SOUTH AMbOY
Petition of Board of Health to.
Cause This Action to be
Taken by Common Council
IBy Evening News Correspondent

kOUTH AMBOY, May 1S-Steps
taken by the common council last
night would indicate that the city
Will soon have a coming law. This
Is the outcome of a petition from
the Board of Health on this matter.
For the past few months the board
has been making an effort to regu-
late and restrict Junk yards in the
city, but have at last concluded that
the only manne to protect all of
the people is by such a coming and
building law.
When the communication was re-
cieved at the council last night a
motion was made by Councilman
Lovely that the matter be referred
to the city solicitor. city engineer
and council as a whole. There was
not a dissenting vote.
Another communication from the
Board of Health requested Informal
ton as to whether the city had va

City solicitor and council as a whole.
In the matter of application of
Plight families of Feltus street for
gas service. a communication was
received from Mr.. Housell, the local
agent, stating that # the applicants
would make the customary deposit
service would be given, but they
must make a deposit of n hun
and forty-two dollars. In the
estimation of Councilman Kvist it
unjust to the people of this
section of the city. He pointed out
that their neighbors were all being
served by gas and did not have to
make the deposit for five years as is
now demanded. On a motion by
him the communication was re-
ceived and referred to the city So
licitor with instructions to take it
up with the Board of Public Utilities
for investigation.
A communication from the fire
wardens of the city requested the
city to III to be removed several
properties that we're a fire
to the city. Included among the
buildings was the old fire house on
Broadway. Councilman Shuey Of
fered a motion that the clerk COM
municate with the various property
owners demanding that the proper
ties be removed or the city would
so at the expense of the individ-
ual property owners The motion
put and carried. The question
was then raised as to whether MS
included the fire house on Broadway
and the councilman was informed
that it did. He then suggested that
it would be better to wait until some
new location for the fire truck could
be found before tearing down the
old building. The revised motion
did not include the fire house.
Contrary to previous declarations
the council confirmed two new
members to the fire department last
night. At a recent meeting the de-
cision was reached that the only

ceeds in charity and unselfishnesI
that of the Salvation Army.
This great organization seeks to
raise the sum of 1857, 900. for its
home department work here in New
Jersey, and the response of New Jer-
sey citizens to their appeal must soon
be made.
There are many of us who can re-
member in the early days of the
army's existence. the general thought
that the men and women composing
this organization were simple fan
atics, and guided by no great under
lying impulse. Their songs and tam
b%ourines excited more amusement
than anything else"

Councilman Stanton objected TO
three bills made by r. f. Carroli d
Co. the city's auditors. He stated
hat he was under the impression
that all work has to be done for the
sum of $3.50 and now the extras

the bills the clerk stated that the
first was for the sum of $141.02 for
closing the city's books for the year
1920. The former city treasurer re-
fused to do this and as the commits
sioner of accounts demanded that
the financial statement be filed. An
other bill for $2,142 was for Ming
the financial statement with the
commissioner of accounts and the
third was for the purpose of making
a "cost sheet" for the water works
