DR.. R A FOR MAYOR.

The city ticket nominated by the
Republicans Saturday night is a good
one and places before the voters we'll
known and capable men in whose hands
the city government cannot suffer.
Owing to the numerous improvements
during the past year neoessitating the
issuing OF thousands of dollars worth
OF bonds, the city officials for the
next two years will be still more ardu
GUS than during the past year. The
citS's credit will have to be guarded
with an iron hand and, at the same
{ time, the popular demand for i'm
p.ovaments will have to be satisfied
in some manner.
During the past year this has been
comparatively easy because of the
borf ed indebtedness Of the city was
low and issues could be made for imt
aAs=esa%4A all along the Line. The
limit for bonds, however, is now close
at hand and now is the time when
care must be taken Tot to over step
the safety mark. That there is yet
much to be done. no n can deny.
School No. 8 should be in course Of
construction now n reservoir should
be built; a police station built, with a
patrol wagon shonld be enough
patrolmen to have n reserve Mt head
quarters all the time; the fire depart
ment needs horses for all their appar-
atus and several paid men; streets
need improving everywhere. Such
problems as these will present iher-
selves to the mayor and Board of AL
dermen this coming year. In DIR. II.

one of the principal opponents 10 the
bill and members of that club recently
held O match and allowed themselves
to be arrested as q test case to see IL
the law is constitutional. Here is
what "The New Era" published at
Riverton, has to say on the matter.
1t shows that these pigeon slaughteTers
are not residents of New Jersey, but
are men driven from their own State
where the practice is prohibited:
1.-The case Of the State vs.. the
in the Burlington County COURT, calls
for the earnest attention of every
newspaper and jurist, as well as the
citizens of our State.
"a wise and just law, in the pass.
age of which Governor Murphy was
personally active, was enacted ut
Trenton last winter, prohibiting the
shooting of live pigeons for snort in
, New Jersey. Immedia ely after the
passage OF the law there WAS consider
liable talk about contesting it in an
attempt to prove 1t unconstitutional,
and the test shoot held last Friday
afternoon by two members of the club
was the first step TAX IN and effort to
annul the law. Neither of these two
persons are residents of or property
owners in the vicinity of the club,
which is a ell-known resort for
sportsmen of New York and Philadel-
phia.
"a letter of thanks, addressed to
Governor Murphy for his activity in
securing the passage of the bill, Was
signed last June by residents OF the
Borough of Riverton owning real es-
tate in the neighborliood of the club
grounds aggregation an assessed valu-
alton of $3.50, COO. 1t would seem en-
inently fitting that the wishes Of so
large a number of persons, vitality in
terested in the welfare of the COM
munity in which they live and own
their homes, should have proper con-
the pigeon law.
In the two towns of Riverion and
Palmyra. with q population of about
6, 1000, there are not at present five
active members Of this club, and tho
membership of the board OF managers
is composed of men not residents of
R~iverton-the latter having been tie
case for several years. The manage
ment of the club is largely in the
hands of persons who have no finan-
cial nor personal interest in the well
fare of this community, and who are
II OF residents of our State.
