The Asbury Park Press sums up one
of the questions of the hour in the
following timely remarks. The time
is coming when government owner
ship will not be confined to the tele-
phone either;
"Whether or mott competing local
telephone service in Asbury Park is
going to benefit the subscriber IL a
|question with only n side. Nine
tenths of the Subscribers who, under
the spur Of mistaken economy. might
be induced to take the cheaper
phones. wonld still be compelled ia
retain the old service and thus instead
Of paving one rate they would pay a
double charge for a local service and
q continued full charge for a Long
distance service. II is not %contentled
that the competing company would at
one foil swoop carry wit, it the en-
tire list of business subscribers or
even a majority of them What sort
of a service would it be, therefore,

PLAYING IN THE STREET.

Parents should learn n lesson from
tho accident in State street yesterday
afternoon in which a child was run
down by a horse and killed. That the
victim should be the same child who
was run down by a horse last year aud,
in a suit for damages. recently, was
awarded a verdict of $500 and the
father 5000. is a strange coincidence.
1t would seem that that child, of nll
others, would have q horror Of being
in tho street.
The street IL no place for children
to play, especially In a busy thorough
fare like state street. Drivers are in
constant danger of knocking some
youngster down and they are really o
hindrance to traffic. Some means
should be adopted. to keep the children
where they belong. This presents
a difficult problem. However, for
many Of the residents along State
street and other shoronghfares in this
city, live ON the second floor and
really have no yard. Perhaps the only
solution l. in establishing Squares
o. parks, such as the larger cities
have and which are increasing in
number in smaller municipalities.
Surely the boys and girls, to bo
healthy and strong, must haye some
place 10 romp and play. Yhe city

II we are not mistaken, Mayor Sem

argument. in advancing the case of
no competition. II Wa remember
rightly he said. il the people Of Rec
tor street want bitulithic, let Others
ksep th sir hands or, they have no
right 10 interfere. This was a com
mon argument. and, we believe, had
muoh 60 do with influencing the al
dermen.
Let us look into the matter care
fully, in the light of tho recent bid
ding, md see whether this was a
matter solely for the people of Rector
street to settle or whether, as the
Evening News claimed at the time.
the whole city was concerned. Duni-
gan bid ~. 700 loss than the Warren
monopoly, but his bid had to be re-
jsoted becauso the specifications called
for q patent material for making the
pavement which only the Warren
people coui1 furnish. The city, as
a whole, pays one-third the entire
cost Of the pavement. AS a result the
nity mnst pay one-third the additional
cost Of the Warren bid oyer the Duni-
gnn bid. As the difference in the two
bids was ~, 700, the city's one-third
amounts to 5000. This means that
taxpayers of the entire city of Perth
Amboy must deliberately hand out
5000 cold cash simply because the
handfnl of people down in Rector
street insisted that they knew what
they wanted. and the city fathers SO
far forgot themselves as to allow
closed specifications. and thereby
neglected to do their duty toward the
