new JERSEY KNOWN AS
MOTHER OF CITIES.
Five Municipalities Incorporated
Prior to Middle Of Eighteenth Gen.
tury-Perth Amboy in 1918.

New Jersey is known as the Moth
Ell of Cities. This may be a surprise
to many historians. Perth Amboy,
Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton
and Burlington were all incorporated
prior to 1850, and at a time when the
only other organized cities in the
country were Albany and New York,
and Annapolis in the south.
1t was not until after national in
dependence was attained that, either
in New England, or elsewhere in the
colonies, a systematic attempt to in
corporate cities was begun, except in
New Jersey, the parent of modern
municipal organization,
Perth Amboy was incorporated by
charter in 171S. New Brunswick
followed twelve years later, and in
1882 Burlington was vested with
corporate powers. In 1870 Elizabeth
was chartered, and in 1746 Trenton
became endowed with city functions.
rms concerted movement did not
stop after the twenty-eight years con-
sumed In the incorpation of the first
nve cities but has continued to be a
prominent characteristic of New Jer-
sey administration. Indeed it may
now be said with much accuracy that
the entire section of New Jersey with
in the neighborhood of these original
cities is urban in it's essential feat
ures while retaining at the same time
the appearance and advantages of
suburban and country districts.
Industrial Welfare.
The principal reason which
brought about the incorporation of
the cities namely, industrial welfare,
has had ample justification, especial
ly in the development of the last
few years, during which the compar-
alive isolation of the cities has be-
come a thing of the past, and a stu
pendous system of electrical trans
portation has established a commun-
ity of interest of which capital and
labor and the country loving public
have not been slow to take advan-
tagc.
According to the last census the
manufacturing establishments alone
numbered 7,011, and represented an
invested capital of $716,046,545,
with an output of STA ,619,O25 in
value. 1t is estimated that from the
dairy business alone, New Jersey
farmers will this year realize SILL
100000, and this sum represents on
ly part of the returns which will flow
to them.

VISITING AT THE

Hon. H. Solmon of Tama. Ia, left

at the Grace Creek ranch. He had in

way east in the autumn. Mr.. Solmon
is a prominent citizen of his home
town, well acquainted with Hon. James
Wilson, the secretary of agriculture,
and a well informed politician of the
Hawkeye state. He says the fight the
railroads are making on Governor
Cummings will not encompass the de-
feat of that gentleman for a renomina-

here in Wyoming-one can almost be-
gin to draw salary after the convention
ends.
