After the bad automobile smash-up of a week ago the need for a warning light at this corner was more manifest than ever. On last Tuesday the street light was replaced by a red bulb, which has caused) a real darkness on this corner at night The small red bulb is scarcely visible and It is stated that there will be a greater chance of accident now than before. Citizen3 of the borough are trying to ascertain from the common council if it will not install such a light but a statement made recently by one of the coun-cilmen was to the effect that in- I asmuch as both these roads were 1 county roads the county should in- I stall the light and provide for Its maintainence.

Regardless of who provides the light a great danger now exists to pedestrians and motorists who use this corner and some immediate steps should be taken for the elimination of the danger. Ward-StemmingNuptials The marriage of Miss Eleanor Stemming of Terrill road, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. E.

South Bound Brook Escape Injury South Bound Erook, Sept 4 South Bound Brookers seem to have some kind of a charm especially on the route to Freehold or back. The case of Mrs. J. R. Pa-tram of Somerville, who with a party of South Bound Brook people were en route to Governor's Day at Sea Girt proves that.

Mrs. Patram has been released from the Freehold Hospital, still under a doctor's care but much Improved. Herman Parquette is still at the hospital but is improving. On Sunday night Norman Lawler took Officer Augustus Logreen for a ride after hours of duty in his new car. They went to Freehold, the officer driving.

He decided on the way back, however, that he was too sleepy to continue and so Lawler took the wheel and the officer took a nap. He was awakened some place between Matawan and Old Bridge' to find himself under the car wedged between a tree and a telegraph pole. The car had lost its way and went straight Instead of rounding the sharpest curve on the way to Asbury Park from New Brunswick. Neither was badly hurt but both were shaken up. Destroy Outbuildings The outbuildings on the Andrew KL Hageman farm, near Uniondale, were burned to the ground by fire of unknown origin on Sunday afternoon.

There was nothing in any one of the buildings and though they were in excellent condition were not used. Syrians occupy the place and had visitors from New York over the week end, and it is thought that some one might have been smoking in the barn. The South Bound Brook fire fighters answered the call. In the same night the rear of the Jenkins' restaurant between the canal and river, caught fire from a pot of grease burning on the stove and was extinguished by Officers Herman and Logreen, although the fire fighters answered the call. This place is the old Randolph bottling place and Is occupied by Negroes.
