MataWan CIings to Plan
Of Building for Memorial
By Special Correspondent.

NJ SDcCtut correspondent.
MATAWAN, Jan. 80. Although
several propositions and suggestions
have been advanced for the memorial
to be built In honor OF the Matawan
boys who offered themselves to the
country in the great world war, and
for those who will never return, the
committee clings to the idea of a
memorial building, as do most people
in the community.
The Lake question, which was sug-
gested by several, has from all irfor-
nation been cast aside and the propo-
sition for a building looms greater
than ever. Although n lake is de-
sired by many people, they feel at the
present time that 1t is out of the
question, while a community is
thing that the borough needs and
must have and many think this the
most fitting as a memorial.
Although the committee of thirty
and its sub-comfittees are at work on
the plans of the proposed building at
this time, they have not been released
as yet. 1t Ia expected, however, that
the building will contain amusement
rooms, auditorium, council chambers,
Office roc for borough offices and a
place for some of the borough fire ap-
paratus. There is some talk of put
ting the library on the same lot, but
not in the same building.
Even IN view of the fact that the
building is to be n memorial to both
the boys of the borough and town.
ship, from the present outlook the
expense of erecting 1t, will, TO a large
extent be borne by the citizens of the
borough. AS the building is to be
situated in the borough and will be
used to q great extent as a community
center and municipal building the
feeling of the residents of the town
ship seem to be. that 1t will be more
of q borough building than q town.
ship building and for this reason the
spirit of the memorial fails to carry
as much weight in the township as
the borough. What the outcome OF
this feeling will be remains to be seen
as the plan progresses.
Plans for the building have already
been prepared by Perth Amboy archi-
tects n others, and these will be
submitted TO the committee Of nine
when IL meets on February 3. The
finding of his committee will be re.
ported to the committee of thirty at O
meeting TO be held on February 10
when q date will be set for the big
public meeting of the citizens of the
township and borough at which time
The memorial will be fully discussed
and the a spirit of the community
obtained In the matter.
