Council—Fix Beats of Po
licemen and Transact Mucf
Other Business.
Special to the EVIZXIXO NEWS.
Keyport, Feb. 28.—At the régula
meeting of the borough council Mon
day night much business of lmporta.DC
was transacted. The first communlca
tion acted upon vas tliat from form
er Judge J. Clarence Conover wh
represented the borough of Keypor
In the (Joldschmldt-Kcyport case. Th
case has been decided upon In favo
of Keyport by Justices Kalisli, Mlnturi
and Swayze. The opinion filed was a
follows:
"The prosecutrix seeks to review ai
ordinance for widening a street b
taking some of her land. The ordl
nanco Itself provides that the ton
shall be taken only upon making com
pensation to the owners by purchaslm
at a jjflce to be agreed upon and If a
agreement cannot be reached by th
payment of damages as provided b
law. Tlie objections therefore on th
ground that no proper effort has beei
made to agree with the land owner
are premature. If such efforts are no
made It will be time enough to rals<
the objection whon the borough under
takes to condemn. In fact the ordl
nance contemplates a purchaso b
agreement with the owner. As to th
objection that the widening of th
street is unnecessary it Is enough ti
say that the question is one of Judg
ment and we cannot set up our Judg
nient against that of the borougl
authorities. Let the writ be dismiss
ed with costs."
The communication was filed.
A communication 1o the mayor from
Robert Walstrom asked tbat the bor
; ough assist In locating a certain Otto
Johnson, whose uncle died In Swed
j en some years ago. An inheritance
ι awaits Johnson if he can be located.
I A communication from William J.
Dryden, of Asbury Park, regarding
' Walling Terrace, slated that the street
I was in a poor condition and that com
I plaints had not received attention,
ι j After much discussion the matter was
! referred to the street committee.
The Monmouth and Middlesex Klec
' trie I>lght, Heat and Power Company
presented their lighting schedule for
the month. This was accepted.
A matter of special Importance was
the determining of the beats for the
local officers. The officer who goes
on duty at 2 P. M. Is to proceed Up
Broad street as far as the high school
building to watch that when school Is
out no children are hurt. He is then
to proceed up Broad street as far as
Lufburrow's store, returning down
Broad to Front street where he will
remain until β P. M. when he will be
relieved. At 7 P. M. he Is to go to At
lantic and First streets, down First
street to Walnut, up to Second, then up
Second. This beat Is to be patroled
hourly until 2 A. M. The local officers
had been summoned to appear before
the council, and It was for the reason
of receiving proper Instructions as to
their beats.
Mayor Bogai dus called upon Justice
of the Peace Isaac N. Johnston and
stated that the trial which took place
last week, whereby the Justice declar
ed that Officer Georgo M. Mason had
slandered him. was a disgraceful act.
Mayor Bogardus also slated that he
wanted no more trouble of the kind
while he was in office. Justice Jphn
ston stated that everything on the po
lice for had gone along all right until
Officer Mason was taken on. This
concluded the controversy.
Councilman „C. W. Moore stated
that he had obtained the prices of
meters in New York and could buy
as good a meter as had been previ
ο h al y purchased by tlic borough for
three dollars cheaper, from a certain
company, being able to purchase
them for $8.50. He stated that In
every detail the meters were of as
Une material. The committee was
instructed to purchase twenty-five of
these meters from the National
Meter Company.
1 Councilman Bedle stated that ho
thought it was cheaper for the bor
ough to hire a team for the collec
tion of garbage than to buy a team
and own it at the expense of the bor
ough. Mayor Bogardus stated that
I ho thought It much cheaper for the
! borough to buy the team. After
much discussion it was voted to hire
the team and driver and upon mo
I tion of Councilman Bedle, seconded
j by Councilman Stldfole, it was de
cided to award the contract to Amil
Pimper for the collection of the gar
bage and to Theodore Carhart for
the hiring of a team.
j Councilman Bedle. of the street
ι committee, stated that lie had re
ceived a letter regarding the slot
machines now workiug In the bor
ough. He stated that he would for
ward the letter to the prosecutor for
action.
I Councilman Moore stated that the
portion of Broad street in front of
Fred White's residence had cracked
and had risen several Inches. It was
immediately voted to notify the free
holders of the existing condition of
I Broad street. Conncilman Bedle
made a resolution that a committee
I of two and the mayor wrlto Instruc
tions to thoso employed by the bor
ough as to their responsibility and
authority. After much discussion It
j was decided that the committee in
clude Councllmen Moore, Cherry
j and Bedle instead of the mayor.
An electric pump at tho water
; works Is not being used at present
owing to the high cost to run same.
The matter was left with the water
committee to make a report at the
next meeting. Councilman Moore
I also stated that he saw a lot of old
brass and Junk at the water works
which could bo turned Into cash.
Moore was instructed to look It all
up and dispose of tt as he sees fit.
Councilman Cherry etated that J,
Harold Hendrickson had askèd him
to ascertain the time the garbage
man came up Atlantic street, stating
that the collector came up the street
too early for him to get his can out
Some discussion fallowed, but it was
generally conceded that tlie collector
did not get around any too early and
nothing was done concerning same.
Coucilman Moore stated that a
culvert was needed on Slain street as
there was a large liole on tho west
side, which side is used by the em
ployes of the Whilal Tatum com
pany. The clerk was instructed tc
notify the freeholders.
Councilman Bcdle stated that he
thought traffic signa should be placed
on the Middletown road during the
rebuilding of the road, to direct
traffic down Green Grove avenue. A
resolution for the payment of all
bills was offered by Councilman
Smith and passed.
The borough collector reported a
balance on hand of J3.0G2.S3 at the
last meeting and $2,126.53 balance
on hand at the present time. The
report was filed.
The snow ordinance was read and
carried, and at the next regular
meeting It will again come up for
amendment. Councilman Moore stat
ed that the borough had the Perkins
bill riuotatlon on file. The name of
Hatfield Merrill came up as a new
member of the fire palrol. The ap
pointment was unanimously con
firmed.
It was passed that all persons
holding bills against the borough
must have same sworn to before a
notary public before same may be
presented to the borough for pay
ment exccpt those covered by reso
lution.
This concluded the business of the
evening, the meeting adjourning to
meet in special session to hear the
report of the auditor who has been
at work on the borough books for
the past week. It was thought that
the report frould be presented at
this meeting but the auditor asked
that a special meeting be called to
hear the report.
Heard and Seen
Here and There
Now York, Feb. 28—Members of
the New York Police Department to
day began to study law at Columbia
University. Commissioner Woods
mado a special arrangement with the
Columbia Law School whereby the
entire course will cost each policeman
only |1C, with IS additional for books.
The course will last for sixteen
weeks with one two hour period each
week. Borne law has heretofore been
taught at the police training school,
but the idea of an advanced course
came from the policemen themselves.
The law course will not be required
by the department. It will be entirely
optional with the man himself and I
must be pursued in hours when he is
off duty.
The courses are given with the Idea
of training the policeman in the law
as It is applied to his own particular
duties so he may have a better un
derstanding of his Job.

