MATAWAN LAKE
NOW ASSURED
Actual Work Will be Started
in Short Time,. is Outlook
in Borough

MATAWAN, Nov. 15.-After years
of wishing and millions of words
wasted in talking, Matawan is at
last to have a lake. Action taken
last night by the borough council, in
passing the park ordinance on final
reading makes the lake a possibility
and it is likely that before many
weeks roll around actual work on
its construction will be started. The
park ordinance was made necessary
by the fact. that n piece of prop
erty at the head of the proposed
Flake on the easterly side of the bor-
ough could not be purchased with
out condemnation proceedings, and
this could only be done through the
passing of such an ordinance.
About fifty public spirited persons
attended the meeting and all spoke
in favor of the council passing the
ordinance which appropriates $5,-
500 for the purchase and condemna-
ton Of the property. Charles E.
Close was the principal speaker of
those present and informed the
council that the dam for which
plans had been drawn and accepted
by the Matawan Lake Committee,
Inc, would cost about $4,000 to
construct and that over $1,000 Of
LIlLS dIlOuHL hdo Oil Cdoy bCOll Sob-
scribed. Councilman-elect William
H. Diggin, who has been on the
committee obtaining subscriptions,
said that ninety per cent of the peo-
pie of the borough want n lake
and that there are about one per
cent who would not give ten cents
to see an earthquake.
Opposition to the passing Of the
ordinance at this time was made by
Councilman William v. Clark. who
held that about $~177,000 will have
to be raised for necessities. which
include sewers schools and addition
to water works. and that he believed
the borough should not spend the
money necessary for the purchase Of
the property which he said was a
luxury. Councilman E. l.. Lisk
thought the same about the matter
and he and Councilman Clark voted
no while the rest of the board voted
yes, thus assuring the construction
of the long talked of lake for Mata-
wan. During the public hearing
when it was a question whether or
mot the council would pass the ordi-
nance Floyd Taylor, of the A. P.
.Munning Company, said that he
would be ashamed of the town II h
proposition was blocked.
Following the passage of the or
dinance those present gave the
council a rising vote of thanks.
That the ordinance was passed
Is due to a great extent to the fact
that Mayor William H. Sutphin,
when the ordinance came up on
first reading and the vote of the
council resulted in a tie, voted to
pass the ordinance on first reading,
thus giving it a public hearing
when citizens could be present and
present their views on the matter.

draped skirts. 1t is not that we are
behind the times by protesting. We
simply are not slaves Of fashion"
Throughout the country promi-
nent women are rallying to the sup
port of the short skirt.
Pastor Joins
Rev. John Thompson, pastor of
Chicago's First Methodist church,
and noted as a religious leader,
shares this view.
Constant changes in women's
dress are little less than insane" de-
clares the pastor. THE new long
skirt vogue represents a willy way
of getting money. The short skirt
was the best dress ever devised for
women"
In Flint, Mich. resentment against
the long skirt has resulted in organ
ization of the mo Longer Skirt
Club" This poo-poes the Partisan
dictates, and seeks to have skirts
ten inches from the ground. A move
to carry the work to other cities is
being considered by Mrs. Eva Peck,
president of the club.
In Los Angeles short skirt pro-
ponents are rallying around DR.. Ma
rion Tracie Whiting, president of
the fashionable South Side Ebell
Club, and Mrs. Frances Noel, chair
man of the woman's committee of
the California Federation of Labor.
Emancipation Call
sit is high time that American
womanhood, with its Wanted eman-
cipation, break away from CONNER
cialized styles in clothes which may
prove inimical to both health and
comfort says Mrs. Noel.
There is another big factor in
American life that even ahead of or
g~anization, is dealing with the long
skirt "'peril.'' That is the big army
of women in business-the millions
of feminine stenographers, clerks,
secretaries, nurses and others who
have found the short skirted, COM
Portable dress a big factor in their
efficiency. Women refuse to yea
the longer clothes at their work.

HARMONY BETWEEN PEACE OFFICERS IS MAINTAINED
UNDERWORLD FAILS IN EFFORTS TO CAUSE RUPTURE

Considerable politics is said to
have entered tho local situation and
II is reported that attempts are bo-
ing made 10 bring pressure to bear
on officials from many sources.
The effort to inject political en-.
nifty or feeling into the activities
here and the plan to discredit high
state officials through charging them
with direct cleanup activities, Is
held chiefly chargeablo to the effort
OF underworld agents who have
como to realize that a change of any
kind might DO beneficial as the rigid
law enforcement activities OF pres
emit officials here has made Casper
too warm for them.
In a semi-official statement from
tho state law enforcement depart
ment full credit vas given Sheriff
Marquis and Mr.. Purcell for the
close cooperation given on every
hand. The statement assures that
the state officials believe that Cas-
per and Natrona county facing the
hardest problems in the state. are
getting the most effective results.
Never once has an agent of the
state law enforcement department
been Handicapped in a single in.
stance by the sheriff's office. We
have had full cooperation of Sheriff
Marquis and his forces and although
these men have been tested many
times they have always proven loyal
and IT a Misunderstanding organiza-
ton"
Never once have officers of this
county betrayed tho confidence of
officials in cleanup endeavors despite
published reports to the contrary.
1t was specifically stated that
agents of tho law enforcement de-
partment have never gone over the
heads of local county officials and
every visit which mas been made to
Casper has come at the direct re-
quest CT Sheriff Marquis.
During the period that Sheriff
Marquis has been the incumbent Of
