To START WORK
ON 1921 BUDGET.
First Action Will be Taken by
Board of Aldermen Mon
day Night; Increase Likely

Work on the 1921 budget will be
started by the aldermen at their
meeting next Monday night, 1t be-
ing the general belief that the
figures will be well over the $1,000
600 mark. If the building of new
school is included in the 1921 bud
get, together with allowances for
increases in salaries to the police.
street department and other city
employees. a considerable jump Is to
be expected. 1t is impossible at
present to secure from the aldermen
any estimate as to how much the
1921 budget will exceed the 1920
figures.
The 1920 budget figures were
$1.114,741.45. an increase of $240,-
1898 over the 1919 budget. There
is no hope expressed that next years
appropriations will be less than
those made this year, owing to the
increases in the various departments
caused by the increased price of
materials. labor and wages.
The school appropriation is big
item in the budget and 1t is expect
ed that the Board of Education will
request an amount sufficiently large
to include the erection Of a new
school.

With the books still open and
several sources yet to be heard from,
Red Cross roll call chairman. Henry
$. Hulse, Jr., announces today that
the quota of 1000 memberships has
already been reached and $S,312 has
been deposited to the credit of the
local chapter as the result OF the
drive which was a part of the fourth
national roll call. This incomplete
total is most gratifying to the offic-
ials here and much credit is due the
large band of workers who worked
untiringly for two weeks under the
supervision of the various heads of
the departments. Although 1t had
not been spoken of the successful
outcome of the campaign was rather
doubtful before it's start as 1t was
not known how popular the peace
time program was with the people,
and the reaction of the war activities
was given as another reason for the
anticipated waning interest. The
'over the top" campaign here, how

WATER ACTION
IN WOODBRIDGE
Fords, Keasbey and Hope
lawn Situation Taken up by
Perth Amboy Water Board

by Special Correspondent.
TORDS, Nov. ga communica-
tion from the Perth Amboy Water
Board has been received by the
township committee, with regards to
the water question in Hopelawn and
Keasbey, which is now before the
Woodbridge Water commissioners
for consideration and action. 1t is
the aim of the water committee to
investigate the cost per year to the
residents and the assessment to be
made for the laying of the mains.
They are desirous of getting this
matter settled, so that work on the
mains can be begun as soon as pos
sibc.
Several months ago 1t was said
that Perth Amboy could not help in
the ccst a. the construction of the
water syslem. The people of Hope
lawn rejected the proposition on ac-
count of the high assessment. How
ever, that present plan is the only
relief and solution of the water
question and will bring an end to
the difficulties of residents on water
supply in this section.
The Perth Amboy Water Board
proposes in this communication to
furnish water at "a cost of $4,000
for the construction of the mains,
that at least 175 residents
used water and that twenty hydrants
be installed at a yearly assessment
of $25 to the township. 1t was esti-
mated by the Perth Amboy board
that it would cost the consumer
about $S3 per year for water from
the new system, which would be de-
creased each year for several years.
The Township Committee was not
satisfied with the estimates OF in
dividual cost. and on the advice of
the township engineer it was learned
that the water rate could be reduced
to $21 the first year, and the second
year it would be decreased to $14. 1t
is believed by the township officials
that such an arrangement could be
made in regards to water tax. and
Committeeman Hoy and Larsen,
representing this end of the town
ship are working along these lines.
They expressed their opinion that
very effort would be made to get
water as soon as possible, and that
they did not see why the yearly rate
should not be lowered

BANDITS HOLD UP MANY
CARS BOUND TO AlTIMORE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-Night
after night gangs OF bandits with
guns halt motorists on the roads
leading in and out of Washington
and search the cars for whiskey. On
several occasions shots have been
fired when driver refused to stop.
So stirred have the residents along
the WashingtonB Baltimore. Boule-
ward become that an appeal has
been sent to Governor Richie of
Maryland for a detail of national
guardsmen to guard the pike.
Police are aware that thousands
of cases of whfskey are being snug
gled into the district and it is be-
lieved that the road agents are in
search of the cars used, so the gun
men stop all cars, not hesitating to
shoot when the drivers fail to obey
orders.
The bandits use n high-powered
car. One of their favorite plans is
to wait until a single car is on the
road, then drive alongside and force
the car to stop. One of the number
usually keeps the occupants covered
with a gun while the remainder
search the car.
