PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor EVENING NEWS

EQltOc EN ENINO NENo
A few days ago had the temerity
of sending you a communication point
ing out u few facts relating TO State
street pavement, and which you did
me the favor of publishing. and for
which | thank you. Your c%orrespon-
dent, 'Pro Bono Publico,' takes ex-
captions to some queries that | then
made and instead of answering them
in a logical manner, when he con-
denscended to do me the distinguished
honor of noticing them at all, he'simp-
ly makes certain assertions which are
easily susceptible Of being disproved.
He asserts, among other things,
that q macadam pavement is mot q
pavement for q business street, but an
apology for one.r AS your co~rrespon-
dent is too modest to publish his
name, but takes refuge under q non de
plume, it is lamentable that we can't
accept him as an authority on the sub
ject of street paving. Until he over
comes his evident reluctance, because
of his innate modesty no doubt, to
give us the benefit OF his experience
in road making we must wobble along
under the old established precedents
already laid down by II predecessors,
and irreverently condemning them for
their want of foresight. / hope the
gentleman will forgive mt if I pre-
sumo to remind him that. strange as
it my appear, there were road built
before our time; and / blush to ever
think what chumps our ancestors
were to pse common, ordinary, vulgar
stone for that purpose while all the
VOLCANOES and burning lakes on the
earth were vomiting forth raw mater
ial for their benefit. which. by ex-
plotting a company, they could mono
police the stuff, call it asphalt and
incidentlN putting some nations at
loggerheads. sell 1t to Pro Bono Pub
lico for street paving. But then, you
see, our ancestors were lamentably
UcllSt III C|OluDdTlSOl W liltlf pTuSItS-
sive descendants. They were not up tc
snuff.
Pro Bono Publico gives as another
reason why ! am opposed to the com
position known as asphalt that / was
once employed by the manufacturers
of hat valuable composition and dis
charged, and consequently have /
%grievance. against them. My distin.
guished friend. whose heart bleeds fol
the public, is in error, however. il
that as well as in other respects, as
never sought for or obtained employ
ment by any asphalt manufacturers.
No doubt but asphalt has its uses and
advantages and can be satisfactorily
and successfully utilized for the paw
ing of residential and other streets
and n where there is light
traffic, but / most respectfully submit
that it is not the proper material foi
streets whore heavy traffic is the rule
as in State street.

HISTORY OF
LOYAL ASSN.
How Alpha Council Was Organ
iled in Perth AmbOy The
Charter Members.

The LOYAL Association vas first or
vanized to furnish to its members 81,
more than could be furnished by
the Royal Arcanum as the maximum
amount Of insurance by that order was
$4,000. 1t was first called the Addi-
tional Benefit Association and was to
derive its entire membership from the
Royal Arcanum. When it became APP
parent that such an organization
would be instituted some earnest and
active. members of MiddleseX Coun-
eli determined that the first council
OF the Benefit Associate n should be
started in Perth Amboy and so, with
some very hard work, Alpha Council
No. ] received the first charter issued
and began its work with the following
named gentlemen as the charter mem
bers, being instituted on March T.
1890: Garrett Brodhead, 4. Q. Pier
son, James S. Wight, Ira b. lice,
Harry Conard, d. ]. Currie, w. Guy
Weaver, F. W. Kitchel, William H.
Mccormick. E. W. Pierce, F. Neer,
5. r. Harrington, F. B. Norris, John
A. White, j. Pfeiffer, Jr. A glance
at these names reveals the fact which
is very significant that out OF a group
Of fifteen name and in a period of tf-
teen years, just one is missing, Nh. +.
B. Morris, who lied in 1898, and still
more remarkable that in that period
there has been but three deaths oc-
curing from the entire membership OF
this council, and but two suspensions,
or what might be more properly called
lapses.
After a few years experience 1T was
apparent that there would not be
sufficient growth coming from the
.Arcanum exclusively and so q few
years ago the constitution was changed
and now any person from twenty-one
TO forty-nine years of age, who can
pass the required medical examine
ton, may become q member IN the
amount of 81, 200 or 81, 900, as they may
elect. So from this small beginning
and in this comparatively short per-
iod of time the association has grown
in members and finances, SO that 1t Is
safe to say Though modestly) that 1t
stands first las to per capita, OF any as
sessment association on record.
The officers of both supreme and
grand councils are composed almost
exclusively of ROYAL Arcanum men
and so going into this work with the
experience they had they We're thus
enabled to put this association on a
firm financial basis, which thus far
has proven satisfactory.
The association is managed in As
economical a manner as possible, and
the members have the advantage OF
the earning capacity of the money
they are investing, instead Of having
it go to furnish large dividends for
the pockets OF enormously rich men
as we are learning, more and more is
being done with the money being pait
into the treasury of some old line
companies in the state Of New York.
It has been costing..men too much fol
their insurance and they are begin
ming to see it. Much more might be
said. Tonight we will have the 9ranC
councillor present and we expect t.
have the charter members present als'
as lar as may be possible.
a large attendance is expected ant
several new members will be received.
