Writ Says Advertisement
by Clerk Was Unnecessary

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, March 20.-A local OPP
ton election cannot be set aside when
the vote is taken at a general yearly

the fact home to him..
This is declaration of Justice Min
turn in an opinion today dismissing
the writ of certiorari brought by Al
yah Lindabury to have a local option
election held in the township of lin
ton, Hunterdon county which result
ed in a victory for the drys, set aside
on the ground of failure of the town
clerk to advertise that the local option
question was to be voted upon.
The Justice continued that there
was no serious contention in the case
that a fair expression of sentiment
upon this question was not obtained
at the election, that h voters were
misled or failed to receive sampi'
ballots and such being the fact TN
rule of law is settled that a mer'
clerical oversight, will not avoid the
result of such an election.

Water Pressure in Northwestern
Section Causes Complaints

The Water Board was the main
target of the Western Improvement
Association members at the last
of that organization, the low
pressure in the northwestern section
of the city being the u for the
complaints. AS an illus
tration of the need of high pressure
the association has pointed out the
conditions which existed at the fire
last Friday in the home of Paul Jes-
sen, in Laurie street, where, accord
ing to the association, it would have
been q difficult matter to save the en-
tire row of dwellings If the motor
driven engines had not arrived at an
opportune time.
There is no plausible excuse for
this condition and we think 1t is time
the Water Board woke up before 1t
is too late" says q statement issued
by the association.
Appreciation of h work being
done in improving conditions at Pub
lie School No. 9 was voiced by the
association 1t the same meeting.

WAR STORIES
BY S|MMONDS
Military Observer Addresses
Students in Opening Thrift
Stamp Drive

One Of the fine and inspiring things
arising from the devastation and ruin
IN the wake of the great war is the
imperishable monument and great
statue of thrift and saving, said A. p.
Simmonds, military observer and war
lecturer, in a stirring address deliver
ed yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock be-
fore 1900 students in the high school
auditorium, which marked the COM
Gencement of the campaign here to
Increase interest in the Wa Saving
and Thrift Stamp movement. Mr..
Simmonds was secured to speak here
by the Board of Trade which is back
ing the campaign.
MI. Simmonds remarked that the A
merican people in pre-war days were
noted for the e-xtravagant in
which they spent their money, and
that thrift was scarcely thought of by
the masses. Very few people, he de-
clared, were saving for the inevitable
dark days which will surely come
some time in the form of dire want
and need, but the war saving and
thrift stamp movement gives a little
anchor to windward and will guide
the people through times Of stress.
The war is not over yet, said Mr..
Simmonds, and he impressed the fact
clearly, that neither theoretically or
technically was the great struggle
over and that in view of that factor
the people must not cease their pur-
chasing of the government certif-
Gates.
Mr.. Simmonds was in Europe at the
outbreak of hostilities and was in the
area where the German army of l.
700, 900 men modified within twenty
four hours, so he related some OF
the incidents he saw in connection
with the first clash of arms.
Mr.. Simmonds said that the people
put over the liberty loans and the
war saving drives on purely a demo
cratic unadulterated American basis
and that if Uncle Sam asks for seven
or seventy billions he car have either
Just as quickly. He declared that
now was not the time for self inter-
est and everybody must be altruistic-
no time for politics to enter into the
game and everyone must stand
shoulder to shoulder behind the chief
executive. giving him all the backing
in their power.
