one of the greatest needs at Hains
point was taken yesterday when the
concrete for the foundation of the
new shelter and comfort house was
poured, under the direction of Lieut..
Col. Sheriff., in charge of the public
buildings and grounds.
Because of the nature Of the ground
and the tendency of it to settle, it
was decided to pour the entire base
in one day that it might harden in
one slab. Four concrete mixers and
a large gang of workmen were as
sembled. The base is of reinforced
concrete thirteen inches thick and
containing altogether 13O yards of
concrete. The weight and size Of the
slab guarantee that if there be any
sinking, the entire house will move
without any cracking of walls 1t

OFFER TO LEND SUPPORT
Success of Commission Move

Women as we'll as men are inter-
ested in the commission governments
movement and since the publication
of last nights Evening News, many
have offered their services to Morris
nIlargaretten to aid him in putting
the petitions in circulation. Mr..
Margaretten, who has been engaged
by representative citizens to further
the movement for commission gov
ernment in this city, declared that
the services offered by men and
women of this city convinces him
that the success of the commission
government is assured.
"All of those who have offered
their services" says Mr.. Margaret
ten. sare firm in their belief that the
time has come for the change to
commission government. Many OF
them at the same time express their
dissatisfaction with the present form
of government in the city,.
.sThere is no doubt" Mr.. Marga-
retten said, "that the campaign will
be a success. Everywl ere one goes.
nothing but favorable comment is
heard. 1t is also known fact that
the citizens of Perth Amboy, regard
less of political attachment, are in
back of the movement and are de-
termined to put it across
Not from one section of the city,
but from all sections come reports
today that the commission govern
ment talk is Of more serious ma
ture than ever before. Women IN

q matter of conversation and IN
some instances are proving to be
the strongest supporters of the
movement. 1t is believed the wo-
mems vote will do much in putting
the commission form of government
across
When the previous commission
government elections were held in
this city, the women had not yet
ben given the vote. Today however,
they are well organized, and it is
expected they will do much towards
furthering the movement. The fact
that many women have alraedy
offered their services to Mr.. Mar
garetten, in the circulating of the
petitions proves they are interested.
