SEWER DELAY
FOR MATAWAN
Contract, However, May be.
Signed at Council Meeting
Next Tuesday Night

MATAWAN, April 1s.--At an ad-
journed meeting of the Borough
Council last night, the matter Of
awarding the contract for the install.
lation of the sewer was taken up.
Mr.. Peoples. the engineer OF the
contractor showed a map upon
which certain changes in the sys-
tenn r to be made. From the in
formation gathered at the session, 1t
Is evident that at a previous meet
ing OF the board, probably a COM
mittee session these changes were
agreed to, but at last nights session
Councilman Stephen G. Thompson
and Councilman George W. Parker
were a little doubtful concerning
them.
These two councilmen. much to
the displeasure of Mayor William H.
Sutphin. demanded that the change
be submitted to Councilman William
C. Clark and Engineer George A.
Johnson for their approval and to
withhold the signing of the contract
until next Tuesday night. Mayor
Sutphin held that such action was
not fair to the contractor as the fig
ures he submitted for the construc~
ton of the sewer could not stand for
an indefinite period in view OF the
rising price in material and labor
market.
Mayor Sutphin declared that the
council had the sewer matter under
consideration for the past seven
years and that If they did not intend
to build the sewer there Is no fur
Their use of sitting night after night
in special meetings and committee
sessions. Mayor Sutphin declared
that at least twenty special meetings
had been held on the matter.
At one point in the meeting Coun-
Gilman Thompson seemed to be
against the installation of the sewer
and declared that he would not stand
for the borough paying 100000 for
the job. The contract price is in the
neighborhood of $4,000. 1t is said.
Upon a motion of Councilman
Fucker. 1t was finally decided to lay
over the signing of the contract un-
til next Tuesday night, at the regu-
lar session of the council, and that
the contract would be drawn up with
the specified changes In construction
upon the approval Of Mr.. johnson.
the engineer. and Councilman Will
liam ". Clark. The resolution was
SO worded by Attorney Lefferts thar
the contractor might go ahead and
order the necessary material.

ment to all the men he can get

Many Auto Collisions.

Due to the heavy pail Of smoke
caused by the burning Of the big
marsh one mile north of Three
Lakes and west of the Northwest
ern railway tracks, several auto
accidents have happened within
the past few evenings. The smoke
of an evening settles down on
highway 80 fronting the marsh
and it is said to be impossible for
drivers to see a dozen feet ahead.
AS it is, no travelling at night over
this section is being done by the
native auto owner. Forest fires
have broken out in many sections
the past week due to the extrem-
ely dry weather. 1t has been sew
eral weeks since rain has fallen
in this section of the lake region
and with the added burden of fall
ling leaves and dead plant growth,
the situation is critical to the per-
son who is of a careless nature in
the woods and drops lighted
match or burning cigarette or CT
gar. Care should be exercised by
everyone until rain comes.

A Good Excuse.

There have been some delight
full days recently, days just cool
enough to make it extremely
pleasant to walk about through
stubble fields, over meadows, and
in the woods. A good many peo-
pie have been doing just that
thing and enjoying it.
They have carried guns with;
them and have called it hunting,
but a good many of them haven't
shot anything and haven't had
much opportunity to shoot any
thing If they had had a little
better luck they might have had
more to talk about when they
came home but it is a question
whether they would have really
enjoyed their outings any better.
Curiously enough, good many
of them,probably most of them,
wouldn't have felt justified in rid
ing out in their automobiles to
wherever they did ride and then
getting out and walking around
wherever they did walk if they
had not had guns with them.
Hunting furnished the man ex-
cuse and it was an excuse valid
not only with their own conscien-
ces, but with their families and
friends and employers and bust
ness associates.
If a man told his wife he was
going to drive out into the coun-
try a ways and walk around bit
she'd probably think he was crazy
and so would his business asso-
ciates. If he tells his employer
that he wants a day off to go
hunting he probably gets it and
even if he doesn't the reason is
recognized as a perfectly natural
and proper one. But if he asked
for a day off to tramp around
through the fields and woods, that
would be another story.
The tramping is unlimited in
extent and of the finest quality and
the greatest utility. The hunting is
decidedly limited and the game OBJ
tanned usually costs a good deal
in equipment and ammunition. 1t
is really the tramping about in
the open air that is pleasurable
The idea of hunting merely fur
nishes sort of sauce of imagin-
atom to give the walking a flip.
Children can get their flip in
looking for colored leaves, the
naturalist in looking for autumn
nal migrants or what not of
that kind, the poet and artists
from the views of earth and sky.
Probably all of us could find suf-
ficient object for such excursions
without bothering about a gun
and ammunition if we tried and if
1T became customary.
And it wouldt be an excellent
thing if it were generally recog-
nized that an autumnal tramp in
the country without a gun is just
as legitimate and reasonable and
proper as going hunting Super
