FOR WILHELM
Justice Bergen's Ruling is
Against Mrs. Drake in
0verseer'S Contest

CARTERET, Mar. 21:-Word was
received here this morning that Jus
tice James j.. Bergen in the supreme
court at Trenton yesterday ruled
that Emil Wilhelm, overseer of the
poor in this borough, will continue
to serve in that capacity despite eff
forts of Mayor Mulvihill and his
council to GUST him. Mrs. Carrie Z.
Drake, Republican nominee for that
office, contested the right to hold the
post on her belief hat the overseer's
term was for year instead of five.
Mr.. Wilhelm was appointed by
former Mayor Joseph Hermann and
the council to that job January /,
1929. Justice Bergen declared that
in 1911 the legislature by a general
act made the term of office of the
overseer of the poor five years, thus
proving that Wilhelm was appointed
under the law for five years.
The legislature, however, amended
the borough act in 1913, Judge Ber-
gen said, and provided that an over
seer of the poor might be appointed
in boroughs to hold office during the
pleasure of the municipal governing
body, provided that no person should
be removed without a hearing.
Another amendment by the legis-
lature in 1917 again amended the
borough act, providing for a term of
five years, this giving MI. Wilhelm
the right of office until 1927.
Considerable interest. is now cen
tered on the decision which Justice
Bergen expects to give out on the
chief of police tangle. 1t is generally
expected that the result of that bat
tie will be known within. a day or
two.

Boy Scouts Working for the Church

10. Mccullough was pastor of
the Second L. p. Church. OF course
his real name wasn't that. and it
wouldn't be altogether fair TO him to
cite his real name. He vas an &C.

But, there was point in which
the Rev. John fell down, and con-
Germ about this weig' Il heavily up

who came from good Z. p. families
who simply couldn't be shaken out
of the church of their forefathers,
| but the Reverend John had a sturdy
and vigorous sense of extending the

beyond. He was evangelical to the
| core, and believed to the bottom OF
his soul in the urgent necessity Ct

ture.

many times in his pulpit. And once
in the privacy of his study he in

But though he insisted with fine old

Kenneth.

SAiRE AVENUE
PROTEST MADE
Plant Owners and Residents
There Urge Street be Fixed
in Passable Shape

Sayre avenue, the main artery of
communication to the plants of the
Perth Amboy Tile Works, the J.. NJ.
Sorensen Lumber Company, Koyen
building material depot and others,
is in such bad condition that August
Staudt. president of the tile works,
today despaired of trying to have the
street put into shape. The street at
the present time is badly cut up and
is the of more than one auto
mobile or motor truck being stalled.
Mr.. Staudt said that some years
ago al effort had been mad to re-
pair the street, Iy placing upo it
the stone which comprised the waste
at the time New Brunswick avenue
WIS aved, this gave the road q sort
of a foundation and it was in fair
Condition. The work of placing the
stone on the road was done by men
Of Mr.. Staudt's plant, and they also
helped in other ways to make a lit
tie improvement to the street.
The road was in fair condition for
two or three years, then, according
to Mr.. Staudt, the city laid water
pipe along the avenue and the street
again became almost impossible.
Mr.. Staudt held that the city officials
know of the conditions for the gar
bage trucks, operating between the
city and the dump, have become
stalled owing to the condition of the
thoroughfare.
Discouraged by the little interest,
the city is taking in the improvement
to the road, Mr.. Staudt, displayed
several letters from various munich
palities urging new industries to To-
cate there. These communications
contained lucrative offers, Mr.. Staudt
pointed out, which were found to be
authoritive.
M. Staudt also told of the efforts
made to have the American Rail-
way Express Company officials make
delivery of express matter in that
section of the city.
For almost ten years the tile COM
pany and other firms located in that
section of the city have sought in
vain for express delivery service, Mr..
Staudt said. The express officials
cannot see their way clear to l4clude
that section in the city delivery limits
because of certain t~echnicalities. 4
live civic body to take up matters
of this kind, and assist the industrial
plants, Mr.. Staudt, declared was
greatly needed.
