Stewart waited for Madeline under

When the regular meeting OF City
Council takes place this Wednesday
evening in the Council Chamber, it is
/ expected that the sign question will
come up for discussion. The commit

to be continued at the last meeting of
Council.
1t is reported on good authority that
a meeting of this committee, together
with the committees from the Civic
Club and the Chamber of Commerce,
will be held in the near future. II has
developed that opposition to the plan
of the sign companies, whereby the
mercantile tax would be reduced from

Troopers Patrol Roads.
Additional State Troopers arrived
in Absecon the latter part of last
week. On Friday night last, the dri-
vers of all machines with only one
head light and no rear light were
stopped and warned that this must
not happen again, or they would be
dealt with according to law.
As this city is the intersection of
two of the most traversed roads of
the state, City Council thought best
that something should be done for
better protection. A communication
was sent to the police head at Ham
monitor, and later to Trenton, but no
reply has been received to the request
that troopers be Sent here. Whether
the assignment of members of the
! State c~onstabulary was a result of
the city's request or was the plans at
Trenton to station a number of troop
ers at Absecon is not known.
