Mayor j. f. Elder Today Outlined
improvements Which viii be IN
dertaken In 1912 by
the City.
TO CLOSE 1911 WORK
Contracts Have All Been Completed
With But TWO Exceptions-New
Contracts to be Made
This Winter.

With contract work for the year
practically closed, Mayor j. F. Elder
today outlined new street work which
will be done in 1912, contracts for
which will be entered into this winter
in order that the work may start as
early in the spring as weather condi.
tions permit.
Under the old contracts little work
remains to be done, including block
between Third and Fourth on Bank
and an alley in the one hundred block
In reviewing the past years work
Mayor Elder said:
I'VE have put in twenty new blocks
including macadam and paving, about
six miles of new gutter and 5000 feet
of sewer. Thirty new intersections
have been made and We expect tc
work all winter with screenings and
drag. This is more work than the city
has ever done in the way of street i'm

Renew Steep Hills.

the commissioners is renewing Main
and Johnson streets on the hills. Both
of these streets are much travelled
and the commissioners are anxious
to put them in the best possible shape.
Bank street is also to be macadamized
on the hill.
Blondeau street is to be paved with
brick between Fifth and Sixth, this
being the block left open this year
when improvements on that street
were made. Two intersections will be
included in this work, one being on
Fifth and the other on Sixth.
This will give Blondeau paved
stretch from Fourth to Seventh.
Grand avenue which has not been
improved for a long time will be sur
faced from Sixth to the park. At the
present time there are many holes in
the street which will be eliminated by
the repair.
Orleans from Fourteenth to Fit
lteenth is to be improved, thus giving
good entrance to the rear gate OF
Rand park. During the present year
the block from Thirteenth to Four

For some reason upaccountable to American newspaperdon Edward F. Mylius, the man convicted in London as the traducer of King George, has been denied the notoriety of the camera.

NEW JERSEY PROGRESSIVE.

1t Is often said that a man Is
known by the company he keeps.
The same might be said of states.
Information recently sent out by the
National Progressive Republican
League gives some interesting facts
on the progress being made by the
popular government movement.
This is of interest to Jerseymen for
1t shows what company we keep.
For some time It has been recog-
nized that the West has been lead
ing the East tn the matter of restor-
ing the government to the people.
The laws OF Oregon and Wisconsin
In particular have been referred to
as models for the other states, while
Kansas, Nebraska and others of the
middle west are not far behind.
In the information already re-
ferred to 1t is significant that all the
states that have enacted progress
i've legislation are In the West ex-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Belfeving that
i Indianapolis commission firms COM
bined to maintain high prices by keep
ing down the supply Of farm products,
Mayor Shank brought a car load of po-
tatoes from Wisconsin and sold them
at cost, plus a small sum for buying,
handling and delivering. In less than
a week the price Of potatoes dropped
30 per cent. as a result. The mayor
has now proposed to the council that
it authorize the employment of a
municipal buyer to follow the sale
prices of the dealers and the prices
charged by producers.
Il am convinced" the mayor said,
that If rs of our leading cities would
do this the combines that maintain
high prices could be broken. There
are thousands and thousands Of bush
els Of pears and apples going to waste
In the orchards of Indiana because the
commission firms plan TO keep the
visible supply down aid keep up the
prices. The same conditions exist In
other strtas and cities

No one need be at a loss
how to vote. There are three
candidates for the assembly
who are pledged to all the re
forms Woodrow Wilson
stands for. One of these
three has been tried and prov
en- true. A vote for them is a
vote for popular government
and against the special inter

elections in New Jersey and a
free expression at the polls of
the popular will.
The issue is clearly drawn.

TELEGRAPH FACILITIES.

Now that the Western Union Tel
.egraph Company has moved to new
quarters and is thoroughly estab-
Iished, 1t Is time to look for some
of the changes that have been
promised. Perth Amboy Is entitled
to something better than 1t is get
ting. Evidently the company's Of
feials made promises for the time
being, feeling that the agitation
would die out and that they would
be permitted to conduct their Office
here as formerly.
Perth Amboy is looked upon as
being easy" by many public utility
corporations and the telegraph
company evidently thinks that it
can play the same tricks. It is time
we awoke and insisted that we have
what a city OF this size is entitled
to in the way of telegraph facilities.
This we are not getting now, while
other cities. somewhat smaller than
we, have all the advantages. This
Discrimination could not exist If
Perth Amboy would Insist that It be
stopped. The matter should not be
allowed to drop.
