|SCARLET FEVER EPIDEMIC
ALARMING IN MATAWAN

MATAWAN, April 1f.-Because
Matawan seems to be on the verge
of an epidemic of scarlet fever, a
meeting of the Matawan Township
Board of Education has been called
for tonight TO decide whether or not
il is advisable TO close the schools
in the district for a short period
of time. The borough council also
meets tonight and it is likely that
this body will discuss measures TO
safeguard the borough against a
further spread of the disease.
Among the two recent cases re-
ported are those of Frank Howard
Lloyd. Jr., the young son of Council
man and Mrs. Frank Howard Lloyd.
and Professor Downs of the high
school faculty. Professor Downs
was taken i'll last night and at once
removed to the residence of Council
man Lloyd, which at the present
time is under quarantine. Council
man Lloyd is principal of the Mata-
wan High School and superintendent
of the Matawan township schools.
There have been several cases OF
scarlet fever in the borough during
the past few months, but a few
DAYS ago it was reported hat nearly
all of the cases here we're recover
ing. Today, however, when a fresh
outbreak of the disease threatened
the borough, it was decided to take
drastic measures to stop all chance
of a spreading of the illness. 1t is
understood that several people are
already keeping their children from
school.

NATAWAN LAKE ;
COST $4,000
Will be Built on East Side of
Borough, According to
Present Plans

MATwAN. April ia lake to
cos. not more than $1,000 to con-
sttuct viii be built on the east side
OF the borough. according to the
pressnt pans of the Matawan Lake
Committee. inc. Some days ago the
proposition to build a lake on the
west side of the borough at a cost
Of $4,000 was given up when it was
found that one of the largest prop
erty holders along the proposed lake
would not sign up for a contribution
and that others were not any too
keen for the lake as planned. These
plans called for the building OF a
dam at Kavine drive. making a lake
about one mile and a half long with
"A drive way about il of about sever
miles.
The present proposed lake is to be
IN the ravine commonly known as
Gravely Rrook. A lake on this ra-
vine would cost but little to con-
struct as good bottom would be
found for the dam and the county
already has, high iron bridge over
the ravipe which could be strength
ened so as Il guard ii against the
action OF the water, it is said. The
dam would be constructed at the
county bridge over the creek at Main
street south of the New York and
Long Branch railroad station. and
the water would back Up further
than the Holmdel road, making a
mile or mere OF lake.
At q recent meeting of the Mata-
wan Lake Committee Incorporated,
1t was announced that over $4,000
had already been subscribed for the
dam The dam of the new proposed
lake will be twelve feet high.
During all the proceedings for the
dam at Ravine Drive, the citizens
of the borough did not warm up to
the lake proposition. as the major
ity OF them wanted the smaller lake
constructed on the east side OF h
borough. claiming that IL the dam
was built at Ravine Drive. IT would
be the end of a big lake. 1t is held
that a smaller lake construct
ed on the east side OF the borough
will meet with popular approval and
that no difficulty will be expert
enced in obtaining enough subscrip-
lions to meet the cost of construct
ing the dam.

Mother. Come on, Mother. One step,
Mother. Only one. I can't reach
you. You must take just n step.
Look, Mother, here's my hand. Can't
