MISS MOUNT To Be MADE
JAMESBURG POSTMISTRESs
"a Eyenlng Nsws correspondent.l

tBy Evening News C-orrespondent.l
JAMESBUkG. March Ia
Jamesburg has been placed more
solidly in the dry column bs the an
nouncement by Congressman T..
Frank Appleby that he will name
Miss Tillie Mount Of this place as
the next postmaster to succeed the
present incumbent, Charles T.. Pax
ton. who has held the post for the
past eight years.
This announcement came as a
surprise to the entire community as
It was not generally known hal any
female sought the post as the male
political workers were hard at work
pulling strings for their favorites.
Two OF the leading candidates for
the post were Frank H. Pownall Of
the Board OF F~reeholders and d
prominent Republican all his life,
and his brother, James b. Pownall,
who preceded the present post
master, Charles +. Paxton.
The contest became 50 intense
that Congressman Appleby was
called into the night and after see
ing the state of affairs named Miss
Mount as a compromise, at the So
licitation of Condit NJ. Dawson, who
was an out-an-Out worker for APP
pleby at the primary. DIR. John T..
Suydam, the regular county COM
mitteeman had opposed Appleby at
the primary and had sponsored the
name of James Pownall, but with
u success.
The naming of Miss Mount is a
reward for the great vote given NJ.
Appleby by the members of the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union of this place and elsewhere
in the third congressional district.
Miss Mount has been a life long
worker for the White Ribbon fol
lowers.
The naming of Miss Mount has
not become official. but Congress-
man Appleby has assured Miss
Mount that she has the office that
will be announced within the next
two months.
Mr.. Paxton was named postmast-
er in January, 1929, but the post
was never confirmed, the Republic
cans seeming a victory held this
office for a Republican worker.

SOUTH AMBOY. March 10
Many converts TO the South Amboy
Chamber of Commerce annexation
plan were made yesterday morning
following the fire in the Melrose sec
ton of ~Sayreville. near the city line.
Although the fire had considerable
Roadway when discovered. the Me
c~hanicsville and South Amboy fire
departments were at the scene early
enough TO prevent the spreading Of
the flames and possibly 70 confne the
blaze to the rear of the kosh prop
erty. where it originated.
The Mechanicsville Hose company
was on the scene five minutes after
the alarm wss given and the Inde-
pendence Company shortly followed.
II was some thirty-hve minutes later
hat the ~Sayreville engine arrived.
This is excellent time considering the
distance that must be Travelled in
order for the engine to get on the
scene of the fire.
Another badfeature yesterday was
the fact thai after pumping several
hundred gallons of chemical into the
fire the ~Sayreville company found
they had nc more chemicals. They
dispatched a man TO Sayreville to
bring down the necessary chemicals
and when he arrived it was discover
ed that he failed TO bring the acid in
which to generate the gas for pres
sure. This meant another fifteen
mile trip back for supplies.
