GET lob BOOKS
At THE LIBRARY
Regarded as Great Success
Many Books Were Out for
Years Here

Bargain week" at the Public Lii
brary resulted in the return of one
hundred and eight books that may
again be placed in circulation. The
drive started on Monday. April 3.
and continued until last Saturday
night, during which period all books
drawn before March 1 of this year
were returned without payment of
fines.
The library officials are we'll sat
isfied with the result obtained by the
appeals to the people of the city in
view Of the fact that more books
were returned here. in proportion to
Perth Amboy's population, than
were obtained in other larger cities
where similar campaigns were con-
Quoted. In Minneapolis, for instance,
four hundred volumes were return
better than that of the Minnesota
city when the W populations are
compared. =
a value in excess of $3.50 has been
placed upon the returned books
here. Many of them are practically
new and all of them are in good
condition, so that the "old home
week" has been a paying PROPOSE
ton for the library.
The return was effected by placing
barrels in the hallway of the
main library. in the former Brace
avenue branch and at the COM
munity house. The people of the
city were requested to drop their
books in these receptaclcs and then
.i5rary officials collected them at
the close of each day. No fines were
imposed and no questions were ask
ed to embarrass persons who re-
turned books.

new STATION
FOR MATAWAN
Will be Rebuilt in 2 or 3 Years
is Report to MataWan
Council

MATAwAN. April 12:-That the
New York &c Long Branch railroad
station here is considered by the
railroad company only a temporary
structure and will be rebuilt within
the next two or three years, was the
information given to the borough
council last night by Mayor William
H. Sutphin In reporting on the re-
quest that paving be placed about
the station grounds instead of the
crushed stone as heretofore.
Mayor Sutphin said that Superin-
tendent Berry explained that the
company expects to change the en-
tire layout of the system here, which
is a large transfer point for Free
hold and Atlantic Highlands traffic
and intended to do this work when
the bridge over Matawan creek was
rebuilt but that as the Public Utility
Commission set a date on which the
bridge had to be completed it was
found impossible to do all the work
by that time so the company decided
to let the present station and rail-
road yard remain as 1t Is for the
present.
A letter from the Central Railroad
of New Jersey did not give the bor-
ough much encouragement in OBJ
tanning a fifty-trip or family ticket
to New York City for which efforts
have been made at various times.
The council decided to write the
railroad company that unless some
action was taken Immediately the
matter would be referred to the
Public Utility Commission or Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
A representative of the Freehold
Motor Express was present and in
formed that he would be given a
permit to operate a bus line be-
tween this place and Freehold. The
bus. however, it is understood, will
only be allowed to carry through
passengers.
Harold Powelson, president of the
library board, was present and on
his plea the council turned over
money due that institution. The
money is to be used to retire a mort
gage on the property.
Following the adjourning of the
session the council held an informal
meeting at which time the sewer
plans were discussed. John Hall, n
local sanitary engineer, was present
and made several suggestions.

ACTION
ON PLAYGROUND
Tentative Plans Discussed by
City Commission for Activ-
tiles This Summer

Members of the playground COM
mission met at the city hail on Mon
day nigh; to discuss tentative plans
for the coming season. All the
members of the commission did not
put in an appearance, so that the
discussion was informal IN charac-
ter and no official action was taken.
The meeting was called for the
purpose CT organizing the commits
sion for the year but as some men,
bers failed to turn out, the organiza-
ton was deferred until Monday
night, April "a. At present the
commission has no head. Kenneth
w. McComas was the president for
the season of last year but soon at
ter the Gle Sc of the Fairgrounds Mr..
MAcComas rendered his resignation
from the commission. His term
would have expired January l of
this year had he remained on the
board. The senior member OF the
board ac present. excepting Ma
thaniel w Pierce, is Walter Ma
thiasen. The choice for president,
however, is not known.
Mention was made Monday night
of the possible bearing the removal
OF the historical society building to
Hayes Park might have on the
playground that has been situated
there in former years. 1t was sug-
gested that it might be necessary
for the commission to find a new
location for the Hayes Park play
ground. No action was taken, how
ever, and the question will probably
De deferred until the next official
session.
In addition to the organization 1t
is probable that M of the main
problems tc come up at the next
meeting will be the selection of a
supervisor and a staff of assistants.
Each of the Fairgrounds has a man
and a woman instructor to direct the
activities of the children frequent
ing the recreation centers and job
of selecting an efficient staff is pos
sibly the most important function OF
the commission.
William G.. Moench, physical d.
rector of the public schools OF Eiz-
abeth, was the supervisor of play
grounds last year and 1t Is not
known whether he will be X 10
return this season.
