Alderman-at-large Calvin again
spoke. II do not know how long the
plans we're in the hands of the city
when I took Office" he said, but ]
do know that practically nothing
had been done with them" He then
told of the improvements which
would result if the city's plans were
adopted.
What are the improvements? We
are spending money and we don't
know what we are spending 1t for"
exclaimed Alderman Riedy.
"You would know more about
these plans and what we are doing
IL you were in your seat during the
retorted Mr.. Calvin.
what is the good of being pres

conferences or committee sessions
when these matters are taken up?"
asked Alderman RE 1y. II was told
to be here at Z o'clock tonight for a
committee session. I waited until
$3.50 o'clock without seeing any
signs of a committee meeting and
then you went into regular session

BY this time all of the aldermen

NO AMBOY AVE.
ACTION by CITY
Aldermen Will Probably Go
Before FreehoIders- ASK
County to Act

The city will be unable to secure
state aid in repaving Amboy avenue
without the money expended revert
ing against the municipal debt limit
and as q result all hopes of this
road from Myrtle street to the
Woodbridge-Perth Amboy line. be-
ing paved by the city this year rave
been abandoned by the aldermen.
Although no mertion was made OF
the status CT this cas- as last nights
meeting, the aldermen have been
officially advised at Trenton that any
amount they might use in repay
ing Amboy avenue would work
against their debt limit of even
per cent This would mean that no
other paving work could be done
this year and If the plan was ear
ried out 1t would be two years or
more before the city would be re-
imbursed by the state under h re-
endorsement act.
Amboy avenue is still controlled by
the Board of Freeholders, 1t having
been taken over by the county some
time ago. The county offered to
return the road to the alderman this
year when it was learned that the
city was contemplating rebuilding the
road with state aid. 1t was thought
by the city at that time, however,
that the money thus expended would
have no effect upon the city's debt
limit. Since it has been learned that
such is not the case the aldermen are
considering going before the free
holders at a meeting in the lei fu-
ture and request the county to re-
pair the raod which at present is in
deplorable condition.
The freeholders have been urging
the aldermen to inform them just
what action they contemplate taking
with regards Amboy avenue. Alder
man-at-Large Richard j. Calvin last
night announced that all road mat
ters would come up for consideration
at Thursday nights meeting and it
is likely that a delegation will be
named at that time to appear be-
fore the freeholders and ask that
body to act.
Whether or not the freeholders
will take UP the suggestion of Gov
ering a new route when the Amboy
avenue paving is considered by them
son at the meeting of the aldermen
last week, presented plans whereby
the sharp curve and incline on that
road could be remedied by laying
out a new road through the property
owned by the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company. Such action would not
only result in a better road but would
give the asphalt company more land
between the railroad tracks and the
road. AS the freeholders had ex-
pected the city to take over the re
sponsibility of repaving Amboy we
nue., it Is not known how much they
will be able to spend in repaving
this much used road.

CHARGE MADE BY WOMAN

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 21-
Henry Mossback, sixty-eight years
cid of Germantown, is held with
out bail on serious charges preferred

1t is said that the woman had an
ad in a New York German newspa-
per, requesting work as a house-
keeper and that Mossback answered
same. She accepted, but did not
know how to come to Bonhamtown,
so he came to Brooklyn, where the
m lived with her sister and
brother. The reason he did not mar
ry the woman lis said to be the fact
that he has a wife living in Calitor-

CLUB ENJOYS
DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM

IAN afternoon of fun" truly named
was given by Anne Warmer Baker,
impersonator, before the Woman's
Club at their meeting in the Pres
byterian chapel yesterday afternoon.
1t was a decided change from n
entertainment given by the club this
year and was enjoyed by a large
and ~appreciative gathering of the
club members and their guests.
Little Miss Finger Toes delighted
all with her toe and clog dances.
The impersonation Of the little girl
who could not understand why her
brother Bobby, just because he had
an ulster" on his tooth. a the re-
ignoring her entirely, was q very
humorous number well given.
This most versatile artist then pre-
scented shadowgraphs. bits of clay
modelling and lest the measure be
not full, she finds room for a de-
lightful reading, "Lil Brown Baby"
by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Her
impersonation of the dolly who suf-
fered such pain sparkled with COM
edy, but here and there the deeper
note is struck, for she shows a heart
beating through the saw dust and
animating what at first appears TO
be a lovely M~arrionette.
Preceding the program Mrs. s. +.
Rostkowski, accompanied by Mrs.
w. H. Hesser, sang most effectively
Little Demosel."
AT the short business session over
which the president, Mrs. Peter G.
Olsen, presided, announcement was
made that the convention of the
third district Federation of Woman's
Clubs which includes Ocean, Mon
mouth and Middlesex counties will
