From Near Arcadia Heights.


1t appears that the influenza has
been playing havoc in this locality
during the past two or three weeks.
The condition in Ironton has been
much worse than at any previous
time.
Otto Patterson has been very bad
with influenza, but at this writing he
appears to be getting along nicely.
1t is certainly to be hoped that this
scourge (infuenza) which has caused
so many deaths in the United States
during the past eight months, may
soon run its course and subside, be-
fore claiming any more victims. 1t is
said that, owing to the prevalence of
this disease, the fraternal organiza-
tion known as the Modern Woodmen
of America has been almost bank
rupted, which is to be very much re-
gretted. The. only thing now to re-
instate this noble organization, we
underatand, is to raise the monthly as
sessm ment of its members, which we
are positively certain they will cheer
fully pay.
1t seems that the General Assembly
made fierce pull on the general rev.
enue for the support of the Universi-
ty and Normal Schools. Well, let
them have it. The over burdened
Taxpayers can stand the pressure,
just SO he is sure that the State is get
ting "normal trained" teachers. This
''free tuition" is wonderful thing,
indeed, if we look at the matter from
that angle only.
Last Thursday night your writer
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Kuhn who
live near the White School House,
three miles south of Arcadia, and
stopped over night with them. 1t is
needless to,say that very much en-
joyed my visit, for any one, who
knows Mr.. and Mrs. Kuhn, knows
something Of their hospitality and
their ability to make their guest feel
perfectly at home. They have two
children-Herman and Hazel-who
are far above the average in point of
intelligence. May they live long and
prosper, is the wish Of your CORE
spondent.
1t appears that g. w. Hanson standt
very high in this county, judging from
the large vote he received at the re-
cent school meeting. Your writer
went in three miles from where he ii

day, in order that be might be in Iror

Dates Fixed For Flying Circuses in 9th
District.


One of the great flying circuses of
the greatest flying program the
United States has ever known, to be
offered in connection with the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign, is to
visit the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict and give some wonderful demon
strations of the flying art as develop
ed over the battlefelds of Europe at
four of our leading cities.
The flyers who will take part are
made up of the most daring heroes of
the war from the air service of Amer
lea, Great Britain and France,
specially chosen by their Governments
for this service in the Victory Loan
campaign. The delegation of eight
French flyers to make part of the
great squadron are already on their
way to this country and will probably
be on the ground when this is print
ed.
One of the French flyers has rec
ord of 43 victories over German ad-
versaries. Another made 179 bomb
ing trips over the German lines. Six
will be in the OF party of British flyers
and our government has been assur-
ed by the British government that
they will be the six best flyers de-
veloped during the war.
Among the planes to be used by
the flyers are fourteen German planes
captured by General Pershing's
men, which have landed at New
port News and will be shipped at
once to Washington and turned
over to the Treasury Department
for the period of the Loan campaign.
These German planes are all in splen-
did flying condition and will be used
in all of the flying expeditions. Also
the best types of American planes
developed and constructed during the
war will be part of the squadron, to
demonstrate to the American people
what has been achieved as a result of
their generous response in former
campaigns.
The flyers and planes for the trips
will be under the direction of the
Bureau of Publicity of the Victory
Loan Organization, Frank R. Wilson,
director. The actual flights will be
under the direction of the Military
Aeronautics Branch OF the War De-
partment, with Captain Leon Richard
son in charge.
Each squardon will be carried in a
special train of eleven cars travel
ing at night. Nine end door baggage
cars will be required to carry the
seventeen air planes in each squad
ron. An officer will willprecede each
train, meet local Loan Committees
and make arrangements for landing
fields and the entertainment of the
flyers.
Photographers of the Signal Corps
will accompany each squadron and
take war pictures of each American
city visited.
The general program to be follow
ed in each city visited will be as fol-
lows: Two American Scout planes
will rise to drop Victory Loan litera-
ture over the city. Four German
planes will then attack these two
American planes in the air. Four
American planes will then drive off
the German planes and the flyers will
give demonstrations of aerial aero
battles. Parades will precede the
flights. Citizens will be able to see
the planes unloaded and set up in the
morning and knocked down for ship
ment after the flights.

