AmboY would be able this year, since
the appropriations have been made up,
to pay the balance of what the law re.
quires TO be appropriated. That was
the situation in the Jersey City case,
but the court allowed the writ to issue
requiring the city ultimately TO pay the
amount.
Under the foregoing law and decis-
ion, ! think the Board of Aldermen did
not perform its duty if it appropriated
less than one third OF mill on every
dollar Of sssessable property within this
city, and that If the matter should be
taken to the Supreme Court. the city
would he obliged to raise and pay the
balance
Yours very truly,

Buchanan s opinion agreed with that
of Judge Lyon.

January Circulation Biggest Yet.
The monthly report of Miss Mnlligan,
the librarian, was received and accept
ed. 1t showed that the total circula-
tion in January was the largest since
the library was established. A vote Of
thanks was extended TO Miss Mulligan
for her excellent service during the past
year. and she was authorized to exclude
all children, under the high school age,
about fifteen years from the library
on Sunday afternoons. She says that
they have plenty of time during the
week to visit the place, and it is claim
ed that they annoy many readers who
have no other day than Sunday to visit
the library.
New Member Present.
Fritz Hoyler. who was appointed to
the board to succeed John W. Beekmaps
was present. After being welcomed by
Commissioners Jones, Kitehel and Nc
Cormiek. he spoke brieflx.

theatrical manager of this city, had be-
come the possessor of an automobile. Mr..
Berger returned a few days ago from a
western trip. and, while visiting in Mich
igan, he was treated to a. 10y ride" In a
large racing car. After travelling short
distance, as he thought, he inquired how
far the cyclometer registered. When in
formed that he had gone only 11S miles.
he expressed surprise at the rapidity with
which it had been covered. He was highly
elated over the trip, and whether he con-
tracted the automobile fever" remains to
be seen.

The management of the INDIANAPOLIS
motor speedway has about definitely de-
cided on the surface for the track, which
Is to make the speedway the greatest
course In the world. For the last few
days experts have been submitting fig
ures and samples of materials that will
make complete roadway. while the
management decided to set aside $50, 900
for the work to be done. A bitulithic
surface will cost 100000, which will
make the track as smooth as glass, and
capable OF two miles minute. While
surface Of the finest road brick, at the
rate Of SIS per thousand. will make a
track perhaps faster and certainly as
durable The cost Of the brick is we'll
In excess Of the cost Of any other sur
the brick alone will cost $3.50. 900, with
perhaps $4,000 more to lay them This
would entail an expense of 5000, in
stead OF $3.50, 900, as first planned to re-
pair the speedway and install the new
grandstands as well as equipment that is
to make 1t not only fast but perfectly
safe. The indications now are that the
latter amount will be expended. Sam
pies OF tDOtu surfaces are Doing lalQ

tests that will surpass the events run

never better evidenced than during the
past week The town sign. which has
been weather beaten for several years
past, has received new coat of paint
and the picture of the horses head in

did before. It's fresh-looking appearance
attracted considerable attention last Sun
day, when a large number Of automo-
biles journeyed over the road to Bene-
dict, Md. The painting surmounts the
town lamp which is located at the forks
in the road, and has been a landmark
for many years. The citizens took kind
ly to the recent article in The Star on
an "Automiie Trip to Historic Benedict .
in which reference was made to the
weather-beaten sign post, and desiring to
aid the autoists en- route to the Patuxent

THEY FURNISH THE TOOLS
be used.

There is no one who can say that
the Caldwell City Council will not
supply it's officers with tools for the
proper performance of their duties.
If Caldwell officer, or even deputy
officer, thinks Caldwell needs rock
quarry, the council buys it. If an
other needs gum boot, the council
supplies its whole retinue with gum
boots. We hope none will get an idea
that he needs cooked hat, because
they are hard to find nowadays, and
Health Officer Hodson wouldn't look
good in cooked hat any how. We
would suggest, though, since the city
intends supplying it's officers with
wearing apparel, that it specify uni
forms for it's different employees.
There should be some system to this
dress business. Caldwell is getting
long on system now and the dress of
the city employees should be system
matized. You can't expect Street
Commissioner Wooley or Superin-
tendent Fuller to come out dressed
only in gum boots, and the rest OF
them without even gum boots. The
cold weather is on US now, and while
gum boots are mighty fine, but they
are inadequate.

would have welcomed such a move
long ago, but we do not think that in
order to keep the minds of the people
free from communicating influences of
liquor advertisements, an ordinance
should be passed making it unlawful
for the United States government to
circulate from the Malad City post
office any circular letters of liquor
dealers, magazines, periodicals, news
papers or other publications contain
ing any matter that refers to intox-
icating liquor. We respectfully refer
this mater to the city attorney for
his careful consideration.-Ma En-

pend ON the Malad city dads. arising
to any emergency. When the
statesmen of Malad see any evil they
throttle it on the spot. There is no
monkey business with them. If the
sale of Old Grow is furthered by
an advertisement in the Enterprise
something has got to be did, and they
do it. Postal regulations have little
force and effect down there. Malad
is little world all of itself. 1t
wots not a cuss for anything else
on earth. The village should have a
press censor. There are many
other things besides whisky adver-
tisements that should not see the
light of day in the columns of a
newspaper. 1t is hard work to pass
a special ordinance for everything
that comes up. A press censor
could do it all and have time to spare
