TOWER. Freehold, N. J. ROMEO HAS A WORD EDITOR, THE PRESS: It was with a source of regret that I read in a recent Issue of The Press the intentions of the commissioners to do away with the Sunset lake bridge, at Emory street. From what I glean of the plan it is the belief of the city fathers the lake will be beautified by the bridge's removal.

I take the opposite view. The bridge even as it now stands, naked in spots for the want of paint gives a picturesque tint to the lake and its suroundlngs. All that is necessary to make it aft attractive ornament is ajtoserve for three years. This zoning few coats of colorful, paint, and I -tliluk ordinance does not apply to buildings "Too tough" to be tried, is Dewey Hunt, late of Tennessee, charged with murdering a street car conductor in Dallas, Tex.

Further opposition to the new zoning ordinance of the boro of Allenhurst failed to materialize at the commissioners meeting last night, and the ordinance passed Its final reading. Future difficulties must be brought before the board of adjustment, which Mayor Selby appointed last night. There are five members ra the board and they will serve as follows, John C.

Con-over, chairman, William Welshausen, terms expire, Jan. 1, 1932; C. T. Coll, Milan Ross, (subject to his acceptance) terms expire, Jan. 1, 1931 and George Cade, Jan.

Mayor Selby and the commissioners expressed pleasure with the ordlnanee- whlch they have been working on since last September. A building code is being prepared by John Bennett building Inspector for tills city. An ordinance for the paving of Corlles avenue east, of Main street -to the beach passed tha first reading. This will have a three-Inch slag bass end finished with the hot penetration method. Mayor Selby feels that the boro Is not quite ready for a permanent pav In? for its streets so this temporary paving is being put In.

Permanent -lng would cost about $35,000 while this will cost around one seventh that amount This paving will last about seven years nd at the end of that tlnv can be torn up SEA GIRT VOTES (Continued from page one) and William Brash were present Defends Dogs Mr. Stokes was the principal speaker against the enforcement to the letter of the dog law. He opened his arguments by reading from an encyclopedia and excerpts from other volumes matter which told what a dog is, covering everything from its habits to its teeth. He expressed the opinion that the ordinance should be enforced only In an emergency, when a dog' became vicious and not whenever one appeared on the sidewalk in front of Its home or rambled to an adjacent property. "The law should be applied with common sense," asserted Mr.

Stokes. "I came to Sea Girt to enjoy the advantages of living in the country and Cultivating my dogs. I sought to allow my dogs liberty and now I find myself face to face with a situation that make It a physical Impossibility to break the law. And I have resentment against those who are enforcing the laws. Dogs are not canaries; they cannot be kept In cages.

They are not tortoises; they run very fast. And Sea Girt Is not New York. It has been said that it is cruel to keep a dog in a New York apartment. But it is no less cruel than keeping a dog in Sea Girt under such arduous restrictions." Continuing, Mr. Stokes declared: "We will not let this matter rest.

We will continue to agitate against application of the ordinance and we may give Sea Girt a bad name by making it appear as tho there were some vicious animals here." Mayor Durand was the first of the officials to speak. "I have been associated with council since 1921," he said, "and have heard many complaints against dogs. But this is the first time I have heard anyone speak in defense of dogs." Ford Babcock, another dog owner, said he felt the same as Mr. Stokes about the matter. He ended his statement by declaring that "If a man does not like a dog, he is not to be trusted." Theasant Incident Cited Mayor Durand cited an Instance where a dog had been -seen with a pheasant In its mouth.

The pheasant was one of a flock which has been fed and protected for years by 'the officials, Dr. Brash, one of the officials and also one of the group who was arraigned on a charge of allowing his dog to run at large asked "Why everybody had to be upset because one pheasant has been killed. You who are hunters will go out in gunning season and kill a dozen pheasants," he said. Mayor Durand stated he would read the state law regarding dogs running at large, when -Mr. Stokes interrupted by saying: "I'll read the- Volstead amendment." The mayor read the state law, which makes a person liable to a fine of $20 every time his or her dog is found running at large in field or woods except during the gunning season.

