WONDERFUL COSTUMES
IN ~"SPR!NGTIME"

Among the many attractive
features of 'Springtime," the musl-
cal extravaganza to be put on by
the Catholic Daughters of America
Monday night at the Majestic thea
tire, directed by the John Z. Rogers
Producing Company, will be the
costumes which, elaborate as was
the wearing apparel in the latter
part of the eighteenth century, in
cludes hoop styles of 1868 and the
hustle effect of 1883. Present day
CARDS of the latest cut will also be
used and take the audience through
three periods of history.
Although the music and scenery
are only incidental to the plot of the
show. they form the greatest embei-
lishments. The music, solos, duets
and choruses are typical of the Sc
lections which have characterized
the Rogers shows heretofore in this
community and the principals espe-
cially are considered by the director
to be particularly adapted to fill the
parts assigned them.
There are several groups in Spring
Time, all o. which ave their essen
tial attractions. The Servants" a
group of 1868 girls, singing the songs
characteristic "a the era, is compos-
ed of Marie Bacha, Veronica Dlabik,
Agnes Deegan, florence Brownmil-
Ter, Sadie Harrigan and Helen Nc
Laughlin.
The ~Stephanie CGvotte group. ad-
vancing twenty years to 1888, is
composed of the following:
Hyer Larson, James Murray. Ed
ward Rudolph, JohE Byde, Bernard
Bachman, Adolph Gottstein, Misses

son, Anna Donovan, Gertrude Too
Ian, May Huchan, Rose Huff, John

by vote Of the coGncil last night from
the Borough of Carteret to the Bor-
ough OF Roosevelt At the meeting

an amendment had to be made to
the law in 1906 under which they
had changed the name and that the
name of Carteref was not legal I'M
less the pcople at a general election

tornoy's letter had been read, Coun-
Gilman William j Lawlor offered a
resolution resembling the action of
the council on December 10, which
again made the Borough of Roose-
welt the nsme OF this locality.

another resolution to the effect that
all business transacted since the
name had been changed TO Carteret
he approved of official business OF
the borough of Roosevelt, Another
rAs solution was also presented by
Councilman Lawlor, whereby Con-
ggessman II. Frank Appleby will be
presented with a copy of the resolu-
uen, with the suggestion that the

on Rate Decisions

Nj. .Pierson of Union offered a
resolution calling upon the utility
board to submit to the House all
the data on which decisions on
rates and fares of trolley, gas, water
and electric companies are based.
The figures since 1914 for the five
largest concerns in each of the
classes of utility are required to be
given to the House for its inspection
by the resolution, which was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
The Union members resolution re-
quires submission of all the data
which goes into the making up of a
public utility rate. but lays stress on
the tax element. If adopted, the
measure will call for information as
to what proportion in the total in
come collected by these companies
has been taken by the state, NUM-
cipalities or federal government for
state, franchise, municipal and fed
eral taxes respectively
1t also asks for the percentage Of
state and municipal taxes to reve-
nue.; the percentage OF federal taxes
to revenue; the percentage of unit
fare of trolley companies that are
represented by taxes and percentage
of rate of water companies that are
represented by taxes. The princi-
pal object of the resolution seems
to be to find just what percentage of
the costs of operating the various
utilitinS is caused NV taxes
