CARTERET MAYOR ANSWERS
ATTACK OF DEMOCRATS

CARTERET, Oct. 23.-Denounc-
ing the Democratic party for their
false charges of extravaganza made
against the Republican administra-
ton, Mayor Thomas J.. Mulvihill
made public this morning figures
to show that his party had saved this
year S27, 066.39 for the taxpayers.
The mayors statement declares that
Mayor Hermann's aides spent in
1922 the sum of S169,380.S2 as
against $142,314.43 apportioned for
expenditures this year. For paving.
the borough will spend in all this
year $4,000 the statement reads.
for paving four streets, while he
Democrats have spent last year
$52,500 for improving of only four
roads. This saving, the mayor says
is due to the open competitive
bidding inaugurated by the Repub-
lican administration, it is alleged.
For the first time in the history
of the borough, the council Is pub
fishing it's expenses, the mayor says,
and savings have been made in every
direction. On streets and sewers
much money is being saved daily
with the purchase of a tractor. In
1922 the police appropriation was
$4,000 while in 1928 four new po-
lice were added to the force at a to-
tai appropriation of SO 900, thus
saving $4,000 in this department.
In his statement, the mayor
charges that the Democratic asses-
sor has lowered the valuation of the
borough this year about $3.50, 000
while in reality he says it should
have been 100000 higher thus in
c~reasing the tax rate.
The Republican party, the mayor
says is not opposed to schools, but in
his belief there are sufficient schools
now to take care of all the pupils in
the borough. Here the mayor points
out that it would be interesting to
know how the school money is be-
ing handled. The Republican party
favors the publication of school
money to the same extent that the
council is now publishing, adding
that there has been considerable
criticism over handling the education
funds.
Mayor Mulvihill brings up again
the question of a dock site and bor-
ough hall. The Democrats, he says
have strongly advocated these inn
provements and now are against
them.
The mayor also points to the many
other moves made by his party, such
as better lights, fast line trolley stop,
Mexican Petroleum adjustment,
water, numerous sidewalk improve
ments library and better fire protec-
ton.

$4,000 BLAZE
At MATAWAN
Flames Destroy Barn and
Sheds of Frederick HeuSer
in Ravine Drive

MATAWAN. oct. 23:-Fire that
| broke out in a barn on the Frederick
! Heuser property in Ravine Drive
shortly before IL o'clock last night
burned the barn to the ground. also
several sheds and out buildings and
caused considerable damage to the
two story residence. The damage
was estimated at more than $4,000
which is covered by insurance. This
is the second building on the Heuser
farm to burn within the past three
months. the first being a small yellow
one story and a half house used by
farm laborers. This building was
also covered by insurance.
The blaze last night started in the
barn and this huge frame building
was 500 a mass of roaring flames.
The wind blew the sparks towards
the house and by the time the fire.
men arrived the hause had also TAX
en- fire. Some of the firemen by dig
ging around in the back yard dis
covered an old cistern containing
about eight feet of water and this
was pumped on to the house.
Little attention was paid to the
burning barn or out buildings, the
efforts of the flremen being directed
towards saving the house. Fire COM
panies from Matawan Township,
Freneau. Keyport, Morganville and
Matawan Borough were attracted to
the scene by the blaze which could
be seen for miles. The Matawan
borough alarm was sounded with the
result that two of Matawan's COM
panies responded. The real work
of fighting the blaze. however, cen
tered with the Matawan Township
Company and the Freneau company.
1t was the Freneau men who discov-
cred the cistern and taking possess
sion o fthis saved the residence.
Mrs. Heuser. and her daughter,
Miss Minnie Heuser, were in bed
when the fire broke out and escaped
o the roadway in front of their prop
erty in their night clothing. They
sought refuge in an automobile until
it was safe for them to return to
their home. Firemen carried much
of the furniture from the house
when 1t was thought the place would
burn. Mrs. Heuser said she had no
idea how the fire started as there
was nothing in the barn that might
have caused it. 1t is believed that
a horse was burned up.

UN|MPROVED

Although this city through the
efforts of the Industrial Association
and various civic bodies has tried
for some time to obtain faster and
more train service to and from New
York city. no results have been OBJ
tanned as yet. However, South Am

the Pennsylvania railroad last
week, and now that city has two fast
afternoon trains over the Pennsyl-
vania which runs through this city
at rapid speed.
The new train is number 1913 and
leaves New York at 1880. 1t rush
es through here at 1922 and stops
at South Amboy at 1925. The next
stop is Matawan at 1888. This train
gives South Amboy almost ideal
train service to the municipalities in
South Jersey, while this city has no
direct train service between 1:41
o'clock and 4:49 o'clock, the latter
being a local and making all stops.
The new stop of the train is not
shown on the time table as yet.

