which is lodged in the body just be-
low the right shoulder blade and

OPPOSE SECOND
|. CLASS INCREASE
American Newspaper Pub
fishers Assn. Objects to
New Postal Rate Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Pro-
tests against increases in second
class mail rates proposed in the ad-
ministration measure to raise rev.
enue for postal salary increases,
were presented today TO the joint
congressional postoffice committee
by spokesmen for the American
Newspaper publishers Association.
Renewing their complaint against
hasty consideration by congress of
the post office departments cost as
certainment report on which the
rate raises are predicated, the pub
fishers contended that the records of
the department show the inadvis-
ability of raising rates on second
class mail matter at this time on
the theory that such an advance
would produce an increase in rev.
.enue.
Pointing out that since 1912 sec
end class mail has been the only
class on which congress has increas-
ed rates. they contended that these
advances increased the revenues OF
the department more than 1875 per
cent, but at the same time resulted
in a large decrease in the volume
of mails.
Publishers of trade papers joined
spokesmen of other publishing in
terests in opposing the proposed in
crease in second class mail rates at
the hearings yesterday, eontending
that in view of their increase as a
war measure in 1918, there now
should be an adjustment downward
instead of upward. They also pro-
tested against what they regarded
as too speedy consideration of the
rate bill, arguing that it would re-
suit in unfair adjustments and dis
arrangement OF the postal service.

IMPROVEMENT
ASSN. PROTEST.
Madison township Body Asks
to Be Heard on Route
to the Shore
NEW PLAN DISCUSSED
Now Reply, but Date for Hear
ing Before Highway Board
Is Expected Soon

The Madison Township Improve
ment Association in communities
ton to the State Highway Commits
sion has demanded a hearing be-
fore the commission before the
plans to widen the road. known as
Route No. between South Anhoy
and Keyport is begun and further
declare that the commission must
call a hearing on a matter OF this
kind before any work can be done.
As yet the association has received
no reply from the commission. but
It is expected that a date for hear
ing as requested by the association
will be set by the commission
shortly.
1t is said to be the general belief
of the association and others who
have been advocating the route
from South Amboy, through Madi-
son township to Matawan. Hoirndel.
Eatontown and thus to the shore re-
sorts, that the action of the commits
sion in abandoning the bridge and
NIL over the meadows and Morgan.
and deciding on the widening Of the
present highway instead Of the .5ss7ts-
I Ing the the so-called back road
route is being done in an effort to
spite these people.
The association further claims It
was learned today, that the widening
of the present route as proposed by
/ the commission does not solve the
congestion on this route at All. hut
means teh expenditure of q huge
sum OF money in constructing a draw
bridge over the Matawan creek and.
large fill across The meadow al
that place.
1t Is the contention of the associa-
ton that the traffic congestion really
takes place in South Amboy and
point to the fact that at the several
hearings already held this has been
proven. Therefore, they fail TO un-
derstand how the widening OF the
present route is going to change
conditions at that point.
More than fifty members OF the
association are planning to atteno
the meeting called by the Middlesex
County Board OF Freeholders in New
Brunswick on Monday and It Is also
expected a delegation will be pres
eht from Matawan and other points
on the back road route as well az
! representatives from the Monmouth

OF the shore resort towns have re-

provement that has been proposed.

IN discussing the matter today de-
! ciared he does not feel the conrnis-
sion has made a real study Of the
/ conditions as the widening OF the
present route is not the real solution
ot the present congestion. If the
| commission had given il the nrons :

would have solved the condition b.
this time and the people would have
received more encouragement ana
