WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2
rAvnR LIBERAL FRANCHISE.

An EVENING NEWS reporter
spent yesterday afternoon calling
ON some of the merchants of this
city to ascertain the general opinion
Regarding the franchise for the Cit
izpns Electric Light, Heat and Pow
or Company. Without a single ex-
ccption they were heartily in fav-
or Of giving a liberal franchise to
the new concern. The only condition
that was even suggested was that
proper provision should be made as
TO the kind of service to be given,
AS the company is composed of men
who want to use the service it is
safe to a the service will be all
that can be desired.
One feature which impressed it.
self upon the NEWS man was that
in almost nine case out of ten the
merchant, in reply to his question,
said, FWhy shouldn't | favor a lib
eral franchise, l own stock in the
company" 1t is surprising the num-
Der Of local business men who are
concerned in this matter. 1t is this
tact that proves there is no specula-
tion connected with the application
for the franchise. The merchants
have scattered the shares of stock
as widely as possible in 5000 and
$500 LOTS on purpose so that no one
mar can in any way control the
G and any stakeholder desir-
ing to sell his stock agrees to first
notify the directors and allow the
menfhecs Of the company to buy first,
in preference to any outsider. This
Is 10 prevent any big corporation
trying to buy up the stock secretly.
The company is purely one to bene-
fit the men of Perth Amboy who are
living here and doing business here
and they are deeply interested.
In the light of facts we feel sure
that the Board of Aldermen are
merely holding off to learn what is
best for the city, They do not
intend to oppose public sentiment.
Perth Amboy is not a rich city and
it cannot afford to carry the load
Of a big monopoly like the Public
Service Corporation which is. suck
ing all the dollars out of the place
and depositing it elsewhere. The
people are in hearty accord with this
movement and they are now looking
to the aldermen.

Chicken escallop is made in the same

TIL COUNTY SEAT.

We seem to have aroused the
county with our little fling at New
Brunswick about moving the county
seat down this way. But why not
do it2 The seat of government
should be in the place most easily
reached by those governed. Occas-
ionally the agitation is started to
move the national capital to some
city in the middle west, but this will
never be done on account of the num-
ron costly buildings erected at
Washington. This eason cannot be
applied for keeping the county seat
at New Brunswick. With the possible
exception of Dunellen, Monmouth
Junction, Dayton and one Or two
other small places in that section
Of the county, every place in Mid
dlesex is in more direct communities
tion with Perth Amboy than with
New Brunswick. Take Carteret,
Woodbridge, Metuchen. South Am
boy, Old Bridge Spotswood. Helmet

is q chance for fair and open compet-

pump manufacturers learn for them
selves what the conditions are here
just what is required, then let them

sary to hold them to the faithful