TUNNEL DATA
FORTHCOMING
Status of Work and Finan-
ceS Will be Cleared Up Fol-
lowing Conference

TRENTON, Oct. 23.-Dehnite in
formation for the people of the state
as to the xac status of the work
and finances connected with the con-
struction of the vehicular tunnel un-
der the Hudson river from Jersey
City to New York scented to be
forthcoming today as the result of
yesterdays conference here between
members of the Bridge and Tunnel
Commission with the State Budget
Commission and also as q result of
an informal talk which Tunnel Com
missioners Boettger and Sinclair had
with Governor Silzer following the
budget meeting.
Three things came out of the dis
cussions here. First, the tunnel
builders have nothing to hide as to
their administration. Secondly, they
have no intention of letting New
York go free of meeting all her
share of the financial burden Incl
dent to the tunnels construction.
Third, more money-considerably
more-than the estimated S14,0 OO,-
600 will be needed to meet New Jer-
sey's share OF the cost of completing
the project.
Governor Silzer, who was instru-
mental in having Budget Commits
sioners Keddan and Fernald request
the tunnel commission to make a
report of the l~atter's expenditures to
date in view of the frequent talk
about the need of additional funds
to complete the tunnel, the estimat-
ed additional outlay having been put
at $4,000 600 in some quarters, met
Commissioners Boettger and Sim
clair for the first time only yester-
day.
All we want to do is to clear the
atmosphere of all doubts and to keep
public confidence in a big undertake
ing of this kind" explained Mr.. Sill
ger.
eve have been busy building the
tunnel and have not paid much at
tention to newspapers" replied Mr..
Boettger, referring to the talk of
needed funds.
Edward Y. Katzenbach of this city
whom Governor Silzer requested. to
go into the tunnel situation received
the assurance of the two commits
sioners that he and the budget off,
GERS would have all the help they
needed and all the records of the
commission in their work for the
governor.

GARAGE FIRE
At 60. ANBOY
Building Owned by Patrick
Quinlan Razed- Auto Truck
Also Destroyed

SOUTH AMBoY, Oct. 23:-A fire
of unknown origin broke out in the
two-story frame garage of Patrick
Quinlan, of 357 Raritan street early
yesterday morning, totally destroying
a five ton truck in the garage at the
time. Due to the Improvements at
the Hole in the Wall the alarm box
so in the Mechanicsville section has
been out of working order. 1t was
necessary to send in the alarm from
box 81 at the corner of Fourth and
Potter streets. The uncertain alarm
delayed the fremen only several
minutes.
The members of the Mechanicsville
section were quickly on the scene,
but too late to save the building. A
locomotive engineer on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad within a short dis
lance of the scene of the fire gave
warning from his engine of the fire.
The damage is estimated at about
$1,000.

Goose Creek Basin, Oakley, Among
Sections OF This Great State
Favored BY Nature
Continued from page one)

river basin in Owyhee county, wer'
completely discussed.
1.-The underground waters of thu
state OF Idaho, whether artesian OF
not, constitute natural resource
that should be developed and con
served for the benefit of the greatest
possible proportion of the public
This resource should be controlled
by the state and, like the surface
waters, be so administered as to
protect the rights of proper devel-
opment against waste and override
velopment of the supply.
mo well should be drilled with
out permit from some designated au-
thority," is the first principal re-
striction which Mr.. Piper believes
should be enforced by law. He also
advocated "a properly compiled rec
ord of all facts concerning each well
drilled; every drilled well in an ar
tesian basin should be properly cas-
ed; every artesian we'll should be
provided with a suitable cap which
should be kept closed when not in
use; and every abandoned hole in
an artesian basin should be COM
pletely filled with impervious ma
terial.
I'm conclusion the situation may
be summed up as follows: The sur
veys of the Goose creek and Bruneau
river basins, OF the Pahsimeroi
valley, and of the Mud Lake region
have shown that 1t is economically
feasible to develop artesian or other
ground water in these areas for ir-
rigation purposes Also it is be-liev
ed that similar conditions apply to
a very large part of southern Ida
no. In order that the greatest pos
sible benefit may be derived from
this natural resource, two things
are desirable: first, that the artesian
waters of the state be put immedi-
ately under legislative control and
by some proper au-
thority; second, that a thorough and
systematic survey of the ground wa
ter resources of the state be pushed
to completion as soon as may be, 10
show where successful development
IAN probably be made and to pre-
7ent the Inauguration of ill-advised
projects 1t is to be hoped that IA
means to this end can be found in
he nehar future"
