Indor.es municipal Ice PLANT.

Endorses Municipal Ice Plant.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Allow me to congratulate you upon
the approval which has met Dur sug-
gestion for a municipal ice plant In
the Pequannock valley. The idea is a
splendid one and I am glad to see that
not only the general public has COM
mended it, but the Board of Works Is
about to take some action in the mat
ter. There is every reason to believe
that the enterprise will be successful,
as there is nothing impractical about 1t.
Not only will the poor and needy be
provided with ice from this municipal
plant, but the STAR will have dealt
a d%eathblow to the ice trust in this
part of the State at least. There are
no words in our vocabulary to ade-
quately describe the monsters which
control the ice trust and which, when
the heal is most intense, raise prices.
The Rev. L. S. Osborne in his now
famous damn letter to the Evening
STAR simply forgot or neglected ID
ask If the motion he was making was
unanimous. He told it right.
May your municipal ice plant become
a reality in a short time. Wishing you
all the success you deserve. TOAG.

Declare. Trial. Absurd.
Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I was an interested listener at the
meeting of the police commissioners
yesterday afternoon. To say that the
method of conducting trials is absurd
is treating it lightly. A man named
Murphy accused an officer of striking
him. From the very outset the COM
missioners viewed the case in a sort of
hazy manner
President Kane was very particular
in drawing from Murphy questions
which would stand in good favor of the
officer. When the officer told his story
the commissioner gave him points to
help along. The patrolman admitted
taking the man into the hallway,
dropping him down and just walking
away. The story went, for the patrol
man was found not guilty.
In the case of an officer who was
taken sick while on duty and went
home the commissioners fined him five
days pay. Testimony was introduced
by physicians, who averred that the
mar was overcome by the heat. The
two cases. are examples of the commits
sioners' work.
1 wish more citizens would only DROP
in and listen. It's worth their while.

BE READY TO COMBAT
CHOLERA, ADVISES DOTY,
Health Officer Fears 1t May
Break Out in America.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Dr. Alvah H.
Doty, health officer of the port of New
York, in discussing the cholera in
Europe and Asia yesterday, said that
it was among the probabilities that the
disease might appear in New York or
some other part of the United States
in the next few months, but he said
that it would be quickly under control,
owing to the rigid sanitation in effect
in American cities.
The chances of an isolated case get
ting into this country are very remote,
DR.. Doty said, owing to the splendid
efficiency of the United States Marine
Hospital service, whose doctors and
agents are now on guard in every
cholera-infected port in Europe.
I'VE know now tat cholera is not
transmitted through the air" said DR..

THE Fly A MENACE
To PUBLIC HEALTH
Urgent Need of Laws Regarding
Sanitation in Every

Every community should have a SAN

proper building. and the regular re-
nova of excreta.
For the destruction of fly eggs and
larvae In privies. where 1t proves i'm
possible to enforce tho building of really
sanitary ones, DIR. Howard suggests:
Kerosene. however, should be used.
not SO much as a preventive. but as a
means of destroying the eggs and lar
vac. In communities like mill towns,
where the majority of the flies breed
in the privies owing to the lack of
horse stables and horse anure, and
1t be found impossible to compel thu
construction of new sheds. the use Of
kerosene on the dejecta will be effec-
tive"
DR.. Howard also reports:
I'm 1906. the Paris journal LIE Matin
offered a prize for the best methods of
destroying flies. The competition at
tracted a great deal of attention, which
was fostered by the newspaper by fre-
quent articles. The prize was finally
awarded to an anonymous writer who
proposed to pour green oil of schiste
in privies and upon n piles, mix
ing it in the latter case with earth or
lime. The Oil of schiste is a crude
petroleum found in Europe. In the
number of July 10, 1907. the paper
stated that this proceeding had given
excellent results and that flies had
disappeared wherever 1t has been ap-

AS government entomologist, Dr..
Howard has had to experiment with

zone experience of the writer con-
sisted in an effort to keep the stables
of the United States department OF
agriculture at Washington in a strictly
sanitary condition. The manure was
swept up and placed each day in 2

notable diminution of flies in all of the
buildings for hundreds of yards around;

From n Former Zee Dealer.

From n Former Ice Dealer.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
For many years l was engaged in the
ice business, and Imay be able to shed
some light upon the present situation.
The disclosures I am going to make are
all based on personal experience, and
as 1 am no longer in the business l
have nothing to gain or lose by them.
Natural ice can be harvested and
stored at an average rate of s cents a
ton. Now the difference between 8
cents a ton and 10 cents for a piece
not big enough to cool a pitcher Of
water is considerable. 1t is obvious that
the profit goes to the railroads, the
wholesalers and the retailers.
Artificial ice can be manufactured
right in the city for less han 81 a ton.
which means that there would be no
added cost of shipping and handling.
which causes so much loss. Truly, a
municipal plant is the only solution,
and 1 for one would be mighty glad
to invest money in bonds of such an
enterprise. FORMER DEALER.

JERSEY CITY ELECTION DILEMMA.

" It'll everything out of the way except the sale of 100000
WN of bonds for the final acquisition by Jersey City of the
Rockaway water plant by purchase, the commission gov
eminent proposition arises to make new complications possible.
BY the decision of the Errors Court Jersey City is granted four
months in which to pay the $7000000 for the plant. The money
must be raised by a bond issue authorized by a special election.
If a new municipal government shall be provided for in next Tues
days election the purchase will necessarily be left to the new com
mission, which will assume office only four weeks before the end
of the courts time limit. Four weeks would not be sufficient time
in which to legally pass al ordinance under the usual requirements
to hold a special election and then advertise and sell the bonds.
In case of default the water plant would remain with the water
company, and a new deal might cost several millions more for the
city. But perhaps some means of escape from this dilemma will be
suggested at the meeting advertised in Jersey City tonight.

NOW FOR THE TRUNK SEWER.

cma HE Passaic Sewerage Commission is now in q position at last
to go right ahead and cause the dirt to fly in the Passaic
valley in the construction of the long promised trunk sewer.
Paterson, as well as all the other municipalities that border ON the
river, have become contractors for the sewer, the plans are all
ready, the ground has been carefully studied and there can be
nothing to fear from the opposition from New York, which has
degenerated into an impotent growl. The coming in of Paterson
was inevitable from the first. The influences that prevailed in the
Paterson municipality to make the long delay have discredited the
city, which has been compelled to stand in its own light all these
years and also do injury to its neighbors in the Passaic valley. But
the end has come, and the redemption of the Passaic is near.

Allow me to make a little comment
on a very interesting article which I
read in you praiseworthy Rostrum
column. I refer to the letter of
Jersey" in regard to docking the Gov
errors salary when he is out of the
State. Jersey is right when he says
that the law does not allow the Gov
ernor to draw salary while he is out
side of the State. Now, in the interest
of the people and not from any enmity
towards Governor Wilson, why isn't
the law enforced? I think the people
put up with too much of the same
kind of laxity. NORWEGIAN.
