The local committee in charge of
the Y. M. c. A. campaign has de-
cided not to make a house toulouse
canvass of the city, but will depend
upon voluntary contributions and
special calls upon likely prospective
givers to raise the $4,000 planned
for. Charles D. McCracken, the
campaign manager; Charles M Dilts,
chairman of the committee, or Al
fred l.. Crimson, treasurer, will re-
ceive the campaign contributions.

will be used were explained.
B. Frank Barley, of this city,
and a member of the Hunterdon
County Board of Taxation, introduce

soldiers be not pushed at present,
in anticipation of the New Jersey
Legislature extending to them the
same exemption that now exists for
veterans of the Civil War and Span
ish-American War. The meeting
was held at Pennington, on Monday,
and there was no opposition to the
plan, as proposed by Mr.. Barley.
