CASTER Greetings, flying far and
II near, take multitudes of forms,
~ but a Gift Basket of blooming
fruits from Henry R. Hallowell q
Co., Broad street below Chestnut, is
one of the most delicate and appro-
pirate ways of expressing the com
pliments of the season, for the glad
ness and the freshness of spring are
reflected in the glowing colors of
the radiant fruits, arranged so
gracefully in imported Japanese and
Chinese baskets. These, and the
regular fruits for Easter, should be
ordered early, as the parade on
Saturday will delay traffic, and no
one wishes to do without delicious

4 take the form of subjecting
Oriental Rugs to all kinds of neglect
and abuse, merely because of their
reputation for durability. At this
season moths get in their work and,
being connoisseurs, choose the finest
pieces of wool to feast upon, so if
you value them don't pack them
away unshaken, or have them beaten
by careless or ignorant people, who
often do them great harm, but send
them to Fritz & La Rue, 1924 Chest

about the proper care, repairing and
cleaning of Oriental rugs. And with
your rugs up what about the floors ?
The laying and renovating of hard
wood floors is another Fritz e. La

TAX QUESTION
FOR MATAWAN
Whether S13,039 Will be Lev

Voters
BIZ Ep,cial Corrcarondenr.

p0 fHcfsuf (OFTISBOH0EHE.
MATAWAN, Jan. 2S.-At a meet
ing to be held in the high school to-
night, the question for a tax of t13,-
039.20 for the following purposes:
Purchasing of land for school pur-
poses, s2,700; repairing s~choolhouscs,
$500; current expenses. $3.50; and
sinking fund. $4S9.2o will be submit
ted to the voters of the school district.
Tht great question TO be decided by
the voters at his meeting is. Shall
land valued at 81 100 be purchased for
school purposes? The land question
is bounded on the north by Church
street, on the cas- by the Freehold
n New York Railroad, on the south
by Terhune Estate, and or the west
by Broad street, and adjoining the
present school property.
The property was purchased by the
present holder about two years ago
ana has been held by him pending &C
ton by the Board of Education, and
is now offered TO the school district at
the exact amount paid for it by him.
There is no question but that this
property will be needed for future
school purposes n the Board OF
Education deem it their duty to sub
init this proposition to the voters, feel
ing that they will realize the wisdom
of securing said property at the low
figure quoted while Il is available.
The EVENING NEWS reporter who
has interviewed several people on the
question, finds that almost everyone
seems to be m favor of obtaining the
land, which will mean 50 much to the
people of both the borough and town
ship IN future years. Additions will
Dor have TO be placed OH the presen;
high school and unless this land Is
secured. new additions OF any size viii
be almost impossible.
Under the present school law, wo-
men may vote for the purchase OF the
land and other appropriations.
