PROCEED WITH IMPROVEMENTS

The financial showing made BY the
expert accountants who have been
going over the city records, and
Strengthening out rs AFFAIRS for the
purpose OF installing a comprehensive
system Of bookkeeping, is such that
the city council should not think OF
abandoning its proposed municipal
improvements on account OF the re-
suit OF tho local option election. We
believe the people want the streets
paved and they want an ordinance
which Will require the laying OF ce-
ment sidewalks on all graded streets.
permitting board walks only on the
ungraded streets, These improve
ments are necessary II we would keep
the moss on the city. Its fate az a
summer resort Is sealed. aud we
might as we'll make up our minds TO
that fact. but this loss may be over

viii make the city more attractive as

street for ten or twelve blocks, pave
Second, Third. Fourth. Fifth, Sixth
and seventh streets for the same dis

Require all sidewalks to be OF ce-
ment and make these Improvement
Under a well planned, uniform system,
laid out with q view 10 covering the
whole city and capable OF unlimited
extension. The improvements should
DO laid out with the future growth
Of the city In View and we believe
that the people will expect the city

With the work without unnecessary

well be made now as later. and the

for a police. station, If some additional land
be obtained. We recommend that a new
station house be erected.
The committee this year appropriated
$4,000 to the City Home account for the
purpose of erecting a new building. This
appropriation has been found to be entirely
Inadequate and $1,000 will be necessary In
order to care for the pressing needs of that
institution. Your committee has been much
Impressed with the excellent work done at
the City Home and the efficiency OF the
management. We recommend that the
additional sum be made available as soon
as possible.
Each year the finance committee is con-
Istantly importuned for increases In salaries
from various departments. We believe that
early next year the finance committee
should lake w this question and equalize
salaries generally In all departments under
control of the Common Council The sub
ject should be studied In all Its details and
a schedule adoDted that would fix the same
pay for similar work throughout the
various Offices.
One OF the most important duties OF the
finance committee is the preparation OF
from the various boards and departments
for large appropriations. the increased
needs of the CITY in all its activities. the
demands for improvements OF all kinds. all
must be carefully weighed and the burden
upon the taxpayer made as light as is
consistent with efficiency and progress.
After the ANIMAL appropriations have
been fixed by the tax ordinance. every
department should be informed that the
sum allotted mrst be so nsed as to pro-
vide for the whole years expenditures
any increase be given. III November and
December of each year demands are made
upon the finance committee for special
appropriations In order that boards and
DEPARTMENTS that have exceeded their al
lowance NAV be able to close the years
account and pay bills contracted. This
practise cannot be too severely condemned
The finance committee should prevent sucl1
mismanapement in future bv resolutely re.
fusing to grant additional funds.

Members of the new Common Council
today were discussing a statement of
the needs of the city, which had been
prepared by Chairman jerome T. Con
gleton, of the committee on finance.
Chairman Congleton has given the SUBJ
ject a great deal of thought, and the
statement was read without
at last nights meeting of the Common
Council. In part it is as follows:
The demand for the Improvement of the
lighthouses in our city has been recognized
for some years. After several conferences
with the Board OF Works and others inter-
ested, the finance committee determined
that the best solution of the problem was
TO issue bonds for the purpose. Present
laws are not adequate, and a new act must
be prepared enabling the city in a broad
and generous way to provide for these
needed improvements
Your committee this year has seriously
considered the desirability of placing the
lighthouses under the control OF the play
and Water Commissioner now has the
management of the public baths.
The subject should be studied with care,
and the finance and legislative commit
tees should jointly work out a compre-
hensive policy suited to the conditions, and
to be embodied in the new act.
Your committee is thoroughly convinced
that all the wires of the fire alarm tele-
graph system should be placed under
ground. The ordinance now requires tina
the telephone company shall provide space
In all its underground condUits for the fire
alarm wires. The fire department furnishes
the cable and the ta ephone draws
the cable through the conduits, charging
the department for this work. The cost
Of cable and the labor of drawing per mile
averages about 81, 500. We recommend thai
early 10 the new year a comprehensive plaI
be adopted by. means OF which the fire de
partment shall be authorized to proceed a
once with this work. the expense to be al.
lowed for IN the tax ordinance. Bonds
should not be issued for this purpose.
Your committee recommends that a site
he purchased for a new truck house to bt
erected in the territory south of Clinton
avenue. The land purchased by the city
in 1906 at the corner of Hunterdon anC
Bigelow streets as a site for a truck hous,
is not suitable for that purpose, but pos
slbly can be used to advantage as q site
