Lauds Bryan

Ldu0S bryan
DR.. William Lowe Bryan, who has
beer PRESIDENT OF the university for
TWEEN y-two years, was one who re-
ceivsd tribute in the address Of DR..
WOODBURY.. The speaker told Of DR..
Bryan's beginning at the university
as a teacher of mathematics and his
rise at the age of "a to the position
Of associate professor Of philosophy,
and later to the presidency of the
university.
"One of the most important events
in the history of medical education
in Indiana" was DR.. WOODBURY. s
Characterization of the struggle DR..
Bryan made early in his presidency
for a school of medicine here.
THE struggle was successful and
gradually the education of the doc
tors of Indiana was wrested from
the proprietary and unregulated
schools" DR.. WOODBURY. said
The contributions made by Indi-
ana were cited by DR.. Woodburn,
who characterized the presidency Of
David Starr Jordan as "a landmark
in the history of Indiana"
DIR. Jordan found hard and fast
set systems and in their place es-
tablished curriculums that ~devel-
oped the individual to his greatest
powers" DR.. WOODBURY. said. He
tore down old rules that depressed
the student body. When he first
came here he announced that in the
future only two rules would regu-
late the students-first, that they
would not set fire to the college
buildings. and, second, that they
would not shoot any members of the
faculty"
RepIete With "reminiscences
DIR. Woodburn's address was re-
plete with "reminiscences of the de-
velopment of the university during
more than half a century, and of
the growth of facilities for handling
the constantly increasing student
body.
The commencement exercises
brought to a close the week of com
mencement festivities and the re-
unions Of various classes of alumni.

TAX ASSESSMENT SUIT
STARTED AGAINST CITY

A suit for the, refund of tax as
sessments with interest instituted by
James Nash, of Plainfield, against
the city of Perth Amboy and Adolph
M. Metzendorf.. occupied the atten-
ton of the Board of Aldermen last
night. The assessment under which
the action is brought dates back to
1918.
Nash claims that at that time he
had a controversy with the city
whether or not certain tax assess
ments were properly levied on prop
erty in Madison avenue, extending
from the Hotel Madison to Market
street This property is now occu-
pied by the Elks home and stores
owned by Mr.. Metzendorf. Nash
claimed the property has been i'm
properly assessed and that the paw
ing assessments were wrong. He
claims that all these assessments
were paid under protest and because
the then city attorney was unfriendly
to him a proper adjustment could
not be made.
Nash now sues Metzendorf for
81 267.20 for paying The taxes con-
trary to the agreement; sues the city
fer $1,267.20 for improperly accept
Ing the money ard also sues the
city for an additional $413.17 and
interest, seeking Il refund of that
amount upon his claim that the bill
was that much overpa.d Leo Gold

MAYOR URGES
STREET REPAIR
Wants Herbert Street Paved
or Repaired-IS on Main
Shore Route

Mayor Wilson has again written
to the aldermen asking them to
either pave or temporarily repair
Herbert street in order that this
street, one block in length, might be
improved at once. This short stretch
is used by the heavy automobile
traffic passing through this city
from and to the north and as as it
the only poor stretch of road on the
shore route in this city, with the
exception of the abandoned part of
some action. He also sugestgs that
Grace street. which connects Mar
ket street with Smith street be paw
ed or repaired as this street can be
used instead of Herbert street, II
so desired. ..... ,
The mayors letter to the alder
men follows:
July 16, 1924.
Hon. Board of Aldermen,
City Hall.
Dear Sirs:
l wish to call your attention to
the unfavorable advertising that
we are incurring throughout this
state, owing to the almost impass-
able condition on both Grace and
l1eIDeIL SlTeelS, WHICH COnulllOfl
must have been known to you for
the last six months. as your atten-
tion has been called thereto several
times by myself as also by consid-
erable unfavorable newspaper COM
ment.
1t is high time tnat some action
should be taken especially in regard
to Herbert street, which / was given
tc understand would receive a per-
manent paving when the street pro-
gram was made out.
With the aid of machinery now
in the citys possession. and few
truck loads of stone, l feel that Her
bert street, at a slight expense, can
be put and kept in such a condition
that 1t will not continue to cause the
unfayorable comment that l am
continually receiving not only from
our own residents, but from those
passing through our city as we'll.
Respectfully,
w. C. Wilson,
Mayor.
P. S.-The summer is now half over,
and as near as l can learn nothing
has been done toward finishing the
paving of Amboy avenue.

DOGS HAIR IN WOUND AS
REMEDY FOR A DOG Bite

A new remedy for dog bite came
to light this morning when a six
year-old boy bitten by a neighbor's
dog was brought to the Office of DR..
George w. Tyrrell in State street.
The boy, John Matza, of Lee avenue,
was attacked and bitten on the nose
by a dog early this morning, The
dog, which belonged to a neighbor,
was caught after h, had attacked
the lad and several hairs were taken
from the dogs back and placed in
the wound, according to the story
told by the boy and his brother
when they came to the office of the
physician shortly after the occur
renee.
DR.. Tyrrell had considerable
trouble removing the hairs which
had become imbedded into the
wound and which, according to the
physician, would have proved dan
gerous if they had not been removed.
This would probably have been more
so should the dog have shown any
signs of rabies.
