meet at the school with Architect
Warren ConOyer, of Freehold, to An
spect plans for the proposed new

which Is near the borough, is fast
growing and tho attendance at the
school Is the largest ever known.
An efficient corps of teachers ts
partly responsible for this. The work
will be rushed as fast as possible so
that the school may be ready for oc-
cupancy when the term begins in
September. The school already has
all up-tO-date Improvements and

Cl AIMS THAT MORGAN BEACH
LITIGATION Is ENDEO

South Amboy, April 18:-Whether
this will be the ending of the long
drawn out suit relative to the owner
ship of Morgan Beach remains yet to
- seen. The information given by
Archie Rowan. Esq, Monday. to
some OF the residents at Morgan was
this: That the supreme court at
Trenton denied the motion of Hunt
and Mundy for q new trial In MIR.
Rowan's case; also In the Morris
case.
The case OF Hunt and Mundy was
before Vice Chancellor Stevens at
Newark In October last and was de-
cided In favor of Rowan and Hunt
and Mundy were given sixty days to
vacate the beach. but7fhey applied to
the supreme ceurt q new trial.
which. according to 4eewan, has been
denied. This contention in reference
to this property has been in litigation
for a number of years and the de-
PENDANTS relying on their counsel no
doubt believed that their title was
good and paid in money no doubt all
the property was worth at the time
but, since this has been in the defend
ants possession has become quite q
summer resort. Whether further lit
fgation In this matter will continue
remains yet to be determined.
