Gets Sum of $500

w. B. Roberts was over from Spen-
Ger Tuesday and tells US the Nine Mile
Hill road is in most deplorable shape
and has been for some weeks. We
understand, however, that work begins
this week by the county road forces,
who will not only smooth up the road.
but reconstruct nearly three miles Of
it. The delay has been caused to
secure from the State Highway Board

OF the creek bottom and place it on
the sidehill above danger Of floods.

Awarding Contract

CARTERET May 10.-Contrary
to general expectations no action
was taken by the borough council
at its adjourned session last night
on the memorial municipal building

figures Of the lowest bids retained
They decided to have full columns

fireproof construction floors az
against metal lumber.
An amended ordinance was passed
at its first and second readings au-
thorizing the council TO appropriate
$125,0 900 for the building which sum
includes all extras. Councilman
Child questioned the right of the
council to ask the appropriation,
when the people voted only upon
100000. Mayor Thomas ]. Mulvi-
hill in response to the opposition
declared that there was no doubt

ordinance and also believed that.
should there be any objection to this
step. the citizens have a right to op-
pose its passage at the final read
ing. Child passed when the ordi-
nance was voted upon.
Councilman Samuel B. Brown, did
not see any cause for remonstrance
and voted yes with all others.
An ordinance for improving OF
Warren street from Edwin street, to
Steinberg tract was unanimously
passed at its first and second read
ings.
A petition was received from J. R.
O'Connor of st. Joseph's Roman
Catholic church asking for improve
ments on High street between Wash
ington avenue and Carteret. Here
Councilman Child questioned why
the other property owners on that
section have not signed the petition.
Mayor Mulvihill and Attorney
Stremlau informed the councilman
that the Mr.. Canda, principal hold
er of the balance of the property,
verbally agreed to have the improve
ments made.
When the ordinance calling for
curbs, sidewalks and cutters on
High street was introduced, Council
man Child opposed it's passage, on
the grounds that Mr.. Canda's sig
nature was not on the petition for
the improvement.
Here a fifteen minute battle start
ed. Mr.. Child charged that the
mayor represented certain
class. The mayor retorted quickly
that he represents the people and
not a class. Councilman Child did
not mention just what "class" he re-
ferred to. You are trying to jam
me into this Child said. "You are
in jam now" responded the mayor.
AS the argument progressed Mr..
Child's colleague, Councilman Ed
ward Wilgus interrupted and said:
Il am sick of all this talk" "Well,
you will listen. whether you want to
or not" cried Mr.. Child. The argu-
ment was subdued when Mr.. Child
decided to vote yes on the passage
OF the ordinance with the reserva-
ton that when the High street ordi.
nance is passed at its third and finaI
reading. the petition for the improve.
ment should bear Mr.. Canda's sig
nature.

Damon and Pythias, that has come
down as one of the enduring episodes
of history.
A similar situation is to be found
in the story of Singer Jim McKee,"
William S. Hart's latest production
for Paramount. Singer Jim's friend
ship for his partner, Buck Holden,
and Holden's love for Singer, is por-
trayed in an appealing manner. It
was a great friendship, the sort that
could survive moments of anger, and
be the stronger and more tender for
the storm.
1t was the sort OF friendship that
one finds out in the mountains, where
human relations are sincere and last
ing, and bound with the strength of
the mountains themselves.
1t Is an element of appeal that
never fails to grip an audience, and
certainly the theme has never been
portrayed more beautifully in any
photoplay than in "Singer Jim Nc
Kee," coming to the Woodbridge

Prison Not So Bad

TRENTON, May 10:-The world
moves and there are many changes
between the time a man enters the
walls of a penitentiary and is set
free again, as several of the men
liberated from the state prison here
this week experienced. The pardons
court had decided to give liberty to
several men who had served long
years of their sentences for murder
because they came to prison before
the enactment OF the minimum term
law, which would have permitted
their earlier liberation.
One of these men stepped out into
the free air and sunlight on Wednes-
day after serving more than fifteen
years of thirty year term for hon.
icide. His impressions of the way
things had changed since he began
his prison incarceration were inter-
esting as comparisons with the way
people live today as compared with
fifteen years ago.
