
1t was Lakewood against Lakewood SO
to speak when Mrs. Jasper Lynch of that
place led the fight against the bill pass
ed by the Legislature to allow the John
ID. Rockefeller Institute to establish
branch of its research work in this state
The law would have allowed vivisection,
as its opponents claimed, without suf-
ficient restriction and would open the
way for abuses of power in that line
The bill was vetoed by Governor Fielder
upon that ground. Rockefeller would
have given million dollars to endow
the society. Mrs. Lynch was recently
made vice president of the Vivisection
Investigation League of this state.
An election is being held at Toms
River to-day to decide if that town de-
sires to adopt borough instead of
township form of government. Those
in favor claim that changing to a
borough means progress. Those opposed
say it means increased taxes.
The State Board of Health has extend
ed the time in which the Borough of
Seaside Park may start work ON the new
sewer system till July l. The Borough
was represented at the hearing in Tren-
ton on Tuesday by w. Fl. Jeffrey of
Toms River, the Borough solicitor, who
secured so much of an extension of time.
f. p. Larkin, who seems to have great
faith in Seaside Park and vicinity, has
bought Pelican Island with fifty acres of
meadow sod. Filled in, it will be a big
real estate proposition, as it is sure of a
cool breeze any way the wind may blow
in summer, and on the hottest day.
Under the new act of the last Legisla-
ture, approved by Governor Fielder, the
work of surveying a canal from the
head of Barnegat bay to Manasquan
river, by the upper, or Beaver Dam
route, has begun. 1t is in charge of Com
missioner of Inland Waterways William
A. Maupay, of Atlantic City. Some
years ago route was surveyed by the
state just back of the beach hills and
through chain of lakes, which show
where Barnegat bay once extended to
Manasquan river. For this canal S25. 900
was appropriated in 1913, as beginning,
but the wording of the law was such
that after it was decided to use the upper
route it was concluded the appropriation
was not available. The upper route goes
from Beaver Dam stream, west of Point
Pleasant, two miles across a sandy neck
of land to the island in the Alanasquan
several miles back from its mouth. 1t
is believed that this will keep the Mama
squan inlet open. 1t was feared that the
entrance of the canal near the inlet
would close that waterway. The land
trayersed by the new route is of little
