'ASBURY PARK, EVENING PRESS, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1929. What the People Say WE AGREE WITH YOU EDITOR PRESS: In the countryside Asbury Park there are many delightfully alluring roads leading, it straight thru Mother Nature's heart. On both sides of these highways, there stretches for many miles a shady woods. Those who seek the seclusion of this woods, in the different seasons, surely come to love her. What 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 forest where there are scattered, against a background of graceful ferns, stately pines, 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 fragile lady slippers 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 teaberries 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, gleaming thru the leafless underbrush, there are bright red berries and big holly 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 LAKEWOOD HAS 4 MINOR ACCIDENTS Taxi Overturned But Occupants Escape- Carriage Struck By Car.

LAKEWOOD, March driving east at the intersection of Madison avenue and Lake drive, on Sunday, Horace G.

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 diffculties must be brought before the board of adjustment, which Mayor Selby appointed last night. There are five members en the board and they will serve as follows, John C. Conover, chairman, William Welshausen, terms expire, Jan. 1, 1932; C. T.

Coll, Milan Ross, (subject to his acceptance) terms expire, Jan. 1, 1931 and George B. Cade, Jan. 1, 1930. Future members of this board will be appointed to serve for three years.

This zoning ordinance does not apply to buildings erected previous to the time it was passed, only in the event of a fire and over 50 percent of the building is destroyed. The ordinance divides the boro into sections as follows: Section One, west of the railroad and south of Corlies avenue for apartments; Section One west of the railroad and north of Corlies avenue for private one family dweilings; Section Two, the west side of Main street, corner lots on the east to Elberon avenue then to include the property of the Utilities and boro, for business and the manufacture of electricity; Section Three, the Cochrane property, from Spier to Corlies avenue for apartments or one family dwellings; Section Four, Hume street to the middie property line on both sides to Page avenue for two family dwellings; Section Five, all east of the corner lots on Main street to Page avenue from the Deal line to the middle property line between Elberon avenue and Hume street, one family dwellings on fifty foot lots to cost at least Section Six, the entire section between Page and Norwood avenue for one family dwellings on fifty foot lots to cost Section Seven, east of Norwood avenue from the Deal line to the middle property line between Spier and Corlies avenue for one family homes to cost 000; Section Eight, east of Norwood avenue from the middle property line between Spier and Corlies avenues to the Loch. Arbour line $20,000 one family dwellings on 75 foot lots; Section Nine. south of Allen avenue and east of a line drawn south of Ocean place to the boro line for apartments. Selby and the commissioners expressed pleasure with the ordinance which they have been working on since last September.

A building code is being prepared by John Bennett building inspector for this city. An ordinance for the paving of Corlies avenue east, of Main street to the beach passed the first reading. This will have a three-inch slag base end finished with the hot penetration method. Mayor Selby feels that the boro is not quite ready for a permanent ing for its streets so this temporary paving is being put in. Permanent ing would cost about $35,000 while this will cost around one seventh that amount.

This paving will last about seven years and at the end of that time can be torn SEA GIRT VOTES FOR DOG CATCHER (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 sald 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." Pheasant 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 at large, when Mr. Stokes interrupted the state law regarding A dogs running 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 Quizes 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- "TOUGHEST" PRISONER IN DALLAS "Too tough" to be tried, is charged with murdering a street car battled officers for 30 minutes in the brought into the courtroom shackled a commotion that it was impossible to Hunt, as he snarled at the judge.

LONG BRANCH BRIDGE CLUB PLAYERS MEET LONG BRANCH, March Caroline Bell was hostess to the Monday Evening Bridge club at the Garfield-Grant hotel last night.

Hill's home on Union avenue. plain about dogs and the damage they do, we should tell them we have nothing to do with it." He cited cases where property had been destroyed by running dogs. "Those are only trivial matters," said Mr. Stokes. Everett Hyde asked the mayor if he had "to have dogs running all over my property?" Mayor Durand said: "It's easy to see the viewpoint of these dog owners, but they don't consider the complaints we have had the last eight years." Hyde added that his children are afraid to go out on their own lawn because of other people's dogs.

To this Mr. Stokes told him: "You should get a dog, then." "But I don't want a dog," asserted Hyde. Stokes informed the officials that, according to the old English law, a dog was entitled to a first bite, to which the mayor retorted: "I can't agree with the law which says a dog is entitled to one bite. You say the ordinance is alright as long as we don't enforce it." "Enforce it only when necessary," said Stokes. "I can't see the idea of waiting till dogs.

do damage before enforcing the ordinance," said Mayor Durand. "That is against the duties of council -we are here to regulate the boro to the best interests of the people." This discussion came to a sudden ending when, after two or three had declared those dogs which had caused all the trouble were stray ones without owners, Councilman Newman offered a motion that the police committee be empowered to employ A dog catcher to pick up all stray dogs." Councilman Irwin seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried. Mayor Durand said the dog catcher would not start work until a new supply of licenses had I been secured so that owners might 11- cense their dogs.

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 suroundings. All that is necessary to make it an attractive ornament is a few coats of colorful paint, and I think it would be far cheaper to have it redecorated than the expense incurred by its removal. At a very small cost, I 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. COUNCIL TOLD OF ROAD CONDITIONS Freehold Officials Vote to Make Street Improvements This Year. FREEHOLD, March complaints regarding the bad condition of streets in outlying sections of the born were received by the mayor and council here last night.

"Ours is a child centered school and all activities are designed to make the work appealing to the youngsters. We have several kinds of activity, our motion pictures for one.

POLICE OFFICIALS STILL SILENT ON COP'S REMOVAL Counsel Says Popularity of Matawan Officer Caused Dismissal--Hints Politics.

MATAWAN, March Currie, counsel for Officer Leroy Sproul, who was dismissed from the local police for reasons that officials of the boro will not divulge, today, in a statement, hinted that Sproul's dismissal came because he was being spoken of 9.5 a successor to Chief Edwin Sloat and this caused "a brainstorm to arise which destroyed the good judgment of a certain member of the police committee whose resistance had already been weakened by his grooming of a friend for the posttion." The manner in which the officer was dismissed is being described as despicable, according to Currie. He declared that unless the officials restore the officer to his position legal action will be taken, claiming that Sproul 1s protected by law to "prevent such highhanded treatment by the committee."
