Following the regular prayer service at the Methodist Church this evening, a meeting will be held to make final preparations for the annual harvest home of the Methodist Church to be held in Milltown Park on Friday evening of this week. Supper will be served between the hours of five and nine p.m., at the rate of 45 cents a plate. Music will be furnished by the Michelin Band.
Baby Myron Fouratt, who has been seriously ill, is convalescing.
Traffic Blocked.
The large concrete mixer which is to be used by Messrs. Schneider, Stelle & Company in the new work in the borough was the cause of delaying the trolley cars yesterday, owing to the fact that it became stuck in the soft ground over the water pipes near the Michelin factory.
School street was blocked yesterday by the earth that has been piled out by the contractors for the water system, the Suburban Construction Company, of New York, and as two families, the Lowne’s and Heipel’s, were moving from their Main street residences to School street, there were some great arguments about the borough last night as to whether the contractors had a right to block the highway or not. At any rate, progress is being made.
Hank Kuhlthau Assists Automobilist.
About five o’clock Saturday evening, as Oscar Lindstrom, of this place, was bound for New Brunswick in his automobile, a trolley car approached him as he neared the Vanderbilt property, in North Milltown, and with a view of evading the mud he turned to the right track, and in so doing, the front wheels of his machine went into the ditch, which is rather deep at this point, and it was not until Henry Kuhlthau, driver of Kuhlthau Brothers’ coal wagon, hitched up to the machine, that the automobilist was able to get out of the distressing position.
Laundry Opens To-day.
The new laundry established in the Kuhlthau building, on South Main street, was opened by William Wong, a Chinaman, hailing from South River, to-day.
State Council Meeting Sept. 23.
A committee has been appointed by Rescue Council, No. 4, O.U.A.M., of Milltown, to work in conjunction with a committee of Relief Council No. 40, of New Brunswick, to make arrangements for the annual State Council session of the O.U.A.M., which is to be held in Elks Hall, New Brunswick, on Sept. 23. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the annual session this year locally, from the fact that a Milltown man, Howard S. DeHart, is in line to head the O.U.A.M. as State Councilor. Mr. DeHart was elected State Vice Councilor at Moorestown about a year ago, and has been faithful in the discharge of his duties, and there is no doubt but that he will be elevated to the highest honor this election.
