Penney station Ills.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
What's the use of working those
gates on the east side of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad the way they do? Often
after waiting some time for a train one
will come along and just as you heave
a sigh of relief you discover that you
are not permitted to board it, and all
because it happens to be a Pullman.
generally with a couple of common
coaches strung on the end that have
practically no one in them. Cases of
this kind often happen.
Why are the gates not opened and
these cars filed? 1t would prevent the
locals from being crowded. we wouldn't
have to wait so long for a train and
it would please everyone all around.
Those trains stop anyway, so why not
let the ommon herd use them? This
would help relieve the congested traffic
between Newark and New York.

A SALARrED COMMON COUNCIL.

TIL the Newark Common Council so chooses, it can now by ordi-
nance provide for salaries of $500 for its members. Governor
Fort has approved a bill for the purpose. There are sixteen
unnecessary members of the Council, a body really too unwieldly
to properly do the public business. Sixteen aldermen would con-
stitute a much more effective chamber. If the adoption of salaries
should be coincident with a reduction of membership by onehalf
the change would be well worth the salary cost, which would then
be only $4,000 annually. AS a matter of principle, a common
council should be salaried. We salary the Mayor and Board of
Works, the Police and Fire commissions. Why not the Common
Council? Tie objection lies in the number of its members. Reduce
the representation to make the council more of a business body
and less of a political, and the objection will disappear.

BALLINGER'S WITHHELD EVIDENCE.

TN criminal trials the defendants are not expected to furnish evil
dence against themselves. Secretary Ballinger's refusal to
permit to go out of his possession official papers bearing on
lis case before the investigating committee was, however, a diff
ferent matter. These papers constitute evidence that the Pnchot
CLAWS counsel need to prove their case against Balinger. If the
papers do not compromise Ballingers defense there is no reason
why he should withhold them. If they do, then there is the best
poesibIe reason why he should surrender them to the committee.

WEST HUDsoN's WATER FRONTAGE.

IT F the remonstrance by the West Hudson Board of Trade has its
proper effect upon the Common Council of Harrison that body
will not commit the inexcusabe blunder of vacating streets
leading to the river where there is a frontage for it. Jersey City
and Hoboken should be an example for West Hudson. BY the
ignorance, carelessness and venaity of the East Hudson officials
in the past practically the whole waterfront was surrendered to
private ownership, and today a citizen of Jersey City or Hoboken
cannot put a fshpole over the river bank anywhere. The best asset
of West Hudson consists of its water frontage, and it will be of
the highest value in the near future. Let West Hudson guard it
and the approaches to it.

How much longer is the city beau
tiful" work to be hampered by the
lack of cooperation IN the part of he
Public Service Railway Company? The
cars on the Kinney and Bergen lines
are certainly gems, for if they are not
rare, they are certainly antique. Every
time one of these cars passes the Four
Corners the Firemen's building feels
like leaving town, and the new lights
on Broad and Market streets flicker in
disgust. But the P. S. r. can't be
blamed; they are at least consistent
in their efforts to mar "city beau

permits municipalities to appeal from
assessments by the State Board of
Assessors to the State Board of Equal
cation of Taxes. Heretofore, while the
railroads had the right of appeal to the
courts, the municipalities were denied
that right. If the assessments were too
high, in the estimation of the railroad,
they could be reduced by appeal. If too
low, in the judgment of the municipal
ity, there was no appeal.
