FRIDAY, NAY 20, 1904.

The aldermen have provided for the
salary of a roundsman, but the people
are wondering when one is TO be ap-
pointed, likewise the additional police
men which are so badly needed. The
Evening Nows has discussed this
matter. before, but it seems the Mayor
and aldermen have been unable to get
together on the matter. Tho citizens
who are demanding better protection
are asking how much longer this state
of affairs is to continue. That the
best interests of the city are being held
up there is no doubt and tho sooner
some pressure is brought to bear on
the city officials, the better. All seem

ID needed. Then why not get it? All

vancement of Perth Amboy. Their
actions should prove it.

Among the gratifying signs of an carly

the people to try her merits across the
bay.-Asbury Park Press.
There should have been more sites

The question of equal taxation, which
is agitating the State, particularly North

complex features as to puzzle even the in
telligent man who, without prejudice or
bias, strives to adjust the public burdens
most equitably and for the public good.
As a theoretical proposition equal taxa

when it is applied to all classes of proper
