At Bic. Bic. EVENT
12Oth Anniversary of Church
FittingIy Observed at Serv-
ices Here Yesterday

The 120th anniversary of the
founding of the First Presbyterian
church here was fittingly observed
yesterday in the church in City Hall
Park The services were held in the
morning and afternoon and consist
ed of music and speaking in keeping
with the event. The morning serv-
ice consisted of sermon by Rev.
Harlan G. Mendenhall. DID,. of New
York City, who was the. pastor of the
church when the present edifice was
built about twenty years ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Mendenhalfs sermon
concerned facts relating to the his
tory of the organization in this city.
He told how the church began with
only a membership of seven and or
the trials through which the congre-
CATION went, until at the present
time the church has a membership
of over $50.
Not only did he speak of the his
tory of the church, but also recalled
some of the old historic places about
the city. He recalled the fact that
when he was pastor of the church
here, there was a movement on foot
to turn the old Barracks site into
public park, this had not been done
because some of the leaders of the
city at that time thought the site too
valuable to be used for a park ana
it was used for commercial purposes.
He made a plea that means be taken
to preserve the old landmarks still
standing in the city and urged that
this should include the Westminster.
The afternoon services consisted
of greetings being extended by other
pastors of the city. Those who took
part in this service were: Rev.
Herbert E.. Hatchman, pastor of the
First Baptist church; Rev. Robert
Schlotter, pastor of Grace English
Lutheran church; Rev. .Wilbert W.
Westcott, pastor of the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church. Rev.

CITY STABLE
ACTION TAKEN
Old Brick Building Likely to
be Turned Over to the
School Board

With the new city garage and
stable completed and the work OF
moving from the old structure in
State street practically completed
the Board of Aldermen are con-
fronted with the problem of what to
do with the old building. 1t is a
brick structure, two stories high and
of sufficient size to be used in sew
eral capacities. This matter was
discussed at the aldermanic commit
tee meeting last Friday night, the
suggestion which appealed TO ma
jority of the members was that
they turn the building over to the
Board of Education and allow that
board TO use it as a means OF reme-
dying the present school situation IN
this city.
The aldermen are not certain
whether or not they can legally turn
over this building to the school board
and decided TO have the city attor-
ney go into the matter thoroughly
and render an opinion before any
further action is taken.
Shortly after the contract was
awarded for the erection of the new
CITY stable and garage communica-
ton was received by the aldermen
suggesting that the old building De
so altered as to be used for school
purposes. One suggestion was tnat
il be made into a gymnasium, an
other that it be used for vocational
purposes and still another that 1t be
converted into classrooms for the
holding of regular classes.
Believing that the Board of Edu-
cation could best decide what IS
needed the most at this time ana
that the building should be used Tor
some kind of school purposes the
aldermen practically decided on
Friday night TO turn the building
over to the school board if possible.
With an addition being built TO
the high school and the old stables
made into another school building I
i believed present crowded eondi-
tions would be remedied eonsidera-
bly,.

COUNTY TAX
APPEALS HEARD.
County Board Meets--M Mat
ters to be Taken Up With
the State Board

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 3-An
appeal by a Perth Amboy property
owner for a reduction in the assess
ed value of her property from $685.
500 to $4,000, is one of seven Mid
dlesex county appeals made to the
state board of taxation for reduction
in property assessments fixed by To-
cal assessors and approved by coun-
ly assessors. All Middlesex county
cases are expected to come before
the state board some time this
month.
Two of the seven appeals are
made by New Brunswick property
owners one from North Brunswick,
one from Dunellen, one from Mid
dlesex corough, one from Fords
and one from Perth Amboy. En-
ma Correja of Perth Amboy. owner
of fourteen and one-half acres along
the water front of that city, is the
complainant in one case. The deci-
sion by the state board in this case
will help decide what that body
fixes the value of the Perth Amboy
water front property at.
Caroline d. Sandorff of Fords re-
quests a redupcuon from S2,465 to
S1,s65 on property owned by her in
LII all Ol lAtSc CdsCS lhC
county board approved assessments
as fixed by the local assessors.
The regular meeting of the coun-
tv board is scheduled for today, and
the matter of assessments will be
taken up at this time, and sched-
ule will be worked out for visits to
the municipalities in the county not
yet visited by the board.
Secretary O'Connor of the state
board is in New Brunswick view
ing assessments made by the local
assessors. He has been at the coun-
ty seat since the latter part of Au-
gust and will shortly go to Perth
Amboy for the same purpose. 1t Is
said the assessments fixed run from
twenty-five per cent to eighty per
cent of the true valuation of prop
erty, throughout the county. Com
parison of value and assessment is
made by comparison of the consid-
Grafton or total value of revenue
stamps used at the time of a sale,
with the assessment.
Manufacturers in New Brunswick
have formed a combination disap-
proving the coming to New Bruns-
wick of the state board to investi-
gate assessments. They should be
satisfied if the investigation was
statewide. Union county recently
filed a complaint against the fixed
valuation of property in Middlesex
county. and there are similar wran-
giles between Hudson and Passaic,
and Essex and Norris counties.
Hearings on these actions will be
heard early next year.
If state board finds assessments
fixed by the local and county boards
too low, under a new law 1t is posi-
| bic for the state body to direct that
new assessments be made.

.ASTRAKHAN IS NOW CALLED
CITY OF MISERY AND DEATH

ASTRAKHAN, Russia. Oct. (By
the Associated Press) ):-Hopeless
groups of refugees crowded the
wharves of Astrakhan which in hap
pier times were filled with the tide
of commerce flowing to and from
Russia and the Trans-Caspian plains.
Bitter rains of autumn are falling
almost continually and the first snow
of Russian winter has whitened the
roofs of the buildings but the
throngs have no shelter while they
wait, perhaps vainly. for transpor-
tation to the Kuban and Don re-
gions where they can obtain food.
Astrakhan is a city of misery and
death.
Death seems to dog the footsteps
of refugees. They are fleeing from
starvation but many hungry children
and adults die from the first food
they eat, the very bread they have
striven for proving fatal to them.
Meat or bread costs about five cents
per pound but there are few who
have money enough to pay this
price.

either the mayor or the chief of
police to issue permits for dances
would be made but at present it Is
thought that the mayor Is given
sufficient power by an existing ordi-
nance to control public dances.
Therefore, it may not be necessary
to present an additional ordinance
to the aldermen.
1t is probable that City Attorney
Leo Goldberger will appear before
the aldermen tonight to definitely
state the boundaries of the mayors
authority in such matters.
No change in the condition of
Kelly was reported at the hospital
this morning.
