shame. however. we did our part
in keeping the disgrace from the
public. We think the Board Of
Health last year was grossly neg
ligent of duty in not pushing sew
er legislation. The same applies to
the Sewer Commission. We think
the Board and Council are not
doing their full duty in permitting
pig pens in town limits when there
is an ordinance against it.
We do not approve of the order
ing wells of the poor closed and
permitting cess pools Of the rich
to overflow, which those in au-
thority. say is the cause of this
contamination To smile at the de-
feat of the sewer for petty and
absurd differences. which with
any decent idea Of compromise
and idea for public welfare could
have been adjusted. is not in keep
ing with our idea of good citizen
ship.
The writer's comment on the
State Board Laboratory. however
shows lack of information of the
working Of that department. .Ac-
cording to our understanding. the
sanitary conditions of Newark are
no more under the jurisdiction of
nor are those in charge to be held
responsible. than any town in the
State. The laboratory is for the
use of the physicians and several
local boards Of the State. If our
local board needs the advice or
assistance Of the laboratory off
cials. they are at their command.

TRAIN SERVICE

In our Peoples Column this
week will be found some indie
pendent talking. The criticisms
here expressed are. in the main.
well founded. We are always clad
to give space to these writings
They show an interest and great
~ assist in keeping needed i'm
provements before the people. Oft
times, however, in the failure to
sign the name Of the author. the
strength Of the argument is lost.
In this week s issue. our first let
ter is regarding Train Service. We
have been talking better train
service for Newark for over a
year and yet the people do not
seem to pay any attention to the
claim, that Newark is not getting
the recognition from the railroads
that she deserves During the last
ten years Newark has surpassed
any town in the State. both in
point of population and business
activity and yet, instead of in
creasing the number of trains
stopping here the railroads have
-oiisist'eiiti., i-iiorea the needs
and deserts of the town.
Individual complaints have
from time to time been ignored.
The announcement now comes
that the 12O b. & O. has been
cancelled. AS our correspondent
says, this is one of the most i'm
portant trains in the Is. & @. SER
vice. Something should be done
and done at once.
The fault is not all in the rail
roads. The railroads today show
IN almost every instance spirit
OF cooperation and desire to meet
the needs and wishes of the peo-
Newark post., 1911-11-29

pie. Never before have the rail
roads been so imbued with the
spirit of service. as today.
With presentation Of the need
for better train service. as express
sion of the idea of the representa-
tive citizens and business men Of
the town. we believe that the de-
sired result would be forthcoming.
This can be done only by some or
ganiZatiOn representative of the
town-a Board Of Trade or SINH
lar organization. If the railroads
persist in refusing this service. an
appeal can be made to Town
Council. This Council can make
the demand and, if necessary. by
coercive methods. force favorable
consideration. But until reason
able methods are tried. this is. to
our mind. entirely out of the PROV
ince Of Council procedure. The
Board of Trade can do if and it
comes well in their province. Men
of wealth and influence in the
town. who by little effort. could
do so much, sit idly by, and see
Newark grow lin spite of itself
without one effort in it's behalf. Is
it thoughtlessness. Indifference. or
selfish interests that causes this
apathy toward the common good?

PEOPLES COLUMN

Editor Of the Post: Is it not
high time that some emphatic and
organized protest is made against
the curtailment Of Newark 5 train
service on the b. & O.? The new
time card in effect last Sunday
takes from us the 7.20 p. m. ex-
press for Wilmington and Phila-
delphia which now stops only to
let off passengers from beyond
Washington. This train. it is true.
might be spared on weekdays be-
cause there is an express leaving
at 6.53, but on Sundays there is no
train and the 7.20 was therefore
the most popular train on that
day for weekend visitors wishing
to return to Wilmington or Phil
adelphia. Frequently in the
evenings in the summer and
fall from thirty to fifty passengers
would board the train at this
point. Now they must 90 either
at 3.O9 or at SIT, the latter being
Il miserable accommodation train
ill lighted and i'll smelling. and
generally behind time at that.
Few who have ridden to Philadel-
phia on that would care to repeat
the ordeal. Having been steady
patron Of the b. & O. for twenty
years or more, | know what | am
talking about when | say that
every change Of schedule the road
has made in the last ten years has
resulted in some impairment of
the service here. One by one the
number of express trains stopping
here has been decreased until
now on week days we can use only
three out of ten southbound; and
this Notwithstanding the fact that
Newark has for years been one of
the three best paying stations on
the line.
Where is our Board of Trade at
such a time as this? Or why can
not City Council take up this
question and intimate to the COM
pany that if it persists in ignoring
the right Of Newark to a good
train service it may become the
policy of Council to retaliate by
passing an ordinance compelling
trains to reduce their running
time to 10 or 20 miles an hour
through the town limits and to
maintain Watchman at night at
the North College Avenue cross
ing?
IT this We're in Pennsylvania or
New Jersey or New York. no
doubt the matter would be taken
before the public service commits
sion which would compel the road
to restore the train.

