The Weights and Measur,
Ordinance.

The Board of Aldermen did well, on
Tuesday evening, in passing the Weights
and Measures Ordinance over the May
or's veto. The ordinance has everything
to recommend it. 1t is a move in the
direction of honesty and fair dealing.
The arguments against it are either
vicious or childish.
The burden imposed on business men
is so trifiing as to be altogether i~nsignii-
cant. The poorest s~torekeeper in Jersey
City is not SO poor as to miss from his
years profits the trihing fee exacted un-
der the ordinance. He ought to gain far
more han he loses, because the official
endorsement of his weights and measures
win be an inducement to people to buy
from him instead of going to New York,
where full measure n weight is en-
forced under very severe laws, very en-
ergetically applied.
IN his brief speech on the ordinance,
Alderman Calnon said all that was need
ed to convince impartial Judges of the
Justice and good purpose of the measure.
IN one word he exploded the no~nsensicaI
talk about our merchants being overbur-
dened. His remark about the general
exemption from personal taxes. which is
one of the crying abuses of Jersey City,
was a home thrust.
L-
Business men who are progressive and
energetic have no difficulty in living and
making money here. The competition of
the New York stores does not hurt them
The men who are always in trouble are
those who spend their time inventing
grievances and whining about them.

The Latest Water obstrucsionist.

Some Mr.. James Kelley has written to
the Mayor protesting against the new
water supply. We do not know who he
is and we do not care. We know what
he is He is his own enemy and that of
the city. He says
In order to pay for this water supply
this city will nave to issue bonds and the
property owners will have to foot the bill.
Certainly. A restaurant keeper must
buy food If he expects to get customers.
A hotel keeper must fit up his house with
beds. A liquor dealer must ave drinks.
II you don't save the accommodations,
you don't get the trade. If a city won't
supply water. it won't get population. II
it doesn't get population, il WON grow
rich.
This city is not going to prosper when
1t would fetch at auction.
This is narrow minded folly. The only
way to increase the taxable value Of prop
erty Is to invite population. II we could
double our numbers we would halve our
taxes.
The Passaic water Is good enough If
laws were made to enforce Its freedom
from pollution of sewers and Kept clean
and would cost no millions.
This Is, Of course. mere trash.
