mon addressed to the visitors, chose
as his text certain passages from n
Bible referring to Solomon's temple
ana compared conditions as he had
found them in the Holy Land at
present, with remarks from the
scriptures. The sermon was partic-
ularly interesting to the Masons
present because of the fact that 1t

seen a number of large stones IN
Palestine which appeared to nave
.,een auarried for the purpose or
constructing a temple. and also told

To PUSH MOVE
FOR SEWAREN
New Attempt Next Year to
Have Section Join With
Perth Amboy

Although the present bill for the
annexation Of Sewaren to this city
died in the legislature, efforts to cal.
ny out the annexation of Sewaren to
this city will not be allowed to die
according to statements given out by
Isaac AIpern, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce of this city. and
Arthur Quinn, a Sewaren resident
who worked hard for the bill, efforts
will be made. next year to put
through a similar in the
state legislature. In discussing the
matter today Mr.. Alpern said:
Speaking as president of the
Chamber of Commerce, 1 feel that
Perth Amboy needs a place to extend
for resident purposes. We favored
the present move OF the Sewaren
people for annexation to Perth AM
boy, and although it did not go
through we expect 1t to go through
next year.
"All big ventures like this take
time before they are put over and are
naturally opposed by well meaning
people who do not understand the
cal value Of what annexation would
mean to Sewaren. We regret the
people Of Sewaren did not have an
opportunity to vote on the iaatter.
II am sorry that senatorial cour-
tesy has killed the bill and deprived
the people of Sewaren an opportuni-
ty to express themselves on the an
nexation question:
Mr.. Quinn, who was a staunch
supporter of the bill, said: Despite
the statement to the contrary in the
Woodbridge paper that the move
for annexation originated in Perth
Amboy, this was not the case. The
move originated among men resid-
ing in ,Sewaren who afterward took
it up with Perth Amboy men who
are interested in property in Sc
warren, knowing that if it interested
one it would also interest the other.
The matter was discussed and those
interested became enthusiastic in
developing Sewaren as a residential
section as it would stop the depre-
citation in land value now taking
place in Sewaren, and retain a small
section of waterfront for the people
and the development of a park sys-
tenn.
"The motive was misrepresented
by the opponents and the passions
and prejudice of the people appeal
ed to in order to defeat the annexa-
ton movement. Despite this mis-
representation the annexation move
ment will not stop as we + conf
dent that when people understand
the motive of annexation they will
give it their support"
