WOMEN INVITED
To HEAR JOHNSON
California Presidential Candi-
date Will Address Large
Meeting Here Saturday.

With further assurances received
this morning from the Senator Hiram
w. Johnson campaign headquarters
In Newark that the Republican pres
idential candidate would positively
appear here personally to address
the meeting which will be held in the

thusiastic over the prospects of one

held in Perth Amboy. A band has
been hired. seating facilities for
$500 have been arranged and as q
special invitation is extended to the
women to attend this meeting, rec
ord crowd is expected by the COM
mittee arranging the meeting.
The meeting is scheduled to open
at O'Clock and If Senator johnson
speaks as long as is customary with
him it will not be until o'clock that
his address will be completed. Owing
to the fact that many were disap-
pointed upon his failure to appear
here about two weeks ago and the
New Brunswick hall in which he
spoke on that night was not suffl-
ciently large to hold the crowd, 1t is
believed that residents from all parts
of the county Will invade this city
Saturday afternoon in order to hear
Senator Johnson give his America

To ALTER
ORPHANS HOME
City to Remodel Fords Building
and Convert it Into Orphan
age for Thirty Children.

Tentative plans are now being
drawn up for the conversion of the
old Hezekiah Durham property at
Fords, which was purchased by the
Perth Amboy Board of Aldermen last
fall. into an orphanage which will
accommodate thirty children. An in
spection of the building and grounds
was made vest erday by Alderman-at-
Large John N. Wester and several
members of the board. Owing to the
steady increase In the prices being
charged the city by the state orphans
home at Trenton for the care aRd
maintenance of children sent from
to make the new building tenantable
as soon as possible. A bond issue
will be necessary TO defray the cost
of altering and adding to the Fords
building.
The property, according to the all
dermen who visited the building yes
terday, is located in an ideal spot and
with three or four acres offers plen-
ty of room in 5which-to enjoy fresh air
and sunshine. The city Is now paying
the state SIC per child per month TO
care for the Perth Amboy orphans
and last month over 500 was expend-
ed by the city for clothes for these
children, this being In addition to the
board.
As soon as the tentative plans Tor
|remodeling are completed the matter
will placed before the entire board
for action. At present the building has
ten rooms. The purchase price of the
building was 20 200 but just what the
alterations will cost is not known al
yet
1t is proposed to have large ward
in which the children will sleep, a
large assembly hall and dining room,
thus doing away with many of the
lrooms now in the building and max
ing three large rooms. Accommoda
tions will also be made for the super
intendent's quarters at the home. SAM
tary plumbing of the building with
shower-baths is proposed.
The aldermen figure that by con-
Quoting this orphanage for the city's
parentless children, the cost will be
less than under the present system
whereby the state is paid for their
board and clothing. 1t is understood
that "a Ladies' Auxiliary to the Or
phan's Home would be organized In
this city and the matter of supplying
clothes for the children looked after
by this body who would secure them
as donations from residents here. The
Woman's Club, it is reported, has al
ready talked over such a plan.
