Edgewater Dedicates
The Free Library

While the large audience in the
open air sang America" Miss Ma
tilda Meyer, taking from the hand of
Daniel A. Higgins silver trowel,
laid" the mortar for the receiving
OF the cornerstone for Edgewater's
new Carnegie Free Library. The
date of this significant event was
Saturday afternoon, August %, 1915,
at two o'clock. Place the top end of
Hudson avenue, Edgewater.
In an admirable address former
Mayor Daniel A. Higgins, president
of the Library Board, presented in
summary the librarys history, and
the vital part which it had come to
assume in Edgewater's sovereign
community. President Higgins spoke
prophetically of the greater mission
of the library.
The speaker told of the inclusion
of the library rooms in the original
plans of the Borough Hall, and of
the establishment therein, at a some
what later date, of the library,
through the efforts of the Edgewater
Book Club. The library had grown
from its inception far beyond the
dreams of its supporters, and its
growth had led them to seek aid
from the Carnegie Corporation for
the construction of a new library
building.
President Higgins said that the
mayor and council had furnished the
funds for the purchase of the site,
which, thanks to the owner, w. o.
Ross, was sold at reduction of $500
from its actual selling figure. The
speaker also gave great praise to
Miss Meyer and Mr.. Mack for their
Jealous work for the library's success.
Mr.. Higgins said that, all things
considered, Edgewater library was
on par with the best in the state.
1t was monument to the best there
was in Edgewater's civic and social
life. Other speakers were: Rev. M.
J. McGuirk, Pastor Church of the
Holy Rosary; Rev. Francis w. Kir-
wan, Rector Church of the Mediator;
Edward L. Katzenbach, Trustee of
the Trenton Library and represent
ing the New Jersey State Library
Commission; Rev. H. P. Guhse, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church of Edge
water.

sador said he would reduce to writ
ing at the request of the American
Secretary of State.
1t did not require long for the
news to travel, and soon it had
spread like flash all over the con-
tinent. The effect was magical.
While there had been hope for ten
days past that perhaps the rupture
might be patched up, there were
few who even thought Germany was
ready to concede everything Presi-

series of notes following the Lusi-

LEVY TO Be MADE IN
INCORPORATED TOWNS
TOWARD ROAD TAXES
COUNTY COURT DECIDES ON PRO-
CEDURE PENDING INTER-
PRETATION OF LAW.

/ The county court, in levying the
road tax for next year, will levy the
tax against all taxable property in
( the county. including the property in
incorporated cities and GOWNS which
+ levy street taxes This decision was
reached this afternoon by Judge
Marsh and Commissioner Cockburn
after receiving an opinion on the law
from District Attorney Frederick
Steiwer.
A law passed by the last legislature
provided for levying the road tax
against all taxable property The
district attorney, however, holds that
there is rather a serious question as
to whether the legislature had the
right to grant county courts authoritS
tC tax for road purposes property
within municipality, in view Of the
so-called home rule amendment pre-
. viously adopted However. he advises
the county court to regard the act OF
the legislature as constitutional and
to proceed to make the levy on all
property. including town property
Then if town property holders object
they may take the matter up in the
courts.
The members of the court have de-
cided to proceed according to the
district attorneys advice. They take
the view that it is not for them to
decide whether an act Of the legis-
lNture is constitutional They will
proceed as the statute tells them to
and, if their acts are not legal, the
courts must so hold and they will
obey the mandates.
