LOAN
DRIVE SUCCESS
,OOO So Far Subscribed in
Connection With This
PraiseWorthy Effort

Subscriptions to the amount-of al
most $1,000 have been pledged by
the members of the Perth Anrboy
Teachers Association for the estab-
liShmcut OF a students loan FUND in
this city and it is expected that an
organization for the administration
of the tuid will be formed at the
next meeting of the association Mon
day afternoon.
The object of the establishment of
such fund is to give worthy stu
dents who are not well Oil financi-
ally an opportunity to gain an educa-
tion by Ioaning them the necessary
money. Many children who have eX-
ceptional ability are unable to receive
the educations they deserve because
of their lack of funds and under the
plan of the local association some
of these viii! be aided by loans the
money to be paid back later on with
interest at low rate. TIE system
has been used in many other COM
munities and has met with great sue
cess
The suggestion that Perth Amboy
establish such Il fund was made last
summer by a lecturer who appeared
on the Chautauoua platform. The
i'iftl Iiitl WITH ldNti stbt's IttfDIlbiI
hero and the teachers association
took the matter up, with the prcsen,
result.
The local teachers have pledged
themselves to give almost 81 900, and
it is planned to add more to this
sum. The teachers have sacrificed
themselves to some extent in rails
ing the amount. but they feel that
th, will hn rnn1f1
ity for education afforded deserving
children. The money is returned
with interest by the recipients and
in this way the total amount availa-
bic is always increasing.
Whereve" tried the plan has PROV
cd to he a success. The Smith stu
dent aid society at Madison is an ex-
ample of the working plan. At Mad
ison the original sum raised was ST.
$50. but it has been loaned and re-
paid with interest so many times
that it now amounts to $3.9J0.21. In
most instances the repayment of
suns loaned has been prompt and
numbers OF worthy students have
been aided.
constitution governing the op-
orati0n Of the local fund has been
ADOPTED by the teachers association
!!2re and next Monday Il board of
directors will be elected for its admin
istratiOn. The board will consist of
five teachers and four others who are
not teachers.
The Rotary club of the city has
endorsed the movement and it is felt
that the club will he of material as
sistance. The teachers have gotten
the movement under way in good
style and the rest seems to be up To
the city. Miss Grace Sage is reading
n play at the high school audito-
rum on Thursday. February 16, for
the benefit Of the fund ard all are
invited.

.--4-- NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 15. L
The formation of a Republican Club
for Middlesex county is expected at
the meeting of county Republicans
to be Icld here tonight. The COM
mittee arranging the gathering has
been al work for some time on the
session and a large crowd is antic-
pated.
1t is possible that a boom for
Robert Carson as n member of the
State Republican committee will be
launched tonight. Frederic Schnci-
der. present state committeeman
made 1t known a few weeks ago
that he would not seek reelection to
the post and the party organization
desires a worthy successor to take
Mr.. Schneider's place 1t is thought
that Robert Carson will fill the bill
admirably and his name will proba-
bly, be mentioned strongly tonight.
There is little doubt that a New
Brunswick man will get the post in
view of the fact that the county
chairman is a Perth Amboy man
and the desire is to even things up
a bit in G.. O. L. honors. With the
field narrowed down to the county
seat the trend of Republican opinion
points to Mr.. Carson.

Both Fords and SeWaren Peo-
Pile in Effort to Quit
Woodbridge
SEWAREN PEOPLE ACTIVE
Petition Received at Meeting
of Township Committee on
Annexation Movement

A movement for the annexation of
Fords to this city as well as Sewaren.
has begun. The preliminary meeting
was held in this city last night in the
office of City Attorney Leo Gold
berger. Mr. Goldberger when ques-
toned upon the matter today either
refused to deny or confirm 1t. How
ever, it has been learned from sew
eral sources that such meeting
was held and the some of the leading
men of F'ords were present and
manifested much interest in the mat
ter.
Great inte rest IS being shown in
the hearing tc be neld at Trenton on
Fehruar. -, i'll connection with the
Sew3-en annexation bill. Although
some of the residents of Sewaren will
it is understood be against the an
nexaiion bill there will be many per-
sous present fror, Sewaren fayoring
the measure.
1t is understood that the desire
on the part of large number OF
Fords residents to make Fords a
part of this city has been causing
considerable comment in that Sec
ton for the past several months.
In fact, it is claimed that Fords was
the first part of Woodbridge town
ship to consider annexation proceed
ings, but the movement did not pro-
gress very far until after the annex
alton proceedings of Sewaren were
begun. This brought the Fords
proposition to n head and at the
meeting last night it is understood
that those who favor the annexa-
zion were Informed by Mr.. Gold
bergec of the first legal steps to be
taken in the matter.
1t was rumored several days ago
that a meeting of Fords property
owners favoring annexation 20 Perth
Amboy had been held, but no one
seemed willing to give out anything
for publication. The meeting at
that time was probably held to ar
range for the meeting held in this
city last night. 1t has been impos-
sible to learn as yet whether or not
a committee has been organized to
carry on the annexation proceedings
or whether the property owners who
desire to annex to this city are still
working as a body and have not
perfected an organization.
In view IF the fact that those fav-
oripg GnncXa sion nave been enlight-
ened as IT, III frs. proceedings in
such q movs, it is likely that some
definite actl1 viii. be taken in the
near fl.ure - push the matter. AL
though il is understood that large
number Of property owners in Fords
were present at the meeting, it is
said that many more were expected
to attcn;; hut the bad weather of last
night is IT, lcught to be responsible fo~
their absence
Interest in the Sewaren annexation
bill is growing day by day and it is
expected that by the date of the
hea.ing there viii he many ready to
make The trip t. Trenton, not only
residents Of Sewaren. but also those
residing in this city and Woodbridge.
It is expected that a big fight will he

GRANT REHEARING IN CASE
OF ALLEGED SHORT WEIGHTS

A rehcaring of the short weight
case involving the Perth Amboy
Coal Company has been granted by
Recorder Harold r. Pickersgill and
will be held next Monday morning
The concern was fined 500 yester-
day morning on charges preferred
by Henry ,Toft. sealer of weights and
measures, as was the Raritan Coal
Company on a similar accusation.
The Perth Amboy Coal Company
engaged counsel following the ver-
dict of the court and this morning
Harry Golenbock appeared before
the recorder and asked new hear
ing, maintaining that he was pre-
pared to prove there had been no
fraud intended. According to Mr..
Golenbock the case grew out of Il
misunderstanding. Gus Pappas, OF
the Boston Confectionery, was the
complainant and a dispute arose
when the coal ordered by Pappas
was CT ntained in forty-two bags in
stead of forty bags of 100 pounds
each.
A mistake in the weighing of the
wagon by Mr.. Toft is declared to
have been responsible for tho short
weight allegation and the case will
be settled next Monday morning.
