ACT IN PAVING
FOR METUCHEN
Borough Council is Informed
That Freeholders Will Give
Decision on February 18th

5y Special Correspondent.
METUCHEN, Feb. Sat a meet
ing Of the borough council held in
the borough hall last night it was
reported that a decision would be
reached by the Board of Freehold
ers at their meeting on February II
on the matter of improving North
Main street. At that time it will be
known just what the councilmen
can do in improving this street and
what part the county will take in
the matter. Mayor Washington
Wilson has received word from the
f~reeholders that they would render
l decision at their next meeting.
A general discussion took place
at this time as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
putting a sewer line in North Main
street before any paving is done. 1t
was pointed out that the council was
open to severe criticism II the street
had to be damaged in any way af-
ter being paved for the lack of fore
sight, but it was stated that some
action should be taken on the mat
ter of providing means of putting
IN a sewer line before or after the
paving of the street without injury
to the pavement at any time.
1t was also shown that If any ac-
ton was taken on the sewage dis
BOcdi VI NhAS IOdus a survey Vi the
whole borough would have to be
made to find the source of outlet to
the eve system of the borough,
and IL a survey was made of this
street alone it would probably neces-
state two outlets being erected.
To make a complete urvey of the
whole borough and the drawing of
maps would cost a large amount of
money. but 1t was stated that this
survey would have to be made at
some future time and sewage lines
established.
The discussion was discontinued
when 1t was suggested that If the
council took any action in the mat
ter of putting a sewer line in North
Main street perhaps the freeholders
would not render a decision on the
matter. 1t was decided to let the
matter rest as it now stands and see
what can be done under the present
circumstances.
The proposed ordinance providing
for the increasing of the pay of the
chief and patroling marshals was
introduced and passed on first read
ing. The second and final reading
will be held at a later meeting of
he council.
The ordinance providing for the
removal of snow and ice from side
walks and cutters was passed and
adopted on second and fipal read
ing. This ordinance stipulates hat
snow and ice must be removed from
the sidewalks twelve hours after a
storm Of the forming ice. and il the
owner OF the property neglects TO
comply to this ordinance the street
department will remove the snow
or ice at the expense of the property
owner, which will be charged on
the taxes against the said property.
A fine OF SO will also be imposed
for each offence of not removing

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home,
but it beats them all for
quick results.


Thousands OF housewives have found
that they can save two-thirds OF the
money usually spent for cough prepare
tions, by using the well-known old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. 1t
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough In
"a hours or less.
Get IA ounces Of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into q pint bottle and
add plain graduated sugar syrup to
make full pint. If you prefer, use
clarified molasses. honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
q family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly 1t
acts, penetrating through every air
passage OF the throat and lungs--loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle 'and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "21s ounces OF Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept ANYTHING
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts.
