CHAUTAUQUA in
LAMBERTVILLE
Sessions to be Held on the Jer-
sey Side of the Delaware
For First This Year.
PARKING SPACE PLANNED

The sessions of the 1926 Coryells
Ferry Chautauqua will be held in
Lambertville instead of in New
Hope, the tent being located on
North Main Street, where ample
parking space will be provided for
autos. All the previous Chautaquas
since the first session in 1912 have
been held on North Main Street,
New Hope.
The Chautauqua will begin on
Saturday, August 2, and end on
Friday, September 3, which will be
convenient for those only able to
attend through one week.
Many interesting features are to
be provided, with complete change
of program each day. Two of the
big features will be the Drinkwater
play of abraham Lincoln and a
humoresque, "Applesauce.
Several eminent speakers are on
the list and the children will close
the affair with big patriotic pag-
cant, representing the one hundred
and fiftieth year of American indie
pendence.
Alfred l.. Crimson, president of the
local Chautauqua organization, be-
lieves that the holding of the affair
in Lambertville this year will bring
in many Jersey folks who have not
been in the habit of attending regu-
larly; particularly as ample accom-
modations will be provided for the
parking of autos without leaving
them standing nthe street.

BOY SCOUT NEWS

At the suggestion of Walter
Lochner and through his good Of
fees, arrangements have been made
with the Central Transportation
Company to have safety bus
carry our Scouts to Camp. Hereafter
"Miss Trenton" will take our Scouts
to Camp Pahaquarra with a greatly
icreased comfort and degree of
safety.
Making the return trip on Sattr-
days with the boys who are return
ing from their stay at Camp Paha-
uuarra, the bus will reach Trenton
about 7.30 in the evening. Where
it is possible the boys will be TAX
EN- near their own homes, where this
is not feasible the bus will return
them to Headquarters building.
Saturday morning, July 3lst,
looked like a picnic in front of
Headquarters. When "Miss Trenton"
rolled up, my what clatter there
was. Signs were attached on the
sides of the huge omnibus stating
clearly for all who might run to
read, that the occupants were Boy
Scouts on their way to Camp Pa
haquarra.
Thirty-two boys left Headquarters
and others were to be picked up at
Yardley and in Lambertville.

LAMBERT STREET
REBUILDINCDONE

For the first time in their shistory
the westerly end of Coryell Street,
and Lambert Street from the New
Jersey Rubber Company's plant to
Bridge Street, were treated to
coat of asphaltic oil last Friday af-
ternoon. Commissioner Charles +.
Holcombe had hard time getting
the oil for this particular section,
first due to shortage when the
oiling company was here some weeks
ago, and later due to the showers
which nterfered with its spreading.
Tx CITY ressnri,,S 'srlrrv Orr: =
prevail to the stoning OF the whole
of Lambert Street, as well as the
short section of Coryell Street, so
that the job as now completed is
first-class in every particular.
The property owners around the
intersection of Coryell and Lambert
Streets, as well as on the Southerly
end of Lambert Street, have taken a
great deal of pains to have their
homes kept in good shape, but the
dusty roadway spoiled most of it
for them. There was some question
as to the status of these thorough
fares, but Coryell Street, all the way
to the Delaware River, has been
public thoroughfare since 1873, and
Lambert Street has been open many
years. Whether Coryell Street was
ever officially accepted by the town
or (later) the city of Lambcrtville
is doubtful, but there are many
other prominent thoroughfares in
the city that never had official ac-
ceptance.
All the streets involved, however,
were shown on the official city map
made in 1874, so there is no doubt
concerning the legality of these
thoroughfares.
Commissioner Holcombe has been
persistenly on the job since the re-
pair work began on the streets, and
has kept all the promises he made
as to improvements.

It's the approaching visit of the
Walter L. Main Circus that is the
question of the hour in Lambert

the "hoys" of sixty. The billboards

ial displays of the many attractions
Of the circus, have for several days
been Lne point of focus ii all eyes.
The kiddies are reslessly awaiting
the day when they will experience
their annual big holiday event, ac-
knowledged to be better than Christ +
mas and the Fourth of July put
together.
About the time the mill;man is
making his rounds on the morning
of Wednesday, August i8. the biz
palatial special train of the Walter
l.. Main circus will be pulling slowly
into the railroad yards. Scores Ct
the kiddes will be surprising their
parents by jumping out Of bed with
out even being called. They will be
seen running towards the tracks
and there will later be found watch

of the unloading Of mammoth cir

BIDS FOR ROAD
TO BENNINGTON
Delaware and Raritan Town
ship Committees Will Con-
tract for Joint Highway.
BEYOND SERGEANTSVILLE

