BOROUGH HALE
FOR METUCHEN
That Would Provide Suitable
Lookup, is Urged at Meet
ing of Council

METUCHEN, Aug. 21:-As a re-
suit of a recent communication from
the State Agencies and Institutions
condemning the present borough
lookup as insanitary and dangerous
to health of alleged law violatorS
the borough council at their meeting
last night favorably commented on
the suggestion of Councilman Luther
G. Riddle to erect a borough hall
that would house the lookup as well.
at a cost said to be about $1,000.
Mr.. Riddle in arguing for the bor-
ough structure believed that the bor-
ough needs adequate space for their
administrative purposes and the
erection of a building that would
serve all these purposes should be
favored. Borough Engineer Otto
Volker was given the plan outlined
by MI. Riddle and asked to prepare
a set Of specifications for the next
meeting on which occasion some
definite action on the borough hall
may be taken.
The council greeted temporary
permits to Axel Ftlkenstrom and
Steve Berenski to ruin additional
buses from Metuchen to the Raritan
Arsenal following an understanding
that the other bus lines would not
suffer any loss of passenger traffic.
The street committee of the coun-
Gil was empowered to act on the inn
proyement of High, Newman and
Rose Streets. I. Rolfe a resident in
that vicinity, speaking before the
council deplored the condition of
streets, which have been extensively
used by contractors engaged in State
Highway construction work. The
State Highway Commission will be
asked to aid financially in the repair
of these streets.
Gregory Costa was granted per-
mission to build a cesspool under
the sidewalk adjoining his property
at 418 Main street.
The council accepted the resigna-
ton of c.. A. Hokenson, nQn-patrol-
ling marshall.
John Breen, borough assessor, told
the members of the council that he
was unable to produce the figures
showing the taxable valuation of
property of the borough in connec-
ton with the recent remonstrance
against the sewer system. He said
that legal points require his COM
munication with the borough attor-
ney and assured that he will have
the necessary data at the next reg
u;ar session.

HIGH HCOURT TOHEAR
APPEAL OF INDIANS
Suit to Keep Lands From Be-
ing Sold Goes to Supreme
Court.

John G. Morrison, jr., on behalf of
the Chippewa Indians of the Red Lake
district of Minnesota. will take to
the United States Supreme Court his
suit for an injunction to prevent the
Secretary of the Interior and the
commissioner of Indian affairs from
selling lands Of the Indians to the
state of Minnesota. THE District
Court of Appeals, which recently de-
cided against Morrisons contention,
today granted his request for an ap-
peal to the highest court in the land.
Morrison claimed that 100000 acres
already had been conveyed to Mime
sofa without consideration to the In
dians and that unless the court in
terfered another 100000 acres would
be similarly disposed of to the in
jury of the wards of the nation.
Justice Hoehling of the District Su-
preme Court sustained a motion to
dismiss filed by the government Of
ficials on the ground that Morrison
had not sufficient interest in the
subject matter to entitle him to
prosecute the suit. that the state Of
Minnesota had not been made d
rarty to the bill. which raised divers
political questions which could only
be remedied by Congress
