ON COUNTY
BASKETBALL LEAGUE
AT GATHERING HERE

A meeting of the proposed basket
ball league representatives was held
in conjunction with a dinner at he
Elks' Club last night and eight teams
nae spokesman present, they being
the Aeromarine Five of Keyport, the
Separate Five of T~ottenville, the Du-
pont Five of Parlin, the Sterlings of
South River, and the knights of st.
Peter of New Brunswick, along with
the Y. NJ. c., Goodwill-Arrows and
Auditorium teams of this city. A
representative from each team Will
form the governing board of the
league.
All of the teams represented with
the exception of the Knights of st.
Peter and the Dupont team are sure
of entering the league. The repre-
sentatives Of these two teams have
to make a return report to their
clubs, but their joining the league is
believed assured. With eight teams
ready to start the league and the
Michelins, PAGER Big Five and a
number of other good teams that can
be secured, this league should GER
tainly be successful.
Various matters were talked e
in an open meeting, then a commit
tee of five was named to prepare
rules, regulations and other matters
necessary for the starting of the
league. On this committee Chairman
Booz named Messrs. Ladeucer, Fitz-
patrick, Belts, Sullivan and Maleslkie-
A number of governing rules n
regulations were talked yer and de-
clded on and another meeting of this
committee will be held in the Audi
forum on Saturday night before the
game.
In order that the teams will work
harder to win the league it was de-
cided that the winner Of first place
and perhaps one or two other posi-
tions will secure some sort of a
trophy. Some Of the teams repre-
sented have clubrooms while other
teams do not have a clubroom. For
this reason 1t was planned that a
trophy be given to each player OF
the winning teams. A small basket
ball was decided on as a likely tro-
ply, the first team members each to
secure a gold basketball, the second
team members a silver basketball,
and third members q bronze basket
ball.
To secure money to cover the pur-
chasing of certain trophies, various
ways of meeting the expense, were
talked over. A dance was decided on,
although q smoker was favored by q
number of local representatives. A
dance committee was then chosen by
Chairman BOoz and consisted OF
Messrs. Conquest, Kennedy, Peterson,
Sher and Stein. ]. F. Kennedy of the
Chamber of Commerce was chosen
Chairman of this committee and a
dance to be held January 28 in the
Auditorium was decided upon.
AS an added attraction to the dance,
two basketball teams consisting OF the
best players in the league, viii be
chosen and a basketball game Will be
played. This game should aid in
bringing out a crowd that would not
come for the dance. By running off
this dance and basketball game, the
league expenses should certainly be
made and q great deal of advertising
will be done In order to make this
night a success.

DU POINTS WON GAME FROM
PAGER BIG FIVE BY POINT

The game between the PAGER Big
Five and the DUPONT basketball
team, played last week at Parlin re-
suited IN a 32-31 victory for the pow
der works. Since the game there have
been numerous conflicting reports re-
ceived at the NEWS Office but the de-
cision OF Referee Berse in allowing
the winning foul goal to count, gave
the DuPonts the game. This was the
first game which the PAGER All Stars
lost and they had playing with them
in this contest two Riverside men,
bers. although Bob Handerhan, one
of their cracks YVES not with them.
A return game Is probable owing to
the %closeness of the game.

FROM OMAR HAMILTON.

Inc following letter was received by Miss Elesin McFadden of Beede- ville from o. o. Hamilton, who is in the naval air service. The letter was written before the armistice was 1iend:
 Don't let this surprise you, but gen. tly remind you that am five or six thousand miles from home and friends.
 Will say this is great life over here if you don't weaken. There is not much to look forward to except tho end of the war and mail day. It has been raining during the past two or three days, and the mud here is something like the mud around Beede- vile, and they say it rains most of the time during the winter and 4pring months. Although we think we have hard time, the boys in the trenches have it harder, and l will have to take back seat any time for one of them. We have entertainments here at the station gotten up by the boys. A jazz band was down from Brest Saturday night and we had a dance in the mess hall. We had 20 Red Cross nurses with us, but there were of course more boys than girls. These French people do not know what dance is. They spend most of their time around the wine shops.

ROAD BUILDING.
.u revoir,
 Omar.

The program of the State Highway Commission for the ensuing two years is most ambitious one, and is in keeping with the attitude of the Federal Government toward this all important phase of public improve ment.
 The total number of miles of road of all kinds constructed during the 1917-18 season is 1,009, at an approx innate cost of $5,846, ,685.66. During the same period, surveys were made for 3,461.35 miles of road, the approx innate cost of the proposed projects being $1S,OOO,OOo.
 Referring to the program for the years 1919-2O, State Highway Com missioner w. B. Owen says:
 "OT account of the unsettled condi- tion resulting from the cessation of war and our return to peace we are at this time unable to determine just what we will be able to do during the next biennial period of 1919-20, but from all indications we feel sure that 3,115.62 miles of road will be im- proved, at an approximate cost of $14 ,299 ,066.02. These figures may and we hope will be increased but we are of the opinion that they will not be de- creased. However, this will be known only when conditions are settled and we are able to secure such data as will justify an estimate of possible and probable improvements.
 Speaking of the 1918 program, MT. Owen says: 'sThe sentiment for good roads became so strong and good road enthusiasts harmoniously worked so hard that the year 1918 promised to be a banner year for road improve ments. In the beginning of this year our program included 2500 miles at an estimated cost of $15,000,000. No other state with an equal population
 area, not counting valuations. came anywhere near us, and only three states, regardless of size, were able to exceed us in this line of pro- gress. The carrying out of this pro- gram was progressing very favor ably until the declaration of war, after which the Government required the undivided resources of the state and country, and road building. like everything else, had to take back seat in order that we might win the world for democracy"
