Adney r. Tuell Road Commissioner
THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS RAISED
FOR OUTSTANDING BILLS.

About twenty-five voters Of Paris
assembled for the special town meeting
Of Saturday afternoon. One OF them
was a woman. Deputy Town Clerk
Stanley NJ. Wheeler called the meeting
to order, and Walter L. Gray was elected
moderator.
Under the second article the sum OF
$500 was raised to pay outstanding
snow bills, the treasurer was authorized
to borrow that amount, and the assess
ors were instructed to place IL In the
assessment for 1921. The opinion was
expressed by the selectmen that the
amount would be sufficient.
Under the third article q motion was
made to raise $1,000 for outstanding high
way bills, under the same conditions,
This caused some discussion. Road
Commissioner n. A. Cummings asked
what old bills had been paid by the
selectmen from the 1920 appropriation
um of S774.09. Mr.. Cummings asked
if the selectmen could pay back bills out
Of the appropriation for this year, sn6
the moderator replied that that would
depend upon the form of the vote rails
ing the money, but the records were mol
at hand to show the form Of the vote
Mr.. Cummings expressed the opinion
that the road commissioners should have
the expenditure of the amount raised,
but Moderator Gray assured him that on
ly the selectmen had authority to draw
orders on the treasurer, and they could
do as they saw at about referring the
bills to the road commissioners. The
motion to raise the money was finally
carried.
A motion to have the report Of the
special valuation committee printed was
mace by o. <. Clifford under the fourth
article. Some opposed the motion on
the ground Of the expense, and the
motion was lost.
The resignation of Charles R. Briggs
as road commissioner was accepted un-
der the last article in the warrant, and q
ballot taken for his successor. There
was no choice, Charles r. Briggs having
votes, Adney r. Tuell l, and Bert
Jackson /. On the second ballot Adney
r. uell was elected, having votes to

Ernest Thompson Seton, naturalist
and author, is going to transplant the
Maine woods to Broadway. He is now
trying out on the vaudeville stage an
original act which Is calculated to give
city jewellers touch of the real woods
and the inhabitants thereof. It is de.
scribsd by New York critic as follows:
The certain is lowered for few mo-
ments and rises again, disclosing scene
In the Maine woods, With full moon
sending Its bright rays through the
branches of the trees. The huntsmsn
appears, and, without any mechanical
assistance or appliances, peoples the
woods with wild animals, revealed only
by their cries. The boot owl soreeches,
reveliug in the moons rays. The she
fox on the hilltop barks and receives an
answering signal from her mate In the
valley below. The wild duck cries from
overhead, and then the moose calls.
That Is the signal for the hunter. BE
picks up bis rifle and fires. The imits-
lions of the animals are all done by Mr..
Seton and are said to make the eyes of
seasoned old hunters bulge equally with
those of 10. year old small boys.

BETTER CABLE AND SHIPPING
TO SOUTH AMERICA, URGED
By The Associated Pres,

bV fHe SNoctutcd ITeSS
LONDON. April 2O.-Increasod
cable facilities and the establishment
of regular. fast passenger and freight
points along the American coasts
down to Beunos Aires are two Of
the most important matters to which
North and South Americans should
give their attention. Edwin A. Nor
gan, United States ambassador to
Brazil, told The Associated Press
representative here on the eve of his
departure for Rio de Janefro.
Business men in the United States
find they are greatly handicapped in
the conduct of their South American
interest through the i~nadequacy OF di-
rect cable and steamship facilities"
said Mr.. Morgan. There has been
much discussion of this matter and,
happily. some improvement has been
effected and others are now under
way. But North American business
men still regard with trepidation a
voyage from New York to Rio. And
he has somewhat the same fears over
sending goods by the same route.
British, Italian. French and Dutch
companies have always provided more
speedy. convenient and regular ocean
transport facilities than those of the
North or South American lines.
The need is not for services bet
ter than those provided from this
side, but for services equally as good.
The matter is of sufficient importance
to require the finding of a solution
OF difficulties now in the way"
Ambassador Morgan breaches a
gospel Of get together" to Ameri-
cans and Englishmen who have South
American holdings.

BY "a group of Boston, M~etropohtau

forts of Rev. Columbino Galassi OF
the Holy Rosary church these splen-
did artists were secured under the
leadership of Messrs. s. Avitabile, a
of note who is a
of the Royal Conservatory OF MUSIC
of Naples.
The chorus of tw~enty-four Metro
politau singers was especially fine IN
the scene from 'Pagliacci' where
the villagers OF Cslabria meet the
group of strolllng players. r.. Zenelh

played the Intermezzo. from "CaVal-

Such performance as this has never
before been presented in this. city and
demonstrated very well how greatly
the Perth Amboy public appreciates
anything of this nature. The crowd
ed house and the liberal curtain calls
demonstrated quite clearly that opera
IS more than welcome to the music
lovers here. Great credit is due Rev.
Galassi through whose efforts this
troupe was secured.
