Twenty years ago, before the aver

probable value. Individual judgment
based upon mental comparison with
other stands of timber formed the
basis of his calculations. Singing q

which he carefully noted the size ana

WILL BE "sAFE AND sANE.n

Every citizen should be interested
in seeing that the Fourth Of July
celebration this year is a success.
Mayor Bollschweiler has taken a
definite stand in the matter of the
sale of explosives and has decided to
issue no permits whatever. The
police will be instructed to arrest
every person shooting a firecracker
or discharging firearms of any de-
scription within the city limits. This
is as 1t should be. AS the EVENING
NEWS remarked before, the cele-
brfation will be either safe and
sane" or 1t will not be safe and
sane" Perth Amboy has started out
to make 1t safe and the mayors
course is the only logical one to
take. Now for the real celebration.
The committees are hard at work
making preparations for the proper
observance of the day. The parade
will be the great feature and those
having 1t in charge should be given
hearty support. Thomas F. Burke,
the chairman of the committee, has
extended through the press an invi-
tation to all lodges, societies and
organizations of every description to
march in the procession. As the
time is short for completing the ar
rangements 1t was impossible to send
special invitations to each organ!za-
tion 1t is to be hoped that there
VIII be generous response.
1t is the Intention Of the general
committee to give the children of
Perth Amboy such good time along
'.safe and sane lines that they will
forget all about the old customs and
viii never want to go back to them.
This can be done II every citizen
enters into the spirit of the occasion
and gives the mayor the support
that he deserves. There will be nc
fireworks sold in Perth Amboy be-
fore or on the Fourth of July. Oi
this much we are assured by the
authorities. Outsiders who come
here attracted by the good time
along other lines will have to leave
their explosives behind or be sub
jected to arrest. There is no reason
why this should not be the Creates
Fourth of July in the history Of
Perth Amboy.
