COUNTY ALONE MAY FIX
ROAD AT SOUTH AMBOY

Richardson, County Engineer Alvin IL.
Fox and Director William 5. Dey con-
fer with the South Amboy City Coun-
Gil, regarding the city's share of this
improvement. At this time it is the
purpose of this committee to endeavor
TO collect the $4,000 due from the
Main street improvement. In a con-
versation with Solicitor Richardson
last week ]. l.. .Coakley, city attorney
said that the city would pay the
balance claimed to be due by the free
holders on account of court rullng
which, says:
municipalities must not enter into
joint contracts for municipal Inn
provements."
This form of contract has been
practiced by municipalities through
out the state for years past and Is
now up before the supreme court on
appeal. 1t has been rumored that
the city of South Amboy will try, un-
der the same contention, to recover
payment of $11, 900 made to the coun-
ty on the Main street improvement.
If the city is not willing to pay their
share of the proposed improvements
on Bordentown avenue. it was in
ferred that the county will go ahead
and place a twenty foot pavement on
the road in question, whether or not
the South Amboy council will be will
ing to pay their share which would
insure a pavement from curb 10 curD:
In this connection Director Dey said
that if the South Amboy City Coun-
Gil does not propose to give their cit
izens good roads and do not want TO
pay their debts to the county, there Is
no reason in the world why the Board
of Freeholders should try to please
the people"

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 1S-
While it appears as if a hitch in the
county road repair program will de-
velop in South Amboy. the Board of
Freeholders at their meeting here yes
terday afternoon made further pro-
gress on permanent road improve
ments as advocated by the board
In the South Amboy situation Free
holder Clarence M. Haight offered a
resolution providing for the paying of
.Bordentown avenue, from Broadway
to Stevens avenue, that city, and
from Pine avenue to the South Am
boy y-Cheesequake- -Matawan road with
Warranite and concrete base. The res
olution was adopted by the board on
motion of Freeholder Louis M. Bellon.
Bordentown avenue, between Ste
vens and Pine avenues, which is the
connecting link between those por-
tions of the road which the freehold
ers propose to pave is a part of the
state highway. and while no mention
vas made of the state repairing a
portion of this road, it is more than
likely that the freeholders will en-
deavor to have this done when they
pave the part controlled by the county.
Freeholder Loblein raised an OBJ
lection to any improvement in South
Amboy as there is $4,000 still due the
county by that city for part of their
share for improvements to Main
street, which was paved several years
ago. Mr.. Loblein further stated ''this
is our opportunity to collect the $780,
600 that is due us and will not vote
for further improvements until the
bill is paid"

his voice, just stated In a matter of
fact tone, by a slip of lad somewhere
in the early twenties who acted as
guide around the Army General
Hospital No. at Colonia yesterday.
II was on the front at Verdun and
at Metz about three months of real
fighting and then got my knock out

You see at the hospital back from

Right here the visitors entered the

One more precedent the war has torn

the naturalization court was held
there in order that these men who
have made these big sacrifices for
this country could become American
citizens.
The county court has never before
the outbreak of this war been held
anywhere except in New Brunswick.
The setting was perfect Judge Daily

Let's Have Accused Germans
of Constantly Hindering Them

COPENHAGEN. April 1S-German
and Baltic German troops have forci-
bly, seized Libau and overthrown
cording to advices received by Lettish
press bureau here.
Lettish reserve troops in Libau
were surprised by strong German
forces on Wednesday, which over
powered the Let's and disarmed and
interned them. Later the Germans
arrested the Lettish minister of the
interior and several officials, ii Is said.
The surprise was possible, accord
ing to q report, because of the fact
that Lettish troops had been sent TO
the front while Baltic Germans had
been brought back to Libau. Tho
city Is now held and patroled by the
Germans.
Premier Ullman has protested to
General Won DerGoltz, commander Of
the German troops in Letvia, and the
latter has expressed his astonishment
over the incident. The Let's accused
the Germans of constantly hindering
them from mobilizing against the
Bolsheviki which, IL Is said. accounts
for the fact that Riga is still in the
hands of the soviet forces.
A telegram was sent "Wednesday

NATURALIZATION
COURT LIKELY
If Demand is Large Enough
Chances Are That Court Will
Be Held Here

A letter received by Americaniza-
tion Secretary for this city Frank w.
Henson from Richard v. Campbell.
Commissioner of Naturalization at
Washington, makes it appear as
though a naturalization court might
be established here if the demand for
such was large enough in spite of the
fact that efforts thus far to have
such a court sit here have been of no
avail. Secretary Henson has inform
ed Commissioner Campbell that II
such a court were established here,
thus making it unnecessary to go to
New Brunswick in order to secure
citizenship papers, that there would
be a 100 per cent. increase in the
number of applicants.
The commissioner does not state
that it would be impossible to secure
the location of such a court here and
it is the belief of Secretary Henson
that IL the issue were forced harder
by the people of Perth Amboy the
establishment of the naturalization
court here would soon be a reality.
