SEEK MONEY To MAINTAIN
COAST GUARD ALONG SHORE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The ap-
preparation carried in the last de-
iiciency appropriation ill for the
Coast Guard Service was reduced
$500, 10000, and this cut in the APP
preparation made it necessary in the
interest of economy to discontinue,
temporarily, a number of the sta
tionS, and consolidate others. Among
the stations ordered discontinued
was Station No. SO. at Sandy Hook,
and tSation No. III, at Beach Haven
Terrace, was consolidated with the
sub-station four miles below. Con-
gresham Appleby has had several
conferences with Commodore Will
lam l.. Reynolds, commandment of
the coast guard, in an effort to have
all the stations from Sandy Hook
to Great Bay retained with a full
compliment of men. pleading that
the heavy ocean traffic along the
New Jersey coast at this season OF
the year makes it vitality necessary
to maintain these stations.
The commodore has assured Mr..
Apply hat he fully appreciates the
great need of these stations at this
time, and he is endeavoring to Sc
cure an additional appropriation
that will enable him to maintain the
serNicec along the Atlantic Coast al
the highest point of efficiency.

SOUTH AM

Frank Gregor, formerly of this
city, but now of Perth Amboy, was
arraigned before Judge Ruben For
gotson at the City Hall last night
on the charge of non-support made
by his wife, who resides at the home
of her parents in the Mechanicsville
section of the city. This is the Sec
ond time Gregor was arraigned for
non-support. He was put under five
hunderd dollar bond several years
ago, but was released at the time of
the war by his wife that he might
enlist. On his return from serving
with the army he has failed to sup
port his wife and two children.
Judge Forgotson again placed him
under a five hundred dollar bond
with the demand hat he support his
wife and children.
Charles Parncll spent yesterday at
the home of friends in Newark.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Martin and
daughter Freda have returned after
spending several days in Atlantic
City.
Officer Louis Bloodgood resumed
his duties today after spending ev-
eral days with relatives in Cranbury
Anton Maliszewski. of the local
police force, began his annual vaca-
ton yesterday.
The annual carnival of Saint
Mary's Parish was scheduled to
open last night, but due to the in
clemency of the weather had to be
postponed until tonight if weather
permits. Thousands of dollars worth
of paraphernalia in the past few
weeks have been shipped to the cam
pus adjoining the school grounds,
and when the shower of electric
lights fall tonight this material will
serve to magnetic the city's people.
Jo~hnstone's band of Perth Amboy,
has been secured for the entire ten
days of the carnival and the new
huge dancing pavilion will attract
the dancers. Dolls galore will be
displayed and given as prizes and
many dollars worth of silverware,
china. %crockery, groceries and many
useful things will be CHANGED off
during the days of mirth.
Yesterdays storm added much to
the horrible condition of Augusta
street, which at this time is under
repairs. Lambertson & Reese have
the contract to curb and pave the
sidewalks of this street, and since
the work has started the section De-
tween Stevens avenue and Pine
avenue is hardly passable.

The cases of two helpless ex-ser-
vice men. Joseph Megsokowseg, and
Frank Meighland, We're also discuss
ed at the meeting and the post is now
soliciting help for these men. The
case of the former is surrounded by
a strange circumstance. He received
two broken legs while riding across
the county bridge on a bicycle and
was run down by an automobile and
an operation in the course ola few
weeks is very necessary. The man
has only been a resident of South
Amboy for a little Owe a year and Is
therefore not eligible for aims. Com
mander Leonard has helped the man
make application for the State bonus
and an appeal for immediate relief
will be made to the city.
Meighland, the other case, Is IN
the Polytechnic Hospital in New York
suffering from rheumatism contract
ed in the trenches. His condition has
| placed his wife and family in a diff
cult position for funds and the Lee
| gion will give temporary relief in this
case. Both cases will be referred to
the War Risk Bureau.
