WILLIAMSTOWN /.

The fact has become known that it
is not likely that the purchasing com
mittee Of the library will buy new
books this year, owing to the unfor-
tunate tying up of some Of its funds in
the Barre Savings Bank 4 Trust Go.
The available interest and the APP
preparation made by the town last
March was not sufficient to pay the ex-
penses Of the library and the books
bought last year, SO that the library
is actually in debt at the present time.
Possibly the friends of the library will
come to its aid, so that at least a few
new books can be purchased. An en-
tertainment il planned in the near flu
ture and II may be that Others will
give books TO supplement some late

very liberal in the support OF an in
stitution that the people OF the town
are proud OF and which is doing much
to furnish the best sort Of reading and
to aid our students in the way of ref

APPLEbY ACTS
ON WATERWAYS
Takes Up Matter of Lighting
up Channel at Highlands
for Steamers
fBy Evening News Correspondent

IBy Evening news SOTrespOnuehIJ
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31:-The
Business Mems Association of High
lands has been endeavoring for some
time to secure the establishment OF
a night service between that place
and New York, but the steamboat
company has refused to put on a
| night boat because there are NO
channel lights in the river north or
| the Highlands bridge, and they claim
that it is unsafe to navigate the
river at night without the aid of
such lights. At the request of the
association, Congressman Appleby
took the matter up with the Corps or
Engineers of the War Department,
and also the Bureau of Lighthouses
of the Department of Commerce, and
after several conferences with them
made the formal request for the es-
t%ablishment of the proper lights,
which would mean the installing of
about sixteen poles placed at the
channel marks with an acetylene
light on each pole. The congressman
assured the Bureau of Lighthouses
that the care of these lights would
mean no additional expense to the
government as they could be taken
care of by the keeper of the Twin
Light on the hill, who has a launch
and cares for the lights further UP
the river.
Mr.. Appleby is in receipt of an
official communication from the
Bureau of Lighthouses, stating that
in response to his personal request
| to have lights installed at the mouth
of the Shrewsbury river, between
Highlands bridge and the United
States dixie at Sandy Hook. a careful
investigation has been made in the
matter, and 1t appears that this
channel is a shifting one. and sub
ject to change which would be liable
to render the lights useless; also that
there are shore lights in the vicinity
which furnish ranges. 1t further
states that the Lighthouse Service
has had to defer many important inn
portant improvements and .installa-
ton If additional aids to navigation
on account of the insufficiency OF
funds TO do all of the desirable work
And in view of these facts it did moi
appear possible to the bureau te
undertake placing these additions
aids at this time. particularly in view
of the rather limited traffic tina,
would be benefited. 1t is the inten'
ton, however. of Congressman APP
pleby to pursue the matter further
in an ~endeavor to eventually secure
such marking of this channel as will
are for any night traffic which ma.
be established in the future.

Z HO[DUP! MEN
Whips up Horses and Escapes
Shots Are Fired 80 Near
SayreviIIe

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 31:-
Word has just been received in the
office of the prosecutor of an at
tempted holdup occurring on the
back road from Mechanicsville to
Sayreville on Saturday afternoon.
According to the report George
Reinholtz, an East Brunswick far
mer, was returning from a day at
the open market in Perth Amboy,
carrying between $50 and $50, the
proceeds of the days sales at the
market. Suddenly two masked and
armed men sprang from the bushes
at the side of the road and demanded
that he stop Immediately. Instead
of complying with the request of the
robbers the farmer whipped up his
team and escaped. The bandits fired
several shots after the ~retreating
wagon and struck the equipage but
did not succeed in bringing it to a
halt.
The farmer reported the attempt
to the ~Sayreville police and an inves-
tigation has been in progress. 1t is
believed by the county authorities
that these men were part of a gang
that lies in wait for returning farm
ers and relieves them of the pro-
ceeds of their days sales at the
markets,

which vas the property of Charles
Klink, appeared before Judge DAILY
this morning and again pleaded

tents of the bank on several occa-
sions.
