Big Christmas Party for
the Children

SOUTH AMBOY. Dec. 29:-The
visitation of Santa Claus al the
rooms of the Mechanicsville Hose
Company marked a gala affair for
the children of this section of the
city. At dusk the giant Christmas
tree erected on Raritan street, just
outside the hose company's head
quarters. was set ablaze when hun
-dreds of colored electric lights burst
forth. setting off the entire neigh
borhood.
Long before the scheduled OPEN
ing hour children of all sizes with
and without guardians stationed
themselves at the main entrance so
as not to miss a particle of the en-
tertainment scheduled by this pro-
gressive fire company.
Santa Claus himself appeared
shortly before the time schedule
and Immediately placed the youth
full visitors in formation for en-
trance to the building. The pro-
cession was ushered up a fight of
stairs to the meeting room. where
several professional entertainers
kept the children in an uproar for
nearly ninety minutes.
The program included a Punch
and Judy show and a magician. The
mind that arranged the program
surely touched every little heart in
the place for the wholesome amuse-
men kept all doubled up in laugh
ter.
An accident happened to n Of
the magicians helpers Monday. II

The committee set next Tuesday for hearings on meas ures concerning the repeal of laws under which the county commissioners control excise matters. and. providing for state jurisdiction in. enforcement of the pro- hibition laws. f-t---
 Counsel for salo' c ,epers spoke in fa- vor of the return license holders of the amount of licenses for the unexpired term. B. L. G. Hohenthal. prohibition leader, told the committee that De thought 1t would be fair to return li- cense money of that part of the year in which It was not legal to do a liquor business. provided the saloonkeeper went out of business when prohibition became effective. He was opposed to returning license money to saloorkeeDers who not only kept their places open. but also filed applications for renewal of licenses simply as a protection against prose cution by. the state when federal officers caught them selling liquor.
 Corporation Counsel Bennett of New Haven objected to return of license mon. ey because 1t had been spent by the city Commissioner Ballard of Fairfield ccun tY. flor the commissioners of the state favored return of the balance of iiquo | license money. It was developed tha
