The very satisfactory exhibit of the

psstpent, shows how great the improve
ment that has been wrought IN ghclt
time in one OF the branches OF our Lnu-
nicipal government by simply applying
tbs common sense rule of taking tine dc.
partment ont OF politics and having 1t
managed just as private business Ia
managed. Notwithstanding extraordi-
nary outlays made necessary by the addi-
ton of the new water power plant and
extension, the department has promptly
met all Its obligations, financial and
otherwise, and has come cut ut the close
of the year with surplus Of eli, 6i4, ~.
Under correct, careful business manager
ment, divorce from politics, the reve-
nues of the department have steadily
increased, while the expenditures
have BISON regulated with q
prudence of which the excellent showing
OF this annual balance sheet is the best

NEWARK BUSINESS EN-
TERPRISE.
From the Neaearh Jouanal.

In noticing the reported remark of
a Newark storekeeper that Elizabeth
buyers spent $40, 900 in Newark last
year for purchases, the Elizabeth
Herald asserts that there are people
in Elizabeth who save from $500 to
$400 annually by marketing in New
ark. The Herald attributes the dis
advantage of Elizabeth to exorbitant
rents and the high prices at which
land is held for commercial purposes.
Now we venture to say that rents
in Elizabeth do not compare with
those in Newark. Business places on
Broad and Market streets command
much higher rates than places SINH
larly located on the thoroughfares of
Elizabeth. An enterprising business
man isn't much concerned about his
rent anyway. /.
1t is perfectly easy TO understand
why marketing in Newark is cheaper
than in Elizabeth. We have Centre
market to fix and regulate the prices
for the contents of the family market
basket. Dealers throughout the city
are compelled to conform their prices
to the Centre market standard, which
is fixed by free competition. II Centre
market was owned and conducted by
a private corporation Elizabeth house
keepers would buy at home, forprices
in Newark would beas high as private
greed could make them.
1t is also not very difficult to under
stand why Elizabeth buyers shop in
4 Newark. Our storekeepePs do two
things to attract trade. They are as a

Children in Persia.

In Persia boys and girls never play
together. Even at home the inferior
iry of the girls is insisted on. The
little girls have to invite playmates OF
their own; but their games are never
lively ones. They generally prefer to
sit by themselves under the shade of
mulberry or pomegranate trees in the
garden, which usually is laid out in
the court yard surrounded on all sides
by houses or high walls, and listen to
fairy tales, which their mothers and
nurses can tell very Interestingly in
deed. While there is very l~ittleocoin-
partnership or love between brothers
and sisters, there is no quarreling and
n o fighting either between them; and
the boys, while thinking themselves
above the girls, show them many little
kindnesses.-Once q Week.

M WH - .a.s A
Director Bruggemann's Suggestions.
Director Bruggemann's recon-
mendations to the Board OF Free
holders cover several matters of great
Importance. In the main they seem
to be sound, some of them are beyond
dispute, and 1t is to be hoped that
most of them will be adopted by the
Board.
A particularly good suggestion APP
pears to be this, that all goods be de-
livered to the store keeper, the idea,
we presume, being that he should
distribute supplies on order to the
Warden or keepers of the several in
situations. 1t is quite a surprise to us,
and doubtless will be to the public to
learn that such a recommendation is
necessary. Less than a year ago. just
after the trial of the members of the
old Board, an entire reform of the
system of managing the Snake Hill
colony was inaugurated. 1t vas first
outlined in THE JERSEY Cry NEWS
in a series of letters, signed Tax
payer which were written by a
gentleman possessing ''inside informa-
tom ON county affairs. 1t was, shortly
after, adopted by the old Board,
and the last time the matter
came to public notice was working
well. The vital principle of this sys-
TEN was that supplies should be fur
nished on contract to the s~torekeeper,
and by him distributed on requisition
to the keepers or warden as needed.
1t was understood that this plan ad-
mitted of a perfect system of book
keeping and of checks and safeguards
to secure the economical consumption
OF material.
Now when, may we ask, was this
system abolished, and why? Or, has
it been abolished2 If not, what fur
ther change does Mr.. Bruggemann's
proposal contemplate?
Several other proposals, which he
makes, will meet with general APP
prevail. The reduction of the pay
roll is an admirable one. There seems
to be good practical sense in the sug-
gestion that q new lunatic asylum be
built. Then the proposal to compel
the Erie and West Shore railways to
erect gates at the County Road cross
ing is good.
Altogether Mr.. Bruggemann's COM
munication is a valuable one, and de-
serves the attention both of the Free
holders and the public.
Nor only the convenience but the
comfort of the public are matter o.
consideration by the g Il" road
company. 1t is now Studying how te
make its machinery noiseless, SO thai
the abutting property owners MA,
