But presently a surprise came.

with a message to Faith Clarke.
She wes wanted in Mr.. Cages Of

Her throat was dry and her knees
we're trembling.

girls, IT suppose he's looked up

a good record do when git

In spite Of dry throat anil
trembling knees Faith Clarke
took a trial letter from Mr.. Gage
with lightning rapidly and trans
crIbed It in an adjoining Office
without a fault.
She waited while Mr.. GageSea'l
II over. He was consulting her
record for promptness and ac-
curacy on large pink card from
the filing room.
"i think, Miss Clarke" he said,
THAT you may consider yourself
advanced to the position as my prl'
yate secretary. It Is an advance
ment, because 1t will mean thirty
five dollars a week, and you arc
now, believe, getting eighteen

Mr.. Gage saw that the matter
was settled so far as the girl was
concerned. After all, she had q
right to refuse the offer II she
chose, and perhaps a girl so unam'

an advancement would not make a

Of Mr.. Mills that he had tried the

So that was the end Of that, and
Mr.. Gage decided TO put off for an

PROBLEM HERE
Say High Street Width Could
Be Cut Down at Cable
Works Plant
NEED FOR COOPERATION
Up to Aldermen Also Say
Plant Managers Should
Hold Conference
NEED FOR COOPERATION

Ever since the opinion of the
Court of Errors and Appeals was
received in the Standard Under
ground Cable Company's crossing
case, there has been & question as
to whether there is way the city
can give the company the right to
| lay the tracks.
| Many of the progressive people of
the city feel that nothing should be
done to hinder the industries, on
which the city depends to great
extent for progress, and that moth
ing should be done that might in
any way have a result in driving
away any industry which might be
seeking to locate here. The general
desire on the part of the citizens
seems to be to cooperate with the
| industries, instead of to hamper
them in the upbuildihg of their
plants.
In order to answer this question,
The Evening News went deeply into
the matter and finds that there is
one legal way by which the cable
company can be given the neces-
sary land to lay the track without
causing damage to property or
property owners.
The answer to the problem lies
entirely with the Board Of Alder
men and 1t is up to them to make
the next move in the matter. The
track can be laid if the aldermen
will pass an ordinance cutting down
the width of High street, which in
the vicinity of the cable company
is held to be entirely too wide a
street for that section of the city. in
fact it is wider at that point than
at the intersection Of Smith street.
According to City Attorney Leo
Goldberger and others with whom
the matter has been discussed the
cable company can be assured the
side track by the action of the al
dermen in cutting down the width
of the street at that point before It
Is paved. Should the street be made
fifty or sixty feet wide at that point,
under the law one-sixth of this
width must be used for sidewalks,
one-third of which is used for the
walk on either side of the street.
If this is done the land now occu-
pied by the sidewalk will revert
back to the ownership of the com
pany and the company can then
place on it anything 1t sees fit,
either railroad or building.
AS the foregoing way seems to be
the only one in which the company
can lay the tracks. it Is likely, ac-
cOrQlug 10 luIOTIndtton dvd1idplS W
day, that some such ordinance will
be presented at meeting of the
council. the ordinance calling for
not only the cutting down of the
width of the street, but the paving
OF it also.
What it is claimed is needed most
in this city at the present time be-
tween the industries is regular round
table discussions, for to the casual
observer. it would appear as II they
are pulling separately instead of to-
gether and as it is generally under
stood that there is force in unity. a
round table discussion would have a
tendency to bring common under
standing between the heads of the
industries and much more might be
accomplished.

