SEWER ACTION
FOR METUCHEN
Specifications for Borough
System Presented to the
Common Council

METUCHEN, Nov. THE eve
building program for the borough
was given another boost last night
at the regular meeting of the bor-
ough council, when Councilman
Jones presented the specifications
for the system. These were re-
ferred to the borough engineer with
Instructions to report at the next
meeting of the council, and to sub
init recommendations of streets to
be severed at this time.
Considerable discussion took
place ~cnnCerning the REQ: ganiza-
ton of the fire department, which
it is said is greatly handicapped in
view of h failure of the Middlesex
Water Company to furnish high
pressure water. The need of a gas
oline engine for pumping purposes
was discussed an dit was pointed out
that such an engine would cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000. This
engine ,would be able to supply four
hose lines. Because of the poor
water and fire fighting facilities it
was said that the fire insurance rate
had jumped considerably during the
past few months. The appointment
of a fire commission was suggested.
S NioS 6hSdt dCoi VI COIl-
sideration will be given fire matters
shortly.
Mayor Wilson appointed Martin
Wahlen and Augustus Banzianno as
fire marshals. The appointments
were confirmed by vote of the coun-
ell.

RECORD VOTE EXPECTED
AT MATAWAN TODAY

MATAWAN, Nov. Indications
at this time are hat both Matawan
Borough and Matawan Township
will have a record vote today. Early
this morning, almost at the opening
hours of the polls. voters began to
assemble and at 10 o'clock consid-
erably more than the usual number
of votes had been cast. The fact
that Elmer II. Geran of this bor-
ough is a candidate for congress-
man in the third congressional dis
trict, will have a tendency to get
.o~ a large vote. Most of the talk
about the borough this morning ia
vored the Democrats and especially
the election of Mr.. Geran.
The local contest between DR..
Conover H. Burlew and Peter p.
Munning. Democratic, and William
H. Diggin and George w. Parker.
Republican, for councilmen cannot
be estimated at this time. Neither
of the candidates nave worked hard
and seem to be willing to leave
the entire matter to the voters.
However, in Democratic circles it is
thought hat the big vote expected
for Elmer H. Geran, may also be
the means of electing the Demo-
cratic councilmen.

JAIL Sentence
AT JAMESbURG
Youth to Appeal Case to
Judge DAILY Result of Hal
IoWe'en Dance Fight

JAMESBURG, Nov. 6.-An echo
of the dIsorderly outbreak at the
Halloween dance, at Lange's Hall,
was the commitment to the county
workhouse Saturday for six months
of Philip Corse who defied the po-
lice and seemingly got away with it.
Charged with disorderly conduct
by Special Officer Charles Petty, 1t
the request of Officer Flumerfelt,
Corse was arrested and when taken
into headquarters said: II thought
this was all forgotten" At the hear
ing before Borough Recorder Harry
L. Emmons, Corse was found guilty
and sentenced to thirty days in the
workhouse. When being taken to a
cell Corse made a threat that he
he got OUT Corse was taken again
before Recorder Emmons and given
an additional five months-one for
each word of the threat made.
A scene was created at the Bor-
ough Hall by the relatives of Corse
and they gave verbal notice that an
appeal would be taken to the Court
of Common Pleas, before Judge
Peter F. DAILY.
Corse was taken to the county
workhouse on Saturday afternoon by
Chief of Police Fillhower and Special
officer Flumerfelt. Report had it
that a gang of Jamesburg's hard
boiled" would make an attempt to
rescue their friend on the lonesome
road to the workhouse and, true to
the reports reaching headquarters,
a ear, loaded with friends of Corse
was seen on the way to the work
house. Evidently their plans were
interrupted in some manner, for the
car bearing the crowd, alleged to be
in the plot, passed the auto bearing
young Corse near the county work
house and further than parting
words of encouragement, no attempt
was made to interfere with the off
GERS.
Corse has been before the local
court several times on various
charges and his outbreak on Tuesday
night, seemed to have been given
impetus by imbibing too strongly in
Jamesburg hooch.
Efforts of several of Jamesburg's
leading business men to have the
youth placed on parole were I'M
availing, however, as an example
will be made of Corse. In the his
tory of several years past, not n
prisoner sent to the county Jail has
served his sentence, due to influences
of business men of the town and an
exception will be made in this case.

cess of his business here. For a num-
Der of years he was connected with
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany and upon resigning from The
company he was an employe of the
Eastern Coal Dock Company az
South Amboy.
A few years later Mr.. Smith es-
tablished a real estate and insurance
business and connected Herewith
was Jacob r. Lefferts of MatawaE.
For the past two years Mr.. Smith
has conducted his real estate and
Ira business in the Schanck

lican faction.

has formerly held the office and AL
bert Vanderbilt. They are opposed
on the Democratic ticket by Alan
Polling and Edward Smith. For some
wears past there has not been a par
ticularly exciting contest in the bor-
ough and for the reason that every
office will be contested the vote to-
day is expected to be extremely
large. |
