Ritz called tho meeting to order
shortly after 8 o'clock and there

Tho communication in regard to
the voltage taken here In December
by the department of water supply,
gas and electricity, shows some In
teresting figures In regard to the
power that is given here during the

from 80 to 117 volts,, the latter num

diminishing as soon as people began
to get up for tho day. The letter in
regard to the cable across to the gar
bage plant was also read. James
Lalng reported on the recent heaiing
held before the local board of public
improvement In regard to the city
acquiring the end of Main street and
said that matter was progressing
favorably for the second hearing that
Is to bo held on Tuesday, March 6.
Mr. Ritz, as head of the executive
committee, said that the date for tho
banquet arranged for March 24 did
not meet with favor of the Bethel
Ladies' Aid Society that Is to prepare
the banquet, because of It being on
Saturday night. They claim that
they can not get through until after
12, which would bring it up to Sun
day morning. The date will proba
bly be changed to Tuesday, March
20, If arrangements can bo made for
the hall at that time.
Mr. Lalng reported on tho garbage
hearing held at Albany last week
at which he was a delegate from the
local organization. A petition pre
sented by residents of Bernard ave
nue for a better water supply in that
street was favorably acted upon and
'a resolution was adopted to assist
them in seeking relief. There are
forty-five houses on that street which
have been without water during tho
past two weeks because of the priv
ate service line being frozen up dur
ing that time. In tho petition a main
is asked for to be laid In that street
from the water department.
Conditions at the postofflce with
regard to one clerk to serve in the
place of two before the consolidation
of the island postofflce system was
taken up and the secretary was or
dered to write Postmaster .Frank O.
*~I>viscoll, of tho Staten Islànd nost
ofcc, asking for relief. ^QJjtBajrneH,

