Henry Clews & Co., New York
Bankers, Say Autumn Trade
Viii Be Good

NEW YORK, June 15.-Henrv
Clews q Co., bankers, in their
periodical business review, issued
Thursday, say that favorable agri-
cultural prospects, continued good
orders for autumn trade placed
well ahead of time, and maintain
ed prices for most staple commod-
tiles are leading factors in the
business situation, which have
tended to encourage the view tnat
the outlook for this season is like
ly to continue satisfactory. The
stock market has felt the reflex
effect of the strong industrial
situation and has shown an in
creasing disposition to stability
and regularity in quotations. New
proposals for a European adjust
ment have tended to strengthen
favorable factors of a domestic
sort which have already been in
evidence.
The reports of the various Fed
eral Reserve banks and of the
Federal Reserve Board are now
practically all issued for the month
of June and afford general coun.
trywide survey of business and
finance. They show that banking
conditions are unusually sound
and strong, and that the various
members although carrying large
lines of loans, are well able to
handle them, and that there are
no indications of resort in the i'm
mediate future to Federal Reserve
banks. AS for the volume of bust
ness it is reported we'll toward
maximum in most lines, although
recent recessions have tended to
cut back sundry tendencies to
overactivity that have shown
themselves here and there, and is
to that extent wholesome. Several
of the banks report their view that
the business situation is healthier
as a result of the business limita
ton that has taken place, and that
there is nothing to warrant any
opinion TO the effect that such re-
striction as has occurred has
caused real damage.

Few young men have lived in
this community who were more be-
loved than John Allen, who vas
known for his sterling integrity
and devotion to his aged parents.
The Great war is still taking its
toll and will for many years to
come, and we will too soon forget
the sacrifices these noble sons
have made. All the people of the
community join with the bereaved
family in this dark hour of their
sorrow.

JOHN ALLEN DAVIS

Perhaps no death in recent years
more deeply saddened the Thomp-
son neighborhood than the death
OF John Allen Davis, who died at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Warren w. Davis on May 2.
Mr.. Davis, born July l, 1889, was
member of the famous 18th Di-
vision doing service N the World
War. The division landed in France
on May 1, 1918, and for ses4enteen
months the young man saw zeal
war, being gassed in the Argone
and became very feeble several
months ago and gradually grew
worse until the day of his death,

EFFECTIVE JUNE II

We announce a 1919 reduction in tires and
tubes effective June 18th. The lowered cost of
crude rubber and the special Firestone manu-
featuring and distribution advantages make
this possible.
Firestone factories are organized on a basis
of large volume and effective production. Costs
are down but quality is at its peak. Stock
holder workmen are daily building many thou
sands Of Gum-Dipped Cords-the best tire Fire
stone ever produced and, we believe. the leader
on the market today.
Firestone Cords took the first four places and
eight Of the ten money positions in the Indian
apolis Sweepstakes, May 30th, without single
tire failure.

BRIDGE PLANS
ARE DISCUSSED
South Shore Association
Committee Meets Last
Night at Prince Bay

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. ga
meeting of the bridge committee of
the South Shore Protective Asso-
citation was held last night at the
home of the chairman, owen O'Kel-
~, in Prince Bay for the purpose of
discussing the can of the pro-
posed bridge between Tottenville
and Perth Amboy.
This meeting was called to talk
over the matter of the bridge and
to discuss the possibility of a delay
in the preliminary proceedings fol-
lowing the announcement of the
secretary of the New York State
Bridge Commission, that the failure
of the state of New Jersey to make
the necessary $4,000 available was
provided by the last legislature to
defray the expenses of conducting
the investigation and survey may
the delay the whole project for m
year.
An invitation had been extended
to Senator Morgan +. Larsen, As
semblyman Thomas l.. Hanson and
Mayor William C. Wilson, of Perth
Amboy. to attend, but neither of the
New Jersey officials were in attend
dance. Assemblyman Hanson tele-
phoned that he would be unable to
be present, but he made known that
he will see Governor George s.. Sill
ger, who he believed would find a
way of providing the $1,000 to de-
fray the expense for making the i'll
vestigation and survey on the New
Jersey side.

side was at the meeting adm spoke
in regard to the bridge project
which he said would be again taken
up by him should he be again re-
turned to the assembly this fall.
There was a good representation of
the committee at the meeting to-
gether with others interested to see
a bridge over the sound to connect
Staten Island with New Jersey at
Tottenville.
A years delay may change the
entire proceedings of the bridge
legislation in New York and for this
reason the committee with Senator
Mark Allen, representing Richmond
and Assemblyman Vaughan, o
representing this end of the island,
are eXerting every effort to clear
the way for further action at the
coming session at Albany, so as to
make the Interstate bridge an as
sured fact before the term of the
present governor and other state
officials expire.
The meeting adjourned without
taking any action and will meet
again at the call of the chair. Those

DOCK
BEING URGED
Councilman ChiIds, Minority
Leader, Says He viii Not
Oppose Project

CARTERET, Oct. 23.-Although
the plan for the acquisition of a dock
site and erection of a borough hall
as proposed by the Republican adj
ministration has been denounced at
various recent meetings by local
Democratic candidates and political
leaders, Councilman Joseph G. Child,
leader of the minority Democratic
council and one of the important
factors in that party declares that
he and apparently others in his
party are not opposed to u dock site
and borough.
IF the people want a dock site
and municipak building by voting for
it November 6, L will myself strong
ly support the projects" MI. Child
said, but | feel that this is not the
logical time to proceed with these
plans. Furthermore. the Republican
council in bringing the issue to the
fore, does not specify how much
money will be spent on a site,
whether it Is to be one acre for $780,
900 or whether 1t would require w.
eral acres. They have not given the
people the real information the peo-
pie want. The questions put to the
voters in connection with these i'm
provements are rather indefinite"
Mr.. Child pointed out to the fact
that there would have not been any
opposition, had the mayor and the
Republican council gone about the
plans in a systematic and business
like way. He said, that at first a
tentative data should have been COM
piled, namely, the cost of a site in
full, the cost of a borough hall site,
