MADE:
ON n. ]. FUNDS
Appropriations Being Made
in Quick Manner by Leg
isIative Committee

TRENTON, Jan. 21-Under the
leadership of State Senator Collins r..
Allen, of Salem county, this years
Joint appropriation committee of tn.
legislature is establishing a new
record for speed in considering the
requests OF the various departments
.or state funds. The work for this
year is well under way. In other
years it has been much later
when the committee really began
to function.
The regular meetings were begun
last Monday when the members
met here in the Office of State Comp
trcller Newton A. X. Bugbee. and
before the meeting had adjourned,
mere than half a dozen accounts
had been considered. Tentative rec
concentrations only were made III
some cases because the COMMITTEES
desired time to study the requests
in detail and obtain additional in
formation which may help them ia
their final determinations
1t is the idea of Senator Allen thai
the appropriations committee at the
very opening of the legislature ana
before the real grind of the sessio,
begins, is in better position mer-
tally and physically to intelligently
consider the problems with which
they are confronted. The Salem
senator also considers that If the
members familiarize themselves with
the various institutional problems
early in the session, they will be bet
ter equipped to deal with the usua,
flock of bills requesting state money
in the carrying on of institutional
projects.
While no statement has been
given out thus far. 1t is said by those
on the inside that economy in the
st,ictest sense would be observed.
As it has been put here by one OF
the close observers. Senator Allen
is not going to throw away many
dollars"

Mr.. Lloyd George said he was LOOK

store peace in the east.
IF permanent peace is established
there must be great reduction in the
cost of armament" he added. "Nhe
British army is being reduced "
below the pre-war standard and the

reduced also. The nations must be

A movement is about to De

Gitorium last night the expounding
Of tentative plan by which the
Young boys here will benefit, was
unanimous in it's decision to do all
possible to further the activity which
without doubt will embrace the
youth in every part of the city.

Mr.. Letter, feeling that the Amer

last night that the chief of police
thinks highly of the plan which
would be to get some one here with
understanding who could win the
confidence of the boys who need
help.
The American Legion was enthu-
siastic and felt that many other fra
ternal, philanthropic, social and edu
cational groups would be willing to
sid. A committee composed of Rus
sell Larcombe, Fred BRIGGS and Fred
Menaker was appointed to, act FOR
the Legion in conjunction with the
activities that will be furthered along
this line.
Strong sentiment was expressed
last night on the subject of new
quarters for the post. 1t was set
forth again that every community
in the vicinity has secured a home
OF some kind whereas Perth Amboy
has depended upon the generosity of
the Y. M. G. A. for a meeting place.
The outcome of a considerable dis
cussion was the appointment of n
4 new committee, which is to bring
to the post at the next meeting de-
finite plan to get quarters before the
present officers go out on March i.
Whether the committee will plan a
campaign for funds for erecting n
hrme, for renting quarters or find
some other means of making the
move is not yet known. But it has
been decided that immediate action
must be taken.
Members of the Middlesex Coun-
ty Bonus committee were present
az the meeting last night and spoke
of the movement which has been
started on the adjusted service nav
known formerly as the soldiers bo
