WOODBRIDGE, Sept. 12:-The
$50 or more persons present at the
meeting of the Township Committee
here last night who expected to see
firew orkS when the subject of the
police patrol was brought up for
discussion were disappointed, for
the matter was not dwelt upon to
any extent. From all appearances
the differences between Committee
men William Hoy, George Lufbury
and j. p. Salter have been smooth
ed over and when the matter of the
wrecking of the ambulance came up
it was passed over SO nicely that it
was some seconds before some Of
the spectators were aware that the
skids had been placed under what
ever gloom there was between the
committeeman and nothing but JOY
reigned in its place.
When the attention of the COM
mitteemen was called to the recent
accident of the patrol, and the re-
port of the police had been received
the matter was referred to the police
committee for investigation. 1t is
believed today that the matter will
die in the committee and that moth
ing more will be heard of it. Prior
to the meeting all indications point
ed to a bitter clash between Hoy,
Lufbury and Salter. and the fact
that everything passed off so nicely
is the cause of much comment in
this section of the township.
