CITY PLANNERS DOUBTFUL
ON STATUS, Do NOT meet

The question as to whether or not
the city Plan and coming commission
is still in existence occupied the at
tention Of the members who were
at the city hall last night in response
to the notices of a regular meeting
sent out by the secretary. 1t was de-
clared thai the terms of Office of the
city planners were for one year only
and therefore expired on January 1.
1t could net be definitely determin-
ed whether the board should imme-
diate,y cas- to function or whether
the present personnel could legally
continue to meet and transact bust
ness until successors be appointed by
the mayor. Th opinion vas also
advanced that while the city plan
commission ceased tC exist on Janu-
airy 1, the coming commission men,
bers were appointed FOR one, two,
and three year terms.
The matter was finally temporarily
settled when a motion was passed
authorizing Louis p. Booz. of the
coming commission to look up the
present status o. the members and
call a meeting a. & later date.

SEEK contributions FOR
MATAWAN LAKE PROJECT

MATAWAN, Jan. 10-Efforts are
being made this week to obtain
pledges of contributions FOR the dam
10 be erected at Ravine Drive in
order to create a lake on the west
erly side of the borough At meet
ing of the Matawan Lake Commit
tee Incorporated, in the Matawau
b. nix on Saturday night, it was
learned that the dam can be built
tor about $4,000, and it was the
opinion of those attending the meet
ing that this money could be raised
without much difficulty from the
property residing along the
land which will border the lake.
Most of this land at the present time
is undeveloped and the vast demand
it would have if the lake is built has
led the committee to believe that
the dam will begin in the early
spring.
The plans for the dam have been
prepared by w. w. Young, an ex-
pert engineer of New York city, and
from figures obtained to date it is
the opinion of the engineer and
committee in charge of the WORK
that it will cost between $4,000
and $4,000 to construct, rather
than $4,000 or $4,000 as first hs-
ured N.
A meeting of the committee will
be held again on next Saturday
hight at which time reports will be
made on the work of the week.

Eratulate myself and you on the
high personnel of the council who
will serve with me.
There are a great many things
reeded for a better Jamesburg, but
with the ever-increasing need for
economy, we must move slowly and

ing the foundations for others to be
completed as funds can be acquired

tional, and the knowledge of the
problem required for the Inaugural
ton of prompt measures of relief.
Obviously the first thing to do Is
to bring about a better coordination
and uniication of existing facilities
so as to secure a maximum of eff
cheney at a minimum of expense and
delay . The report discloses that
much can be done in that respect.
That work needs to be begun now,
0 next year or the year after Or
some indefinite time in future. The
approval of the plan is essential to
the first step.
The Port of New York with its
bays and rivers, it's 500 miles of
water front. much Sof it still unde-
veloped. offers unrivaled natural
advantages capable of almost limit
less development to handle not only
the vast commerce which now origi-
r.ates in, comes to or passes through
The port. but the natural increase of
that commerce as well.
The question now is whether those
Inrivaled advantages shall longer
he handicapped by obsolete and in
adequate methods and facilities.
The subject has been debated for
years. Congress is Watching, the
rest of the country is watching, to
see whether the measures which
have been promised to relieve the
commerce of the country are really
going to be taken.
The time has now come for action
Further delay will be notice to the
country not to rely on the promised
measures of relief, and will acceler-
ate the DRIFT away from the Port Of
New York and the effort to commit
the federal government to a vast
expenditure for another outlet to the
sea,
l submit the matter to the legisla-
ture trusting that prompt action
will be taken.
