THAT MATAWAN CREEK BRIDGE

Prospects for eliminating the detour and get
ting back on the main highway between South
Amboy and Keyport this summer are not very
bright. When 1t was announced that the bridge
over the Matawan creek at Keyport had to be
rebuilt, it was said that work would not be start
ed until after Labor day 30 as not to interfere
with the summer travel to the coast resorts. =
The fact that the road between South Amboy
and Keyport was already closed because of paw
ing work that was going on was no argument, 1t
seems, for rebuilding the bridge at the same time
40 as to have all finished together because it was
announced that the road would be open to Key
port in time for the Fourth of July traffic. Now.
it appears, there il not the slightest chance for
having the road open by the Fourth of July, and
every indication points toward the paving work
keeping the road closed all summer.
But, according to present plans. just about
the time the road is finished and ready for traf-
fc, work will be started on rebuilding the Mata-
wan creek bridge SO that it will be necessary to
use the present detour. about which 80 mucn
fault is found. all through the fall and winter
and possibly next spring as well.
Common sense would dictate that If the road
between South Amboy and Keyport Is going to
be clos ! for paving work all summer, the work
on the bridge might as well be going on at the
same time SO as to make one closing OF the road
do for both. why wait until the paving Is nm
ished before starting on the bridge when the
detour has got to be used anyway?
If the Keyport road is going to be closed the
greater part Of the summer. as it now appears
no time should be lost in starting the work OF
rebuilding the Matawan creek bridge SO as TO
get it finished as quickly as possible and give
the people a chance to go to the shore once
without making some disagreeable detour.

LIVELY CENSORSHIP

D. c. Commissioners to Give
Hearing on Motion Pic +.
lures Tomorrow. -

With sentiment running strong or
both sides or the question. the Com
missioners at = o'clock tomorrow
afternoon will hear arguments for and
against censorship of motion pictures
in Washington.
During the three weeks that have
elapsed since announcement was made
that the Comm issioners would hold a
public hearing. censorship has been
debated pro and con in citizens or
ganizations. women's clubs. business
bodies and fraternal gatherings.
The motion picture men. IL is ex-
pected. will contend that the existing
hibitions or entertainments of any
kind are ample to protect the people
from improper pictures.
Insist Regulation Needed.
Some of those who plan to attend
the hearing viii argue that these reg
ulations are not sufficient They will
present a long list Of types Of scenes
which they believe should be entirely
eliminated from films.
The District k;ATSnent of the
American Legion Was placed on record
as strongly opposed to censorship OF
the movies in A letter sent to Com
/ missioner Hendrick yesterday by Col.

mander.
After quoting resolution adopted
by the District department of the

opposing Sunday blue laws and simi-
lar legislation. Col. Drain wrote the
Commissioners as follows

II am informed that efforts are be-
ling made to secure action by your hon

DIES OF BULLET WOUNDS.
Negro Succumbs in Hospital After
Alleged Bootleg Deal.

Harry Parker, colored, thirty-three
years old, 1851 Sherman avenue. who
received two bullet wounds in his
body Friday night. following an al
legged bootleg transaction, died at
Freedmen's Hospital last night about
$3.50 o'clock. When Parker was taken
to the hospital he told the police he
had been shot by an unidentified white
man while walking along r street
between 9Th and 10th streets. Later
he changed his story and admitted
the shooting followed a liquor deal
in which he appeared in the role of
purchaser.
1t was when he was about to enter
the home of George Johnson, a col
ored companion, 1912 Covington
street, that several shots were fired
at him, two striking him.

his friends as "Blinky," is one of the
