NOW YIELDING REVENUE.

Old Dispensary Buildings in Columbia
Now Produce about Three Per Cent
Income on Investment.
The Sinking Fund commission feels
very we'll satisfied with the way in
which the buildings on west Gervias
street, formerly occupied by the State
dispensary, have been temporarily
disposed Of, no purchaser having ap-
peared at the minimum price fixed by
the general assembly. $4,000. The
arrangement which the commission
now has In force Is yielding a revenue
OF between 21a and per cent on
$4,000, whereas, until this arrange
ment was effected, the plant was not
only a dead load, yielding no return
upon the money tied up in it, but
watchmen had to be maintained day
and night for its protection and high
insurance premiums were being paid
for the same purpose.

Yesterday was a day of jubilee and
fun making on the big bayou planta-
ton of p. p Byrd three miles west
of the city on the macadam road.
More than a hundred negroes of the
Byrd plantation We're guests of Mr..
Byrd on this occasion, as we'll as
large number of we'll known white
residents of the city who went out
In automobiles yesterday morning
and spent the day.
The affair was the annual barbecue
and picnic which Mr.. Byrd tenders
his negro hands each summer. They
come at the time Of year when the
hardest part of the farm work is over
and the watermelons are ripe in the
fields. The negroes look forward to
the barbecue as one of the best holt
days of the year while Mr. Byrd and
family and large number OF his
friends find great pleasure in attend
ing the big feast and hearing The mi
que program which the plantation
negroes offer The barbecue and in

The barbecue yesterday was a re-

barbecue and festivities.
The program by the farm hands
took up a greater part OF the time
in the morning, the darkies speaking
from a scaffold platform. Their
audience OF Pine Bluffians, whose
ears are better trained TO the voice
of a noted opera singer or the voice
of distinguished tragedienne. in
terestingly heard the various talks
and solos of the. eolored artists,
unique in their individuality and in
lmltaoie plantation dialect, from rude
benches before the platform Each
speaker was loudly applauded and
returned to his seat on the tiny plat
form with grin that would put Al
G. Fields and the rest of those min
strel boys TO shame.
II was sincerely regretted that
several of the negroes scheduled TO
take part in the program were absent.
The absence of some speakers who
have performed in the past was
keenly felt. col. Adam Spann. who
was on the north side OF the river,
was unable to get TO the barbecue
owing TO the nigh water. Adam was
scheduled for little burst oratory

PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN.

The following communication In
the New York Herald yesterday re-
garding Fairgrounds might well re-
fer to Perth Amboy although 1t can
not be said that we have a super
fluffy of Libraries:
The glory and shame Of New
York city Is markedly shown by its
superfiuity of libraries and a most
striking lack of Fairgrounds for its
100000 children.
Now that the heated season is
upon us and the long summer vaca-
tion at hand, every effort should be
made by all citizens, as we'll as par
ents, to provide additional recrea-
ton centres for the rising genera
ton, those necessitous and clamor-
GUS wards of the public.
How to accomplish this is a prob
lem that must be speedily solved,
not only for health and well being
of the pupils of our public schools
and educational institutions, but also
for the peace and comfort of those
residents whose business will detain
them in the city during July and
August.
Surely it is neither Christian nor
human to permit our little ones to
play at the risk of their lives in our
congested streets, which even adults
find perilous, crowded as are with
automobiles, motor cycles and cars.

Ride out State street, through

avenue after school hours and you
cannot help but be convinced that
the care Of the children of the city
in order to keep them off the streets
is one of our greatest needs. Be-
cause the streets already mentioned
are most congested with traffic, ex-
cepting Smith street and possibly
Amboy avenue, the playground, if
possible should be located somewhere
in the vicinity of these thorough
fares where it can be of the great
est good to the greatest number.
Every progressive city in the
country is taking steps along this
line and 1t is a matter of congratula-
ton that Perth Amboy has Joined
the ranks. Roland S. Haynes, field
secretary of the Playground Associa-
ton Of America. is now In this city
and he is going to address an open

1t is to the interest Of everybody to

DIVIDING ELECTION DISTRICTS

DIVIDING ELECTION DISTRICTS.
There seems to be some misun-
Outstanding regarding the Geran
law in connection with creating new
election districts. The law says that
where more than 400 votes were
polled in any one district, that dis
trict shall be divided so that no dis
trict shall contain over $50 register
ed votes. Among the districts in
Middlesex county that have divided
into two polls are Cranbury and
Jamesburg. The figures for the cleo
ton last year showed that, for gov
ernor, Cranbury cast, for the Re
publican and Democratic candidates
combined, 1922 votes, While there
doubtless were a few votes for some
of the minor party candidates, yet
my OOulu hdiuiS NC SullCleHl 10
bring the total vote cast last year
over 400.
In Jamesburg last year there were
but 307 votes cast for the Republi-
can and Democrat candidates for
governor combined. Here, too, the
vote cast for the smaller party can
didates a hardly bring the total
over the number fixed by the new
law as the dividing figure. AS each
poll will cost the county about s16S
it is evident that no more polls than
are necessary should be allowed.
We heartily approve of fixing the
limit at $50. Heretofore 1t has been
600 which was entirely too many,
not only crowding the voters, but
causing considerable delay in the
count after the polls are closed. AS
long as the law says a poll shall not
be divided until there have been 400
votes cast, no district should be al
lowed to divide until that figure has
been reached. Local committeeman
in both Jamesburg and Cranbury
have notified the county chairman Of
at least one party that they have d.
vided their respective districts and
have named candidates for election
officers foe each poll. 1t is possible
that when the matter is settled the
naIsSHin be combined as candidates
