SKATING
At So. AMbOY
Action is taken to Have City
Flood Old StevenSdale
Lake

SOUTH AMBOY, Jan. r.
Whether or not this city will have a
skating pond depends largely on the
report of City Engineer A. T. Nc
MicEaels, who is 20 ascertain wheth-
er the old lake on Stevensdale will
hold water for any length of time.
The Woman's CLUB in an effort to
establish a community ice rink APP
pealed to the members of the COM
mon council for water enough to fill
the Stevensdale lake after they had
received permission to use this site
from the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Off
Gals in the city. Councilman Della
ney in presenting the requisition said
he did not think L. would be quite
right at this time to pour such an
amodnt OF water away when the city
had threatened t. shut off the water
from private residences because they
were behind in the payment of their
water bills.
The proposition al referred to
the council as a whole with the city
engineer who stated he did not think
the lake would hold water for any
length of time, Blu. would make a
minute inspection o. the place within
a short time.
Those who would benefit by such a
step point to instances wher other
municipalities without dissension
provide suCt places for winter sports
and Contend that many would bene-
fit by the establishment of such a
place where wholesome amusement
could be found in the confines OF
ones own city.

swering all the alarms. Three men
answered five alarms, Chief Harry

on the outskirts of the town. who.
through their manager, G. d. Brill,
donated SIS to the department for

ton among the members over the

to answer alarms. Members claim
ing to not having heard the alarm