where the same conditions arise.
This matter will also bo taken up

•standing and Is increasing at every
meeting. Several new ones joined at

MATAWAN COUNCIL
TO WARON DOGS
Matawan Board at Busy Meet
ing Last Night Transacts
Large Amount of Business
—Sinking Fund Comm.
Special to the EVEXIXO yEWB.
Matawan. Feb. 28.—The second
February meeting of the borough
council was held last night with May
or William M. Sulphin, presiding.
Councllmen present were Aaris B.
Henderson, Frank Howard Lloyd
George W. Parker, Asher P. Woolley,
Tunis R. Schanck and Cleveland Ε
Watrous. Other borough ofllclals were
present.
Councilman Watrous, chairman of
the light committee, said that the elec
tric light company had Just finished
running a new line Into Matawan and
that the current light were greatly
improved. He said that the company
also in the very near future Intends
to build a sub-station at Matawan
near tho Magnolia Metal Company
plant.
Councllmen Schenck, chairman of
the law and ordinance committee re
ported that the building being erected
by James liushnell in Main street was
being built less than thirty feet from
the curb line which le the building
line recently established by the coun
cil. Mr. Schenck said that some thing
should be done bo that the ordinance
would be enforced. Mr. Schenck was
Informed by the mayor and street com
mittee that an injunction would be
served on Mr. Bushnell to stop the
construction of the building, and that
Counsel Elmer H. Geran had been in
structed to issue one.
Councilman Schenck said that he
had been Informed that several auto
mobiles and a large truck had mistak
en Maiden Lane for Ravine Drive
while passing through the borough on
their way to New York city and had
just been saved from running into the
creek by a Mr. Van Brackle, who lived
at the foot of the street. Mr. Schenck
explained that Maiden Lane is a short
street a few yards north of Ravine
Drive and extends back from the Main
street for about fifty yards where it
ends on a high bank overlooking the
creek. There is neither a light nor
fence to warn anyone of the conditions
at this point and had not Mr. Van
Brackle stopped the cars they would
have plunged into the creek. Coun
cilman Schanck said he thought a
light should be placed at this point to
warn people of the danger. The mat
ter was left In the hands of the street
committee.
Councilman Schenck also reported
that there are three trees in Middle
sex street that are standing in the
roadway and that they are dangerous
to travel. The matter was left in the
hands of the street committee to have
the trees removed.
aixclj vj*. ouipiuii fiiiui mat inaroia
Powelson had declined to serve as a
sinking fund commissioner and in Ills
place he appointed William H. Tut
hill, vice president of the National
Freehold Banking: Company. Mr.
Tuthill was confirmed by the vote of
the council.
At this time Councilman Schenck
brought up the question of dogs run
ning at large and said that some
thing should be done by the council
about the matter. The borough has
an ordinance to the effect that a tax
on each dog in the borough muet be
paid, t^which time the owner Is given
*—tag- to be fasteiicil on the
animal's collar. Collector Thompson
who was present, said that last year
only one license was Issued and that
was to Councilman Watrous. It was
pointed out that the dog catchers
that the borough has employed In the
past, did not prove a successful way
to take care of the matter. Council
man Lloyd called the council's atten
tion to the recent order concerning
dogs, Issued by Asbury Park. The
order In that city makes everyone a
dog catcher and any one finding a dog
on the street without a license tag afcn
tako that dog to the pound and re
ceive a reward of twenty-flve cents.
This way of dealing with the matter
seemed to meet with a great deal of
approval by the councllmen, but as
Counsel Geran was unable to be pres
ent and Inform the council whether
they were able to do this way or not,
under the ordinance, Marshals Mul
soft and Walters were Instructed to
gather up the dogs that do not carry <
a license tag and take them to the ;
pound where they will be kept for
two days and killed unless called for .
and their license paid and the costs.
The marshals are to receive fifty cents
a head for each dog caught. The dog
tax at the present time Is $1 for a
male and $2 for a female. Some of
the councllmen thought the tax on
the females should be made higher,
but this was finally passed over for
the time being.
Councilman Watrous said that
many had complained to him about
Irregular assessments, that is two lots
the same size on the same streets be
ing taxed less than the other. Council
man Watrous said that he thought
the borough should follow out the
scheme used by New York city and
lately adopted by Keyport. That Is,
to let the public have access to the
tax duplicate. Councilman Lloyd in
formed Councilman Watrous that ac
cording to the state laws the tax du
plicate Is always open to the general
public and is on file at the oftlce of
Collector Forman R. Thompson. The
collector confirmed Councilman Lloyd
in his contention.
Councilman Watrous wanted to
know how much It costs to operate
the water works plant for one horse
power hour. Superintendent Rue,
who was present, said that he was
unable to grive the figure because of
the fact that, the borough had never

taking the State by storm.
In his Interview with the Tanlac
Man, Mr. Hwlck. who resides at 1171
East Grand street, said:
"Although I am not In the habit of
recommending any medicine. I must
confess it la my duty to publicly in
dorse your Tanlac, that my fellow citi
zens may know how good It is. I was
for years a sufferer from rheumatic
pains in the back, shoulders and arms.
For something like eiwht years I tried
everything recomended for my trouble,
but could obtain no relief.
"It seemed that my whole system
was affected. I felt drowsy and worn
out during· the day, and at night, when
I should have slept, I would toss rest
lessly for hours. Tanlac has changed
all this in the short space of ten days.
"I am now rid of the old pains and
can hardly believe I'm the same man
who used to suffer so. I feel entirely
different. I've real energy now—feel
ambitious and vigorous—more alive In
every way. And I can sleep like a log
at night. I would count myself un
grateful if I did not recommend so fine
a preparation."

Tells the Story
There's no need of your spend
ing so much money for coal
and having to put out so many
ashes. Install a Boynton
Square Pot Boiler and you'll
save much unnecessary ex
pense and work.
Here's the reason: Square Pot
Boilers burn less coal and give
more heat. This is made possible
by the square firepot that elimi
nates all waste of heat and coal.
It gives as much heat from a
small amount of coal as a round
firepot gives from a large amount.
