STILL MARCHING AHEAD.

The merry tune of street paving
continues to be the keynote of the
meetings of the Board of Aldermen.
This is the music for the grand march
of progress for Perth Amboy, may the
good work go onl Several streets
wore considered last night and one
new petition was reciovod. This is for
tho paving OF Smith street from High
TO Water streets with bitulithic ma
cadam.
Tho remonstranco against the State
street paving between Smith and
-WWasifsaE streets -efre.h- sIal5eet-
which has agitated Perth Amboy for
some time. 1t rovives the question,
is macadam a pavement? or, has a
street upon which macadam is laid,
been paved? In as much rs the prop
erty owners along Smith street have
been content to pay their share of a
now pavement, it would seem that the
State street property owners, in tho
interest OF advancing Perth Amboy,
might have consented to allow the
paving to go down there without
objection. There is no denying tho
fact TINT State street is in great noed
of q better pavement and if the city is
TO be compelled to pay the entirelcost,
it means less Improvement elsewhere,
1t would seem that MS each street is
improved the property owners might
bear their portion SO that the city, as
q whole, can assist II greater number
of taxpayers to improve tie streets in
front of their residences.

PATIENCE OF THE PuaLlc.

The fight between the public and
the trolley company which owns the
lines running from New York to
Coney Island is interesting. The
company, in its greed for wealth, is
trying TO squeeze an extra five cents
IN of the passengers just before they
reach their destination. The people
resist and they are being unoermoni-
ously dumped off the cars by the
wholesale. The patience of the people
of this country IL wonderful. How
they allow private %monopolies to con-
troll public utilities for their own
gain is hard to understand. When
tho people Of this country wake mp to
the advantage of municipal control
such as is carried on i'll Great
Britain, they will not be pushed off
cars and handled like cattle. 1t is
snfe to say that with public owner
ship, the trolley fare to Coney Island
would not be a cent more than five
cents and possibly only three cents.
Even ut that a handsome profit would
be made.
