that out of total of $lS,S70,075 Nome

considered that these receipts are
from placer mines, with crude and in

be imagined what the receipts will be

He showed the proper regard for the

often appealed to him to support meas

off his coat and got the bill through.
He has a letter from Chief FRANKIE, of
Perth Amboy, thanking him for that

has held sacred every trust imposed
in him. He has won the admiration
and confidence of those most familiar
with the work OF the Legislature, in
GLIDING the Governor, State Treasurer,
Secretary of State and other State Of

Gus OF having Mr.. jackson returned as
Senator is in itself a high tribute to
his efficiency.
Mr.. Jackson should be elected Sena-

business experience and by special

He IS a New Brunswick man, born
and educated here, nearly 81 years Of

Where does the fondled New BrunS-
| wick baby come in?
But let us drop in on some of those
municipalities that are on our calling list.
Here is Perth Amboy, our next door
neighbor and a member of our family,
who thinks she ought to be the county
seat. She is gaining many laps on New
Brunswick. Last year it's foolish people
only allowed themselves to be taxed ut
a $2.40 rate, on a very much under-asscss-
ed valuation.
Our aristocratic first cousin Plainfield,
with an assessment about equal to our
own, was satisfied with a $3.50 tax rate.
We are not.
Why?
Because we want to be in the fashion
and are living beyond our means.
Three years ago, the last year of Mayor
Williamson's administration, the so-called
city appropriations for current expenses
only totaled s95, $50.
In 1902, when our up-to-date Mayor took
hold of the reins and began his first effort
to "fondle'' Us big babies. the budget
started up. like the thermometer in the
dog days. to 500, 100.
For the present year of grace the
"fonGling' has got to be considerably
warmer and more affectionate. Dur city
appropriation bill is SOB, COO.
Remember, these appropriations are
only tho regular Common Council budget.
They do not tax in the county expenses,
the school levics nor the interest and
principal payment of our bonds.
Since Viehmann smiled on US his pat
ronizing, up-to-datc smile of recognition.
our county expenses have gone up, our
interest and bond payments are Going up
and our educational expenses are soar
ing, Notwithstanding the big lift of the
State educational appropriation.
The Old Snoozer believes in improve
ments and doesn't believe in letting a
ship rot in the hulks Blu he also be-
lievcs in cutting his coat to his cloth, and
don't fancy strutting about like n boy in
new clothes, especially If they are too
large for him. When he sees, on n Sun
day afternoon. a brunette from Cream
Ridge in q long dress and general get-up
of Lady" George Gould, he feels like
starting up the Use de leading lady Oh
de town tune.
What the Old Snoozcr would like to
have explained is this:
In 1885, our city officials got $500. The
removing of ashes and keeping the
streets clean cost us $4.260. Our lighting
came to 1850. Our police got along well
enough with s7,039.
In 1896, the salaries footed up $500. The
street cleaning, $3.50. The lighting, $3.50.
The police. sS,912.
Now, with the advent of the new Mayor,
who has been tearfully and prayerrulY
considering ways and means of waking
up, our salaries come to s14, $50. Dur police
are to get i 1000. We have spent So. 4S9 for
the equipment of our up-to-date street
department and appropriate 1,cO0 to run
it. Our street lighting is to have 5000
to draw on. And we are having and are
to have street pavement assessments and
taxes galore.
1t is the opinion of the Old Snoozer
we have had at least the golden moan
between just too littleand just too much
in up-to-dateness, and that's-enough!
Yearly two decades ago there was a
