New Brunswick Tenants Protest
Against Governments Notices

Tenants of the 1872 houses in New
Brunswick built by the United States
Housing Corporation last year met
yesterday and protested against the
notices they had just received from
the Government. The present occu-
pant of ahouse-us
pant of a house must contract to buy
it within two weeks or vacate, the no
tees said.
Coming when the housing situation
is acute and after word from the
Government hat the dwellings would
not be sold before June, 1920, the or
der has aDgered the tenants, chiefly
w~orkingmen.
The Government plan for paymen
demands an immediate deposit of ten
per cent. the balance payable one per
cent monthly. The complaint is that
the houses, although constructed
eighteen months go, are appraised at
present day costs.
The entire group of houses is val
ued at $730,000 and ten percent Of
his amount is too large a sum for the
tenants to raise. r. Rogers. vice
president of the North Ameri.a1
Steamship Company. who attenGSd
the meeting offered the suggestion
that a corporation be formed, with the
tenants as stockholders and outside
aid solicited in meeting the first pay
ment.
1t was said f. C. Hinck, former
Mayor of Montclair, plans to have
the houses vacated and then, seek a
revaluation from authorities at Wash
ington, with the idea of buying the
property himself.

thousands of cases of condensed milk,
and other life sustaining provisions
purchased with American Jewish Re-
lief Funds n American Polish Re-

will be transported overland to strick-

cargo exceeds TWO MILLION DOL

The other is of the steamship Pen
sacola starting on It's long voyage to
the Near East, bringing life and hap

are C~onstantinople and Beirut. The

Lehigh Valley Conducting
Safety First Campaign

The Lehigh Valley railroad is con-
Quoting a safety first" campaign
over its entire line in order to dimin-
ISL the number of grade crossing &C
cidents which cause hundreds of
fatalities annually. This educational
campaign is as much for those not
employed on the railroad as he
Lehigh Valley employees, more so. in
fact, as the safety first" slogan is
being brought before the employees
continually while carelessness is ike
ly to dominate in the cases of non
~railroaders.
In this safety first" campaign au-
toists are urged to abide by the
simple rule Of stop, look and listen
before going over a grade crossing.
Many accidents, it is pointed out,
would have been ~avoidable had this
rule been observed. The doctrine Of
safety and caution has been spread
about among the railroad employees
through the educational work of the
safety department and during this
drive talks are being given the en-
ployes at various times by officials of
the railroad.
Members of the ministry and clergy
are being requested to assist in this
work and impress upon congrega-
tons the number of accidents and
deaths a little caution on the part of
autoists and pedestrians would pre-
vent.

VALUATION
MOST EXTREME
New Attack In Made on the Pub
lie Service

NEWARK, Oct. 28:-'Tf Dean
Cooley had applied to the Public
Service Railway property the same
theory of real value hat he applied
In the Cleveland case, instead of get
ting from $3.50, 0O0, 900 to $40, 00O,-
900 as the minimum value he would
have gotten about $50, 200, 900 as the
present value of the Public Service
Railway property including the addi-
| lions since 1915"
DIR. Delos F. Wilcox, witness for
the associated municipalities in the
trolley zone hearing, in making the
above assertion before the Public
Utility Commission yesterday after
noon, added that the stocks and
bonds outstanding against this value
| would have left the property "ap-
proximately $5S, 900, 900 less than
nothing"
When the hearing on a permanent
rate was resumed yesterday morning
City Counsel Fallon of Hoboken ap-
peared before the board to ask that
the present zone plan, so far as ii APP
piled to Hoboken might be continued.
when street cars were first run in
Hoboken," he said, tickets were sold,
thirty-three for q dollar. We lost
that rate. For years Hoboken has
tried to get @ three-cent fare. Now
we have tive want to keep 1t.
Thousands of persons in Hoboken
now are enabled to ride for three
cents, who for years paid five cents
and then seven. The zone plan has
worked out to the satisfaction of
Hoboken riders. For them l ask this
board to continue it."
President John w. Slocum of the
commission assured Mr.. Fallon that
Hoboken's request would be consid-
| cred along with that of other cities,
in determining a temporary, which,
1t is expected, will be announced to-
day.
Questions Cooley Analysis
Continuing his analysis of the
Cooley appraisal of Public Service
Railway property. Frank Fl. Sommer,
counsel for the municipalities,
through his witness attempted to
show that the Cooley valuation was
not always accurate; that land over
heads were sometimes duplicated,
and that allowances for taxes during
construction were excessive.

