viewed and it was found to have
progressed to the point where the
necessary twenty fire alarm boxes
the four annunciators for the en-
CINE houses and the alarm whistle
had been secured at cost ex-
ceeding two thousand dollars which
has practically depleted the treasur'
err of all the available funds realiz,
ed at the carnival last fall.
The question of raising the bal.
ance of the money was thoroughly
discussed and it was thought the
public was vitality interested in the
further development of our efficient
Department to the extent of con
tributing to the cause through The
medium of house to house cam

canvass would be made on the

earnestly hoped that by the full
cooperation of all that such az
amount would be raised that woulC

The Firemen have worked untire
ingly to secure the very best ap.

County Takes Over
Stockton Road

The taking over by the Hunter
don County Board of Freeholders
of the road from Lambertville to
Stockton, the first highway to be
acquired by the county in some ten
years or more, marks an epoch in
Delaware Valley history.
improvements will be made by
the county at an early date, the
road having already been graded to
standard width and stoned, but
never surfaced properly. Delaware
township will contribute $500 to-
ward the work this year, after
which the county will provide en-
tire maintenance. The township
roads from Stockton to Sergeants-
vile and Stockton to Rosemont will
be repaired by the municipality, and
the building of the Rosemont- King
wood road, now under way, will
greatly increase the traffic through
this section.
The freeholders will also pave with
Kentucky rock asphalt the highway
from the lower Lambertville city
limits to the Mercer county line, a
macadam road that has been in
rough condition for some years.
This will cost upwards of S25, 600,
and will be done soon. The state
has agreed to contribute to this
work.

PROSPECTS OF
new THEATRE
Union House Sold To New
York Man

This city will probably have q
new moving picture theatre, through
the sale of the Union House proper.
ty, on Bridge street, by its owner
George Banchotf, to Abraham Rosan
of Tarrytown, N. Y, according to
present indications.
The property has frontage of
45 feet on Bridge street, and a
depth of 100 feet, sufficient area
for theatre building capable of
seating upwards of 1000 persons on
the main floor.
No announcement of plans has
been made, but Mr.. Rosan had
had representatives in this city for
some time past looking into the
matter, and the sale was consuma-
ted this week. No figures have been
given, but a good many thousands
of dollars are involved in the
transaction.
The Union House has been in
existence many years, but of late
years has been run largely as a
boarding house, the former barroom
being in separate hands Mr.. Ban
chof acquired the property several
years ago, from the Peoples Brew
ing Company, who leased it to ten
ants.
George B. TenEyck, of Trenton,
had theatre project on foot here
couple of years ago, purchasing
the Stryker property at Bridge and
Commerce streets, from Charles d.
McCracken. The project finally fell
through and the Amwell Bank pur-
chased it for a bank site. The
Strand Theatre, the only show house
here at the present is considered one
of the best suburban theatres in
New Jersey. Thru the Hildinger En-
terprise Co., of Trenton, it has daily
changes of programs at moderate
prices.

LAMBERTVILLE COMMISSIONERS
WILL PERMIT TWO CARNIVALS

Lambertville-The Board of Com
mssioners at the weekly meeting
last Monday evening finally granted
permission to the Union and Hiber-
mia fire companies to hold carni-
walls sometime in the future. The
date have not yet been set.
One of the objects of the car
nivals is to raise funds to complete
the installation of an electric fire
alarm system. Most of the equip
ment has already been secured and
paid for by the fire companies. But
funds for the wires and labor to
erect them are still needed. The
installation of this system will supply
long-felt need. The uncertainty
attending alarms at present results
in a lot of confusion, and in case
of bad fire might result in proper
ty loss that would be prevented by
systematic alarm.
Formal applications by both the
Union and Hibernia companies were
made some time ago for permits
sion to hold earnivals, but there has
been a lot of wrangling before the
matter was finally settled
OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED
Permission was given the Water
Company to open the paving on
South Main street for installing
water lines.
The Treasurer was authorized to
borrow $5,390.S7 on demand note
to apply against School Appropria-
ton of $185,000.
A resolution was passed author
izing the prosecution of all persons
throwing sweepings and rubbish into
the streets. This forbids the plac-
ing of any material in the streets
except by permission.

Local Bower Proves
His GameneSS

Lambertville - Young Anthony
Mario, of 5 Coryell street, whose
ring title is Johnny DeMarco, met
his first defeat at the Trenton
Arena last Monday evening. But il
should not reflect on his fighting
ability, and certainly shouldn't slow
him up in his efforts to gain hon.
ors in that profession.
Mario met Sammy MufFo, OF
Bristol, in last Mondays schedule
at the Arena. The bout didn't &c
one round, as NufFo got in a lucky
blow with his left Immediately after
the opening, He caught Marie
under the chin and foored him. II
wasn't a complete knockout, how.
ever, but the referee gave Muffc
the decision because it was evident
that Mario wasn't in shape to con
tinue the scrap.
Luciano Mario, Tony's father, re
ported that the youngster had beer
having stomach trouble for severa
days before the bout, and wanted
to call it off But Tony proved hii
gameness by going thru with it. Blu
he wasn't in physical shape to Civ,
the proper account of himself, ant
his defeat is no indication that h,
can't lick Muffo at some future
time.