Mayor Qulies Protestant "Is It your opinion, Mr. Stokes," said the mayor, "that we should have the ordinance but not enforce It. Do you think that when all these people com- FOR DOG CATCHER WE AGREE WITH YOU EDITOR PRESS: In the countryside around Asoury Park there are many delightfully alluring roads leading, it seems, straight thru Mother Nature's heart. On both sides of these highways, there stretches lor many miles a shady woods. Those who seek the seclusion of this woods, in the different seasons, surely come to love her, could be more perfect than a balmy spring day spent among the budding trees where the delicate anenomes and rich swamp violets are generously intermingled and where the.fragrance of the trailing arbutus pervades the air? And what could bring more pleasure than a sunshiny summer day spent among the beauties of the fores where there, are scattered, against a back ground of graceful ferns, stately and tall swamp grasses, pure white magnolias and great clumps of laurel whose beautiful blossoms range from white to a vivid pink that is almost red and where frazils ladv sliDDers Peek out from behind their cool green leaves? In the autumn, too, when the leaves flaunt their gay gowns of scarlet and gold, when the persimmons are touched by frost, and the teaberrles are red, the woodland Is delightful.

Even in the winter, she holds her own. There is something impressively grand about the bare gray branches, here and there relieved by the green of the pines and cedars, against the heavy sky. And then, gleam-J ing thru the leafless underdbrush, there are bright red berries ana Dig nouy bushes radiating Christmas Joys. Before the new roads were built thru the countryside, all of these woodland beauties were withheld from the eyes of the city folks and were accessible only to a few nearby country hikers. But now these gifts of nature are brought within a few minutes ride of city dwellers and It Is possible for them, also, to enjoy the lovely flowers.

But, alas! Many people have a very odd way of enjoying them. They must break down the laurel bushes, strip bare the magnolia trees, uproot the arbutus, and mercilessly plunder the holly. Already, to one who has known these woods before the coming of the gay tourists, a sad change is perceptible. Soon, if care Is not exercised, no wild flowers will grace the roadside. Then how sad everyone will LAKEW00DHAS4 Taxi Overturned But Occupants Escape Carriage Struck By Car.

SEWING CLUB HAS It would be far cheaper to have lit redecorated than the expense Incurred by its removal. At a very small cost, believe, a couple of cozy appearing summer houses could be erected, say one at each end, or in the middle of the structure. I am firmly of the opinion that the removal of the bridge would be a big mistake.

Inspection shows that it is safe for foot traffic and as I said, all that Is necessary is the paint brush. The bridge in addition to providing a romancing spot for young couples on moonlight evenings also furnishes an Ideal spot for boys and girls to fish from during the 'summer season, and also a fine place for the duck and swan to utilize as an eating grounds or resting spot while they are doing their bit to make a happy world. I am confident there are many other residents who think as I do. If I am correct I hope they will make themselves known by protesting against the removal of the bridge. I am sure if the commissioners are given the impression that sentiment exists for the restoration of the bridge it will not be demolished and removed.

Speak up before it is too late. L. K. THROCKMORTON. Freehold OfficialsVote la Make Street Improvements This Year FREEHOLD, March 5.

Two complaints regarding the bad condition of streets in outlying sections of the boro were received by the mayor and council here last night. Alexander Sadowsky of Third street said the street in front of hlc home was nearly Impassable and Boro Engineer Schiverca, at the suggestion of Mayor Peter F. Runyon, that he would see if the condition could not be improvsd by application of cinders. William Blanchlnl, who lives on an extension of Institute which has never been accepted by the boro as a street, did not meet with as much encouragement. He was advised tha.

the street did not belong to the boro and therefore the' boro could not spend money on After further discussion, however, Mayor Runyon said that hs would see William N. Thompson, owner of the tract of land thru' which th; street was opened, and see if he wouid cooperate with the boro in applying cinders ani making the roadway passable for automobiles, at least. Boro Engineer. Schierea reported that residents of North Parker street and East Marcy street had voted favorably for having concrete curb and gutte improvements and that he would, therefore Include these two sections oi streets In the number that are to be improved this year.