work on the 1898 city budget will
likely consume most of the alder
mems time at their regular com nit
tee meeting tonight. 1t is expected
that representatives OF several OIL
the municipal boards, together with
a delegation from the police force
will be present with requests for ad-
djtionaI appropriations next year.
The Board Of Education has ask
ed the aldermen to finance the erec-
tion of a new school in Hall avenue
and as a bond issue seems to be I'M
possible at the present time owing
to the city being close to, the limit
allowed by law, it seems likely that
the aldermen will make allowance
for the financing of this project N
the 1928 budget. The Board of
School Estimate has certified it's ap-
provai of the proposition to build
Tie new school at once and condl-
tfons are such as to make the con-
struction of the proposed building a
necessity next year.
The voters at the last election
showed themselves in favor of in
creasing the pay for the patrolmep
of the city. The superior off1cers
have also asked for an increase. rms
will mean an increase in the budget,
if the requests are granted and there
seems little likelihood of the requests
of the police force members being
refused.
The harbor board has been endeav-
oring for severa. years to secure suf-
ficient funds to properly repair the
city docks and erect a warehouse on
the dock property which would pc
a source of income to the city, but
as yet this board has been unable
to secure the necessary funds. There
is at the present time a request be.
fore the aldermen for additional
funds in order that part Of this work
might be done.
The health board has found this
years appropriation insufficient to
meet demands, the library board mas
secured an additional appropriation
and the other municipal boards are
understood to be .-avoring increased
appropriations. these including the
park board, recreation commission
and the city plan board.

city to voluntarily contribute to the
fund necessary to carry on the work
of this worthy institution next year,
and states that unless the drive is
successful the old folks are in dan
ger of losing their home
1t has been impossible for the d.
rectors of the Home for the Aged
to perfect a large organization OF
volunteers to go about the city, call
ing upon people asking them to con-
tribute to the fund and so the vol
untary contribution from the citi-
zens has been asked. To make the
giving as easy as possible, without
the necessity of writing a letter or
presenting the money personally.
the Evening News runs each day on
the front page a coupon which one
may fill out, enclose with their
check and mail to the Evening
News office where it will be turned
over to the directors Of the Home.
The need to keep this worthy in
stitution is we'll known and as 1t is
one of the most comfortable charity
institutions in this section of the
state, it should be q pleasure for
the citizens Of the city to contribute
to the fund that will assure its con-
tinuance for another year.
On Wednesday twenty-three per-
sons visited the Home and yesterday
there were seven visitors. The d.
rectors urge everyone to pay a visit
to the home in order that they may
see how their money is spent md the
happy manner in which the resi-
dents live.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 1.-The
Hall-Mills murder case has gone
into the dusty pigeon-hole of crime
unsolved mysteries.
The Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor
Mills, murdered here nearly three
months ago, have Joined the hall OF
fame along with such famous figures
as Dorothy Arnold, Joseph Elwell
and William Desmond Taylor.
Failure of the grand jury to fndict
anybody in the double murder sug-
gests to criminologists the question:
Is the Hall-Mills case permanently
pigeon-holed?
Two other famous cases remain
unsolved mysteries
Dorothy Arnold disappeared Dec
II. 1910. She was never seen again
after coming out of Fifth avenue
book store in New York that day.
Secret search went on until Jan.
25, 1911, when the case was report
ed to the police. Since then a for
tune has been spent running down
thousands of clues and it is still un-
known whether she was murdered,
kidnapped or committed suicide.
For two and half years every
effort has failed to solve the mystery
of the murder of Joseph Bovine Ell
we'll, bridge wrist expert and turf
man.
Elwell was found in his New York
apartment in the early morning Of
June II, 1920, dying of bullet
wound in the forehead. The suicide
theory was discarded but his as
sassin has never been found.

HOME FOR AGED
FUND GROWS
Still Need Much More, How
ever, to Insure Home for
Aged People Here
Again Appeal for
Home TO, Aged Help

Dear Friends of Perth Amboy:
May we not ask that you make
your subscriptions to the Home
for the Aged fund voluntarily
at once.
Don't waait for some one to
SIX you as we have very few So
1iciting.
The Home needs between $5,-
900 and $4,000 or there is great
danger of it being forced to
close if the money is not sub
scribed.
The officers are all busy peo-
pie and have not the time per-
sonally to solicit subscriptions.
Neither can they obtain the
lumber of workers necessary to
properly do this work.
Unless everybody that intends
to give, gives voluntarily and at
once and generously, the drive
will not be successful and the old
folks will be in danger Of losing
their home.
May we ask your generous
support and at once.
Yours,
I. T. MADSEN,
