Building ACtivifieS
In Nez0 Hope

New Hope-More new buildings
are under way within the borough
limits than at any previous time in
its history. Despite the long con
tinued blocking of the South Main
street bridge because of a contro-
versy between the borough, the
county commissioners and the de
funct trolley company as to who
shall maintain it, there is still a
lot of progress going on in the
borough.
The New Hope Brick company, has
laid out tract known as "High-
fields" near Huffnagle station
within the borugh limits, and are
planning to pipe spring water to
the various bungalows now under
construction. These are to be used
for the Brick Company employees.
Harry Worthington finished the in
stallation of a pumping plant yes
terday at Mr.. Haryey's home, at
the highest point on the tract, and
it will run by gravity from that
point to the other buildings Three
bungalows have already been built,
and three more are under construc-
ton on this tract, which has only
been opened a couple of months
The output of the New Hope
Brick company is said to be sold for
several months ahead, so its en-
ployees expect to be busy all
the year.

Busy Session
Approve r. R. Siding For Grist Mill

Lambertville-The Board of Com
missioners had busy session last
Monday night in which was sand
wiched trip around the city to
inspect street curbings. Following
this the Clerk was directed to write
the property owners whose curbs
and paving were at fault, request
ing that they make repairs.
Representatives of the Wallace
Milling Co. were present in the in
terest of having a railroad siding
run to their property on Lambert
street. 1t was pointed out that this
siding would provide facilities for
increasing the production of the
mill, and that this business growth
would indirectly benefit the city.
Whereupon the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Be it resolved: that this Commission
expresses its approval of a propo-
sition to permit a siding to be built
from the South West corner of
Coryell and Lambert streets to the
Wallace Milling Co. property, pro-
vided satisfactory plans are present
ed and meet with general approval.
OTHER BUSINESS
Permission was granted to open
the paving at LOG and 200 South
Main street for installing gas and
water connections.
Applications were received from
J. A. Vetter and Jos. A. Bloomer
for reappointment as Assessors.
These were ordered laid on the
table.
Resolution was adopted to re-
consider the action taken ON execu-
ling contract for street improve
ment which was passed at the last
The former action provided
for the Mayor only to act in exc
cutting the contract. This was amend
ed to provide that contracts be exc
cuted by the Board of Commission
ers as a whole.
Commissioner Hayhurst was au-
thorized to purchase 200 feet of ~
inch round sewer pipe for use in
street draining.
Report was made that the Com
missioners had met with the West
Amwell Township officials, and that
satisfactory arrangements had been
made for garbage dumping grounds.

THE BEAR WENT OVER
THE MOUNTAIN
Clawing At The Seat OF Raymond
Griffith's Trousers


This is one of the screamingly
funny situations in the feature pic
ture at the Strand next Monday af-
ternoon and evening. The name of
the picture is "The Night Club" and
it is one of the most uproarious
comedies ever screened of the "Silk
Hat Comedian"
The cast contains some of the
most illustrious names on the screen
today-Wallace Beery. the most like
able villain known to movie fans,
Vera Reynolds, Louise Fazenda and
a supporting cast happily harmon
lied for laugh-making.
This movie was one of the biggest
hits of the year on Broadway, and
the fact that it comes to Lambert
Vile so early after it's release is due
to the progressive policy adopted by
Mr.. Rosen, the new Strand owner.
Greed" which showed at the
Strand last Monday and Tuesday
is one of the most masterful pic
lures Won Stroheim has directed.
But it was tragic and gruesome,
and that doen't appeal to the fun
loving public.
"The Night Club" is as masterfuI
in perturbation, and in addition it
acts like T, N. T. in blasting laugh
ter out of its audiences. 1t will keep
you chuckling for weeks afterward
when you remember its comedy sit
uations.

Rubber Crisis A.
fects LambertViWe

Lambertville-The present high
price Of crude rubber is booming
the business of the New Jersey
Rubber Company, whose plant II
along the railroad north of Coryell
street,
This industry reclaims rubber, and
the higher the price Of the crude
product, the more activity there is
in the reclaimed product or "shod-
dy", which they manufacture in re
local plant. Day and night shifts
are now employed.
On the other hand the Lambert
vile Rubber Co. is hard hit by the
present high prices of the crude
gum rubber, as they had no reserve
stock on hand when prices began to
soar. Consequently they are con-
fronted with having to pay exhorbi-
tant prices for rubber necessary to
fill orders taken when the cost of
the crude material was less than
half what it is at the present time.

SCHOOL BOYS AND
GIRLS INDULGE IN
WIDESPREAD DRINKING

Liquor drinking by the boys and
girls of Trenton schools has become
so bad that constant complaints
are directed at the Police Depart
ment. Director of Public Safety La
Barre on June 10th began vigor-
Gus campaign to stem the flood of
liquor which is undermining the
morals of children.
Mr.. LaBarre, who believes that
much harm has come in the train of
prohibition, declared today that in
his opinion the worst evil that has
come is the steadily increasing use
of liquor by young boys and girls.
Practically all of the boys of today
carry TASKS, the Director said, and
the liquor is obtained from two
sources. One source is the home
he explained, adding that not a few
boys are able to get their liquor
from the stock which their fathers
have on hand and dispense to guests.
The other source is from Illicit deal
ers, and this latter presents SER
ious problem, the liquor being almost
invariably bad and exceedingly harm
full to the children who consume It,

WHITNEY DEFEATS
MORAN BY $4,000
Swamps Edge Candidate In Hun
terdon County

Senator Arthur Whitney, Repub-
lican, led his ticket by an over
whelming majority for the guber-
material nomination last Tuesday
Altho the vote was light, due to the
change of the primaries from Sep
temebr to June, Whitney's major
ity left no uncertainty as to the
choice of Jersey Republicans.
With only few districts miss
ing, Whitney has 1d9,653 as OPP
posed to 117,2S3 for McCran, the
hand-picked candidate of Senator
Walter L, Edge. Doremus ran a
poor third with only 5S,265 votes.
Whitney's majority is already over
$4,000, and bids fair to increase
when missing districts are heard
from
In Hunterdon County, where
Edges lieutenants were supposed
to have the Republican vote lined up
for McCran, Republicans demon
| strated their independence by cast
ing an overwhelming vote for Whit
ney. His total at the hour of
going to press is 2,702 as opposed
to McCrans pitiful 707 votes. Dor
emus only polled 2s1 votes in Hun
terdon.
Not only was Edges candidate
defeated in Hunterdon, but his can
didates for the State Committee
were also decisively defeated T.. B.
Allen and Mrs r. II. Bells, of
Pennington, who represented the
Edge faction, polled 1913 and 1,506
votes respectively. They were easily
defeated by T.. p, Baylor, of Hamp-
ton, and Mrs. Carrie d. S. Coch-
ran, of Lambertville, who polled
| 1866 and 1896 votes respectively.
The significant thing behind this
vote is that it was a protest against
the attempted domination Of the
county by Pennington politicians. 1t
is also significant for the indepen-
dence that is growing among the
voters in deciding for themselves on
the candidates they wish to support.
II. G. Prall, for Assembly, polled
1850; C. l.. Fell, for County Clerk,
3,173; Judson r Kerr, for freehold
er, 1,S45, to p. Insley Craig's ,450
On the Democratic ticket, A.
Harry Moore, for Governor, polled
