CHAPTER VIII.
Study and Hard Work.

Both Cora and Gladys were capa-
BILE and efficient girls, earning n
fair salary. But like many. per-
haps most. working girls. they
helped at home--Cora her widowed
mother, Gladys her younger broth
ers and sisters. They could spare
little for Nellie. yet she must be
beitsr dressed before che locked
for work.
Nellie was progressing rapidly.
Cora found II a real pleasure to
teach her, she was 80 grateful, tried
SO hard to learn. She insisted upon
keeping their room In order. and
doing little things for Cora as we'll.
She washed her waists, handker-
chiefs. collar and cuffs. other bits
OF lingerie. ana ironed them far bet
ter than the laundress Cora had
been able TO afford. She also did
all the errands, buying what few
provisions they dared cook or eat
In their room.
when Cora begged her not TO do
much she replied:
"a nice sort Ia be IL I didn't

out her chest. hands on hips, 81
comlcal an expression on her face
that Cora shrieked with laughter
II don't see how ever lived
without you, Nellie"
You lived all right, but l guess
you didn't laugh much here all
alone, and one OF Miss Carter'f
boarders said Laughing was good

Cora knew how TO sew, and she

would get along through the fall

PAPERS LOST

Cannot Find Franchise With
Lighting Co. -DisbroW Crit
icizes Method of Business

SOUTH AMBOY, April 19.-Tho
one question that the m coun-
Gil is threshing out as a whole Is the
matter OF property lighting and
power facilities in this city. This
matter was brought out at last
nights meeting of the council. WHEEL
Councilman Delaney asked what ac-
ton had been taken on the request
that the city clerk produce the orig
inal franchise.
The answer to the query came
Afrom Councilman Disbrow, who ac-
Dsuainted the councilman from the
first ward that he had taken the
matter up with the city clerk, pre-
vious to the meeting, and in turn
informed him that the franchise
after q search of several days could
not be found. He added that the
city clerk stated he would make an
exhaustive search of the vault short
ly.
This crying of high taxation and
rates, Is justified, and comes par
TALLY by the fact thai the condi-
ton of the archives of the city was
the claim made at last nights meet
ing. 1t appears that when a pre-
ceding council has finished its BUSH
ne1 Iu0 WOlhli6o w
thrown headlong into the vaults,
with no regard for future refer
ence. This is n of the main rea-
sons that we have such a high rate
of tax, we cannot find anything
needed for reference. n council
man said.
Mr.. Disbrow stated that the city
clerk. he thought, was responsible
for its condition of the vault. I'VE
want to get started, but how can we
start without material to start with!
We have found a contract, but have
not located the original franchise.
Whatever is to be done on this mat
, ter, you may count on me TO De
here seven days a week and incl
IDENTIFY I have some valuable infor-
nation and plans whereby we may
be able to get real action in the line
Of lighting"
1t was at this juncture that City
Clerk Coakley took exception to
the remarks of the councilmen with
regard to the condition of the vaults.
He said:
For your information that you
ycannos expect much when the city Is
run OH the cheap scale it Is being
run on, and you cannot expect me
to hunt NacA HIteeu years dSo a.
fifteen minutes when I have to con-
tend with the crude way OF ming
introduced twenty years ago.
1.-The filing 1 have introduced Is
| all right and / know where to lay
/ my hands on whatever is needed that
has been filed since my taking office.
/ but the condition of the vaults is
/ not as bad as you paint it. There Is
1 much dust, and it will take much
time to dig into the vaults for in
formation of twenty years ago"
Mr.. Coakley stated that his report
- The state officials some time ago
regarding the condition of the vaults
received commentator as being fair.
The councilmen as a unit are plan
ming to push the lighting proposi-
ton through to an understanding.
and action on the matter is expect
ed within a remarkably short time.
The swapping of complaints re-
garding the lighting facilities. and
added expense for installation, IS
hoped to be obliterated, and certain
ly will be IL the plans work out as
is expected.
