Altho a representative of the New Jersey FiPlate Glass Insurance company of Newark declared that in his opinion the advertisement for bids on oceanfront boardwalk bonds inserted by local officials was not legal, his firm was the higher of two bidders. The representative held that because the advertisement announced that the value of the bonds was $33,000 and that the amount sought from the sale of them was $33,200, altho it did not state what the extra $200 was for. He said he believed there had been a typographical error or the entire advertisement was illegal. The Newark firm bid $33,0012,87 for the bonds, while the Manasquan National bank, only other bidder, agreed to pay par value with accured interest. On motion, the bids were referred to the boro solicitor for tabulation as to the figures as well as for an opinion as to the legality of the advertisement.

The offials directed clerk advertise for bids for the removal of tar trash and garbage for 1929. The bids will be received on the night of Dec. 11.

On motion of Councilman Edward R. Emmons, chairman of the light and police committees, the officials decided to have a light placed at Dewey and Euclid avenue. Councilman Thompson Mount, chairman of the street committee, announced that a pole was standing in the center of the street at the north end First avenue and also that poles were in the sidewalk line on the west side of Third avenue. The officials directed the clerk to notify the Jersey Central Power and Light company, owner of the poles, to remove them. A.

Potter, Long Branch attorney, representing R. S. Findlay of Red Bank, contractor, who constructed the boardwalk, notified the officials that suit would be started unless the boro paid Mr. Findlay the amount of a bill submitted for extra work done in connection with the boardwalk. The clerk was directed to request Mr.

Pitter to meet with council at its next meeting. The Manasquan National bank notifled council that hereafter, due to the high price of money, six percent interest would be charged for all municipal loans. To Gravel Streets Hearing was held on the ordinance providing for the grading and graveling of Lakewood road from South street to the westerly line of boro; Curtis place from Sea Girt avenue to Blakey avenue; Virginia avenue from the railroad to creek; First avenue from the Manasquan fishery to the state camp; and Second avenue from Brielle road to the state camp; and for placing concrete gutters Curtis avenue for a distance of 500 feet northwest from Union avenue. After second and third readings, the ordinance was adopted and resolution, introduced by Councilman Mount, was passed to provide for the receiving of bids for the work outlined in the ordinance with the exception of Virginia avenue. Bids will be received on Dec.

He snid the light interfered with radios in the vicinity and also that L. R. Wyekoff, deputy chief inspector of the state motor vehicle department had told him it was not legal.

After much discussion, most of which was adverse to the removal of the light, Emmons withdrew his motion and Mount his second. Then Councilman Walter Johnson offered a motion for the discontinuance of the light and the installation of a silent policeman at that point. This motion was carried, with Councilman Emmons voting in the negative. Emmons explained that his plan was to stop the light long enough to attach a condenser so as to eliminate the interference with radio sets. FALL BREAKS CHILD'S ARM WEST BELMAR, Nov.

According to the testimony of the Chamberlain woman, Comar had met her as she was entering her home and had hit her several times with the cue. She stated that she had formerly "kept company" with him but that she had broken off the relation because he had been drunk too often and because 1 he beaten his mother.

They also declared they were solicited by two girls, alleged to have been inmates at the house. The place was said to have been owned by Ben Sullivan. The negress denied the charges, declaring she came from Princeton to work for Sullivan and had no knowledge the place was being used for immoral or illegal purposes.

TROUBLES BEGAN WHEN STRAND WAS ERECTED TOMS RIVER, Nov. Palace theater at Lakewood was sold yesterday afternoon at public auction in the office of Sheriff Joseph Holman to Harry Shiffman of New York for $51,500 after spirited bidding had taken place between eight men. Special Deputy John Burdge conducted the sale. U. S.

Commissioner Harry Newman of Lakewood, who appeared as agent for a group of persons whose names he would not divulge, carried the bidding to $51,000 but retired when Shiffman added $500 to his offer. The theater was sold to satisfy claims of the Lakewood Trust company, which held mortgages against the property. The interest on the mortgages has been constantly in arrears since last May. The theater was the property of the Lakewood Amusement company. The new owner would not say what he expected to do with the property.

The sale of the propery marked the end of theater war which has existed at Lakewood since the building of the Strand theater a few years ago. At that time the Palace was the only theater in Lakewood of sufficient size and accommodations to be termed such, and it was the idea of the owners to provide entertainment of a higher type for the people of this community. Many New York productions were brought to Lakewood and for a time the enterprise did very well financially but later on it was found that two large theaters could not obtain support from the relatively small crowd of theatergoers in the vicinity, It is understood that the Lakewood Amusement company suffered a loss in the neighborhood of $20,000 during the past two years. 12 COUNTIANS AT GRANGE SESSIONS Monmouth Well Represented at National Convention In Nation's Capital.
