Wants Sewers Improved.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Several letters have appeared in your
Rostrum complaining of the inactivity
and negligence of the Newark Board of
Works. | do not believe in hitting a
man when he is down" but there is just
one thing that | would like to bring to
the attention of the board, which | be-
lieve your other contributors have over
looked. | refer to the abominable con
dition of the levers of this city. Al
though they were bad enough pre-
viously, the almost ceaseless rain which
has been falling for the past week
has made them absolutely unbearable.
In nan cases the sewers have over
flowed and formed unhealthy pools of
stagnant water. Most of these pools
are several inches deep and extend
from one curbstone to the other. This
forms an absolute barrier to pedes.
TRANS and proves a hindrance to
drivers.
l write this letter not to knock the
board. but in hopes that 1t will improve
conditions. CLIFFORD FERRIDAY.

DIDN'T KNOW HIS LEGISLATIVE BARN.

IN SSEMBLYMAN GERAN, of Monmouth County, the putative
T\ father of the socalled Geran primary election law, may be
pardoned if he does not recognize his own reputed progeny.
Assemblyman Geran called up the county clerk of Hudson yester
day to inquire the date provided by the act for petitions for the
Assembly to be on file. The assemblyman was under the impress
sion the date was September 6, The act names September 1, or
twenty-five days before the primaries. The ignorance of the in
PRODUCER of the Geran act of so important a detail in the bill as the
date of the filing Objections gives point to a criticism by former
Senator Wakelee yesterday in an open letter to a Bergen county
man who had Unfortunately lauded the legislation of last winter.
Mr.. Wakelee said: DO you think the members of the Legislature
even read, to say nothing of understood, the great mass of legisla-
ton which was rushed through? Do you stand for it all and will
you undertake to explain it? Laws were passed which will take
years for the courts to interpret and the people to understand

Suggestion for Park.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
When the Passaic river is finally
cleaned out, which now seems to be a
certainty, However remote, land along
the river banks will go sailing to 100
and 200 per cent increases in value.
A good high spot overlooking the
river would make an excellent site for
a park. and would 1t not be excellent
policy for the Park Commission to &C
quire such a plot now, when the land
is cheap, and not only get the benefit
Of the coming increase, but also have
time to get it into shape for the boom?

AOOtueF mp nj tut Gerhh 1hWs
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
If 1t takes more than ten days to
select election officers under one of the
provisions of the wonderful Geran act,
how many weeks will 1t take before
the results of the primaries are known
and how many months will loaf by
before the people will know who are
elected?
| am led to put this poser in view
of the fact that the local judges, Of
the Court of Common Pleas. the County
Board of Elections and a force of clerks
have been busy since a week ago last
Tuesday trying to get men to man the
polls. And their work is not yet lone.
So, if the primaries and the elections
swallow a proportionate amount of
time in getting at results, | wonder
how many days 1t will be before
Christmas, when the people will learn
the names of the newly-elected Of
hcials.
I've got an idea that the so-called
reform" wave will be a decidedly cold
one this year. B. W. r.

eTa HE opinion given by Attorney General Carmody, of New York,
that deposits in postal savings banks are subject to State
taxation, although the deposits in the private savings banks
are exempt by the State law, if ii holds good, will paralyze the postal
bank system in New York. The interest paid to depositors is only
2 per cent, and the tax would nearly eat up the interest, as the
assessment would be 100 per cent. AS billions of personal property
in New York escape assessment, the taxing of postal bank savings,
amounting to the confscation of nearly all the small interest paid
on them. would be an injustice too rank to be tolerated.

The Hole That Taft Built
by BEaToN BRALEY.

A large, fat man took a nice, new spade
And a great big hole in the earth he made.
He dug it 10 ng and he dug it wide
With plenty of elbow room inside,
And he chu ckled, Into this chasm deep
I'll tumble my enemies in a heap.
And greatly the land will my deed extoll
When 1 put my foes in this yawning hole!'

NO PAsSAIc oARSMEN NOW.

Sa HERE was a time when rowing clubs from the Passaic river
were represented in the regatas of the National Association
of Amateur Oarsmen and when the Passac river course was
the scene of a national regatta. But the pollution of the river and
its conversion from a pelucid and beautiful stream into a sewage
ditch changed all that. The foulness of the water forbade rowing
for pleasure and drove away the local rowing clubs After the
trunk sewer is in operation the river will gradually be cleeased and
then rowing clubs will organize to form a Passaic navy to train
Newark youth in the healthful art of rowing.

NAV ITH the commissioning of the new batheship Utah yester-

the Texas and New York will be much more formidable, and it is
now projected by the navy department to make the two battle
ships authorized by Congress last winter of 2S,500 tons, or 1900
tons more than the New York. These are the biggest and most
formidable vessels yet planned for or built by any government. How
soon shall we have a 10000 ton battleship?

Thomas Lee, aspirant to the DEM

the Sixth ward, has a method of cam
paigning which is original, Before
pledging a voter to support him at
the primaries he makes him promise
that whether he wins or Is defeated
they will always remain friends.
This idea has beer very pleasing to
the Sixth ward voters and has gained
for Mr.. Lee many loyal supporters.
