STOCKTON ST.
OPENING URGED
Residents of South Amboy
Favor Project City Council
is Likely to Act

SOUTH AMBOY. Sept. 27:-Resi-
dents of Stockton street as well as
many of the people in general are
looking with favor on the project OF
opening Stockton street to Augusta
street. 1t has been pointed out to
the city council that the improve
men would amount to very little as
the opening of the street will only
entail the purchase of n property
on Augusta street.
The opening of Stockton street mas
been under consideration for sever
al wears but with little done toward
this md, 1t is understood that the
present council will take the matter
up in a short time.
stockton street begins at Main
street, running south to the property
of Edward O'Leary in Augusta
street. The residents in this section
claim that several properties in this
section serve as a thoroughfare to
pedestrians who eliminate the rouno
about way by cutting through at
their convenience.
If Is also pointed out thai the

MAKE PROTESTS
TO ASSESSMENT
INDIGNATION Aroused Meet
ing of Metuchen Social
to be Held on Project

METUCHEN, Sept. 27:-1ndigna-
tion aroused among certain OF the
property owners along Main street
over the assessment proposed by
Mayor Wilson to cover the cost OF
the paving of that thoroughfare has
come to a head with the calling of a
public meeting of the South Metuch-
en- Social and Civic Club tomorrow
night when a plan of action in re-
gard to the matter is expected to
develop.
Mayor Wilson's plan calls for h
formation of an assessment commis-
sion which will tax each property
pwner along the affected street in
proportion to the relative increase in
The valuation of his property at the
completion of the paving. The
amount yet to be raised after the
above method had been employed
would be raised with the general tax
htion by the mayors plan. Mayor
Wilson's contention is that the in
creased valuation Of the affected
property will greatly exceed n
amount of the assessments.
The mayors announcement OF n
IDOY6 pldI dL tic pupiiS
held on September Z at the Edgar
school came as a complete surprise
to many Of the residents Of the bor-
pugh, it is said. The understanding
np to that time had been that n
property owners would be assessed
for the cost of the curbing only and
that the major portion of the cost,
excluding the share of the Public
Service Railway Company, would be
met by general taxation. This i'm
preston was given the committee
representing one hundred petitioners
for the improvement Of the street
atthe meeting of the borough coun,
rif when the petition was presented
for consideration by that body.
Feeling the necessity for prompt
action in the matter a demand for
full knowledge of the facts was
made by interested members at the
last meeting of the civic association
and the meeting is the result of the
agitation started at that time.

Mr.. Bowser had been walking the

shoes brought to light, but as he
looked at them terrible frown came
to his face and he almost shouted
out:
"Shoes! Shoes! Nv shoes! These
are not my shoes! They are shoes
belonging to some mOrtHr-miXer and
there Is plaster on them! My shoes
are number seven, while these are
certainly number ten. Who took these

"There Is no of course about It!

right down in a chair until you had

"But the boy said they were yours"
persisted Mrs. Bowser.
"But what II he did say D." shouted
Mr.. Bowser. "You ought to know that

And Mr.. Bowser tramped, tramped
down the hall, and passed out into
the autumn night. The moon lowered
over his head as he walked, and the
stars winked at him. but he walked

midnight before he sneaked back home
and crept softly into bed to dream how
he would murder the cobbler as soon
