GUESTS OF MRS. HAYWOOD

SEWAREN. May 1s.-Mrs. John

Perth Amboy. entertained the Sc
warren History Club at her home
Wednesday afternoon. Plans for the
club luncheon TO be held at the Sc
warren Land and Water Club House

cussed.
Mrs. A. c. Walker and Mrs. Hay
wood. the recent delegates to the

HOT MEETING
FOR METUCHEN
So. Main st. Property Own
u ers to be Heard on AS
SeSSmentS

METUCHEN, May 19.-At the
special meeting of the council TO be
held next Monday night, one of the
hottest sessions ever held in the Old
borough hall is anticipated. as on
that night the property n OF
South Main street will be given an
opportunity 10 be heard in reference
to- the assessment made against
theif property for financing the re-
Gently completed concrete paving
job.
While the delegation from that
section of the town were heartily
in favor of the improvement, they
endeavored to learn what amount
would be assessed against them be-
fore the contracts for the work were
awarded, but at that time no dein-
lite assurance could be given, and
now that the amounts have been de-
teruined on they feel that the as
Auiunents have been made too high.
Probably the ~strangest argument
to be used will be. hat the Amboy
avenue pavement laid several years
the town and the Board of Free
holders was paid for under direct
taxation and not by the way of as
sessments, while the Main street Job
is to be paid partly through direct
taxation and partly through assess
ments.
The different manner in paying
for the cost of the two jobs indicates
discrimination against the south
Main street residents according TO
their views and they are expected to
be out in full force to Substantiate
their contentious that the assess
ments made r greatly higher than
the corresponding amount of benefit
derived.
Members Of the borough council
as we'll as the assessors appointed
by them 10 fix the amount of bene-
fit derived will defend the assess
ments as made while the South Me
tuchen Social and Civic League will
head the delegation that will seek
10 have a larger portion of the cost
allotted to general taxation.

G. Fire Company

SOUTH AMBOY, Nay 19-Ths
minstrel show at the Empire thea
tire Tuesday night. under the JUS
pices OF the Progressive Fire Com
pany. proved to be the success those
in charge predicted. The spacious
theatre was damned to its capacity
long before the scheduled time for
the performance.
The members of the Junior Or
der of United American Mechanics
Minstrel troupe were responsible for
the great success OF the affair. The
troupe with their friends put over
the proposition in a whole hearted
spirit and the fire ladies found at
the close of the evening that the
troupe would accept nothing in the
line of compensation. The fire COM
pany by a recent resolution went on
record as being very grateful to all
those who in anyway participated
in the event.
h Progressive Company is To-
Gated in the Maxfeld section OF the
city with approximately forty men,
bers. who individually have built
up n OF the best fire fighting COM
panies in this vicinity. Through
their efforts they purchased a mod
ern nre fighting apparatus. and
completely equipped their home.
The funds derived from the min
strel show will be used to eradicate
the debt that exists in the company.
The affair was complete in every
detail and many IA of town folk
were numbered among the audi
ence. This is the first minstrel show
in several years for this city.

ing to the post. On my way to a spot
in the grandstand l was jostled into
the betting ring where big "bookle"
was loudly shounting:
Five to one bar one"
| hadn't intended betting that race
because I wanted to learn all about
the system before l took youthful
flier on an Australian nag. But that
Bar One" changed my mind.
Back home there's boss named
Bar One who isn't a consistent win
ner-but he surely can romp home
whenever the odds against him are

fondness for the old fellow and when
| heard five to one Bar One" | decid-
ed to bet two quid-which means
about Son his sniffer.
l waggled the two-pound notes at
the bookmaker and said:

Which one?" heyipped at me.
Bar One" ] repeated-"two pounds
of Australian money on Bar One"
