WASSER TELLS so. AMBOY
SOMETHING ABOUT SNOW
lBy Evening News Correspondent

SOUTH AMBOY, March eff
you don't like the way we do it, do
1t yourself. This was the sentiment
of a letter received from the State
Highway Department signed by the
engineer. I. ]. Wasser. This letter
was in answer to a communication
from the council protesting against
the method used in snow removal.
1t was pointed out at the last meet
Ing of the council that after the
street commissioner had cleaned the
street crossings of snow the state
highway pillow came along and
blocked the street up once more.
The letter OF the council requested
hat in the future. when the cross
ings had been cleared, that the
highway commission avoid If posi-
Bile the piling of snow up again.
The reply last night politely stat
ed that "if South Amboy did not de-
sire to continue on the Highway
COMMISSIONS snow removal sched-
ule just a letter to that effect would
settle the matter once and for ALL"
The letter continued to say that it
was impractical to do what the city
requested. Upon a motion by Coun-
Gilman Shuey the communication
was received and filed.

other bus lines from running
through the borough or not. The
matter was referred to Borough At

port to the proper authorities.

ing of February 2S, when the fol-
lowing was the result: Chief w.

understanding and the matter will
be referred to the borough attorney

FORns WANTS
APLAYGR0QND
Urge Recreation Center for
Young People = Board of
Education Aids Move.

tBy Evening News Stan Correspondent
FORDS, March 9.-vThe question
of establishing a playground for the
children. which vas urged by many
persons in this place last year, is
again being discussed. The people,
who are greatly in favor of provid-
ing a place for the children to spend
their play hours during vacation
days. are of the opinion that some
steps should be taken by the Board
of Education in acquiring a piece
of ground for this purpose.
1t is known at this time that in
the near future a new school will
have to be built in this section. as
the present school is filled to capa-
city and its is believed that in April
some of the classes will be put on
part time again when some new pu-
pills are enrolled. Some of the class
es are larger than others. but wen
with the new addition there will not
be enough oom for all, Ii is stated.
Melvin II. Clum. a member of the
Board of Education, has advocated
a new school, as he finds hat in a
short time the present school will
not take care of all the pupils even
on part time. Mr.. CIum put the
matter before the board for consid-
Grafton some time ago.
In view of the fact that a new
school will have to be erected here,
1t is thought hat a piece OF ground
should be bought at once large
enough to accommodate a play
ground and school house. 1t is also
thought that as long as ground will
have to be purchased sooner or later
some steps should be taken to &C.
quire title to the site selected so that
o playground IA be built this year.
Those in favor of this move have
suggested that the playground be
so arranged that 1t will also be a
benefit to the general public. They
believe that 1t should be made into
a park or public place where COM
immunity events could be held in the
summer time.
At the time of the children's
field meet in the early fall of last
year it was suggested that a piece of
ground on upper Ford Avenue be
purchased for a new school, and as
this section is spreading out hat d.
rection the site mentioned Is the
logical place at this time.
The general plan of the play
ground. it is believed. should pro-
vide fora regulation baseball dia-
mond. two tennis courts. a cinder
foot race track and the equipment
that usually goes with a playground
for the use of children. In this way
the general public would be benefited
by the move to establish tome sort
of place for amusement for the
children here.
