(VP) The International law committee of the Pan-American conference has taken stand for the outlawing of intervention among American nations.

Prompt action on the liquor licensing situation in Bolmar was foreseen with the action of the boro commission yesterday in ordering Joseph Silverstein, boro solicitor, to prepare a resolution for the regulation and licensing of liquor stores and dealers for action at next Tuesday's meeting. Mayor Joseph Mayer said that it was his idea to keep close check on the places which would be licensed and only to allow- ft few to open. The resolution will be drawn up and the matter of fees and hours will be decided upon at next week's meeting of the commission. Thomas Joeck, commissioner of streets and public property, told the board that there was a good chance to get extra funds from the CWA and put about 15 more men to work. He pointed out that it will be necessary to hire 5 or 8 more trucks to help with the work but that this action, costing the boro about $1,500 will get an -extra $6,000 from the government.

This money would be used for further repairs -of the streets and gutters in the boro. The matter was left to Commissioner Joeck to work out as he saw fit and to try and get the additional grant. Bills amounting to $12,000 were read and ordered paid and the board adjourned. Jury Fixing Trial Summations Begin Weinberger Allotted longest Time For Simon Plea. PATERSON, Tc20.

Just what procedure will be adopted In making the selections Is not known, but It is likely that the committee will be guided to some extent by the advice of Commissioner Kelly. Committee members arc of the opinion that the entire staff of officers, as well as directors, should be local men, and if men of the desired type and ability are found available, this idea likely will prevail.

In making the selection of officers, however, directors will be governed by the attitude not only of the state banking department but by officials of the Federal Reserve system as well, for the Seacoast will start operations as a member of federal corporation. Cancellation of the stock of shareholders in the old bank and the working out of a plan for issuing stock certificates to the owners of the reopened institution are other pre-opening details that must be completed before the bank can again resume operations. Depositors who persist in refusing to sign up for tho reopening plan will be forced to go along with those who have signed, once the required 75 percent ha.s been secured, according to the law enacted by the legislature last June.

If this is done, he said, the city will have to pay gal-lonagc rates to the private concern for the disposal of sewerage (running thru the municipal system.

Basing his claim on "concrete estimates." Viracola said the cost of sewage disposal in this matter would eat up whatever revenue would be derived from municipal sewer assessments. "I would not be at all surprised if there was a conspiracy on the part of the city to later buy in the private concern which would ultimately place us in another $1,000,000 of debt which would give us an antiquated sewer system in the bargain." Viracola also flayed the board for its "inactivity" to halt pollution of the Shrewsbury river. Zartman, who Is now In Ohio where a relative Is reported near death, advocated a change In government in an address last week before the Uniformed Firemen's association of this city at their annual banquet. The board's answer was, however, that the type ot government meant little if those operating It were not sincere. JESSE LIVERMORE (Continued from Page One) ler Informed callers that Mrs.

I Hook and Ladder Company 1 To Be Continued May Insure Company. MATAWAN, Dec. 20 The Matawan Hook and Ladder company 1 has been given a new lease on life and will not be disbanded inspite of rumblings to the contrary. Decision to continue the truck company under its present status was reached at a meeting attended by Mayor Edward W. Currie, members of the boro council and firemen in Midway Hose company's house Monday night.

All companies in the boro were represented; the truck company by its four active members, who are also on the exemption list. John DuBols, one of the drivers ot the truck, appeared rs spokesman for the company. He stressed the fact that whenever the fire alarm sounds some one goes to the truck house and is ready to take the apparatus out. He said that when the alarms are for grass, automobile fire or fires out of the boro the truck does not go out, thus Saving the boro the cost of gasoline, oil and repairs. In cases of fires where the truck's ladders are needed it is always on the Job, he said.

DuBois said that some days ago a report was spread that the battery on the truck was dead. He said he went to the truck house and started the without difficulty. He contended that firemen from other companies who had occasion to try to start the truck and failed did not know how to operate it. The truck company purchased the apparatus themselves, DuBois pointed out, and turned it over to the boro. He also contended that three-fourths of all the taxes paid in the boro are paid by truck company members and to abandon the company would be a "slap in the face" to these men, Members Procure Subscriptions DuBois also pointed out that the members of the truck company not only purchased their own apparatus, but contributed large sums to other companies when they were securing contributions for their fire fighting machines.

He was of the opinion that it the fire alarms were sent in properly they would be answered more promptly. If the company retained Its present status It would be satisfactory to the members If it was not included under the compensation insurance plan designed for the more active boro companies, he said. It was with this understanding that the truck company will continue its existence, altho efforts will be made to secure more active firemen for the company. Albert B. Smith said that some of the truck company members will never receive any compensation insurance from the State Exempt association as records of the company cannot be located.

The department was Informed by Mayor Currie that the boro will provide for insurance In the 1934 budget. It was decided that the Freneau company will remain as an Independent company and not receive any compensation from the boro. It was shown that Matawan has more fire companies than any other town in this immediate vicinity. The question of putting the fire alarm button In the chief's residence Instead of the home of chief of police as at present will be decided at a meeting of the two chiefs and the fire commissioners after the first of the year. Needs of the fire companies were discussed at length and a list of these taken by the mayor so that the cost may be included in the 1934 budget.

President Elwood Van Brackle offered a vote of thanks to Mayor Currie as it was the first time representatives of the boro council had called upon the companies to ascertain from them the needs of the department.