cry for the great strike in the steel

More Disorder Results Today In Zone System Fight
Woodbridge Would Benefit
More Annexed To This City

The land values and general real
estate and property values In the city
would be scarcely affected by the
combination, Mr.. Spencer said. Ger
tainly the lands would lose none OF
their value and it is doubtful whether
they would show any immediate gain
in value although a gain would prob
ably come later.
That there are exceptions to the
general rule is true. Mr.. Spencer said,
and admitted that in some places the
assessments were higher in Perth
Amboy than In Woodbridge. An ex-
PLANTATION would be found in nearly all
such cases, however, Mr.. Spencer
claimed and said that some kind of
the land was taxed low as marsh
land, dug out clay pits or other land
Of low commercial value.
Most of the land in Woodbridge
township is farming land, although
thare is a considerable portion given
over to clay mining. Large real es-
tate developments have been tried in
many sections of the township.
Unless the costs OF governing tho
combined township and city could be
reduced by cooperation and elimina-
ton, Mr.. Spencer said that he did
not believe that the city tax for the
greater city would be as low as 1886.

cipal item of expense to the township
was the road expense. Woodbridge

likely that the county would continue

as it is against the county policy to

fact that the same conditions will ex-

That the general effect on tax
values and ratables in Woodbridge
township would be beneficial and
that the township tax rate would be
reduced to a much greater proportion
than the city tax rate would be raised
by combination Of the two commu-
mites is the opinion of William Spen-
GER, secretary of the County Board
of Taxation Equalization.
At the present time Woodbridge
assessments average higher for busi-
ness property on a pro rata basis
than the assessments in Perth AM
boy. Assessments In the township are
very high and there are frequent ap-
peals to the county board. In the
city in some instances in the busi-
ness section the buildings and real
estate are assessed very low. Natur-
ally the speculative value of the pro-
street Of that character would be
higher than the assessed values, he
said.
Residential property rates are
about the same in both city and
township, Mr.. Spencer said. Facto-
ries are rated high enough in the
city, he said, and there are few fac
tories of any Importance in the town.
ship to compare with the industries
in this city. Constant appeals have
been received from some of the
Woodbridge factories even at that,
he said.
Conditions in the city have changed
but little in the past few years, only
increase being a ten per cent advance
made last year on all buildings.
While there had been no building of
any account during the war, 1t was
necessary for a slight increase which
was taken up in that way.

lent opposition to the Public Service
zone fare system which has resulted
in considerable disorder among en-
ployes at the Raritan Arsenal, Rari-
tan River Sand Company, Nixon Nj
tration Works and other plants here,
broke out again this morning.
About two hundred men partici-
pated In the rushes this morning and
succeeded in evading the conductors
who were endeavoring to collect
fares. This time 1t was two cars
from New Brunswick which received
the first brunt of the attack, the
cars coming to the plant gate shortly
before 8 o'clock in the morning.
5 According to witnesses the men
left by all kinds of ways this morning
and more went out by way of the
windows than through the doors. The
coductors and motormen were power
1ess to stop the men who outnumbered
them fifty times Windows were
smashed, wire guards torn off the cars
and a cash register on the rear of one
of the tgolleys was knocked from its
setting.
Public Service inspectors and de-
teetives were the only officers of the
law present to prevent disorders and
arneared to be unable to cope with

1t was said at the sheriff's office
today that no requests had been
made by the Public Service Railway
Company to have extra deputies
placed on the cars or stationed at the
arsenal A rumor that several men
had been arrested on charges of
avoiding payment of fares in New
Brunswick was denied today by the
New Brunswick police.
According to the workmen there
were no United States guards at the
trolleys when they stopped.
There appeared to have been little
disposition on the part of the men to
destroy property, most of the broken
windows and bent guard rails having
been caused In their efforts to leave
the car by strange and unusual ways.
Fast line trolleys from Newark to
Trenton were not immune to the at
tacks as previously and this morning
several attempts were made to leave
through the windows of these troll
leys. The men appeared to have the
same success in that direction,
