BAND CONCERT TONIGHT

People residing in that section of the city surround
inr School No. 4 will be entertained tonight at the third o Il
the series of band concerts made possible by the contripu-
tions Of generous citizens who saw by this innovation a way
to hiring cheer and wholesome entertainment into the lives
81 people here. The program which will be given by the
popular Columbus Italian Band is an excellent one and no"
that the recently rainy spell seems to have passed denshuul
weather is predicted for tonight's concert, which WILL wi'h'
out doubt, attract a large crowd.
AS the concerts are continued the success of this fea-
ture of municipal entertainment is made manifest. Many
were skeptical when the concert venture was first attempted
but the large crowds that attend the first two entertainments
showed that the concerts are just what Perth Amboy has
wanted for years. There is also every indication that pub
lie demand will cause another series of like events next
summer.
The idea of giving a concert in each section of the city
is also proving popular as was shown at last weeks concert.
Other concerts to u follow will cover the entire city. All ar
rangements have been completed by the Park Commission
for tonight, preparations having been made for a record
crowd. Another concert will be given next week, the place
to be announced tomorrow.

u. S. GOVERNMENT MAP

Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskia

WASHINGTON. July $3.50
many people come to my door and

chief of the Map Division of the
Library of Congress made this re-
mark, and he made it rather sadly.
There is as much of the picturesque
in Mr.. Phillips division as in any
part of the great library. But the
public thinks of a map as a dull, abb
stract outline of a country. So, more
often than not, visitors pass by and
miss seeing the map with the picture
of the o~ne-legged man holding his
foot over him like an umbrella.

would be swamped with visitors. But
side-show advertising is beneath
governmental dignity. Mr.. Phillips
has perhaps gone as far as this dig
nifty permits when he placed a
swinging rack of quaint old six
teenth century maps just inside his
door.

elers for information about distant
countries Just as map makers do to-
day. Sometimes they were deceived.
Travellers exaggerated Or reported
weird traditions as facts. Sir John
Vaudeville, famous traveller of the
fourteenth century, is responsible
for the onelegged man. Mr.. Phil
lips points out that Mandevilles
book Of travels contains the same
picture that the map maker used q
couple of centuries later. Mande
willie added a description TO his pic

AMERICAN CHURCHES RAISE
HALF BILLION DOLLARS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The
Churches of America raised during
their last respective fiscal years at
least a half billion dollars.
Reports from the various religious
bodies gathered by the Federal
Council of Churches and published
in its Year Book of the churches
give the exact figures as $48S,424,-
084, but they do not tell the whole
story. Owing to the various meth
DDS of gathering statistics in the
different churches some Of the re-
ports include only part of the total
amounts raised. Some for instance,
report missionary offerings only. In
many cases the figures represent a
minimum.
OF the total raised, the combined
Methodist bodies lead with $780,
730,479, the Roman Catholic church
Is second with $75,368,z94. The
combined Baptists are third with
S60.79S,534.
These figures show that each of
the 46,242.130 church members of
| the country gives at least $40 per
year to the support of his church
and its work.
From the figures available the L.
l04, 029 members of the Protestant
Episcopal church are the most gem
erous of the larger c~ommunions,
average gift being $3.50 a year.
The 397,05S members of the Pres
byterian church in the United States
(South) are second with a per cap
tia gift of $30.54. Third place is
held by the members of the Presby-
terrain church in the United States
of America (North) with an annual
gift of $27.31 each.

STATEMENTS

TRENTON, Aug. 30:-Chief JUS
tice Gummere in an opinion filed to-
day upholds the reappointment act
introduced and passed at the last
legislature by which Hudson and
Morris counties lose M assembly
nan each and Union and Bergen
gain one seat. The law was spon-
sored by Assemblyman Dater of
Bergen.
Under the act Hudson county, the
Democratic stronghold of the state,
will have only eleven instead of
twelve assemblymen; Norris will
have one instead of two; and Ber-
gen and Union, each now having
three, will have four representatives
In the lower House.
The act was attacked in the SUI
preme court by Anthony Botti and
others of Hudson county to compel
John ]. McGovern, Hudson county
CLERK, through mandamus proceed
ings to accept the filing of nominat-
ing petitions for twelve assembly
candidates. McGovern refused to
accept the petitions because of the
Dater act.
In the attack upon the law it was
held that the act was passed In 1922
when it should have been passed in
1921 in conformity with the consti-
tuition requiring a reapportionment
to be made at the first session of the
legislature following a federal cen
sus. The census was taken in 1920,
Chief Justice Gummere in his
opinion holds hat the law was prop
erly enacted and is constitutional
He declares that the duty of the
Legislature in the matter is a contin-
uous one, and could be done by any
legislature in the ten years between
