URGES ACTION
At So. ANBOY
Citizen of MaxviIIe Section
Aims to Cause Better Con-
ditions and Pleads for Help

SOUTH AMBoY. March rs
Some of more progressive citizens of
Maxville or Gordon Heights section
of the city are anxious to assist the
Chamber of Commerce and the city
council to bring conditions in that
section up to standard. In order to
bring this about the following let
ter has been sent to citizens of that
section:
Mr.. Citizen:
we all recognize that 1t Is hu-
man to err and that most of us, as
a general thing, are more open to
criticism for the things we do not
do than for those we really do. In
view of this fact 1t is 20 be hoped
that no criticism will be construed
as hereby aimed at the acts or fail
ures to act by the various adminis-
trations of our city fathers in the
past. Rather, we hope. 1t will be
viewed as an earnest attempt to vol
unfairly assist the present governing
body.
"A few citizens and taxpayers Of
this. your city, recognize that one
of the chief contributing causes of
the present state of affairs is a nat
ural hesitancy on the part of the
average citizen to take an active
part in the civic affairs and have,
therefore taken 1t upon themselves
to take the initiative in a matter
which affects the city in general, but
The Gordon Heights or Maxville Sec
ton, in particular, expecting as
their reward that which is generally
accorded to the average public Of
ficial-and other meddlers-which
is-a small measure of apprecia-
ton, some opposition, more or less
dissatisfaction with their efforts
and accomplishments, a great deal
of criticism, and-the satisfaction
of the performance of the just duty
of a citizen.
1T is to be hoped. Mr.. Taxpayer,
that you are familiar with the exist
ing conditions in the fire depart
ment OF the city in which you live.
Such being the case will you, as one
of those selected by lot from
amongst the names of all the regis
tered voters of the fourth ward,
lend your cooperation for the ben
eft of us all by seriously consider
ing and then answering the follow
ing questions:
AN effort is thus being made to
secure the opinion of some sixty res
Replies will be held confidential as
far as possible and their tabulation
will furnish a clear idea as to what
the concensus of opinion is on the
matter in hand. Then the self-con-
stituted committee can, and will be
governed in strict accordance with
the wishes of the majority-wheth-
er said wishes lead to the further
ance of the proposition-or the
dropping of the whole matter.
Are you in on 1t with us?"
Then the questions-twelve In
number-are attached. If the re-
sponse is given this body of public
spirited men the city will benefit for
their efforts and their guidance and
counsel will be an asset to the city.

Heavy Sales Force
 100 Stocks To New
 Low Selling Marks

NEW YORK, June II- Financial markets were in commotion this week
 Selling for both accounts and from many quarters forced more than 100 stocks to lowest prices for the year Among steels, equipments, oils, ship pings and sugars, minimum quota tions for two to three years and more were established. Rails alone show ed some steadiness on relatively mod crate liquidation
 Deflation, attended by confusing movements in the leading commodity markets, resulted primarily from fro zen credits, dividend omissions or re- ductions and adverse industrial con ditions.
 The fewest thrilled orders for more than two years were disclosed in the May tonnage reported of the United States Steel corporation.
 Pig iron production fell to the low est rate in more than 20 years and price cutting. in the basic industries became more general
 A disqu' citing development for which convincing explanation was lacking was the slump in foreign ex- change. In disinterested circles, the theory that this originated mainly from Germany's indemnity payments was accepted with reserve.
 Assurances by bankers that few if any new loans to Europe would be made the rest of this year directed renewed attention to railroads finan- cial requirements. The opinion was expressed that in the next months. many junior roads would be put to their severest test in the last decade.
 Perceptible relaxation Of money rates was shown, but conservative banking interests believed interest and discount rates would hold at pres ent quotations, pending drastic liqui- dation of grain and cotton loans at western and southern centers.
