PORT LECTURE Mayor Church of Port of N. Y. Authority Gives Most In teresting Talk WOODBRIDGK March 10—One of the best illustrated lectures ever riven In the town was greatly en joyed by an appreciative audience in the High School auditorium Tues day night, when Major Elihu Church, transportation engineer o£ the Port of New York Authority appeared as the"Squarer" for the failure of the commission to msikc good with a speaker on February 9, when over two hundred people were assembled and "Hamlet” failed to appear. Miss Gratae Hpbor. the chairman ' of tile program committee, and the ] president. Mrs. E. II. Boynton, were j determined to give the public a square deal. In securing a speaker like Major Church they were indeed most fortunate for those fortunate enough to be present on Tuesday night realized that he was a speak er of the first rank and one accus temed to speaking to large' audl- j ences. The weather conditions were not such as to induce many to ven ture out, but the pictures were good ! and the moving picture machine in the hands of Mr. von Bremen, [ was most satisfactory. Major Church told in a most graphic manner of the proposed de velopment of the metropolitan dis trict, which embraces a district with the Statue of Liberty us tlio centre, with a radius of twenty-five miles. It is this district In which the Port of New York Authority proposes the various improvement* designed to eliminate congestion and reduce the overhead charges on tho various commodities ot every day life. It was the concensus of opinion that circumstances might be such that Major Church might again lec-, turn to the residents of Woodbridge as ho certainly created a splendid impression. In spite of the Incle ment weather residents of Sewaren, Avenel and Iselln were among those in the audience. The president made several an nouncements. The tea to be given at her home on Tuesday. March 14. by the departments of art and ed ucation, guest night en March 16 and the club annual election on March 23. Mrs. A. F. Randolph, chairman ot the election committee, read tile names of the candidates by whom the nominations for the following ufUcers had been accepted: For president, Mrs. J. H. T. Martin. Jr.: for second vice president, Mrs. H. W. von Bremen: for corresponding sec retary, Miss >Vnna Duntgan. The chairman of the legislative commit gasaasgt I , tec reported upon the various bills which the club had endorsed includ ing the Port ot New York Author ity. the ice cream bill. Anti-Frater nity bill, condensed milk and "No Night Work for Women.” and sev eral educational bills. Mention was also made of the capable and im pressive manner in which Mrs. L. Cl.
