ing Borough Presidents
Proposal for Island Bureau

6y Special Correspondent.
TOTTENNILLE, Jan. 24:-The
proposal of Borough President Van
Name that a branch of the New
York state Office of the state license
bureau be installed at Borough Hall,
st. George, is receiving consideration
by Secretary of State John j. Lyons.
according to a letter received last
week by the borough president. In
his letter the secretary of state says
that he is taking the matter up with
the New York office at h present
time. He lays stress on the fact
that the force in his department is
crippled by lack of numbers. Bor-
pugh President Van Name has Offer
ed the use of Office space in the
Borough Hall free of charge for the
automobile bureau.
A branch has been established In
the other boroughs of the greater
city for handling the 1921 licenses
Ath5t must be put on a car h first
February and this is the only bor-
Eh where an owner or chauffeur
must make his application to the
Z Manhattan branch for his license.
The plates are being sent out as fast
ms possible but it is thought that
mere will be another holdup like
Mat of last year when many did not
let their plates for fifteen days after
Ifhe first of February. Examinations
Have only been held or the island
}since last summer. Before that a
new driver or operator had to go to
Manhattan to take the examination
I for his license.

To Print Prices ON Tickets

The pennsylvania railroad mas
|hdopted a new policy of printing the
price on the face of railroad tickets.
This is effective as soon as the pres
ent ticket supply is exhausted. This
novel step has been taken. the rail-
road announces, as a protection to
both it's passengers and its ticket
agents.
1T will sometimes happen, of
course" the statement reads, that
changes in established tariffs au-
thorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and State Public Service
Commissions will necessitate a diff
ferent fare charge, taking effect af-
ter a supply of tickets had already
been printed with the price previ-
ously in effect. In this case the tic
kets on hand will be stamped with
the new price until tickets bearing
the new price are printed. and ticket
agents will be instructed to show
passengers the tariff schedules in
the event that the new change is
questioned"

kEYP0RT To ACT
ON STATE ROAD
Matter Will be Taken Up by
Council Tonight; the Road
Runs Through to CIiffWood
BY Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
kEYPORT, Jan. 24-It has been
requested through representatives OF
the state highway department that
the borough authorities give imme-
date attention to the proposed route
of the state highway system pass
ing through the borough. The mat
ter will be up for discussion and a
decision of some sort Is expected at
the meeting of the mayor and coun-
Gil tonight.
After several years of waiting 1t
is understood that the highway de-
partment stands ready to begin work
on the section of state highway route
4. which will connect the completed
highway terminating at Cliffwood,
Matawan township and the section
ending at The junction of Broad and
Front streets, this borough.
Considerable controversy has been
met with the deciding of the site for
the new route within the borough.
Last season state engineers had sew
eral proposed routes for the new
highway which would take the road
from Front street. which is the bus
mess section of Keyport. A confer
enc of the mayor and interested cit
liens with representatives of the
nlgnWdy commission was nelu sew
eral months ago in the borough hall.
at which time the proposition was
discussed from all angles.
The state officials finally decided
to complete the highway along
Front street route. BY this course IL
was estimated that the expense to
be assumed by the borough would
amount 10 $1,000 approximately.
This will be used in widening the
present roadway, resetting of the
curbing and buying additional prop
erty.
No action has been taken by the
borough for carrying out its part of
the work and as the state is all ready
to begin work it becomes necessary
for definite action on the part of the
local government.
Some agitation is against the route
through the business section because
of the prohibiting of automobiles
parking in that section under the
state highway ruling. From inter-
viewing a number of merchants the
opinion generally favors having the
highway pass their shops.
