The Board of Governors of the
Perth Amboy City Hospital has de-
cided to have certain alterations and
ans extension made to the present
nurses home, plans having been
prepared by John II. Dayton. Bids
on the work will be received at the
nurses home Friday afternoon,

be gotten under way at once. II is
estimated that the addition and all
terations will cost in the neighbof-
hood of $4,000.
The present nurses home will be
greatly improved in appearance and
enlarged considerably as a result of
the changes. An addition will be
made on the east of the present
building, giving eight more bed
room on both the first and second
floors. A large reception room VIII

as a bathroom. On the front of the
building a good sized sun parlor viii

on either side.
An auditorium, with stage. will be
found on the ground floor, with
mems and women'S rooms adjoining
it. A diet kitchen will also be r
vided on this floor for use in in
structing the nurses in the prepara-
ton of foods and this will also be
used if ii is desired to prepare re-
freshments for any event being held
in the auditorium. The entrance
to the auditorium and ground
floor will be attractively designed.
Fire escapes will be added to build
ing on first and second floors. being
placed on the Groom street side of
the building. When the work has
completed there will be nine
teen bed rooms for the nurses and
the large living and reception rooms

hose in training.
As the present building is too small
10 properly accommodate those in

the plans and the contract will prob
ably be awarded shortly after the

Soldering Is the Young Mans Job;
Doing His Duty Calls for No Bonus

The American Government cannot well go too far
in caring for disabled soldiers the SICK the Grip
pied and the incapacitated. The heart -of America
goes out to all these and demands and the most
humane solcitude and for them.
But horizontal bonus to all soldiers sick or WELL
rich poor, is wholly another matter. 1t cannot be
justified because it is not sound, cannot be justified
because it is not right.
The price of citizenship to the young man is the
protection of his country Soldering is his job 1t
the job of his mother, his father his sister Sol
diering is the job of the young man. and in this capac

The American Legion is almost en-
tirely responsible for the agitation for
a soldier bonus. This organization,
which. according to its officers, is COM
posed of 100000 former service men,
has been waging a fight for a bonus
for approximately two years. The
present situation which is concerning
the entire country. is due to the de-
mand made three weeks ago by Legion
officials that Congress take immediate
action.
In addition to the American Legion
the chief veterans organization in ia
vor of bonus are the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars, composed of 10000
members; the Disabled Officers Asso-
citation, composed of $500 members,
and the Disabled Veterans of the
World War, claiming 5000 members.
All Of them are trying to get Congress
to pass the bill. which they describe as
a measure for "readjusted compensa-
ton"
