This is the fifth violation of the

Visit Perth Amboy Day, which was
celebrated here yesterday. proved to
be one of the most successful events
in the history of the city. The at
fair which was planned and direct
Ell by the Rotary and Lion clubs, ex-
ceeded all expectations and once
again has given Perth Amboy start
in the right direction to uphold its
slogan of 1.-The Pace Making City.
A feature of the day was two con-
certs- by the United States Marine
Band, the presidents own" in the
City Hall Park. 1t is estimated that
at least 10000 people heard the eve
ming concert and more than 5,000
visited the park in the afternoon.
The total receipts are $4,000, more
than enough to pay off all costs IN
connection with the event and
enough besides to wipe out the DEBT
of the Boy Scouts and again put TINS
organization on a running basis. Ac-
cording to the report or the JOINT
committee, the sale of tickets
amounted to $500 and there is stili
$500 outstanding, which amount
will clear away the Boy Scout DEBT
amounting to about $500.
Early in the morning visitors be-
gan to collect here and their pres
ence was manifested at the lunch
con hour when restaurants and
lunch rooms of the city were
crowded. Merchants generally did a
big business, some reporting that 1t
far surpassed that of any Wednes-
day for some time past.
One of the features of the occa-
sion was a joint dinner last night

members of the Rotary and Lior
