a story, whether it is a truth of a

"Good morning, little sister,"

She threw her beautiful arms

DRIVEWAY FOR ONE MAN;
SIDEWALK FOR OTHER

Vice Chancellor Foster, in Newark
yesterday, ruled that a driveway
situated between the. properties OF
Samuel Goldstein and Daniel ana
Anna Bachman in Park avenue
could be used by Bachman as
driveway but by Goldstein only as
place to walk. The suit in chancery
was started by Goldstein in an effort
to obtain the use of the driveway
into his property.
The testimony brought out the
fact that the property in 1912 was
owned by Tube Diamond. Diamond
in that wear sold Bachman four feet
of his property for driveway. A
fence was then placed between the
Diamond property and the Bachman
driveway. Some time later Diamond
sold the property, and 1t finally was
purchased by Goldstein, VINO decid-
ed that he wanted to use the drive
way and took the matter TO the
-1urt of chancery.
Bachman was represented by AS
siStant Prosecutor John f. Toolan
and Goldstein by George Miller.

the machine was broken and be-
cause their suspicious were aroused

AMB0Y AVE. PAVING
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
BY COUNTY and CITY

will most likely be decided this
afternoon as the automobile traffic
over this road, especially over the
week-ends, is now becoming so
heavy that the road is growing
steadily worse.
Public sentiment seems to favor
a ne wroad, but officials point out
that this would mean a detour for
traffic either by way of State street
and Sewaren or by New Brunswick
avenue and Fords. The present road
could be repaired, it was said at the
inspection of the aldermen and free
holders Monday afternoon, without
closing the road, thus keeping it
open to traffic by repairing one half
of it at a time.
The aldermen meet again tonight
in committee session and II the free
holders come to some agreement this
afternoon, the council may lay plans
tonight for steps to be taken at their
regular meeting Monday night.

DETAILS
FOR MEMORIAL
Arrangements for Tribute to
Soldier Dead Are Being
Rapidly Advanced

Since the organization meeting at
the city hall on Tuesday night. plans
for the community memorial serv-
ice to be held in the city hall park
on Easter Sunday afternoon have
been forging ahead rapidly. Chair
men of the various sub-committees
are at work on. the details in con-

cations participating will be much
the same as 1t was on Armistice
Day. All organizations intending TO
march are requested TO inform the
American Legion Headquarters in

Just how large a procession must
be arranged. Il is also suggested
that these organizations approach
the city hall park by way of Smith
and High streets. hating in front
of GarretsOn's for instructions from
the marshal.
The procession line of march Will
probably be from city hall park TO
Smith street. 10 New Brunswick ave
nue to Amboy avenue, and thence
to Alpine cemetery.
Inasmuch as the event is a funeral
procession and not a parade the line
of march will make no attempt to
cover the city, but viii take the
shortest possible route 10 the ceme-
terry.
Maxwell MacMichael, in charge Of
the ceremony at City Hall park. is
arranging his program and expects

ices il the union choir are asked to
communicate with Mr.. MacMichael
at once All are invited. but the
committee wishes to know how many
singers intend to turn out. Church
ehoirs are asked TO turn out in a
body if possible. but individual sing
ers will be welcomed
The general committee requests
that all homes in the city, whether
along the line of march or not. dis
play a flag on Easter Sunday in
honor of the city's dead. Flags on
all public buildings will be at half
mast in accordance with a standing
order of the aldermen.
Posts of the American Legion
from surrounding cities have been
invited 10 attend the ceremonies next
Sunday and a large turnout Of uni
formed men is anticipated. All ex-
soldiers, whether members of a mill
tary organization or not. are invited
to march. All that is necessary is
TO come to city hall park and ger
into line with any of the service
orga anizations. The ceremony is a
communist event and no lines are
being drax&a. United effort and CO.
operation are needed to make the
affair successful tribute to Perth
