ARSENAL NOT To

So Says AppIeby in a Letter
Written to Brunswick BID.
of Trade

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 22:-
In a letter to A. G. Atkinson, of the
local Board of Trade. Congressman
T. Frank Appleby say in reference
to the government policy in retain
ing or abolishing the Raritan ar
Senal:
Think you may be assured that
the arsenal will not be abandoned
'rhe communication points out
that the congressman has always
favored the retention of the arsenal
but has urged the necessary pre-
cautions TO insure the safety of
lives and property. Congressman
Appleby claims the government
plans to make the arsenal perma-
nept and says that Assistant Secre-
tary of War Wainwright expects to
visit the plant during this week.
The report that will be returned
to the war department as the result
of this investigation, Mr.. Appleby
says will probably determine the
attitude of the government. An ad-
verse report would its re-
moval, he thinks. while a favorable
report will mean its retention.