Bids will be received by the COM
Townships, at the Community House
in Sergeantsville, this Saturday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock, for the i'm
provement of the road from the cen
ter of Sergeantsville to Walnut
Brook, distance of four and one
third miles. From there into Elem
ington borough the road has beer
macadamized for a number of years.
The new roadway will be of pene-
tration macadam, and will complete
the break between Stockton and the
county seat After it is finished it
will be taken over and maintained
by the County of Hunterdon, giving
Lambertville two county roads to
Flemington-the section from this
city to Pennington having been TAX
en- over by the county last year.
1t is estimated that the new road
will cost $4,000, of which Delaware
Township has agreed to pay $4,000;
Raritan Township $4,000, and the
state $4,000.
While this Stockton Pennington
route is officially part of the State
Highway system, and will eventually
be concreted the present action is
deemed best for the communities
concerned,
1t is anticipated that the ultimate
concrete road will diverge from the
present route in several places, and
that portions of the present high
way will remain under county con
troll. Each diversion would be to
avoid bad grades or built-up places,
so the present roads would still
have to be maintained at those
points.

new CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
Lambertville People Meet and
Plan Regeneration of Body
Once in Active Operation.
TO TAKE OVER CHARTER

The first move toward a rejuven-
ated Chamber of Commerce for the
city of Lambertville was made last
Friday evening when goodly num-
Der of local citizens gathered in the
commissioner rooms to hear plans
for the work propounded by Walter
O. Loehner, secretary Of the Tren-
ton Chamber of Commerce.. Mr..
Lochner outlined methods of conduct
and expressed the belief that Lam
bertville might secure 200 members
for its organization.
Walter F. Hayhurst, secretary of
the old Chamber of Commerce, in
coporated a dozen years ago, but
which has lain dormant for seven or
eight years, said that the old or
ganization would be glad to turn
over their charter to the new.
Theodore G. Kitchin, secretary of
the Merchants Association, said it
was the feeling of the members at
tending the last meeting that they
would affiliate with the Chamber of
Commerce as individuals, but retain
their own organization. This asso-
citation has been in existence since
1915, and has never missed its or
ganization routine in 1876 months.
MAJ names We're suggested as
temporary officers Of the new or
ganizs tion, and the following COM
mittee was finally named to arrange
further meetings and prepare work
ing PLANS: Chairman, Horace G..
Prall vice chairman, Louis Botti;
secretary, Walter f. Hayhurst; Ed
ward ]. Moonan, Miss Alice G. Hoff-
man, Charles M. Dilts, Samuel b.
Whitley, Charles d. McCracken, of
Lambertville, and DIR. r. c. Magill
and Charles S. Worthngton, of
New Hope.
The board of directors of the old
Chamber of Commerce, Walter F..
Hayhurst, Fred w. Massey, joseph
Akers and Theodore, G. Kitchin,i all
have rendered their designations, so
that new organization may be
made up by election from the new
membership.
The active spirits in the new or
ganizaiion are confident that the
time is ripe to make Lambertville
grow, and good, live Chamber Of
Commerce is one of the essentials
to this end.
Further NEE iugs will be held at
early dates.

COURT NEWS
Before Magistrate Elmer W. Smith

Before Magistrate Elmer W. Smith
Henry Naylor, of this city, became
intoxicated, it was alleged, and
went to the foundry of the Lam
bertville Iron and Steel Company,
where until recently he had been
employed, to solicit money to pay a
fine of friend. When the money
was not Forthcoming he started to
raise a rumpus. Before the police
could be summoned he left, but
continued his profanity on South
Union street, when he was appre-
hended by Trooper Wallace of the
local State Police. Because of his
visit to the foundry, four charges
were lodged against him and he was
given hearing Thursday morning.
The Trooper accused him Of using
loud and indecent language on the
public street, another disorderly
charge was made by Joseph Stock
ton, foreman at the foundry, that
the defendant raised a disturbance
and engaged in fisticuffs and using
offensive and indecent language on
private property. On each Of these
charges he was sentenced to serve
thirty days in the county Jail. Char
les Narducci, whom he attacked at
the foundry, made complaint of
assault and battery against him. On
this charge he was held in 500
bail for the Grand Jury. Patrick
Ferris was attacked while he was
pouring hot lead into moulds and
choked and struck, and threatened
with violence when he left the mill.
On this charge he was put under
$500 bail to appeal be.cre the
grand jury He was committed on
all charges, no bail being furnished.
It is said by persons familiar with
foundry work that the employees
were placed in precarious position
by MAYORS act in grabbing Ferris
while pouring moulten metal. Be-
sides the loss occasioned by running
the work, if the metal had spilled
out upon the floor it would have
splattered in all directions, burning
the employees and perhaps the
building.
George Goodwin, of this city,
was arrested by Trooper Fusco for
being intoxicated on South Union
street, last Thursday, and was fin
ed $500 and costs under the City
Disorderly Ordinance.
