MATAWAN LAKE
WORK PUSHED
Little Street Bridge Being Re-
paired-Much More Work
to be Done

MATAWAN, July 10.-Yesterday
the flood gate on the new dam for
the lake on the EAST side of the bor-
ough was closed and the water once
again began to bacq up. According
to Charles E. Close, who has the con-
tract for the repairing of the Little
street or iron bridge, it is believed at
this time that the flood gate will
not again nave to be opened or the
water lowered. The building of
the lake has about been completed
and the water will therefore in no
way interfere with this work, it is
said.
Mr.. Close said he expects to have
all the work done on the Little street
bridge foundation within two weeks
time and that he does not expect the
water, as it raises in the lake. to in
terrier with his work to any great
extent. Bids for the driving of sheet
piling along the lake where 1t uses
Main street as a part of the dam
have been advertised for and will be
opened on July 10. These piling may
be driven at any time and will form
an added protection to the road
way.
The Thompson Construction Com
pany of Red Bank is rushing the
work on the new bridge across the
lake at Church street and indica-
tions are that by the time the water
has risen to that section the bridge
will have been completed and open
ed to traffic. This bridge will be a
concrete affair considerably higher
than the former old iron and wood
en- bridge.

ELIMINATION
PROCESS PLAN
of Governor to Select State
Labor Commissioner to
Succeed Gen. Bryant

TRENTON, July 10.-Governor
Silzer is reported now to be going
through an elimination process with
the approximately half a hundred
names before him as available for
the post of state commissioner of
labor at $4,000 a year with side
duties and responsibilities which
would bring the salary up to $780,
600, if the encumbent cares to work
that hard. The governor is report
ed to know just what kind of a man
ought to be selected for this import
ant state Office but the difficulty is
getting him.
The administration feels that there
are any number of, Jerseymen in
private business activities, such as
lawyers. manufacturers and men
engaged in big enterprises of varied
nature who could render high class
service to their state in this post
but they are more engrossed in
their present lines of endeavor and
are making more money than the
post of labor commissioner offers.
For this reason, it is said, Mr..
Silzer. although he has them in his
minds eye, feels they ought not to
be asked to submit to the draft
process at a personal sacrifice.
There are some of this class avail
able but they could give but one or
two days a week to the duties and
the feeling is that the man selected
ought to devote most, if not all, his
time to the work.
Democrats who feel that the office
should go to one of their own party
are hoping that the executive will go
through the ranks and make a
selection which will have strong re-
concentrations on political as well
as other grounds. This group of
observers of state government take
the view that because a man is a
strong party adherent should not
initiate against his selection, and
they declare that many of the ablest
men in the service of the state to-
day are there because they were
named originally out of political
considerations and that their
political activity been used as an
argument against them much ability
and talent would have been remain
ed undeveloped and lost to the SER
vice of the state.
There is the thought too that Mr..
Silzer may make a promotion in the
present force of government execu-
tives by selecting some man now
holding a position of responsibility,
in which he has proven his cap
ability, and elevate him to this high
post of labor department head. on
the sheer strength of meritous SER
vice already rendered. This has

SOUTH AMBOY
WATER ACTION
Braney Appointment 0rdi-
nance Before Council
What Will Mayor Do?

SOUTH AMBOY, July 10 To-
night, at the regular meeting of the
common council./ the ordinance APP
pointing John J. Braney water COM
missioner. fixing his term of office
and describing his duties will come
up for its second and final reading.
This particular ordinance coming
at this time has created no little
amount of interest. 1t will be re-
membered by those who have follow
ed the proceedings of Mayor Chase
and the council, that Mr.. Braney was
one of the Office seekers whose pre-
vious ordinance was vetoed by
Mayor Chase. AT that time Mr.,
Chase gave as his reason for his
course that the various ordinances
presented to him, did not contain
the duties as prescribed by law. AT
a later date, an ordinance was in
troduced to the council, appointing
John j. Connors, street commission
er, fixing his term of office and de-
ining his duties. Mayor Chase
upon its passage by the council i'm
mediately signed the ordinance.
But. the case of Mr.. Braney is
slightly different from hat of the
street commissioner. The latter had
a unanimous vote from the coun-
Gil. while Mr.. Braney, for some
reasons has only the Democratic
majority, not sufficient to pass over
the veto of the mayor If he chooses
to act thusly. At the last meeting
of the council the ordinance was
read and upon motion of Council
man Delaney was laid over under
~ MI g.. sLf.
course found Councilman Disbrow
and Councilman Tice voting in the
negative.
There seems to be a varied diff
ference in opinions both in the
Democratic as well as in the Re-
publican ranks, as to just what May
or Chase will deem right to do
While a great number are of the
opinion Mr.. Chase will use his veto
power, there are some of the may
or's staunch supporters who fee.
there is no doubt about him sign
ing the bill since it complies with
the requirements of the law.
If the ordinance does pass and is
in due course signed by Mayor
Chase. it will give to the water
commissioner much more power
than he has ever enjoyed and tc
the minds of many it is considered
a good thing. These people fee.
that with the water department in
the hands of one man a more COM
~prehensive report of the condition
of this department will be forth
coming. This department, few will.
deny, needs a one man supervision
with a competent clerk to look af-
ter daily reportS.
Then too, the matter of the South
Amboy Terra Gotta Company's
suit for damages to their plant oc-
casioned by the storm of the past
week, is worrying some of the tax
payers.

Many parents are directly respon-

ness and a laxity in mental health.
Keeping a child behind bars, as it
were. will make them shy, retard
childhood and manhood. Children are
often kept behind such bars as: mo,
mol" Don't touch!" Keep still"

effect of those bars usually sticks to
them. Wise parents know that the
child's asking questions. investiga-
tions, curiosity and purposeful &C

health and development.
Intelligent parents will note such
danger signals as twitching and fid-

A TwO-fOOted Sheen.

Basking on the lawn of the
front yard of Geo. JEWELS splen-
did farm southeast of town, one
day last week we encountered a
curious little animal that proved
quite interesting.
Among Mr.. JEWELS flock of
seventy sheep about four months
ago was born a ram without hind
feet, the two legs terminating at
the middle joint without any sem
blance to hoofs. The little fellow
has become quite pet and seems
to- get along very we'll despite his
handicap. He is fully developed
for an animal of that age, and
normal otherwise, except that he
is quite fat.
He is learning to balance so that
he can walk on his front feet with
body poised in the air. This aero
baltic feat is undertaken in an UNI
concerned manner when the mood
strikes him. He has been timed
by Mr.. JEWELS son, Floyd, and for
twenty minutes he has acted as a
biped pedestrian much to the
amusement of onlookers.
The curiosity has as a pal, an
other oddity of the same age-a
black sheep marked with white on
the lower hind legs, tail and fore
head. The latter seems to take an
unusual interest in the defective
and seldom strays from it's side
