This motion was not seconded.
neither was any effort made on ths
part of any OF those present to bring
the matter TO head after the heal-
ed arguments that occurred earlier
IN the session. Unless some decision
was reached in the matter after the
adjournment the status of the inn
provement remains in the sama
state that it has been for the las1
TWO or three weeks.
During the discussion as TO the
temporary repairs that were su.-
gested in the curve of the road below
Ihslee street the fact was brought
out that the money that was TO Le
used in making the repairs has dur
ing the past week been transferred
10 the fund for rebuilding outer
State street.
Freebooter Quackenbush veurerca
the opinion, however. that the finan-
eng OF the repairs could be cared
Tor from other finances. while Sena-
tor Larson declared that the $4,000
alloted for the State street improve
ment would be sufficient for that
purpose as well as the necessary
Amboy avenue repairs.
A resolution was presented hv
Freeholder Quackenbush and adopt-
ed by the board. approving the plans
and specifications of County Engi-
neer Fred c. Schneider for the re-
paving Of State street. from the end
of the present brick pavement to the
Woodbridge creek bridge.
This Improvement is one OF the
few that the freeholders expect to Iet
out on contract this year and $6o.-
600 has been appropriated for the
work though the engineer asserted
Yesterday that the cost of the Job
would be between $5s.0e and
s55.000.
The resolution authorizing the ad-
vertising for bids calls for a btu
minous concrete road, though the
road schedule adopted yesterday
was more specific and designated
national pavement. the first of its
kind to be used in this county.
This surface will be laid over a
concrete base and the old stone base
will be removed and used for re-
pairing the road leading from Maui
rer TO Amboy avenue.

tenor of an article appearing in oae

would indicate that the leaders in
that county are not as optimistic

situation here yesterday and this

time threatened to be more intense
than friendly rivalry. The mayor

The city's chief executive was
waited upon yesterday morning by
a committee of young women, repre-

the Veterans were planning to sell
the poppies tomorrow. The women
maintained that they applied for this
permission two or three months ago
and it was granted them. In the

The mayor this morning informed

idea of the public wearing poppies

Famous Bard Recites "A Ballad of Princeton
Battle at Dedication.

But the British turned towards Princeton.
Came brayely back for Princeton;
And all the rest of that dim hour was
wilder than a dream.
They rushed thro' VIII Clark,s orchard,
among the naked trees;
With horse and foot they hammered hard /;
their bullets sang like bees;
And Mercer fell, and HasIet fell;
The bayonets cut up like hell;
The chain-shOt moved a bloody path beneath
the twisted trees.
1t looked all black for Princeton,
We lost our hopes Of Princeton;
We wayered, and we broke and ned as leaves
before the breeze.
Then down the hill from Tom Clark's house,
rode Washington aname.
With holy ire. through smoke and fire, like
nightly Mars he came.
Come on, my men. parade with me.
Well make the braggart redcoats nee."
And up the hill. against the guns, rode
Washington shsme. ....-..
He turned the tide at Princeton;
The land was saved at Princeton;
And they who fought. and they who fell, won
liberty and fame.
Men praise our Chief for weighty words, for
counsel calm and high,
For prudence and enduring will. for cool. far
seeing eye:
One thing he had all else above
Courage that caught the soldiers love.
And made the soldier's loyal heart In dan
gers hour beat high.
We saw Il clear at Princeton;

The men who make a nation great are men
who dare to die.

read the following poem, "A Ballad
of Princsfon Battle" written by
him for She OCCASION:
Along Assunpink's woody bank we left our
camphres bright,
While like fox with padded feet we stole
away By night;
Corvallis watched his Trenton trap,
And drained his glass, and took his nap;
But the ragged troops Of Warrington out
nanked him in the night
Up and away for Princeton,
By secret road to Princeton
We dragged our guns with munled wheels
to win another fight.
The icy trail was hard as iron. our foot
prints marked IL red;
Our frosty breath went up like smoke to
the vinking stars o'erhead;
By Bear swamp and by Miry Run.
Our muskets weighed at least a ton;
We shivered. till DER Stony Brook we saw
the sun rse red;
Weary we tramped to Princeton;
But all Of Us at Princeton,
Would follow our Chief through thick and
thin till the last Of us was dead.
We looked beyond the upper bridge. across
The swollen stream,
And there along the King'D highway we
saw the redcoats CLEAN:
Twas Mawhood's regiment marching down
To finish US on at Trenton town!
Go cut the bridge"-and Mercer's men
crept up along the stream.
