Through its cooperation with operative builders, the Federal Housing Administration is using a practical way of creating a sound mortgage market and of improving housing standards, two of the objectives of the National Housing Act, according to Administrator Stewart McDonald. These two objectives are usually attained in the type of real-estate development directed by responsible operative builders, Mr. McDonald said.

"Stability of values and continuity of ownership are essential to mortgage soundness and are most often obtained in homogeneous neighborhoods improved with homes of good design and sound construction, Mr. McDonald said.

In order to obtain funds for further construction of the railroad between 3ound Brook and Somerville, the Elizabethport and New York Ferry Company agreed to loan the funds to the Elizabeth-town and Someryille Railroad and on Jan. 1, 1842, an engine was run to Somerville.

Sold Under Foreclosure In after seven years of operation, the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad was sold under foreclosure and the reorganized company which succeeded was the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad Company. The directors of this company included Cornelius Vanderbilt tThe Commodore), John Kean (father of former U. S. Senator Kean), and Benjamin Williamson (afterward chancellor). In 1S47 the Legislature granted a charter to the Somerville and Easton Railroad Company, authorizing it to construct and operate a connecting railroad from Somerville to the Delaware River opposite Easton.

Trains were run to Whitehouse Sept. 25, 184S, and the fare between Whitehouse and New York was fixed at 87 12 cents. In 1849 the Legislature authorized the Somerville and Easton Railroad Company to acquire the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad, the railroad thereafter to be known as the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey.

Such economies, if honestly passed on to the eventual buyer, give the home owner more for his dollar.

Dunellen A quarter of a century spent in the garb of a police officer will end tomorrow for Chief Patrick J. Tarpey.

Appointed a patrolman on Jan. 1, 1914, by former Mayor Ellis L. Latham, Chief Tarpey has served as chief since 1931 wh-ja he succeeded Owen Mohan, having been a captain since 1926. As Irish as his name Implies, Chief Tarpey was born in County Mayo, Ireland. He, came to Dunellen in 1905 and for a number of years was a foreman for the Central Railroad.

Two years previous to his ap pointment, the then strapping young railroad foreman had taken as his wife the former Miss Nora Cronin, an Irish lassie from County Kerry. He met her in Plainfield. Ceremony was performed in St. Mary's Church, there, by the late Rev. Bernard Bogan.

Residents of 333 First the Tarpeys have three children, Mrs. James Stephenson, Middlesex, and Joseph, age 20, and John, 22, both at home. Tells of Experiences Reflecting over years he has served the borough, Chief Tarpey, naturally, discussed crime and the never-ending struggle of the law to correct the evils of man. Admitting that Dunellen for a town of 6,000 inhabitants has its share of crime, Chief pointed out the majority of law violators arrested her are out of town residents. "Dunellen Is a 'law-abiding town," he said.

Chief Tarpey states he never used a club on a prisoner. "Fists several times," he mused, as he related accounts of goold old-fashioned "knock down and drag out" fist fights in which he has taken part.

It was necessary to cancel early games in the school's schedule because of the unfinished condition of the gym. Work has included taking installing new footings, new ceilings and superstructure so three new classrooms may be constructed above the gym. Girls' new gym has been roofed. Concrete has been poured for second floors of the east and west wings of the addition. Steel work has been practically completed for the superstructure.

Additional labor has been hired to push the brickwork while weather permitted. Fireproof construction has been used throughout the buildings.

notorious Strickland case, Dunel-len's most infamous crime and certainly Tarpey'8 most clever piece of detective work. Date was Feb. 3, 1925. A bandit had robbed a jewelry store Jn Bound Brook and in his flight had paused in the borough at Allen's Jewelry Store to have his loot appraised. Officer Sam Strict-land, notified by Allen that' a suspicious character was In the store, investigated and on finding the criminal's ill-gotten gains on his person, placed him under arrest.

Officer Wounded Suddenly, the bandit yanked a pistol from his coat pocket and drilled a hole through the officer's forehead, escaping as Strictland fell to the floor, badly wounded. Working on meague clues the then Capt. Tarpey by 4 p. m. of the following day arrested one Joseph Pape, in a Manville home.

Pape later confessed the crime. Strict-land died a year later indirectly as a result of the wound, and Pape served eight years in a Trenton cell. If a person celebrating a 25th anniversary could have any wish come true, that wish in the case of Patrick J. Tarpey would be for an enlarged police department in Dunellen. Chief unselfishly admitted he felt the present force of five men was Inadequate to handle the duties assigned to it.

Chief bemoaned the fact that his men "have each to work as much as 60 hours a week."
