LEGION POST CONTINUES
TO AID EX-SERvICE MEN

The American Legion Post here
is continuing it's activities in the
behalf of ex-service men where
ever there is room. At last nights
regular meeting in the Y. M. G.. A.
County Commander Raymond Il.
White presented a plan regarding
the securing of the victory medals
which the post has taken up. on
Friday, November 81, a government
representative will be at room 202
Raritan building all through the
day and in the evening, to take ap-
plications. The presentation of the
individual discharge Is necessary,
but will be O. KID in the office SO
that ii will not be sent away as has
heretofore been necessary. The send
ing away of the discharges has been
the greatest factor in the failure to
apply for the Victory medals, and
with the elimination of this phase.
1t is hoped that all ex-service men
of the city who have not yet re-
ceived til cir medals will take adj
vantage next Friday and meet the
government representative.
! Other work that was considered
important by the post was arrangeS
regading the disabled ex-servics tnele
or those who are suffering dfsaBf7-
| ties in any degree as the result OF
| their service. The relief COMMITTEES
| of which William Thompson is
chairman, has arranged 10 take care
of all these cases and will devote as
much time as is necessary TO work.
1t has been found that several of the
local men have hesitated to apply to
the government for treatment and
have paid doctor bills out of their
own pockets for some time. Others
are not aware of the compensation
or treatment they are entitled to,
and this committee is prepared to
take up any case at all and promises
to adjust the conditions where ever
possible.
The next meeting of the post, to
be held December 4, will be the most
elaborate the post has held thus far
The business end will be as short
as possible to make time for the
large program of good entertain
ment that has been arranged. c. II.

WOMEN FAVOR
CITY ABbAT0|R
People Lying in Vicinity of
Slaughter House Loud in
Protests and Urge Change.

There is no doubt left as to how
the residents of the fourth ward
feel about the erection of munich
pal slaughter house. For several
years the residents of this ward
have made complaints to the Board
of Health about the abattoir which
Is now situated in that section and
of late several delegations have
visited City Hall in an effort to have
it removed. The complaints, how
ever, have all come from the tax
payers. or men of that district, but
an EVENING NEWS reporter in
terviewing several of the women
yesterday learned the sentiment of
those who, as housewives, remain
at home the better part of the en-
tire day and know just what the
presence of a slaughter house such
as the present one means.
The women were unanimous in
the condemnation of the present
abattoir, giving specific instances of
untold discomfort caused by its
presence for several years. Mrs.
Joseph Lombardi, of coo New
Brunswick avenue, whose home is
within a hundred yards of the
slaughter house, said that the re-
moval of the present location and
godsend to the district.
Mrs. William Sangenberg. whose
dooryard opens directly into the
rear of the slaughter house, said
that a slaughter house in that part
of the town, kept the way the pres
ent one is. is a thorough disgrace.
Mrs. Sangenberg said that one day
this week she counted no less than
thirty cows that were brought to
the place to be killed and dressed,
several of them remaining alive
over night and causing most hor-
rible stencil. Several pigs also.
which remained alive over night,
caused the neighbors a restless
night because of their screaming and
fighting among themselves. Accord
ing to Mrs. Sangenberg. a municipal
slaughter house Is the only thing for
a community such as this.
Mrs. Olaf Christensen. of SOB
Brace avenue, lives a considerable
distance from the site of nuisance
but has been bothered by it for a
long time. When the wind blows
her way, Mrs. Christensen said. they
might as well live directly beside
the slaughter house. Although sit
uated on a knoll two or three blocks
from New Brunswick avenue, Mrs.
Christensen said that her location
is entirely spoiled in the summer
time by the odors. Mrs. Christensen
said that in the old country every
decent sized city has in it munich
pal slaughter house and insists that
such an institution here will be the
only remedy for the situation.
Mrs. Soren Nielsen and Mrs.
Joseph Convery. both of New Bruins
wick avenue, were loud in their
condemnation of the present place
and although they had no sugges-
tions as to where the new slaughter
house should be situated, thought
that something should be done i'm
mediately to establish a community
