FenybOat Captains Should Win
Promotion, Civic League Thinks
su special Correapondent.

Blu Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Oct. -2:-Ferry-
boat captains should be eligible to
promotion to the position of superin-
tendent Of ferries. This is the posi-
ton taken by the Staten Island Civic
League.
When the matter came up last
week before the Municipal Civil
Service Commission, William Writ
Mills, vice president, appeared and
stated the reasons y why the Civic
League wants the experienced ferry
boat captains to have opportunity to
compete for the ferry superintend-
ency. 1t was proposed to amend the
rules n classification in the ferry
service so as to establish two classes
as follows:
Glass 1, with four grades-Quar-
termaster, captain, assistant superin-
tendent of ferries, and superintend-
emf Of ferries.
Glass 2, with three grades-Marine
engineer, chief marine engineer, SUI
pervising marine engineer.
The amendments provided that a
man in any grade should, after a
specified length of service, be eligible
for prom tion to the next grade.
Advantage to Island
Mr.. Mills argued that the superin-
tendency of ferries was distinctly an
operating Job and that the competi-
ton for this post should be thrown
open to the captains, most of whom
were men of long experience and OF
proved ability, and that they should
be permitted to compete with the
assistant superintendent for a posi-
ton so important to the people OF
Staten Island.

tee in charge of the erection of the
monument to the boys that went out
from the fifth ward of the borough
of Richmond in he service is making
every effort to have the monument

Pleasant Plains. The contract was
awarded to George w. Slaight of
Pleasant Plains about a week ago
for the concrete base and that work
will be started shortly.
Although the contract for tho
monument has not been awarded,
George Brewster, the sculptor of
Tottenville, has been decided upon
as the one to design the Shaft and
figure that is to set upon the granite
base. The committee in charge OF

Legion Post
to Be Formed In MataWdn

BIZ Special Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Oct. 2.2Tomorrow
night a local post of the American
Legion will be formed by the ex-
service men in this borough. The
meeting will be held in the truck
house in Jackson street at s o'clock
and all ex-service men Of the Borough
and Township are urged to attend the
meeting so that a large number OF
charter members may be obtained.
There were somewhat over a hun
dred boys in service from this bor-
ough and vicinity and with a men,
bership of these men the post will be
one Of the strongest in this district.
There is a general desire among the
former soldiers, sailors and marines
here to become connected with the
American Legion and from the census
of opinion at this time there is
good reason to think that the meet
Ing tomorrow night will be well at
tended and great interest shown In
the movement.
BY organizing at this time Mata-
wan may be represented at the Amer
lean Legion State Convention which
Is to be held in Newark this month.
The convention will be held in the
big assembly room in the Prudential
Insurance Company building. At the
present time there are l4z posts now
organized in New Jersey. with a prob
able membership of $4,000, and char
ters are being received in every mail
at the office of the State Executive
Committee in Nwark. Therefore, 1t is
necessary for the local ex-service men
to get their application for a charter
in as soon as possible II they desire
to have representation at the State
convention.
1t is probable that at the meeting
tomorrow night after the post has
been formed, hat some arrangement
will be made for Armistice Day, Mo-
vember 18th, which is going to be
called Legion Day." the state. execu-
tive committee urges posts to cele-
brate this day to commemorate the
signing of the armistice. All ex-ser-
vice men are urged to attend the
