STREET.

1t is greatly to be regretted that,
through an oversight on the part of
the Board of Aldermen. the paving
of Sheridan street will be delayed a
month. This thoroughfare is the
main approach to the county bridge
over the Raritan river. 1t is per
haps, more travelled by strangers
than any other street in the city.
The impression gained in riding over
1t cannot help but have a bad effect
on Perth Amboy, and the city suffers
every day the street remains as It is.
AS long as a permanent improvement
cannot be made before half the sum-
mer is gone, why not have the street
commissioner cart a few loads of
dirt or cinders to be dumped into the
enormous holes in the road just be-
fore the bridge is reached? In its
present condition it is probable that
the city would be liable for any ac-
cident that might occur to an auto
mobile at that point. The expense
would be nil and 1t would go a long
way toward saving the city's reputa-
ton.

A TREAT CONTRAST.

While Great Britain is lavishing
her millions on the browning of a
king this week, thousands of her sub
jects, who are merely existing with
in but a short distance of all the
pomp and show, are starving for the
want Of a p~ittanee to buy bread.
The whole thing is a mockery to civ
ilization. How man can be sin
gIed out for so great an honor above
his fellow men is hard for an Ameri-
can to understand. Suppose King
George, instead of submitting to such
extravaganza had followed some
simple manner of putting the crown
on his head, If a crown he must have,
and had devoted all the money that
is now being spent, to the endow-
ment of some great charity for the
alienation Of the abject misery
among his subjects, what a great
name he would have received and
how his memory would have beer
kept fresh throughout the ages in
the pages of history. The distri-
button of wealth is the great prob
lem of today the world over.

HIGH SCHOOL NAME HIDDEN.

The EVENING NEWS has been
asked to say a word about the vines
that have spread over the entrance to
the high school completely hiding
the lettering telling what the build
ing is. 1t is pointed out, and with
good reason, that a stranger visiting
the city or passing through, cannot
tell whether the structure is a school,
a hospital or some other institution.
The vines climbing over the walls
make a pretty appearance, but it
ought to be possible to cut away
enough to show the lame Of the
school over the entrance. An In
terested citizen asked the NEWS to
mention the matter, thinking that
it was purely an oversight that the
name High School" has been al
lowed to be hidden. The citizens are
justly proud of their high school
and they want it easily identified by
everybody.

HEARING ON GRADE CROSSINGS,

Perth Amboy is greatly interested
in the appeal of Elizabeth for better
protection at the grade crossings of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
in that city. The matter is being
gone into thoroughly before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission sitting in
Newark. The city has facts and fig
ures showing the great number of
people using the crossings during the
day and also telling the average
speed of the trains.
The railroads side puts great
stress on the fact that the company
has made an offer to the city to
abolish the grade crossings if the
city would share in the expense.
The hearing is not yet over, being
continued until next Friday.
While Elizabeth Is a much larger
city than Perth Amboy, and natu-
rally would show more traffic over
the crossings, yet the fact that the
death traps in this city are on our
main streets makes the matter here
all the more serious. 1t is only a
question of time before Perth Am
boy will be making the same fight
Elizabeth is now engaged in-proba-
bly, we must have a bad accident
first and the outcome of the hear
ings now on will have an important
bearing on the result.

Commenting on the efforts being
made by the Board of Trade to get a
reduction in the price Of gas in this
city, the Trenton Times says:
Perth Amboy's Board of Trade
has been Investigating the subject Of
gas prices, and finds that no other
city in New Jersey pays as much as
Perth Amboy, where the price Is
$1.40 per thousand cubic feet. Perth
Amboy has a population of about
$4,000, and the appeal to the Public
Utility Commission that is to be
made should bring about a reduction
that will put the consumers of that
city at least on a par with those of
many smaller and less progressive
municipalities"
