Good Road to Railway

-
ROOSEVELT May 10.-The late
trolley service on Saturday night has
proven to date to be a popular move
on the Part of the Public Service
Railway. Formerly people had to
rush from the theatres TO get the

the recommendation OF the borough
council ct a meeting held in March

the Saturday night one.
But they were unable TO have the
Central Railroad give the borough a
late train from New York as they
claim it did not pay them.
THE Council after many meetings
with Railway officials regarding the
Union County road connecting with
the borough, will be improved, giving
a good road system ron here TO the
Lincoln Highway. Records here show
that more than once has this road
matter come up for discussion re-
garding the good county road in the
borough leading to one of the worst
stretches of bad road in Railway.

HONOR FLAG 4.
FOR MATAWAN
Chairman Lloyd Wires for Flag
as Quota is Sure to Be
Raised
By Special Correspondent.

" bVFNteA 1VffG
MATAWAN, May 10.-Chairman
Frank Howard Lloyd, of the Victory
Liberty Loan executive committed,
last night telegraphed for the honor
flag for this Borough. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting with the captains
of the various teams in borough col
lector, Forman r.. ~Thompson's office,
last night. 1t was found that this bor-
ough lacked just $4,000 in subscrip-
lions to put 1t over the top and in
view of the fact that neither the Mata-
wan Bank or tho Farmers a. Mer-
chants Bank have entered their sub
scriptions as yet, the quota here is
assured.
When the bank subscriptions and
those from many people who are hold
ing out until the last minute are re-
ceived. II is thought hat he quota
will be over subscribed by many thou
sands OF dollars. The borough has been
gifted during this loan, by having n
of the most able organizations OBJ
tainable TO boost the sale of the bonds
here and the fact that Matawan has
finished the last loan successfully is
due to the efforts of the organization
as perfected by Chairman Lloyd.

SPOTSWOoD, May 10:-While
awaiting some repairs to his automo-
bile at the Styles Garage at South
River, several days ago, Frank IL.
Nliet, of this place, noticed a similar
ity between a set of batteries in the
place and those hat some night
worker had stolen from his car at
Spotswood some weeks ago.
The use was put in the hands OF
County Constable Peter Schwei-Kert,
of this place, with the result that
Walter Smith, of Sayreville, twenty
three years of age, has been placed
under $500 bonds by Justice of the
Peace Phineas Bovine following a
hearing held on Thursday at his
office here. William Craemer, of
South River, became surety for the
amount of his bonds. The case is n
of unusual complications and will be
clarified at the hearing before the
present grand jury who have SO many
such cases for their attention at this
term.
For some time past automobile
thieves have been active at this place
as we'll as Jamesburg and one night
several weeks ago the Vliet car was
robbed in the rear of the owners
home n the batteries stolen valued
at S20.
MI. Styles when questioned said
that he did not know the name of the
youth who left the batteries al his
place for recharging and it was on his
cooperation with the officers and Mr..
Vliet that the trap was set for the
arrest OF Walter Smith when he came
TO claim his supposed property.
Smith offered the excuse for the
batteries being in his possession by
the statement hat he purchased the
batteries from a youth al South AM
boy but does not recall the name of
the youth from whom he mad the
purchase.