To SELL PUBLIC
NAVY SUGAR
Three Million Pounds WlII.be Re-
leased to Relieve Shortage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Advised
that the Navy Department has in re-
serve 100000 pounds of sugar., Sec.
rotary Daniels has intimatcd that he
would release one-third of the stock
or 5000, 600 pounds for public use to
relieve the situation resulting from a
nationwide shortage of the COM
modify.
The present supply of the Navy,
Secretary Daniels said, vas sufficient
for six months. AS only q three
months surplus usually is kept on
hand, Mr.. Daniels indicated 1t would
be unjust to retain more than hat
amount now when the entire country
is experiencing a shortage.
The Wal Department, however, I'M
like the Navy. has found that its sup
ply was running low, the supply be-
ing AJtimated as barely sufficient to
last until December 10. Quarter
master General Rogers accordingly
wired all zone officers that sales of
sugar to any one person in the SER
vice must be limited to not more than
six pounds a month and to not more
than twenty-four pounds a month for
each family.
Secretary Daniels said he also had
sent message to all ships and sta
tions of the Navy, calling for strict
economy in the use of sugar, as waste
fulness by the Navy, even of it's
abundant supply, would not only be
objectionable, but would reflect dis
credit upon h Navy itself"

TOPIC
FOR FORUM
Charles S. WithrOW Speaker at
MONDAY Event Here

The problems of today and how to
meet them by being thrifty, and the
way to bring hat thrift about was
brought to the attention of the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
today, at the members forum in the
Elks' Lodge, by Charles L. Withrow,
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. Mr.. Withrow spoke on the
subject: THE Paramount Issue Of
Today"
During the forum a few remarks
were made by Fred E. Hilton, man
ager of the Chamber of Commerce,
who announced the results of the ref
erendum just held las to whether or
not the associate members can hold
office. The results follow. Sixty-three
per cent for and thirty-seven per cent
against.
Mr.. Withrow's talk, although going
deeply into the conditions which pre-
vail at the present time dwelt mostly
on the thrift movement which is be-
government, and showed how the only
way to bring the country back to its
proper balance was by thrift.
The speaker pointed out that thrift
is the paramount issue of today. That
it is not a matter Of sentiment nor
of theory. but is a matter of business
in which leading citizens of the coun-
try must assume responsibility and
initiative. 1t is for them to declare
themselves. 1t is for these citizens
to show, the way. He showed hat
leading citizens of the country could
not expect others to practice thrift
unless they are ready and willing to
practice it themselves.
The United States government has
planted the seed of thrift in the
country by the use of the penny saw
ing system in the public schools and
by war stamps N now the govern
ment has issued the treasury saving
certificates for those who want TO
invest more none than is required
by the thrift and war saving stamps.
The treasury certificates are only in
denominations of 500 and $1,000.
These yield interest at the rate of
four per cent, compounded quarter
ly, pointed out the speaker.
Mr.. Withrow tcld of the conditions
in which the country found itself fol
lowing the Civil Wan and stated thai
the panic of 1887 was directly brought
about by that condition. Just as the
country was getting back to the Level
again, the great world wal overlook il
n the country had been forced tc
feed II cloth the world. Money
flowed like water and that unless W.
a bring things back to normal, nc
n knows what the outcome will be
The way to do this is by thrift.
In closing Mr.. Withrow gave those
present a chance to invest in these
certificates, and was informed thai
many at the forum were already mem
! bers of the Government Saving Asso-
citation.
