ACTION ON STREET LIGHTS
DEMANDED BY so. AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY, Feb. 2S-Just
what action is needed in order to
make the Monmouth Lighting Com
pany come to terms in the matter
of caring for lighting facilities
throughout the city and immediate
action on application for service by
the company, seems to battle the
council.
Al the present time the lighting
company is without a contract with
this city. With or without a con-
tract complaints have been receiv-
ed from subscribers and property
owners where street lights have been
out for want of attention. The mat
ter was again brought before the
city fathers last night by Council
man Disbrow, who said:
There must be some way to penal
ize this company for violations. !
suggest the employment of stringent
methods with this company which
continually d~isregards all laws. ]
want at this time to bring to the
attention of this body, cases where
| can safely say. the light has not
been lit for six months, and the
property owners need this little pro-
lection, especially where there is no
police" Continuing, Mr.. Disbrow
said:
Il work with a corporation where
a breach of contract is enforced.
Why this city cannot make the light
ing company live up to an agreement
is beyond me-"
1t was Acting Mayor Stanton who
advised the council that there was
no contract with the lighting COM
pany at the present time. He also
acquainted the body with complaints
he had received of late where prop
erty have held up with light
ing improvements even though they
had paid their fee for such service.
Councilman Disbrow is al the
present time preparing for the con
s%ideration of the committee of lights
a system which may be used to adj
vantage in this city. 1t is likely that
the plans will be presented to the
council at the next regular meeting.

death drew Il black curtain behind
which lay nothing but the dark? So
all in whom the spark of home has
not died can we'll believe that we. to
whom the soldier is Il mystery, are
not mystery to him. They can be-
lieve that the watchers at Arlington
today are not merely a few thousand
OF the living, but The countless bat
talions of the departed. Though he
were dead yet shall he live"-therc is
the promise to which men hold when
everything of this earth has slipped
away.
All the Impressive ritual of today
would be mockery If we>did not be-
Ieve that, out in an infinity which
astronomers cannot chart or mathe-
maticians bound, the unknown soldier
and all the glorious dead whom we
honor in his dust are looking down
upon this little spinning ball, con-
sc.ous Of our reverence. And when noon
strikes, signal for the moment Of ST
lent prayer, few of those who stand
with barred head will lack conviction
that the rites at Arlington are viewed
by other than mortal eyes. Only III
that spirit may we honor the un-
known soldier and those who, like
him, died for this republic.
Unknown, but not unknowing.

years may bring erosion to the granite

lad who left his hoe TO rust among
the Missouri corn? A longshoreman
from Hcll's Kitchen? Perhaps some
youth from the tobacco fields, resting
again in his own Virginia. All that
the army tells us of him is that he
died in battle. All that the heart tells
is that some woman loved him. More

Stones are commonly found in the
