And MetuChen Paving

that the heavy road is an unneces-
sary expense and that a lighter con-
crete should be laid.
Another hitch in the program as
IL stands now is the double contract
under which the w~arrenite was to
have been laid. The original plan was
for the freeholders to pay for the
center of the road. laid under one
contract. while the borough stood
for the expense of the sides of the
roadway. including the curbing; this
TO be done under a second contract.
Now that the concrete type has been
decided upon it is felt by the bor-
ough hal two contracts for the job
will tie up matters in an unnecessary
way and hat the entire work should
be done under n contract.
This one contract program was
also agreeable to the Borough of
Freeholders. but doubt as to the
legality of the proposition was ex-
pressed at the last meeting. 1t is
expected that County Solicitor Fred
erick Richardson will settle the le-
gality question at the meeting this
afternoon SO hat the paving work
may so ahead at once.

by the local forest of the Tall Ce-
dars of Lebanon and offered two
different programs at the matinee
and evening performances.
The afternoon program consisted
of eight numbers with almost as

The house was well filed at night.
the appreciative audience calling for
encore after encore. The solo last
last night was rendered by Principal
Musician Arthur s. Witcomb. His
mastery of the cornet was soon APP
parent. Several novelty numbers
were presented including the sex
tette from Lucia" played by two
comets, two trombones and two
baritones. A short humming. whistl-
ing and singing Moore was unique
and we'll rendered. Two typical mil
itary marches were played as en-
cores.
Next to the demand for a visit
from a President on a speaking tour
is the demand from various cities

The resumption a year ago of the
Marine Bands custom of making a
brief annual tour was regarded as
an evidence of the return to nor
malcy. Extraordinary interest at
to the tour among the men
themselves as well as on the part
of the public. Leader VIM. II. San
lehman has made it his great pur-
pose to have the members of the
Marine Band free to make music
their life work as he has made IT
his own, and to make its express
sion worthy of a national taste
which though ~forbearing in it's re-
proof of deficiencies, where the in
tention is good, is yet keenly criti-
cal and enthusiastic in its a%pprecia-
ton OF what is genuinely fine.
Every tour of the L. S. Marine Band
has proved a series of ovations: a
recognition on the part of audiences
not of high intention alone. but of
actual achievement. Not only has
Leader Santelman set a standard
for the American musical performer
but he has afforded encouragement
whose value cannot be over esti-
mated to the American composer.
