Hopping Avenue Residents to
Appear Before Local Board
Tomorrow
TOTTENVIELE. June 5:—The
construction of a sewer In Hopping
avenue, which was laid over at the
April meeting of the local board of
public improvement, is on the cal
endar for the third hearing at the
meeting of the board to be held gt
Borough Hall tomorrow night. Op
position to building of the sewer
has developed at each of the two
hearings held and Borough Presi
dent Matthew J. Cahill deemed It
*best to put the matter over until a
later date in view of the fact that
residents of both sides of the ave
nue cannot come to an understand
ing with regard to building the sew
er on that thoroughfare.
Thoso residents of the westerly
aide of the avenue who are opposing
the building of the sewer all have
a private sewer draining to the
water while those on the easterly
aide of the avenue who want the
sewer built are obliged to resort to
cesspools because they cannot get
an outlet to the river and are de
manding that the borough board
take action in the matter for their
relief. It is expected that a good
representation of property owners
both for and against the proposition
will he Rt the hearing. There are
six other petitions to be taken up
by the Doard, one being for the city
to acquire land for Havine Park.
The others are for sewers and side
walks In the north side of the is
land.
At the special meeting of the
board Wednesday night the petition
to construct a sewer in the first
ward was passed and to open up
Ebbltts street. New Brighton, was
denied.

Closing of South Amboy Le
gion Jubilee is Postponed
for Week
SOt'TH AMBOY. June 5:—Wi-h.
everything in readiness for the
grand closing of the American
Legion Saturday, the weather man
turned traitor and the only activity
at the shore front on the scheduled
night was much scurring to avoid
the cloudbursts.
The committee in charge of the
afTair have decided that, if th
weather harmonizes with the tren I
of activities, the closing will be hcM
on next Saturday, or if stormy the
first clear night afterwards.
The affair thus far has been r.
complete success, and the boys of
the club are jubilant over the re
sults. With another night yet to
complete the sale of much of their
wares, the sum will have exceeded
their expectations by a good mar
gin.
Evsr since the acquiring of the
present site by the Legionaires. :t
has been the ambition of the mem
bers to add considerably to thei:
.present ground, and since the an
nouncement that • the jubilee has
been the success it was, it looks as
though the boys will annex more
ground.
Just as soon as the committee on
the jabilee reports and the affair
drifts into the column of "What the
Luke A. Lovely Post of South Am
boy Has Done." the boys will, it ts
undersfood, hold several get togeth
er meetings where more activities
will be considered for the winter
months. The boys are planning to
hold a shore dinner in the near
future where they will have enter
tainment for the benefit of the
members themselves.
Alio umaii a nuAiuai j ui mu
post have realized a neat sum from
the sale of poppies throughout the
city. The poppies were all made by
the members of the auxiliary and
they feel proud of their achieve
ments in this line. The auxiliary
has decorated the Memorial foun
tain at the grounds adjoining the
Central railroad station with ever
greens placed in the receptacle
above the fountain. The auxiliary
will hold a meeting at the rooms of
the club tonight.
Among the features that will
probably keep life at the shore front
during the rest of the summer even
ings will be card parties on the
lawn adjoining the headquarters.
There is a feeling prevalent that
darcing on the floor recently erect
ed about the grounds would meet
with the approval of the lovers of
the terpsichorean art. It is under
stood that the entertainment com
mittee will consider such a proposi
tion in the near future.
The jubilee committee will, with
in a short time, forward to those
who helped in the arrangements or
in any way aided the boys in thif.r
enterprise a letter thanking them
for whatever they have done during
the days of the jubilee.
The post will hold its regular
meeting Thursday night at 8 o'clock
when business of interest null be
discussed. Post Commander John
A. Conlogue is anxious that every
ex-service man in the city join the
ranks of the post and present them
selves at the weekly meetings that
Luke A. Lovely Post may brag that
they have a one hundred per cent
membership of South Amboy in
their ranks.

