the representatives of the George A.
Fuller Construction Company, who
have been employed to make tempor-
ary repairs, to be in the neighborhood
of s1,00Q,000.
One passing through the city or

the extent of the damage done. In
this way one sees many broken WIN

when, together with a large contin-
gent of other men he was sent across
He was first heard from in England
and in later letter he speaks of hav-
ing been assigned to the officers mess,
at a camp in France.
Details as to the exact cause OF his
death are lacking in the report. but
in the last letter received by his
mother he speaks of air raids on their
lines. It is possible that he met his
death In one of these.
Another soldier who has made the
supreme sacrifice for his country 10

Julia Marty, Main street. is his near
est relative. His death has been pre-

There Is a probability that the

The Red Bank -Middletown road is
considered of military Importance. and

AUTOMOBILES
NEEDED BADLY

There is crying need for more au-
tomobiles for the use of the Red
Cross. Outside nurses and doctors
have come here to assist Perth Am
boy in her distress but the local people
hesitate to offer the use of their au-
tomobiles to take these doctors around
in making their calls or, to assist IN
the many ways that an automobile
can be used these days.
The cars are needed at 1880 or not
later than o'clock in the morning
in order that the doctors can make
their rounds early. Report to Mrs.
George w. Fithian at the Grace Eng
lish Lutheran Church in Jefferson
street, opposite the Y. M. G. A.
The one great need today Is auto
mobiles. Some people Of the city have
turned their cars over to the Re.
Cross and they have been used con
tinuously since Saturday. 1t is no
fair to the few that their cars be used
all the time when there are so many
cars in the city that have not been
offered to the Red Cross at all. Some
people own two cars. At least ola
might be given over to Red Cross use
in an emergency like this.
Show your desire to help by lending
your car. 1t is badly needed. The
appeal Is urgent. Perth Amboy must
not have 1t said that when outside
help is generous enough to come here
to assist, the local people are not gen.
erous enough to even furnish automo-
biles.

Conditions in the influenza epidemic
in this city continue to improve and a
great decrease IN the number 4 cases
reported at the meeting of the mayors s
committee this morning in the East
Jersey Club gives hope that the dis
ease may be ing of the past within
a short time.
The figures given out by Chairman
Oliver w. Ramsay for the conditions
this week are as follows: On Mon
day there were 230 new cases of in
huenza reported in the city; yesterday
there were $50 cases reported, OF this
number $50 were new cases and TWEEN :.
ty repeaters. Chairman Ramsay stat i.
ed that the majority of the cases re-
ported have not been seen by doctors
as yet, as they have been too busy to
reach all the calls for their services.
Even in view of the, fact that the
shortage of doctors here makes the
of the disease difficult, the
committee was informed that
the extension of time granted DR..
William H. Mccormick, Jr., by the
War Department to remain in this
city and fight the disease had been
cancelled and he Is expected to leave
within day or two for camp. The
announcement called forth consider
able comment from the committee
anu Tile lnaJOI was hutuOIA1cu W tCA-
egraph Congressman Thomas j. Scully
and Senator Joseph s. Freiinghuy-
sen OF the need OF the doctor here and
to keep him here until the epidemic
Is over IL possible.
The matter of people picking over
the city dump was taken up and in
order that the disease might not be
spread through this custom followed
by various people 1t was suggested that
lime be sprinkled over the material.
Health Officer William ]. Willsey ad-
vised that the rubbish be burned as
1t is carted to the dumping grounds
and thus avoid all chances OF anyone
picking it over. The matter of de-
stroying or protecting the rubbish
was left in the hands of Mr.. Willsey
and the city fire committee. The dump
at the present time is being guarded,
and no one Is allowed to tamper with
the refuse.
Fewer deaths have been recorded
within the past twenty-four hours In
and about the city. This is also taken
as an indication that the epidemic
