to the attention of the board men,

S. Dey who. in referring to the two
trenches opened on the road be-
tween the Perth Amboy city line
and Rogan's corner, the thorough
fare on which SS5,0O0 was expended
last spring, said:
when the application was made
for permission to lay water mains
under this road a few weeks ago l

XMAS CELEBRATION AT
FIRST M E. CHURCH

The congregation of the First M. E.
church fand many outside friends
have learned to look for treat at
the Christmas exercises every year,
, as much as the children do. But while
the children expect their treat from
Santa Claus in the shape of candy
bags, and fruit and toys from the
beautifully decorated tree, and they
are never disappointed, the elders look
for something especially nice in en-
tertainment and they too, are never
disappointed
The committees in charge are chang
ed from year to year but the thorough
drilling and the quality of the pro-
ductioE, due to the many pretty vol
ces, the attractive and melodious mu-
steal numbers are ever the same in
merit.
This year the committee was Mrs.
Elder, Miss Myrtice Corley and Mr..
Ray Frey.
The .cantata was called the Spirit
OF Christmas and those taking active
part were Mr.. Herman Wentz, as San
ia Claus; Miss Ruth Martin as Mrs.
Santa, Evelyn Brown as the poor mo-
Their, Matte Fletcher and Otto Hall
as the poor children, Katherine Frey.
G c. Mccoy and little Francis Elder
as the rich children; Percy Trip as
aviator; and Edna Billiard, reindeer
hostler.
The scenes were six in number and
preceded by two splendid choruses
of which the star figure was little
Floyd Eads, Jr, who carried uncon-
sciously the role of comic end man to
the evident amusement of the entire
audience. Mr.. Frey and daughter
Katherine gave as prelude a pretty
piano duet called the Herglude with
Sleigh Bell accompaniment.
At the end of the delightful pro,
gram collection was taken for poor
children of the world, to be admins
tered by the centenary committees Of
