Much Interest Manifested in Re.
suit of Census in New Bruins
wick and This City.
.FAvORS PERTH AMBOY.

The census of Perth Ainboy and
New Brunswick is attracting attention
throughout the state. Here are some
Of the comments in the state press of
yesterday:
The Newark Evening News says:
"One city in this state fears the
census and admits it. New Bruins wick
has already expressed some anxiety
lest Perth Amboy shall prove to be
the larger in point of population. The
very rapid growth of the seashore city
in the past ten years has undoubtedly
caused the county seat much uneasi-
ness, for it is not improbable that
Perth Amboy may yet insist upon
taking the county buildings away from
the city on the Raritan. The old Jail
is about as open as a seive, and is n
disgrace to Middlesex county, yet the
freeholders refuse to put it in proper
repair. The other county buildings
could we'll. be replaced with new ones
and when the time comes to do this
Perth Amboy may be much bigger
than New Brunswick and make u heavy
bid for the county seat. In one way,
however, New Brunswick has the
better of the struggle. 1t has the
property, the wealth, the commerce,
the banks, the college, the state farm
and the prestige. In none of these
does Perth Amboy excel. Yet ever
with all these advantages New Bruins
wick is both jealous and anxious. If
it had less corruption it would have
less fear of losing the county seat"
The following is from the Jersey
City Journal:
1.-THE. Perth Amboy NEWS was SO
cock-sure that its town had beaten the
county seat in population that it was
growing Justify. The New Brunswick
Home News objected, and the Perth
Amboy paper bet that its city had one
thousand more population than New
Brunswick. Now the Home News has
accepted, and the penalty is a dinner
to the staff of the winner, to be paid
for by the loser. That is a good bet.
Both sides will win, and both papers
stand Loyalty by their own towns, as
they should. Every newspaper should
boom its own town, even if it does cost
a good dinner to an opposition staff. F"