THANKSGIVING

AS the annual day Of Thanks
giving. set aside by men and ma
ton. approaches. we follow nat
urally our thoughts as they lead
lis in a spirit of reverent appre-
citation for the gracious blessings
received during the past year.
Health. happiness and material
prosperity receive due and proper
recognition. We lay aside the
sordid complexities Of the hour
and spend the day in thoughts and
acts corresponding to our training
and our nature. The man. asso-
ciated with the creeds of church,
attends service and bows in CRATE
Iul reverence to his God for all
His goodness; the man of nature,
walks out from the stress of office
duties. to the wood and field. and
dreaming perhaps Of boyhood
days. offers up thanks to his God.
Chords and voices Of Cathedral
choir, strains and breezes from au-
tumn wood join us all in this spirit
Of Thanksgiving.
Fathers blessing at Thanksgiv-
ing dinner, mothers expression of
peace and plenty-all show, in
some part and degree. the Spirit
Of the Times.
But thankful as we should be
and are. of all our blessings, do
we not sometimes forget that
greatest Of all-the health. ability
and opportunity to work?
All. you say, this is implied.
True. but let us give it more con-
crete expression Of the all. work
IS the greatest. Both. from the
power to do something for some
body. and for ourselves.
Blessed is the man who has
found his work. - He is the happy
man. Material prosperity is well,
kind words and appreciation from
friends are good. but work. the
thing. itself. is the real blessing.
Your plans may fail. your
friends forsake, but work will
hold attention still. Financial
stress. petty criticisms. and social
enimies cannot smirch the honor
Of the man who tolls. Grief for
time may subdue. sadness may dis
hearten, disappointment may
weaken, but neither nor all can
conquer the man who loves and
dignifies world s greatest blessing
work. And best Of all. the peace
and honor comes not from the
works. but the working; the bless
ing. not from the deed. but the
doing.
In our Thanksgiving let us
give recognition to the peace and
prosperity Of our State and ma
ton, the ever increasing realiza-
ton of our Ideals into Ideas-and
then, let us render thanks for the
privilege and dignity Of manly,
honest work. BLESSED is the man
who has found his work. Let
him give thanks.

THE TOWN LIGHTS

The letter on the electric light
service is sarcastic but has a
smack of truth in it that no one
can deny. That the light service
in this town is not a success can
be stated without fear Of contra
diction. Our opinion (take it at
your valuation) has always been
that the public utilities of this
town of its size can be operated
successfully. only by a Light and
Water Commission. The most
striking and successful example
Of this method has been for years
in successful operation at Milford.
The plant there. is run on busi-
ness basis. the same as privately
conducted enterprise. Until this
or some similar method is put in
practice here. the service will
never be a complete success nor
run on a paying basis. Try as
honestly and sincerely as they
may. no Council influenced as they
are, by town prejudices and poll
tics. can operate these depart
ments successfully. The chair
man of these different depart
ments are hampered by other
members Of Council who are not
acquainted with the details of
management.
The members of the committee
on Electric Lights should have full
authority to hire whomsoever
they deem best fitted to do the
work. And until they have this
authority and the support of their
colleagues. their efforts can be
only partly successful. If they
are compelled to hire incompetent
help as political favor to some
other member. all the time, energy
and attention to details are of no
avail. This we wager. is one of
the causes of trouble here today.
1t is the failure Of every Council
A Light and Water Commission of
five members elected for Cor APP
pointed until revision Of charter
a term of five years with full
power. responsible for business
administration. is to us a remedy
for our service. In a term Of five
years, a new member elected
every year. we would have a
board that knew the business and
how best to handle it. AS it is,
a committee appointed for two
years, when almost always. the
term expires. no one could expect
nor manage it to its greatest eff
cheney. Aside from this. as we
said before. each new committee
has some friend to put in position
or Council fails to support com
petent men. and the utilities are
run either at a loss or with unsat-
isfactory service.
This commission idea is no
tangled notion of the Post. but
tried and proven experiment.
Other towns have had the same
trouble that we are experiencing
today and the commission idea put
into effect has remedied the de-
fects. decreased the expense, and
improved the service. Some day
Newark will try it.
