subject to weather conditions, A
large tree has been given by Il mem
Der of the church, and it viii he ser
IN place before Sunday, December
"a the date when it will first be

The details are being carried out
Jointly by the board of trustees, of

and we trust that not only the boys
and girls of Perth Amboy will en-
Joy 1t, but also all people who live

The present plan is TO light the

and remain in the warn building
until it is entirely dark. Then we
shall go outside for the tree-light-

DELAY
At METUCHEN
Lincoln Highway Not Likely
to be Completed by this
Winter

METUCHEN. Dec. 6.-The eff
forts of the State Highway Com
mission to have the contractors lay
ing. the new state highway, between
Highland Park and this place, fin
ishN the roa dbefore the coolest part
of the winter sets in, have appar-
emily failed and the prospects are
that the western side of the road,
whic his only partly. completed, VIII
be temporarily repaired so that n
full width of the road will be avail
able during the winter.
The eastern half of the road a
heen completed and part OF the
western half is now finished also.
An inspection by members OF tina
highway commission within the last
week has shown that the W~arrenite
surfacing now being laid is not nv-
ing up to expectations. the cold
weather making it impossible to do
a perfect job with this material
which must retain its heat during
the rolling out process. Consequent
ly instructions were given by the
resident engineer this week to stop
laying any more of the Warrenite
surface.
The concrete foundation can be
protected from the cold and this
work will be continued to compile
ton. If it is decided to discontinue
the laying of the Warrenite surface
/. seems probable that cinders will
be laid on the concrete base in or
der to make the full width of the
road available during the winter,
In the spring these cinders will be
removed and the warm weather will
make possible the laying of the
Warrenite surfacing.
The highway commission has been
DESTROYS of having the road complet-
ed this winter but members declare
they do not wish to sacrifice the
quality of the road merely for the
sake of speeding up the work under
unfavorable conditions.
No definite decision has been
reached as to what course will be
pursued but it is likely this decision
will be arrived at either tomorrow
or Friday when the State Highway
Commission meets.

stands for complete and constant
freedom without special privilege

1.-The application of this policy to
the question of the straits is not
difficult. We desire for the good of
our interests as we'll as for the good
of all, including those people and
nations that border on the Black

that they would be accessible to the
commerce of the world. Accessible
ity to that ommerc is their right.
