Germ Pariin Road.

When the present Board OF Free
Iholders took office II found outstand-
ing short term notes amounting 10
$3.50 600. This money had been spent
by the previous board for various
purposes, including the causeway at
South River, the Amboy-Rahway
road. the site for the tuberculosis
sa nitarium, etc. Instead of renewing
these notes from time to time, the
present Board Of Freeholders decided
to issue bonds covering he whole
amount. Accordingly. a resolution
was passed and referred to the Capt.
tai Issues Committee for approval.
The bond issue for h a road con-
ever to do with the South Amboy-
Parlin road, as was stated in a pre-
vious issue of the EVENING NEWS.
The bond issue for tina I road con-
struction had beer previously ap-
proved by the Capital Issues Commit
tee as 1t was deemed essential work
at his time
The proposed bond issue for the
S2S9, 600 bonds to take up the numer-
Gus notes for york previously done
also has been approved by the Capt.
tai Issues Committee. After due in
vestigation into the purpose of the

that the sale thereof Is not incom-
patfble with the national interest.

Perth Amboy, n. J.
Dear Sir:
NV attention has been called to an
article appearing in the issue of July
IL with reference to the building Of
what is known as the Washington
road from South Amboy to Parltn.
Your reporter must have been under
a possibly justihabIe misapprehension
as I o what has really occurred in this
matter.
Your article states that the Capital
Issues Committee has refused to ap-
prove bond issue for the building OF
this road and your article mentions a
bond issue OF $2s9. 900 as being the
amount OF the issue d~isapproved.-
The facts are as follows:
The bond issue for the building OF
the Parlin road has been approved by
the Capital Issues Committee and by
them is determined to be a war
necessity. The $3.50. 900 referred to
in your article are refunding bonds
issued to take care of payments OF
contracts let by the previous board.
and have no reference whatsoever to
the Parlin road
II Is undoubtedly very difficult for
any one covering the meetings of our
board to understand thoroughly the
very complicated proceedings which
are necessary TO undertake any road

Among the high-priced furs that may

Investment. Russian sable and mink
have placed themselves firmly in the
minds of women, as unquestioned.
They are about as secure as gov

wealth and in demand for fine furs
outstrips that In available pelts. Even
In these times women do not regard
the finest furs as luxury and do not
anticipate that their price will be low

readily all the skins they have bought
and made up and wish there were

In selecting garments made of ex-
pensive skins 1t is best to pick out
the most conservative designs offered
by dealers-so that the style will be
good from year to year. Fine furs.

the changing modes, If they do not

Iong, graceful and very beautiful cape

the skins run horizontally, Joined to

markings run up and down. There are

The Egyptian is said to be the DOM
inant influence in the new materials
for hangings. Fabrics with this type
of ornamentation have their use In
certain places, but as in the case of
the drap de guerre they require a
clever hand when the pattern is of de-
cided Egyptian origin. Unless guided
by an expert the average woman
would do well to be satisfied with an
odd piece done in these extreme novel
ties. Frequently they are most effec-
tive when employed as bands on
natural-toned fabric or on two-toned
stripe. Entire hangings or whole sets
covered with these designs are likely
to prove too heavy, and one soon tires
of them.

Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 10000 tons per month,
total Of 100000 for the quarter

In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
CAST only 825,00O tons went into dis

fell to 100000 tons.

Mole skin is most beautiful, but as
compared to mink or sealskin for in
stance, 1t Is fragile. That does not
stand in the way Of its popularity, es-
pecially in small garments, with wom-
en- of fashion, to whom durability is a
secondary consideration. A very love-
ly and luxurious coat of mole skin is
shown above. When one thinks of the
number Of tiny skins that must be

ment, the item of labor in making 1t
looms large. 1t is a royal coat and
wide collar of ermine is not too splen-
