WEDNESDAY, A 3.
More P~avements.

Keep it up, aldermen, it is u good
foundation for q prosperous looking
city. Let the good work go on. At
the meeting Monday night several
streets were moved up a notch and the
CITY is bound to be benefited thereby,
What has become of those other
streets, though? There is Madison
avenue left over from last year and
State street, from Smith street to the
Lchigh Valley bridges, which was be-
fore the board but q few weeks ago.
RESPONSIVENESS were filed against the
pavement, il is true, but the people
do not yet know the outcome. Surely
thcre has been time enough to inves-
stigate this matter. This same is true
OF the single block in Rector street,
from Market to Smith streets. A
Board Of Aldermen, which has the
reputation the present board has
earned, cannot afford to let these
streets pass without further action. If
til petitions have been killed VIC want
to know it SO the progressive prop
erty owners can begin again. These
streets must he paved. Improvement
must go on. Perth Amboy cannot
afford to stand still and every oppor-
tunity for pushing pavements should
be seized.

BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
HEARS JARED SMITH
tine OVERLAND IIM,rro."

The Board of Agriculture yesterday
afternoon heard the report of Jared
G. Smith, Director of the U. S. Ex-
pertinent Station containing estimates
of sums desired from the legislature to
aid in the stations work. Following
are the sums asked for: Tantalus
reservoir, $4,000; for experimental
shipments of cold-storage fruits to
coast, $1,000 per year; for coffee curing
experiments, $500 per year; for tobac-
co, $500; for greenhouse $4,000. These
with general expenses total 1921, 900.
Mr.. Smith spoke most favorably of the
experiments with coffee and tobacco
and said that the greatest success was
being met. The coffee ring is blamed
in large measure for discrimination
against the Hawaiian product.
A resolution was passed declaring
that the land of Kaohe Hawaii is not
needed as a forest reserve but recon-
mending that lessees or buyers be re-
quired to fence the upper line. The
superintendent of forestry Is negotia-
ting with Messrs. Henriques and
Comes for large area of koa timber
on the Honuaula, North Kona tract,
the lease of which has been decided to
belong to them.

OIL FOR LEADING
CITY THOROuCHFARE

Road Supervisor Johnson states that
estimates have been asked of one of
the local oil companies for soaking
Pensacola street from Wilder avenue
to King street, with crude oil. The
reason for this is that Pensacola street
receives hard usage from the crushed
rock-laden wagons coming down from
the Makik quarry. The macadamized
road gives way in short time and
necessitates frequent repairs.
The Supervisor also states that the
department is figuring on paving Fort
street from Beretania to the Water
front with either wood block or btu
men. Hotel street, King street and
Queen street for block on either side
NJ Fort street are contemplated In the
Improvement in pavements.

500, 900 FOR NEW
PUBLIC BUILDING

The Governor is said to contemplate
asking the legislature to appropriate
100000 to he used in the erection of a
public building on the site of the old
government stables, between the pres
ent judiciary building and the Auto
mobile building on King street. At the
County Act meeting last night one of
the Commissioners was authority for
the statement.
This brought up the suggestion of
Chairman Cooper, when he was SUI
perintendent OF Public Works. that two
wings be added to the present capitol
building, or the old palace as it IL
familiarly known. Mr. Cooper said
that study of the proposition made
by him. convinced him now that. II
followed. the building would become
one of the handsomest and most COM
modious public structures in the coun-
try.

B. & o. Not To Give Passes.

George F. Randolph. first vice-presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. returned on Saturday from the
meeting of the Trunk Line Association
in New York. This gathering considered
the abolition of the issue of passes by the
Several roads which form the association.
After an extended discussion of the situa-
ton it was finally decided that passes
will not be issued after the close of the
year. Mr.. Randolph accordingly author
lied the following announcement
= The issuance of all forms of free or
reduced rate transportation will be abol-
ished by this company after December
81 next. Exception IS made for officers
and employees of the Baltimore and Ohio
and connecting lines, to whom transpor-
tation will be issued as usual. This is in
accord with the action taken at the meet
ing of the Trunk Line Association, held
IN New York Thursday, when the same
arrangements relating to the issuance of
transportation was unanimously agreed
to by all the lines belonging to the asso-
citation"
