A circus, minus a street parade is a novelty in Westerly and there was no brass band, gaily coparisioned horses, no calliope, no elephants, no nothing on the streets to mark the presence of Sig Sautelle's Overland circus. The nara phernalia arrived in auto trucks. and the performers came by railroad. fresh and in the pink of con- dition to perform their parts in the canvas tent. There is nothing pre- tentious about this Sautelle agerega = ton. it is pure and simple a real cir GUS. with ponies and some other anil nal features. The performance, which after all is the essential. was up to the real circus standard, but not as elab- orate as those given by the "greatest shows" that often show less than they advertise.
 The Sawtelle show is not a great bis me. but is a very good one, and. ir the vocabulary of the hawkers, "one single act is worth the price of ad- mission" which was sealed to the size of the show. It is the rule of the man. agement to donate ten per cent. of the gross proceeds to the tobacco fund fol the pleasure and comfort of the boys over there.

NEW DRAW OVER
THE D. & R. CANAL
Freebooter HiIker introduces
Resolution to Build Modern
Lift Draw

Al the meeting of the county board
of freeholders yesterday IL was decid-
ed to advertise for bids for the cree
ton OF a new drawbridge over the
Dela ware n Raritan canal at New
Brunswick.
Freebooter Hilxer. who introduced
the bridge resolution, said that he de-
sired to make his stand OF the bridge
matter plain. as he felt he a been
umduly censored for his attitude.
The new draw is to be of the
Strauss-Bacule type, and is to be sup
on concrete masonry piers and
abutments. 1t is to be a lift bridge,
and will be modern in every detail.
1t was stated by Engineer Fox that
about three weeks will elapse before
bids can be received.
The plans cal for a roadway of "a
feet 10 inches In width. with two
sidewalks 10 feet 8 inches In width.
Director Dey brought to the atten-
ton of the board the low wages paid
to the bridge tenders of the county.
and recommended that their wages be
Increased. in order that they may have
a fair living. He declared hat some
OF the men receive but $40 a month.
Freebooter Hilker moved that the
salaries of all bridge lenders and
other employees of the county be In
creased $40 per month. This did not
meet with the approval OF the other
members, and Il was decided to delay
action in the matter until the next
meeting.
