Cigars. Cisarettesw There is a
fluted cadence to her sing-song cry
"a nightingale among the night

Broadway rounder. bounder and
wastrel. All day she works at a
telephone switchboard and at mid
night with her wooden tray and
silver coin plate weaves her way

beautiful by far than the bits OF
whirling gold and tinsel on the
stage.
In a little Harlem fat she cares

ride in limousines-at least for a
short while.

, Celeste. In the old days she held
forth in the opal radiance Of old
Maxim's. The daughter OF a French

this gay rendezvous.
/ Men fought for her. Indeed one
was pistoled. In the end she mar
ried a cast of son OF a rich man

and deserted her. She still sells

FINAL HEARING MARCH 10

ROOSEVELT March G. Vice
Chancellor Backes after hearing ar
guments as to why a permanent in
junction should not be granted
against the borough of Roosevelt,
restraining the borough from inter-
fering with tracks laid across alleged
borough street by the Mexican Pc

refused to modify the temporary in
junction until the final hearing on
March 10 He granted Il rule to
show cause however. why an inJunc

Petroleum Corporation from con-
structing oil tanks and laying rail-
road tracks near their home. For
mer Senator Thomas Brown APP
peared for Mr.. and Mrs. Bunce and
Prosecutor Joseph Z. Stricken for
the corporation.
AS soon as the temporary injunc-
ton had been granted restraining

laid. No cars have been placed on
the track as yet, however. Work
is also being continued on the oil
tanks by the iron workers.

little can be done until March 13,
when the building code ordinance
for the borough comes up for tinal
reading. 1t is expected that when
this ordinance is finally adopted that
the borough will have something or
which to base a fight against tht

damaged last year as the result OF
a tow ramming it during storm.

COUNTY TAX BOARD FIGHT ON in SENAT
PARRY FOR SHOWDOWN
ON ROAD BOND PLAN and
OPEN SPECIFICATIONS

"The New Jersey Republican
platform of 1920 promised to the
voters an open specifications law,
but their legislature of 1921 failed
to pass one. Last fall the Republi-
can platform went on record again
for open specifications, but there is
no visible evidence of an honest
open specifications law being put
through at this session.
1T is planned, however, to pass
an act providing for forty million
dollar bond issue for road construc-
ton. Is the proposed bond issue
for the special benefit of the patent
ed paving ring or is it for the state
in" general? If it is for the benefit
of the people at large, it should be
preceded for an open specifications
law prohibiting the use of patented
pavements except in competition
with non patented types, along the
lines followed by the federal govern
ment."
Senator Parry also refers to the
fact that he has received communi-
cations from road officials in forty
one states of the country favorinS
the enactment of this very piece o.
legislation. Senator Parry present-
ed his measure to the senate this
wear, and it is to that he refers
when he states that it will not be
passed this year.

Lyons Fights For 5 Bills

NEW BRUNSWICK March O.
With the avowed intention of max
ing an effort to bring three import
ant bills ID a vote tonight. Assem-
blyinan Raymond Lyons returns tt
his duties at Trenton tonight. The
assemblyman las been i'll for some
time ard lif,s lust recently recoverca
The first b;i upon which Lyons
will center his efforts will be the
Larson bill, the repeater of the tan
law. which come up for a hearing
this afternoon. Lyons will attemp'
to get the bill out of committee to-
night employing if necessary the
rule OF fifteen, he says. Indications
are that the repeater bill will be
killed because of the opposition OF
Hudson. Union and Essex counties.
The second bill is one introduced
into the legislature providing that
Livingston avenue from New Bruins
wick to Trenton be taken over by
the state highway commission. The
route in question is the most direct
between the two cities and it is felt
that the opening of the highway Will
greatly benefit traffic conditions on
the Lincoln Highway.
The third bill is the Larson OH
for the appropriation of $4,000 as
state aid to MiddleseX county on the
paving of. West avenue, SeWaren.
The bill passed the senate on Feb

ACTION PUSHED
County Board Meets Today
Want Rate Established
by the 18th

NEW BRUNSWICK, March e.
The county tax board meets in its
regular monthly session this after
noon. although President Joseph
Hermann will be unable to be pres
ent owing to illness. The board IS
expected to go over the ratable
sheets compiled by the secretary.
Every effort was being made to
announce the tax rate by the fif-
teenth of this month and the effort
was meeting with success when the
mon. yY-wrench of the supreme
court decision decla ring the tax eX-
emption law unconstitutional was
thrown into the tax board wheels.
AS the result the tax rate will not
be announced for at least a month,
it is said, because all the sheets
must be gone over for the purpose
of adding in the ratables hither,o
excluded by the exemption law ap-
plying Il new homes.
Another holdup is caused by the
fact that one-half of the municipal
budgets for 1922 have not been sub
mitted by the county borOughs and
cities. These municipalities will he
logged by the board this afternoon.
School budgets also are not being
received and this will be brought to

might he done for the benefit of the
