Post Buys lsenberg Property
for Headquarters Site is
an Ideal One

SOUTH AMBOY. Oct. 3-The re-
port of the trustees of Luke A.
Lovely Post No. 81. American Le-
gion, outlining in brief twenty-seven
building sites. with recommends
tions for the purchase of what is
known as the Wilson property on
David street, owned and occupied
by Jacob Isenberg, was received by
the members of the post. By a ma
jority vote the trustees were given
power to purchase the property at
;he earliest possible time.
The idea of purchasing a property
came just a few months before the
club rooms of the local post was
completely demolished. when the
old Danagler building burned out.
The post had two floors in this
building completely furnished. Pre-
vious to their occupancy two years
ago the building was completely
renovated, but the post was not sat-
isfied, and Immediately under the
direction of the board of trustees,
held a drive for funds. The result
was gratifying. In every home and
in every business place the boys
were received well and the drive
Melted almost $4,000 in cash with
an equal amount of pledges. Shortly
afterwards came the fire and with it
renewed interest toward a real Le-
gion headquarters.
The Wilson property is not a typ
ical club house. The trustees, with
the presentation of this property
had solved a trying proposition and
one that had preyed long on h
minds of the board. Every detail
with regard to property was looked
into. The matter of building at n
time was preferable, but the high
prices at this time and the finances
of the post. put the idea away with
the properties that could not be
considered.
1t was while viewing four lots
at the corner of David street, and
Roswell street that the Wilson
property doomed before the body.
The possibility of the owner selling
came as a flash and upon investiga-
ton the trustees found that 1t
could be purchased.
The opinion of many of the menu
hers before the report was submit
ted in regard to the purchase of /
property was that the
site was an ideal n
The building is a one story frame
building, of the bungalow type. a
large front porch and beautifully
kept lawn. A large assembly room,
a billiard room, kitchen and sew
eral offices and the attic is partly
finished off. There is every improve
ment in the building.
The title of the building will be
over as soon as MI. Eisenberg
moves out of the place, which will
probably be in a week or so.
1t is understood that the building
will be under the car of one of the
at all times.
The post will meet again tomor-
night. 1t is expected that all
members of the local post will be
hand. The entertainment Off
Ger is busy arranging the produc-
ton, "Sitting Pretty" Members of
the Ladies Auxiliary will also take
part in this production.

DREDGE IS
 WORKING
Yankee Creek Machine Began Operations
 Friday Last.

The Plume Dredging 'Company's dredge on Yankee creek is now in full operation, the engine having been turned over for the first time on Au- gust 25th. last Friday. It's operation, for newly assembled machine, is said to be almost perfect.
 The placing of this dredge onsYapkee creek and it's present operation is cer-' tainly some achievement when it is taken into consideration that all of th is work has been accomplished since about June l. Before the dredge parts could be moved a road-a good one, by the way, eight and one-half miles long had to be built, to connect with the Work onsthis road to Yankee started about June and was completed about July l5, the tractor traversing the en- tire course from Tacotna to Yankee about the latter date. And. speaking of the tractor, it may be said that that machine must be given credit for the remarkable work It has done. Under  the guidance and manipulation of Al Goslow, assisted by Mir. Caldwell, this apparently numbering, 'reeling creature has been on the job all the time, as regular almost as cloe40work in makiug it's daily round trip, a distance of twenty nine miles. and turning up al- most to the minute each night with it's load of from three to four tons. Up to the present time it has hauled no less than one hundred tons.
 Considering all that had to be done. most of it under adverse conditions, MT. Saupe. manager of the Plume Dredging Company. is to be .congratu- lated upon the wonderful work he has accomplished within space of three short months.
