TRENTON, Aug. 29.-The Demo-
cratic State Committee, as a result
of it's meeting held here yesterday.
expects to offer a high class set of
candidates for the Legislature to the
voters this fall and also for all coun-
ty and local offices. Reports were
heard from the various men and
women committeeman who some
time ago were urged to present the
strongest tickets possible to aid the
party in its plan to win at least the
House OF Assembly to the Democrats
so that next winter Governor Silzer
will have one branch of the Legisla-
ture at his back anyhow.
Mrs. Robert F. Norton, vice chair
man of the State Committee, dis
cussed tentatively the plans which
are being made for the convention
of Democratic women of New Jer-
sey to be held as Asbury Park Sep

OF TROLLEY STRIKE Is
SEEN IN RECENT TDEvELOPMENTS S
Calvin a Candidate
For Reelection Here

Alderman at large Richard j.
Calvin will be candidate for re-
election.
For some time past there has
been considerable doubt as to who
would be the candidate for alder
man-at-large on the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Calvin early in the sum-
mer was mentioned as a candidate
for the nomination of sheriff and it
appeared that he would seek that
office. However, in a statement to-
day, Mr.. Calvin points out why he
has decided not to enter the contest
for sheriff but will continue in local
politics.
The statement follows:
II have decided to become a can
didate for the office of alderman-at-
large. Many of my warm friends
during the past several weeks en-
deavored to INDUCE me to run for
the office of sheriff of Middlesex
county. While this Office is consider
ed a greater honor, there are other
considerations which have induced
me to continue in local politics for
at least one more term. In view of
the fact that Alderman Waters and
Alderman Reidy, who have been
connected with municipal affairs in
Perth Amboy for the past number
of years, have declined to become
candidates for reelection, feel that
owe it 10 my party and to the city
of Perth Amboy to continue in Of
fee SO that the experience and in
innate knowledge of local affairs
that I have gained during the past
two years may be available to the

projects that have been initiated
during my term of office. 1t is thers-
fore with sense of obligation to the
city at large that I have consented
10 seek reelection for feel that
my service has a particular value
to the city at this time beL1use CT
the experience gained during my
present term.
81 respectfully solicit the support
and vote of all citizens who are in
terested in the continuance of the
economical government that has
been given the city during the past
two years"
Mr.. Calvin placed his petitions in
circulation today and they are being
readily signed. 1t is likely they will
be filed with City Clerk Philip Cos
tello tomorrow or Friday morning.
Mr.. Calvin is now planning his cam
paign and otherwise preparing for
the political work to be done be-
tween the primary and general cleo
tion.
Perth Amboy will have a Demo-
cratic candidate for the nomination
of freeholder in the coming primary.
Announcement was made today that
John A. Bird an employe of the
General Bakelite Company will seek
t%e nomination for this office. Mr..
Birds petition has already been sign
ed and will probably be filed at
the county clerks office in New
Brunswick today. Mr.. Bird is well
known in the city having been in

NO NEW SHORE
ROAD THIS YEAR
State Highway Commission
. Refuses to Rebuild Bridge
MataWan this Year

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 29:-
The State Highway Commission in
an announcement made public today
has refused the request of the Mid
dlesex County Board of Freeholders,
the Township of Madison and AS
semblyman Fred w. DeVoe to pro-
vide an appropriation for rebuilding
of the Matawan-Old Bridge road at
the present time.
In refusing the request the COM
mission relates that the matter has
been placed on the preferred list for
action when the next years budget
is made up. The road, some four
miles long, would cost over $3.50, 900
to rebuild. 1t is intimated, however,
that a bill will be introduced at the
next legislative session urging the
state to take over the road as link
to the state highway.
The commission made known to-
day that they have allowed the
Township of North Brunswick a sum
of $500 for the rebuilding of the
Mill road leading from Berdine's cor
ner to Livingston avenue. The APP
proximate cost of this work is esti-
mated at $4,000 so that the town
ships share in the improvement will
not exceed $4,000.
The advisory committee of the
State Highway Commission inves-
tigating the shore route is expected
to file within the next two weeks
their report on the traffic condition
along that important highway. The
report, it is expected, will recon-
mend the opening OF a new high
way to the shore or widening the
present route from Woodbridge
through Perth Amboy, South Am
boy and Keyport for a three line
traffic to take care of the constantly
increasing vehicles using this route.
Plans are also being made for
widening of the Albany street bridge
at New Brunswick at least fifteen
feet with draw on the bridge, and
1t is believed the state engineer will
be presented with the set of speci-
fications for his approval.
The State Highway Commission
intends to grade the hill on the
Highland Park side of the Albany
street bridge, widen the road and
lower the sidewalks to the road level.