Singers of St. George’s
Church of Newburgh, N. Y.,
to Sing at St. Peter’s
•
A musical event of more than un
usual Interest is scheduled to take
place in St. Peter's church, Friday
night. June 9, at 8 o’clock, when the
choir of St. George's church, New
burgh, N. Y„ will be present and
sing Palestrina’s wonderful "Missa
Brevis." This is a work of rare
beauty and extreme difficulty, and
will be song by the visiting choir
unaccompanied throughout.
St. George's choir is considered by
those competent to Judge, the finest
Episcopal choir between Yonkers
and Albany. St. George's church it
self. is the most influential parish in
the Diocese of New York, outside
the metropolitan district, and its
choir is well known throughout the
diocese.
President Bell of Stephen's
College says "The choir of St.
George's church is in my opinion the
finest in the Hudson Valley. I know
of only one parish outside of New
York, in the Hudson Valley, which
has a choir to equal it—St. Peter's.
Albany.
Dr. A. S. Cooper, organist and
choirmaster of St. Alban's Cathe
dral. England, says: "On our way
to Albany we stopped at Newburgh
and rested. It being Sunday, we at
tended services at St. George’s
church and I was amazed to find a
highly trained choir. The tone of
the boys was the equal of anything
I have heard in America. The choir
master, a young man named Will
iams. a pupil by the way of my old
friend Nobel, maintained a service
of high type. It was a refreshing
experience.”
Robert Williams, the choirmaster
of St. George's church is well known
in Perth Amboy. He is the son ofi
Mrs. Mary R. Williams, of High
street, and was born in this city. He
was a member of St. Peter's parish
during his boyhood, and for a short
time during his student days, was
organist of the church. He has been
organist and choirmaster of the
wealthy and historic St. George’s
church since March, 1918, and has
built up a choir during the four
years, of his incumbency which has
presented many major choral works.
His friends here will doubtless wel
come thl.. opportunity of hearing his
choir and meeting him again.
Maxwell MacMichael, organist of
St. Peter’s church will play two or
gan selections. The choir is being
brought to this city by the Young
Men's Club of the parish from whom
tickets may be procured. While
there are some reserved seats, the
admission is free and the public is
cordially invited. A description of
the “Missa Brevis" will be an
anounced later.

I I
fHHE Buddhists in Japan place their dead in a square wooden coffin. After
I the priests have lighted a candle for each year the deceased had lived. j
* the coffin is saturated with spirits of wine and burned to a crisp. The i
ashes are then buried. Cvmbals clash and incense burns, but nevertheless
their burial is more civilized than some modern American funerals. For tne I | gjj
Japanese are careful to burn the body before they bury it in a wooden con
„ tainer! They do not, as we too often do, spend money for luxurious fittings
onlv to put them in a cistern grave beneath a soggy, mouldy mound. But even j
i the Japanese don't have the Norwalk Vault. When you have seen a Norwalk
| Vault sealed bv hand about the casket into one solid mass of steel reinforwd
moulded masonry, you will not need your Undertaker to tell that nowhere in
the whole world is there a more intelligent form of burial.

Act to Get Flowage Rights and
Donations to Carry on
the Work
MATAWAN. June 5.—Solicitors
of the Matawan Lake Committee
Inc., are busy this week obtaining the
flowage rights to the lands on the
east side of the borough which will
be flooded by the building of a dam
at the bridge over Main street, near
the New York & Long Branch rail
road station. Although this right
was obtained sometime ago it was
thought advisable to have the prop
erty owners again sign up before
further negotiations for the building
of the dam ar« entered into.
In giving the Lake Committee the
flowage rights to the lands the prop
erty owners do not part with the
ownership thereof, but allow the
lands to be flooded by water. The so
licitors. not only request the prop
erty owners to sign up for the flow'- j
age right, but also seek to have
them make a donation towards the j
cost of constructing the dam.
Among those who have already
signed are: James L. Terhune. M ll
liam L. Van Brunt. Henry S. Ter
hune. Holgar A. Eigard. John Ter
hune. A. P. Munning & Company.
Charles E. Close, Dr Nathan Ervin
and William H Tuthill The lake
Committee hope* to obtain the flow
age right* on all property along the
propo*ed lake thi* week
