FOR PRACTICAL CITY DEVELOPMENT.

cTa HE scheme of city planning proposed by a committee of the
Board of Works will keep. While the talk is going on about
a residential boulevard the entire length of the city and lakes
and lagoons on the meadows the city authorities can go right ahead
with the definite and practical plans that have been adopted for
public betterments. The Newark meadows is a property now I'M
developed. The tract is dedicated to manufacture and commerce.
The first object sought is to get possession. fill in the ground by
excavating a canal, and constructing docks and piers. If there is
any room, or, in fact, any occasion, for lakes and lagoons they can
be provided in the future. The old cookbook recipe for cooking
a goose began with the formula, First catch your goose" We must
first secure the meadows and water front before anything can be
done. To get the meadow property the city will now institute con
demnation proceedings in the case of all property which the Board
of Works may be unable to purchase. There have been delays be
yond all reason in carrying out the magnificent project of meadow
and bayfront development, and further procrastination will create
an imperative public demand for a harbor board to take entire
charge of the work. There is no time to lose. New York proposes
TO develop a great water front on Jamaica bay, and there is energy
behind the enterprise. Boston will make large harbor improve
ments, with a view to taking commerce from congested New York
harbor. Newark, with her unrivaled advantages, has only to reach
out and take the rich commercial prize and with it, also, a vast
industrial wealth. There is nothing visionary in the development
to secure these benefits, and Newark would perpetrate insensate
folly If it should waste precious time in pottering over fanciful
projects.

RIPPING w TIE NEWLY-pAYED s1REE1s.

IT T is evidence enough of a slovenly departmental system when
streets are extensively paved and are soon afterward ripped
up by public utility corporations to lay wires and pipes. Street
pavements thus disturbed are seldom properly relaid, and the re-
suit is a general damage that calls for constant patching at the
public expense. Some years ago, after private propertyowners had
torn up newlypaved streets to make sewer and pipe connections.
. rule was made for notice to be served on owners to have all such
connections made before the pavement of a street was laid. The
ruie should strictly hold good for corporations that use the streets.
il is rather late in the day for the Board of Works to discover the
necessity OF requiring a corporation to have some respect for the
cltys interests IN newlypaved streets i'll laying its wires under

PAY FOR NATIONAL GU4PDsMEM.

cnN HE next step in the relations of the Federal government to
Ii the National Guard should be a provision for the pay of
guardsmen for the time spent in actual performance of duty.
The plans of the wal department contemplate an increased amount
of duty for the National Guard and it will not be practicable to
carry them out unless some fair rate of pay can be provided as
partial compensation to officers and men for their loss of time. A
Federal pay bill was introduced in the last Congress and passed the
House, but although reported favorably in the Senate il got stalled
there and was not acted on. The bill can be passed at the present
session if the Democratic program in the House is not too strictly
interpreted. What is asked of Congress is that National Guards
men shall. receive onefourth the rates of pay of officers and enlisted
~ in the regular army. but only for actual service. That is a fair
ue"ahd and Federal policy favors il.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL Is, 1911.


cTFa HE last word has been said on the RecordGeran bill, which
will be passed by the House of Assembly next Monday night,
and will then become a law of the State. The proof II the
pudding is the eating thereof. We know this bill only in theory.
In practise it is entirely unknown. Its provisions are profoundly
distrusted by the majority of the legislators who have voted to
enact it. Not 5 per cent. of the voters of the State have any com
prehension of the bill. They will have their first knowledge of 1T
when it goes into operation, in the same way that they had no
knowledge of the voting machine act until they found themselves
embarrassed and INSTRUCTED by that machine at the polls, In a
few months the new election law will govern elections in the State.
Until the people have had a practical demonstration of it criticism
must necessarily cease. The people of New Jersey will pass upon
the law, and for the first time, after they have tried it.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.
With great. interest 1 read in your
papers that the police commissioners
have demanded that the chief of police
see that the saloons observe the clos
ing hours as prescribed by law. have
personally seen violations and have
wondered how it could have escaped
the attention of the police. 1t is no
secret that large concerns in the heart
of the city openly violate the law.
Can 1t be possible that the police beads
have closed theI eyes,, or is it that the
patrolmen did not see the men enter
ing and leaving the drinking places?
| do not wish to criticise the work of
the police department in the least, but
do thlnk that they could at any time
see that the saloons are open ana doing
business If this great beneficial law
We're enforced it would surely prove a
boon to many families. Let the polioe
be active and spare themselves the
humiliation of continued criticism.

Public shonIa Cooperate.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The result of the work of the New
ark Anti-Tuberculosis Association dur
ing the past year. as told in the Eve
ming STAR recently, shows the work
ers of that association are taking more
interest in the movement than the ber-
efciaries,s who are the people of New
ark. Gradually the association is get
ting stronger each year and beconi-
ing better known, But considering the
end In view. the interest taken by the
public is not one-fourth of what Is
should be.
The contagious characteristics of tu-
berculosis do not have to be further
explained to the reading public, and
the mortality due TO this dread dis
ease is we'll known. To fight the dis
ease in Newark an association was
started that bids fair to come as near
eliminating the white plague as is pos
sible--if the cooperation of the public
is given.
AS the. people themselves are the ones
to benefit by this work, il is but a
part of their duty to help in all the
enterprises of the Newark Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association. They should carry
out the instructions which would make
everyday conditions sanitary n
healthful and assist in making The
general rules of sanitation as we'll
known as the rules OF a factory or
business house of any kind. These
things are necessary first TO carry out
the intentions for which the local as
ISOLATION was instituted. AS every
body knows, the report which was
made out recently by the representa-
tives of the association requires the
time and labor of an Office force TO
keep the statistics and carry on the
mechanical part of the work. These
things require other help than good
will, and the Newark Antl-Tuherculosis
Association Is one of the best invest
ments in the world for the resident,
for 1t comes right back to him with lots
of interest.

CONSUMPTION SAID TO
Be CURED BY POMONA

Claims are daily sent saying that
this vegetable compound perfects cure.
The below quoted letter speaks OF
one Of the wonderful results obtained
from using POMONA.
Mrs. Efie A. Telford Of Fort Smith,
Ark, under date Of Oct. 28th, 1908,
writes In part;
~ developed tuberculosis in its most
aggravated form. and after spending
the summer and winter in Canada and
New Orleans, La, under the care OF
two physicians without improvement.
In December l was given POMONA
for Consumption. After taking fifteen
bottles | was completely cured. The
physician who examined me some
months later said he could find no
trace Of the disease. / I'M now strong
and well and have no hesitancy in rec
%ommending POMONA to those suf'
fering from tuberculosis"
This medicine was compounded
upon a scientific theory, that is that a
healthy body would help and force q
weak organ to obtain strength. Pc
MONA is q tonic that builds and
gives relief to and p%erfects
the condition so that nature can
take its proper steps to rid the body
Of this disease.

He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size Of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc

STRIKERS SEEK ARBITRATION
New Orleans Headquarters Sends Out
Report.

New Orleans, La.-An appeal to arbi-

striking employees of the Hartman lines,
according to statements made at the
headquarters of the strikers in this city.
While w. Z. Bowen, general secretary
of the federation of employees of the
Illinois Central railroad, declined to be
quoted, it was admitted by Others at
the headquarters that the national Off
GERS of the federation are considering
arbitration as a means Of bringing the
conflict between the men and the rail
road to an end.
The report that arbitration is to be
resorted to follows suggestions made by
a committee recently named by Gov.
Hooper of Tennessee. This committee, it
is said, suggested a possible agreement
on the demands of the federation if the
body would consent to waive the tech
meal recognition of the federation.
