steal a march upon their opponents
they do so and then fight afterward.
A railroad once laid stays there UNI
til the highest court in the state COM
pels the railroad to remove it. This
generally means years of litigation.
What the intention of the railroad
is, in this particular, We do not
know. We do know, however, that
the action looks suspicious and it
would not be surprising any day to
see a force of several hundred men
at work laying the proposed siding
before the city can get out an in
junction to stop it. Then it is too
late, the rails will be down and they
will be hard to get up.
This matter should not be ignored.
We do not believe the Board of AL
dermen want to spoil three streets,
which, in a few years, are going to
be three of the most desirable for
residences in this city. Next spring
Madison avenue is to be paved it's
full length. This is a beautiful
broad thoroughfare leading from
New Brunswick avenue direct to the
river with a fine beach at the end.
To have a railroad spun cross that
thoroughfare close to the shore, at
its most desirable part, would be an
outrage. Too much precaution IAN
not be taken to prevent anything of
this kind and the residents of the
thoroaghfare should not be compel
led to bear the expense themselves.
The whole city is concerned.
We realize that Perth Amboy is a
manufacturing city and must neces-
sarily have railroad spurs, smells and
noises which, in purely residential
towns, would be a great nuisance.
We believe, however, that the people
living here must have some consider
alton and it is up to the city to at
least keep the southern section of
the city clean for the residences.
The river front ought TO be cleared
off and made a place of beauty in
stead of being made worse than it is.
A demand should be made of the
railroad to know what its inten-
tons are in the southern end of the
city and prompt and efficient action
should be taken to prevent any en-
croachments on the city's rights. A
little action now may save years of
litigation later on and also keep our
streets clear of all Instructions in
the meantime.

SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENTS.

There has peer considerable ac-
tipity in the southern part of the city
by the Central railroad for several
weeks past and there is every indica-
tion that preparations are being
made to extend a spur eastward along
shore with the ultimate intention of
reaching John Fl. Gregory's marine
graveyard. The fact that Mr.. Greg
DRY had petitioned for such a siding
adds all the more to the suspicion.

There is nothing to get out of kilter

linen and Isle have been pressed into

linen gently at first, for it is cool and

split the difference and invest in Isle

haps II you're very thin you cannot
appreciate what this means, but the
stout man or woman who wrestles with
the problem of doing away with all
