MORE: AGAINST
SUNDAY MOVIES
Lords Day Alliance Urges
Christian Churches to Op-
pose Measure

TRENTON, Jan. 26--In an appeal
to Christian churches of New Jersey
the fourteenth annual convention of
Lords Day Alliance in session here
this afternoon urged support in the
campaign to defeat the senate Simp-
son bill providing for a popular
referendu..l to permit Sunday mov-
ing pictuers and outdoor sports.
Senator Simpson. of Hudson, an
ticipating the conventions attitude
on the bill, threw bombshell into
the meeting by the issuance of a
statement declaring he would move
for early action in the legislature on
the Sunday liberalizing measure.
Spokesman for the Lords Day AL
lance declared that the so-called
Blue Laws which Mr.. Simpson seeks
to nullify We're sufficiently liberal
ized in 1893 to conform with twen-
tieth century ideas of Sabbath OBJ
SerVance.
The alliance called puplic atten-
ton to the fact that the Sunday
motion picture Ill was killed by the
1921 legislature and that the chan
cellor of state a few months ago up
held the vice and immortality act as
still valid in every particular. Men
tion was also made by the alliance
that sheriffs in the various counties
have the power to interVe where
municipal police chiefs refuse to en-
force laws against Sunday moving
pictures.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY FOR
PASSING BAD CHECKS

Charles Tabrowsl<i of 373 New
street, is held for the action of the
grand jury under bail of $500 as
the result of his hearing in the
police court this morning when he
was arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgill on charge of issuing
checks without sufficient funds to
back them up. The complainant in
the action is Joseph Prohamer, of
Monmouth Junction. a farmer who
claims he sold potatoes to the de-
fendant and received the bad checks
in payment.
Harry S. Medinets represented
Tabrowski and David WilentZ look
ed after Prohamer's affairs. The
hearing was featured by several
passages of spirited repartee by the
opposing attorneys. Mr.. Medinets
accused Mr. Wilentz's client of Civ
ing false testimony and Mr., Wileniz
seemed to resent that fact. Biting
remarks flew back and forth for
some minutes enlivening an other
wise uninteresting case.
1t was brought out that Tabrow-
ski had purchased a consignment of
potatoes and had rendered check
for $40 in payment. The farmer
later discovered that the check was
worthless.

Deny CLAIMS MADE
ON DENTAL CLINIC

There Is evidence that the latest
report of tie Board of Health con-
cerning tEe denial clinic wherein it
is state.. that the $4,000 appropriate
ed by the BoarI of Aldermen for
this purpose is insufficient to carry
the iroject through on fun time if it
is commenced Immediately, will not
remain unCEallenged from various
sources. Ii is claimed emphatically
tina. this amour is entirely suffi-
cient providing the health commits
sioners stick to their agreement
which provided the use of the clinic
rooms free II charge and the assist
ance of their field nurses in the dem
tai ftlloW-up work.
Outside the members of the
Board of Health representation all
the members on the dentGl clinic
committee which was formed here
when the project was still in en-
bryo and which has functioned with
great success since the establish
ment opened, feel very strongly that
the clinic should be run on full
time with a regular attending opcr-
ator beginning Immediately
Various phases of the situation
have been put forth since the atti-
tude of the Board of Health has
been learned. In the first place
according to the statements of
members of the clinic committee
the Board of Health was informed
through it's representatives that if
an appropriation of $4,000 proved
insufficient to carry the clinic
through toward the end of the year,
the entire original clinic committee
would itself appear before the Board
of Aldermen and petition additional
funds. 1t was also said that this
was perfectly agreeable to the
health commissioners. The assur-
ance of a full time clinic to begin
at once, it is said was made by the
health board if they took over all
supervision.
Then again. the thorough possibil
ity of covering al, expenses with the
$4,000 is estimated in the following

structure which is an important
link in Route of the state highway
system. M Strauss will work un-
der the direction OF the State High
way BoarC and STATE Highway En-
gineer Thomas J. Wasser.
The State Highway Commission
has adopted resolutions under which
it will purchase two important toll
bridges which are links in the road
system i'll Ocean county. One is the
so-called Island Heights Seaside
Park bridge which is to be pur-
chased for $17S,600 on March l.,
and the other is the Long Beach
Turnpike or Manahawken bridge,
the total cost of which will be $96.-
112.S3. Both are toll bridges and
when the state takes them over they
will be free to passage without
charge to the motorists.
The state will pu chase them
from the two companies which built
the structures on funds raised by
issues of stock which were subscrib-
ed to by many residents of this sec
tion of the state. The two compa-
nies are known as the Island
Heights-Seaside Park Bridge Com
pany, and the Long Beach Turnpike
Company. In connection with the
iiLlti tue iIi6hNey COMMISSION llttS
arranged to pay cash to the amount
of $56,112.S3 and it is understood
will assume the company's obliga-
tons represented by 100000 bond
issue which is outstanding on the
bridge provided this plan is ap-
proved by the attorney general. 1t
is assumed that the state will thus
meet this obligation as it comes up
from time to time with funds pro-
vided for the purchase of tol roads.
According to information here,
the people who put their money in
to the companies which built the
bridges have never received divi-
dend The state is, therefore, reim-
bursing them only to the amount of
t. -ir original stock subscriptions. 1t
was explained that while the prop
critics have naturally decreased IN
value, yet 1t was only fair in view
of the important convenience rem
dered to the travelling public by
those who subscribed money to
make the bridges possible, that they
should receive the amounts they put
in. especially since they have real
lied no return on the investment.
The State Highway Commission is
il. doubt as to whether in re mburs-
ing counties for building state roads
it should pay them for the engineer
ing expense involved. Atlantic
county now has a claim before the
commission for some $4,000 in en-
gineering expense incident to the
construction of the Egg Harbor-
Absecon road, which cost 100000.
In one section of the reimbursement
act it seems to say that only the
actual cost of construction l. to be
paid for by the state. The commits
sion has decided to ask the attorney
general for ruling on this question.
