CITY F|REMEN
PLAN BIC EVENT
Will Hold Old Home Week in
This City June 29 to
July 8
ALL COMPANIES UNITE
Booths and Concessions Will
All be Conducted by Local
Men

As means of affording the fire
companies OF the city an opportu-
nifty to raise money by the popular
method of holding carnivals and at
the same time to do away with the
competition before these companies
in an effort to secure the necessary
permit from the mayor to conduct
these affairs, the Perth Amboy Fire.
mems Welfare Committee consisting
of members of all the city's COM
panies have arranged to hold what
will be termed an Old Home Week
here from June 29 to July 8.
In the future this form of the
carnival will be the only one per-
mitted in the city each year, under
the present understanding. and will
do away with the opposition raised.
to such affairs by local merchants
and also remove the competition be-
tween the fire companies in their ef-
forts to put on carnival of their
own.
The firemen's Old Home Week
will not be along the regular car
nival lines, it Is announced by the
committee in charge, as all of the
booths and concessions will be run
by local men. The only attractions
at the carnival which will not be
conducted by Perth Amboy men,
the firemen's committee states, will
be the rides. These popular forms
of amusement will be put on by a
high class out of town concern.
There will be no side show attrac-
tions. no exhibition OF freaks and
monstrosities by professional carni-
val performers, according to the an
nouncement.
Although the time for the big at
traction will be designated as Old
Home Week, the affair will be con-
Quoted ten days, starting on the
last Thursday in the month and end
ing on Saturday. July s.
The Firemen's Welfare Commit
tee. which is promoting this new
undertaking. has in its membership
fire companies in the city and the
exempts as well. At the conclu-
sion of the celebration the proceeds
will be divided among all of these
companies and this means of money
raising will not be resorted to for
another year. it is explained. The
popular carnival grounds opposite
the Central railroad station along
Smith and Elm streets will again be
used for this attraction.
The bazaar just completed was
conducted by local fire company
but it was allowed to proceed owing
to the arrangements having been
made far in advance and the neces-
sity for money being raised at once
to replenish the death benefit ac-
count of the Eagles which was ex-
hausted last spring when several of
their members were killed in the
grade crossing accident on June Is,
1921.

Bids Received By Board
Of Aldermen On Sewer
System Are Also High

Three different bids for the COL
lection and removal of the city's
garbage were received by the alder
men last night but the amount ask
ed bv each contractor to do the
work came as a big surprise to the
members of the board. The price
asked by the lowest bidder TO do
the work for three years was almost
$4,000 more than the price paid by
the board in 1919 when prices were
at their highest. The highest bidder
for the work asked about s64. 900
more than, the 1919 contract price.

last night, the bids being referred
to the street committee and city

BONUS ACTION
NEXT THURSDAY
Senator M'Cumber Plans to
Present Measure Then in
Its Present Form

WASHINGTON. June 6:-Pre-
sentation of the soldiers bonus bill
to the senate on Thursday is the
present plan of Senator McCumber
OF the finance committee. The
measure will be sent to the senate
calendar to await call.
President Harding will refuse to
approve any soldiers compensation
legislation that does not provide a
method of raising revenue to meet
payments authorized under it. He
will not permit funds to be accumu-
lated from instalments on war loans
made to foreign nations, added tax
alton on automobiles, gasoline or
other articles already heavily bur-
dened or the, issuance and sale of
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness.
revenue except through a sales tax,
which cannot be passed through h
congress.
A renewed declaration of the
Presidents attitude has been circu-
lated among Republican senator's.
Word was brought them by one OF
their prominent members who held
a long conference with Mr.. Harding.
He reported that the President ex-
pressed great surprise that any mis-
understanding as to his position
should exist He told his visitor that
his attitude toward the bonus had
not been. altered or modified. He
announced weeks ago that he would
promptly veto any measure framed
on the lines of the House bill.
1t is the evident intention of the
Republicans to proceed with bonus
legislation regardless of this final
warning from the President. No
change in the programme is indica-
ted. 1t was stated that the report
to accompany the McCumber plan
will be ready for use today. Nc
Cumber said the bill will be report
ed within two or three days.
Republican leaders figure on de-
ferring action on the Bonus Bill un-
til after consideration of the tariff
has been completed. This delay will
not be accepted by those who are
candidates for reelection.

Township
WOODBRIDGE. June

WOODBRIDGE, June 6.-Today
this township is voting on the ques-
ton as to whether or not it will
nRdopt Commission Government rule
,fr continue with the present town.
ship form. During the past few
weeks and in fact up to the eve of
the election, a hot battle has been
waged by both those for and against
the change. The fight took the form
of citizens committees and meetings
were held almost every night in
some part of the township at which
out CT town speakers talked for and
against the issue.
Those who are familiar with the
conditions in the township declare
that the only possible chance OF
putting the commission government
over is that of getting out big vote
In all sections of the township. The
rain of today is expected to keep
the vote down to considerable ex-
tent. and this is held by some to
mean that the issue will be defeat
ed. Others, particularly of the
Democratic faith, are of the opinion
that rainy day Is so-calied Demo,
cratic weather, and as the Demo-
crSts are the principal ones backing
up the issue, hold that, today spells
success for the change in govern
ment.4
Although many rumors are flying
about the township concerning the
results of election, the results can
hardly be estimated at this time be-
cause of the light vote cast 50 far.
It is expected that late this after
noon and early tonight the vote will
be heavy thus making up for the
shortage earlier in the day. At
Fords the vote is also light, only zoo
ballots being cast so far in the
three polls. The usual number OF
votes cast in the Fords section of the
township is 500.

IRISH CHIEFS
CO TO LONDON
Griffith and His Colleagues to
Leave Dublin to Continue
Parley
WITH Mr.. CHURCHILL
Belfast Still Scene of Bitter
Warfare Hospital is
Fired Upon

LONDON, June (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Arthur Griffith and
his colleagues on the Irish delega-
ton which has been discussing the
Irish situation with the British cab
met will leave Dublin tonight, 1t is
announced, for resumption of
their negotiations with Colonial
Secretary Churchill tomorrow.
British government circles believe
Griffith and Michael Collins have
agreed to observe the full term OF
the Anglo Irish treaty, even though
this seems throwing Eamon de Va
lera overheard despite recent pacts
with him, while the Dublin corre-
spondent of the same newspaper
reports the impression that the Col
INSIDE Valera pact will be aban-
doned after the election.
Surprise is expressed here at Col
Inns and de Valera's joint appeal
for the support of the electors for
the coalition panel in the election
and the withdrawal of the other
candidates in the national interests.
This, il is predicted, will not only
lead to the withdrawal of many in
dependent candidates but will en-
courage the extremists forcibly to
prevent the election of those ignor-
ing the appeal.
The London press is taking sides
in these controversies over the cap
ture of Pettigoe from the Sim Fem
ers by British troops. Some think
it will be a valuable lesson to the
Republican extremists, while others
condemn it sharply as an invasion
of free state territory.
The official report on the incident
said shots were fired at the Jail and
the guards. believing the institution
al was being attacked, replied with
machine guns. Some of the bullets
struck the hospital.
