pastors of this colony were instruct

COULD CITY BE HELD?.
Correspondent Writes of RespOn-
sibllty Of Hansen's Death
Condition of Water ST.

The following letter received at
the NEWS office this morning is
timely and to the point:
Editor Evening News
The bluff on Water street, where
poor Jacob Hansen lost his life
Thursday night has been in its pres
ent dangerous condition ever since
! have lived near it, nearly twenty
nine years, and | know of many per-
sons who have come very close to
losing their lives there through the
neglect of the city to properly protect
it, ] think that if Hansen had any
one that was dependent on him for
support that they would have a clear
case against the city of Perth AM
boy.
Water street, the finest located
street in the City today, is in Il shame
fully neglected condition and the
worst of it all is there does not seem
to be any prospect of any of the
city's improvements coming that
way. The east side of poor water
street from Smith to Fayette streets
is in about the same condition as it.
is at the bluff and nothing except
good luck has prevented many acci-
dents at these places and others
nearby.
Front street, from Fayette street
south, is very much in the same con
dton. The bulkhead or jumping
off place, some 400 feet south of Cor
don street, is disgrace TO
city that has pretentions towards be-
ing at all modern. There are also two
brick buildings on Front street that
are in great danger of falling soon
and endangering the lives of the in
nocent pedestrians. Who is it that
has any business or duty to look af-
ter such things? If there is no one,
for the sake of the safety of the pub
lie. why do not the all-wise city
fathers take time and get some one
to look after such things?
A Beautiful Drive.
Front street. with comparatively
small expense, could be continued
from the jumping off place and made
an elegant driveway TO connect with
Water street near Lewis. There is
no street that | know of that would
give so much pleasure to the people
of Perth Amboy as Front street
would if ii were opened to the pub
lie. as The view of the lovely bay at
this point would be beyond question.
the greatest attraction of the city
cannot understand why our public
men can be so dead slow to realize
the value and attractions of this
place before ii is too late and the
property is bought up for speculative
or other purposes.
Mr. Editor, you have done some
very good work in shouting for i'm
provements, turn your eyes towards
poor Water and Front streets and
try and see if you can't move things
a little our way so that Water street
people can see little of the money
that they have paid out in the shape
of taxes put ON Improvements TO
Front and Water streets.
Truly yours,

CREDIT AND SETTLEMENT.

The most important points
in Judging a mans credit;
are first, his good name;
second, his ability to pay;
and third, the manner in
which he does pay.
You may ask how these
relate to you? In this way;
in order for us to buy as
low as any yard; get our
stock shipped as quick, and
receive the best of its kind;
our credit has to be good.
SO is it with you. If you'
are not getting the service,
stock that your good credit
demand; wouldn't it be a
good idea to try us. We
are bound to keep our credit
good: First, on account OF
giving our trade better SER
vice; and second, resulting
partly from the first; more
business and consequently
more profits.