Philadelphia, Feb. 28—Far-famed
Philadelphia scrapple, a concoction
once eaten always remembered is now

fond of scrapple, recently wrote from
London to a friend here to send him
some scrapple. The friend never re

of the belligerent sound of the word.

take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with llthia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
aeutralize the acids in urine so It no

ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this,
also keep up the water drinking, and
do doubt you will wonder what became

China, Glass and Housewares
—Enter the Great March Sales
These great events of the housekeeping year—especially the China Sale—hung by a thread.
Markets were rushed with regular orders. Foreign shipments were slow. Foreign potteries had no coal
to fire their kilns. Then the Wanamaker Store took tilings into its own hands. Personal visits were
made to foreign and American manufactories by Wanamaker commissioners, and their appreciation of
our many years of business, and the force of our present orders, started a stream of merchandise New
Yorkwards. So, we are able to present, beginning Thursday, March first, at prices 10 to 50 per cent, less,
the great March Sales, as usual.

Farm and Garden
Timely Hints for Agriculturists—
Proieslonal and Amateur
It would be magnificent if a back-to
the-land movement could be baeed on
a sound foundation. Women wage
earners are turning more to occupa
tions that brins them nearer to na
ture and give them a feeling of pro
prietorship in the business they es
pouse. The day of farm drudgery
is passing. The telephone, the rural
free deliveries, the automobile, arc
wiping out the loneliness of farm life,
lessening the labor, brightening the
outlook. They are the harbingers oi
still better things. It Is not a distant
day when machine power will take
the place of muscle power on the farm;
when farming will be done on a man
ufacturing basis.
In our farm methods we have been
crude, in our marketing methods we
have been worse. A baek-to-the-land
movement that means nothing mors
than a continuation of the old sys
tem, or lack of system, will be of little
value to the nation or those who take
part In It. A back-to-the-land move
ment that ushers in order, regularly,
common sense, efficiency, will mark ar
epoch in the nation's history and give
to women an avenue of Independence
at once dignified and delightful.
PrJzo Cow of New Jersey
Eatontown, Feb. 28:—The besl
cow in New Jersey lives on the farm
of Charles D. Cleveland, stock
farmer and poultryman, near Eaton
town. Alphea of Pinehurst is her
registered name, and she has been
officially designated by the American
Guernsey Cattle Club as the best
milk producing cow in the state.
A yearly record of the milk grlver
by Alphea and kept under rules ot
the club shows that she produced
14,717 pounds of milk and 810
pounds of butter fat during the year.
j The previous milk producing cliaro
. plon of the state was Jason's J.'n
i chantress, also owned by Cleveland.
OrganJae Shipping Bureau
Red Bank, Feb. 28:—At a recent
meeting of the Farmers' Shipping
; Association of Middletown and Hax
j let, plana for the coming season's
! work were discussed and arranged.
rThe association was formed last year
' with good results ta the farmers who
1 were members and this year the
! work will be carried on In a much
[wider scope. The members have
agreed to ship all their produce
through the association, cxcept what
they may sell locally, each member
being privileged to sell any part or
all of hts crops at Red Bank or at
any of the other towns in the county,
but he agrees to ship all goods sent
out of the county through the aaeo
' ciation. One general manager will
: take charge of selling· all the produce
{and an expert shipping and packing
' agent will be employed at the Kazlet
I section and another at the Middle
! town station to inspect and load all
produce cars.
The work of the inspection and
' loading agents will begin with the
shipments of asparagus. The pro
duce will be carefully graded and
J this, it is expected, will result ill
I much higher prices than w here only
ordinary care is taken in packing
goods, or where goods are packed
without grading. The inspection and
loading agent is expected to see that
baskets and packages of produce Of
fruit are not "topped." but are ot
the same grade all the way through,
j The association is purely a cooper
■ ative one and each member pays
t dues of *15. If more funds are
needed to carry on the t'rganlz&ltan'a
• work, an assessment on the member»
will be levied, but this assessment
sliall not in ar.y case exceed three
I per cent, of the amount of bustneae
done. At the end of the year, M
i there are any profits made, they will
be divided among the members of
the association in proportion to the
1 amount of their shipments.
