Vital Statistics.

There is really mo cause for alarm
in the fact that the report Of the vital
statistics, published yesterday, show
the number of birthsH in Perth Amboy
during 1904 to be IFS less than in 1903.
While we trust our esteemed friend,
Theodore Roosevelt, will not hear of
the report, as it might cause him some
alarm and prejudice him against the
city, yet we see in the report n ray
of hope in the fact that in spite Of this
decrease, the population of the city
C 1ntinues to grow, showing that more
grown people are locating here, a
population which builds houses, pays
rents, patronIzes our merchants and
otherwise pushes the city ahead.
Then again, there is the present
crowded condition Of our schools.
The authorities are at their wits end
to know what to do with all the chill.
dren aud how to accommodate them
To these officials the figures may DO
a sign Of relief. Perhaps they think
the city may be able to catch up with
the demand for seating capacity during
this lull period.
Taking all into consideration there
is no cause for alarm. 1t may be o
sidered that the figures for 1903 were
unusually large They show 535 births
against 33l for 1902. This is q much
greater gain than the loss this year.
Therefore we take courage and feel
confident that Perth Amboy will yet
be the metropolis OF the state with
thousands Of boys and girls running
about to drive away the dull cares and
make life worth living for every one.

Vol unteer Firemen

Our ne,ghbors in Woodbridge can
we'll feel proud of their fire depart
ment. The excellent work done Mon
dav night shows plainly that the days
of the volunteer fireman are by no
means numbered. 1t is doubtful If
trained fire fighters, ready to respond
to the alarm at a moment notice,
could have done much better work,
The fact that kerosene and gun
powder were in the cellar and were
noe reached by the flames is remark
able when it is realized what headwoy
the blaze had gained.
The manner in which the Wood
bridge department went 10 work re-
minds US Of our own local boys and
the excellent work they do here every
year. That Perth Amtoy has not been
half burned down upon several differ
ent occasions has been due to the etfic
iepcy of the firemen, themselves, ant
not TO any of the apparatus that they
had. 1t is gratifying to know they are
at least getting the attention they
Justly deserve.

The agitation for municipal own'r-
ship, espe cially for electric lighting,
has spread from one emo of the state
to the other. There is hardly a city
of any consequence where some alder
man or body of citizens have not come
out in favor of tho idea and declared
their intention of working toward that
end. This is going to have its good
effect. While there may not be many
municipal plants established a. a re-
suit of the present movement. it has
led people TO investigate the matter.
Experts have reported on the subject
and these reports have been widely
| circulated and read.
1t must be known to those who are
urging municipal ownership of cleo
trio light plants in cities, however.
that it is impossible for such a thing
to come to pass until the legislature
enacts a law giving the cities he
\ right 10 build such plants. Boroughs
land townships have been granted that
privilege, but, thus far, cities are
erred.
THIS seems to be a good opportunity
some ambitious assemblyman who
lnts to make a reputation for him
by shining out before the people.
Apral cities are crying for such leg
" ion and there is no doubt but that
XXB4ey had the authority municipal
e&Hs would he erected. They want
lHtb bower. 1t is up to the Legislature.
G is no denying the power of the
lie service Corporation in New
~ There are some people who
655R#a think it would be more than
TO attempt to pass a law for
~ 4keipal ownership. Be that IS it
1H18 there is an lHCreaslhR
bid for such a law and if the
Service a influence legisla-
ton in this stata there is no time like
the present to find it out. If some
lawmaker, who is not afraid of the
whip and is willing to stand out for
the people, will introduce a municipal
ownership law for cities he will win
u the applause of the people and if the
law fails and that legislator mysteri-
ously disappears from view when the
bext election comes around, the people
ill know who to blame and it may
BIT be- well for the party which de
eted the measure.
