BRITISH SHIPS REMAIN IN PORT FEARING U-B0AT
COMMON REPORT THAT SUB HAS
 STARTED HONE, BUT ADMIRALTY , DECIDES TO TAKE NJ CHANGES

day. Captain David P Studley of the lightship was asked to forward what information he had in the matter. A radio message from him tonight said:
 "A report of the sinking was re- ceived from Captain Wilson and crew of Strathdene when they boarded this vessel. They claimed they saw the Kingstonian attacked and crew taking to the boats. The crew of the Chris tian Knudsen boarded lightship after pullin for hours after having been sunk thirty miles south or the Ignt- ship"
 Naval men were inclined to think this indicated that the reported loss of the Kingstonian was an error. Radio conditions Sunday were not the best they pointed out. and in the excitement of the moment, it would be easy for the Strathdene to have confused the Kingstonian with the Knudsen, owing to a similarity in their code signals. A through search by the destroyer flo- tilla has failed to disclose any trace of the Kingstonian's boats and no inquiry has been received here concerning the fate of her men. The Kirgstonian is in the service of the British govern ment and no records of her movements are made public

NEW YORK, oct. l1.-Although there was no news today to indicate that the German submarine U53 was still lurking in the Atlantic sea lanes and while some shipping interests be- lieved she has headed for Helgoland there was evidence that the British ad- miralty will proceed with caution in all lowing British ships to depart from At lantic coast ports. Two British vessels due to sail today, did not leave and it was reported that others which have cleared. both French and British. will not sail at present.
 Shipping circles heard today that Admiral Montague Browning, in com mand of the British fleet at Halifax, had issued orders detaining the British merchant vessels now in America ports until such atime as it was deemed safe for them to depart.
 \ dozen other British snips, includ- ing the big White Star passenger liner got their clearance papers today but it was said that with the exception of the Adriatic. the dates of their departure would depend upon the developments tn the efforts which, it is taken for granted. the British admiralty is mak- ing to rid American waters of the sub marine danger
 The Adriatic, White Star officials said. will sail at noon tomorrow and prospective passengers have been mo- tified. The continued absence of ad- vices indicating additional submarine activities along the Atlantic lanes, re- suited in a reduction today in marine insurance from the high mark struck Monday. Rates were quoted at 212 per cent. a decrease of 50 per cent from aN ft, he week.
 There was a strong tendency in na val circles today to believe that the T-53 is headed for her base at Helgo- land. This belief is founded on the knowledge that the cruising radius of the U-53 class boats does not exceed 900 miles

Amsrioan Naval Activity

NEWPORT. R. l., Oct 1.-The American navy is taking every precau- tion against the use of the American coast as a base of supplies for foreign submarines.

STATE READY FOR ROAD
When Will Council and People Be
Ready To Bond The Borough?

A meeting of the Mayor and Council
was held Tuesday evening. Mayor Cum
bingham presided. Councilmen Lummis,
Naylor, Blohm and Risner were present.
A few current bills were ordered paid.
1t was ordered that another barge load
of 200 tons of cinders be bought and put
on Broad street where most needed. They
Cost 80 cents a ton put ON the street.
Howard b. Keasby, of Salem, was an
pointed and confirmed as solicitor. His
retaining fee is to be $125 a year and
So for drafting each ordinance.
Mr.. Keasby, who is county engineer
of roads as well as county solicitor,
with his assistant, James Sparks, were
present with the drafted plans and speci-
fcations for the road to be built through
the borough with State aid. He said
that all was ready and awaited the action
of the Borough Council. The county
will take the road from the railroad cross
ing on Maple avenue, but the borough
will build from the railroad crossing to
the north limit with State aid.
When the road was applied for an or
binary gravel road might have sustain
ed the traffic, but since the traffic has
become to heavy nothing but a stone
or concrete bed will sustain it. The
purpose is to build an amiesite road
twenty feet wide.
Mr.. Keasby asked whether it was the
purpose of the Mayor and Council to
lay a sewer pipe on Maple avenue and
Broad street before the trolley road and
State road was built. A sewer pipe is
usually laid in the middle of the street
and connections are then made at equal
expense to properties on each side of
the street. 1t would be cheaper to lay
a sewer pipe and make connections be-
fore the trolley is built, because when
the bed of the road is broken to lay the
sewer pipes later repairs will be more
expensive and the road will never be in
as good condition. A sewer pipe may
be laid on each side of the road bed
but that would be double cost for two
trenches and two lines of pipe.
The question of a location for a Dor
ough hall with fir house and lookup
was discussed. but no action taken. The
Mayor and Council have received nas
tees to remov the lookup from the
Record building, also to vacate the room
used in the Justice building on March
18th. The most available temporary To-
cation seems to be Councilman Blohm's
pond which the State Board of Health
believes needs an occupant to look after.
