ami residents of Oils borough are
awaiting anxiously the result of the
hearings to be held tomorrow in the
court of chancery at Trenton, on the
temporary injunction granted the
Mexican Petroleum Corporation
against the Borough of Roosevelt
and the application for an injunc
tion against the Petroleum Corpora
tion made by Henry and Emma
Bunce. property owners it this bor
ough. The two rules will be argued
tomorrow by former Senator Thomas
Brown, representing Mr. and Mrs.
Bunce and Joseph Strieker, repre
senting the petroleum corporation.
It is likely that either Judge Peter
F Daly or Mr. Brown will represent
the borough of Roosevelt.
It is likely that the first hearing
will bo In connection with grant
ing of a permanent injunction
against the borough to restrain the
removal ot the railroad tracks across
the property. The second hearing
will be in connection with the appli
cation for an injunction by Henry
and Emma Bunce to restrain the pe

Workman under the direction
of Street Commissioner Joseph
Crane are at work today laying out
and cutting through the streets on
the Gantz tract, which have been
claimed by the petroleum corpora
tion. In doing this work, the street
commissioner is carrying out the or
ders of the borough council.
The petroleum corporation is work
ing hard to erect all the oil storage
tanks possible before further action
can be taken. Up to the present
taiitte ten tanks are well under way
and many more are being laid out.
Ten or fifteen cars of material have
been placed on the side track built
across the property by the corpora
tion.
SAY CHECK TO SETTLE CASE
OUT OF COURT NOT GOOD
Troubles are coming in flocks for
Elmer W. Christiansen, who waF
twice arrested yesterday. First he
was fined $5 for attempting to do
electrical work without the neces
sary permit, then, a few hours after
tho payment of the penalty he wa
re arrbated cn i tilt lge of larceny of
a quantity of wire a’most two years
ago.
The next move in the affair was »
successful attempt to settle the sec
ond case out. of court. A relative of
the man presented a check to
James Doukas, the conrplianant, In
payment for the mis3ing wire. Dou
kas accepted the check, but later
Recorder Plckersgill was told the
check was not covered by money
in the bark.
The relative who wrote the check
is now served with the customary
five days notice to make the paper
good In tho event that she fails
she will probably be called upon to
answer a bad check charge in court.

ACTION ASKED
Mayor Has Letter Before the
Board Requesting Early
Action on Change of Polls
Owing to the failure of the alder,
men to take any net ion on his ap
pointment of three men to serve a."
a redistrbting committee, Mayoi
William C. Wilson last night had
before the council another commu
nication urging immediate action.
Early in January the mayor named
as a reilistrlcting committee I'
William linker, Adam Eckert and
Henry McCullough, one Republican
and two Democrats.
At the aldernranlc meeting o(
January 16 the aldermen were rioti
dod by the mayor of bis appoint
ments and the matter was referred
to the committee of the whole. As
it Is necessary for the aldermen to
approve the mayor's appointments
before the committee can function,
some action on the put t of the coun
cil has been awaited for almost two
months by the mayor.
The mayor’s letter to the board
said: "Will you kindly advise me
what action, if any, you intend to
take with reference to my appoint
ments in the matter of redistrictlng
the wards In the city of Perth Am
boy. This, as you know, in manda
tory under the statue and your im
mediate action in this matter i-=
urged.”
Efforts made by the Republicans
to redistrlct the city following their
defeat at the polls last November
and the loss of control of '|io city
were defeated when a restraining or
dpn tv9A RPP.urpif hv thp Dnmnrrnts
ind no decision authorising the may
or to make his appointments was
made until the Democratic Board
of Aldermen had taken office. It
ivai then thought the matter would
be dropped if it was a political move
a8 the Democratic council would not
he expected to approve of a Repub
lican redistricting.
The mayor's action In placing two
Democrats and one Republican on
this committee came as a surprise
and resulted in the aldermen failing
to approve of the mayor’s action.
Whether or not the aldermen will
comply with the mayor’s request to
take some action in the matter is a
question. The mayor's letter was re
ferred to the committee of die whole.
WASHINGTON. March n.-Comp
i roller of the Currency Orissinger
today announced that In the event
of the enactment of soldiers’ bonus
legislation providing tor payment by
adjusted service certificate, ho would
advise national banks to decline to
accept the certificates as security for
oans.
Mr. Crlssinger described the pro
posed plan of issuing certificates for
use by.ft-e soldiers If desired, as
dhilai'erai for loans to 8 per cent
of their face value as the worst
kind of frozen credit and declared
while he would be without authority
to order national banks to refuse to
accept them as security he would
strongly advise against acceptance.

HERE, BUT AWAIT ROBIN
METUCHEN. March 9—Signs of
an early spring are forecasted by
some of the old timers, the conclu

yesterd ayafternoon when a largo
(lock of wild geese were wend
ing their way northward, following
their honking leaders.
This spectacle, they say is an un
wavering sign that the rigors of
winter have passed and milder
weather is an assured fact. Other
indications which would seem to jus
tify their predictions are the beau
tiful green tinge that is beginning
to show In the lawns with a south

sap in tjio trees is commencing to
ilow.
Prognosticators are now petlont
ly awaiting the appearance of the
