Sees Bright Future for Bor-
ough-- Christmas Tree Event
Plans Before Body

METUCHEN, Dec. 19-The last
meeting of the year of the borough
council held last night wound up
with congratulations and a rising
vote of thanks followed by a reso-
luton by the council for the record
ing OF service and efforts in the past
six years for the borough by Fred
c.. Ayres, councilman and chair
man of the street committee, who
retires from the office at the end
of the year. Mr.. Ayres refused to
run for reelection.
IT have done my duty and every
ma should strive to do the same"
said Mr.. Ayres. II feel Metuchen
will enter soon an era OF prosper
ity" he continued. Referring to the
recent move pertaining to sewers
he added: II know of no other in
vestment that will bring larger re-
turns than an adequate system Of
sewers"
Mr.. Ayres suggested the forma-
ton of a board Of public works,
same to meet weekly for the bet
terment of the borough's interests.
Permission was granted to the
Borough Improvement League some
time ago for the erection Of a
I'll L4SS aAe ttoe A6AAk S-AS
council authorized the lighting
commission to provide the needed
current for the illumination. The
tree will be placed on the vacant
borough lot corner Middlesex ave-
nue. and Main street.
The Board of Health urged the ap
preparation Of 500 in next years
budget for the maintenance Of a
dismal swamp drainage. The
| swamps were drained last year by
| the Mosquito determination Com
| mission of New Jersey the cost
| having been covered partly by the
Raritan township and Metuchen.
The council will ask again this year
| for the provision of funds from
Raritan for the work.
Councilman Ayres reported to the
committee that all work on streets
and sidewalks on North Main
street has been suspended for the
| winter. Part of the walk and the
east side pavement of the street
is completed and open for use. The
work will probably be resumed in
April Mr. Ayres said.
Borough Attorney Benner report
| ed tho results of the conference of

| cause of water supply of the va
| riious boroughs under discussion.
Whether to purchase the plants or
| enter into contracts for water sup
ply is now left to the borough for
consideration. The George M. Full
led Construction Co. is being en-
ployed to investigate the condi-
tions of the plant, while West
Film Company have been engaged
to look into the financial side Of it.
Both experts agree that the plant
would be self-sustaining and that
all claims regarding the advisable
ity of purchase is well founded.
The council will probably go before
the legislature to authorize the bor-
ough for the entering into a COR
tract and allow the investments Of
funds for that purpose.

WORK HALTED
At NEW FERRY
Men Called From Proposed
Terminal at Sea Breeze
for Winter

TOTTENvILLE, Dec. 19:-Ail
work was stopped at the proposed
new ferry terminal at Sea, Breeze
Point Saturday for the winter by
the department of plants and struc.
lures of the city of New York when
the twenty-five or thirty men, car
penters and laborers employed there
packed up their tools and left. This
action is said to have been taken
partly because of the weather con
ditions and partly for the need o.
the carpenters in the taking ove by
the plants and structures Of the
Union Ferry Company running be-
tween Manhattan and Brooklyn on
Saturday it is said. A Waterman is
the only man now in charge at the
proposed terminal for the ferry be-
tween Tottenville and South Amboy.
The work of building the new
terminal at Sea Breeze was started
early in the spring and it was be-
1ieved that everything would be fin
ished for operation before the first
OF the year. Carpenters and dock
builders were working in three
shifts at one time during the past
summer with an effe-t to get the
terminal well under way for opera
ton but a visit to the place recently
disclosed the fact that the work of
building the slips and dock ap-
proach is not half finished and from
all appearance there would be no
ferry running by next summer.
Only part of. each OF the two slips
have been completed and the ap-
proach to the ferry landing is about
in the same condition. The holding
up OF the work is also believed to be
done because of nothing having
been done on the South Amboy side
for the terminal there to connect on
the New jersey shore.