Couneh of Veterans and not to join
any movement not authorized or

meetings he gave little attention
to the matter, but thai in view of
the threatening situation created by

EAST JERSEY
CLUB WILL LIVE
Members Have Leased Chem
icaI Club House in High
Street as Future Home

When the building in High street
occupied by the East Jersey Club
was sold and the club had to vacate
there was some question as to the
future of the organization. The Of
ficials and many of the members Of
the club felt that the organization
should be continued in view of the
fact that the city needed club of
this kind, and this has resulted in
the club leasing the property in
High street, occupied during the war
by the Chemical Club. Announce
ment has beeh made that beginning
September 1 the East Jersey Club
will be located in its new headquar-
ters.
The club of which Senator Morgan
IF. Larson is president was organiz-
ed about ten years ago by the late
Oliver r. Ramsay and he directed
its destiny for a period of years. The
eouipment of the present High street
building will be moved to the new
location and the same personnel VIII
aleo be retained.
Due to the additional room at the
new home of the club, the member
/ shin can be increased and it will be
possible to furnish rooms for out OF
| town members If the occasion re-
ouired. The dining room is consid-
erably larger than that one at the
| old home. The noon day lunch
cons will continue to be a feature
of the club. 1t is planned to hold a
smoker in the new home in the near
! future.
According to officials of the club

serious operation and illness, was

Mr.. Shull entered the board room
shortly after the session opened and

greetings had Eeen exchanged, Mr..
lShuH remained at the meeting for
possibly a half hour or longer and
then departed for his home.
A communication was received
from Mayor William C. Wilson
pointing out the need of a campaign
against "Jay Walking" and making
many suggestions as to how careless
ness in crossing streets could be
overcome. The letter was the same
as that published in the Evening
News few days ago. Mr.. Shull
stated that he intends 10 call con-
ference of the principals and will
take the matter ur with them and
that teachers in the schools will! be
authorized to point out the results
of Jay Walking" to the students.
A request was received from the
Civic Department of the Woman's
Club asking permission to continue
the nutrition work started last year
lin School No. 8. The necessary per-
mission was granted by the board.
A resolution recently adopted by
the Board of Aldermen calling upon
the school board to install a private
telephone switchboard in the high
school for the use of the schools and
thus relieve the overworked board at
the city hall was favorably received.
A committee will be appointed by
the Board of Education to take the
matter up with the telephone COM
pany.
Two applications we've received
for positions as teachers. They were
referred to the teachers committee.

AVENUE
REPORT IS MADE
City Engineer Booz Says Sur
face will be Laid on Base
Soon

Within the course of the next
three weeks, according to City Engi-
neer Louis P. Booz, Jr., all traffic
to and from the shore resorts and
the cities in the northern section of
the state will be using the repaved
Amboy avenue. As soon as excava-
ton is completed on the west side
of this thoroughfare. the top surface
will be placed on the recently laid
concrete base on the east side of the
street and traffic allowed to operate
over that half of the roadway.
Mr.. Booz explained that the top
surface could have been put on some
days ago, but it was decided that 1t
would be advisable to allow the cars
to continue the use of the detour for
a short time longer, and not to put
on the top surface of the street until
after the work of the steam shovel
in excavating the west side has been
completed as some damage might
be caused to the new surface by this
heavy moving machinery. Mr.. Booz
was of the opinion that the contrac-
tor might begin the placing of the
top surface in about one weeks
time.

BAND CONCERT
NEXT TUESDAY
Date is Changed from Labor
Day-ConCert at BayvieW
Park

1t was announced by Louis Y.
Sosin, president of the park COM
mission, today that next Tuesday has
been set as the date for the third
municipal band concert to be held
at Bay View Park at the foot Of
Market street.
Previous announcement had it
that the entertainment would take
place on Labor Day, but owing to
the fact that the Lincoln Hose Com
pany members begin their carnival
on that evening the concert was
postponed until the next evening.
The entertainment on Tuesday
night was made possible for the
people of this city mainly through
the efforts of William Hilker, county
treasurer and member of the park
commission, and the courtesy of the
County Board Of Freeholders. A ball
ance was left over from the appro-
priation for the concerts after the
last recital, but not enough to pay
for a third, and the individual men,
bers of the Board of Freeholders
consented to contribute and make up
the difference.
The Goodwill Band will furnish
the music on Tuesday night under
the leadership of Nicholas Norris
sey, who at present is arranging a
delightful program. The list will
be ready for publication the latter
part of this week and will consist of
a number of latest song hits.
The committee on arrangements,
Soren P. Stark and Mrs. r. S. Rost-
kowski, is doing it's utmost to make
next weeks affair success.
Benches will be taken from the
various other parks by Superintend
ent Tooker in order that the large
gathering of women and children ex-
pected to attend will be accommo-
dated. Lights will be strung by City
