THE OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT.

When the Board of Excise meets to-
night 1t will have an opportunity to
deal a severe blow to the great number
Of saloons Aesslnsss~aAshsA
city. The secret lies IN a high license.
We have already shown that Railway
and other cities are insisting upon high
licenses, asking for $4,000 as the min
imum. Il is a matter of eongratula-
ton to Railway that Judge Atwater,
in appointing two new excise commits
%sioners for that city, said that no new
licenses should be granted and that
the number Of saloons should be cut
down as rapidly as possible, suggesting
as a means of accomplishing this the
raising Of the license fee.
The local excise board has started
out, it is understood, to live up to the
platform announced prier to its cleo.
|tion and that means that they viii re
duee the number of saloons here Il
somewhat within the proportion tx
population that other cities have.
The excise board has also set a pre-
eedent in turning down one of tn,
saloonkeepers who pleaded guilty IL
excise violations. If the board is tt
convince the people that this was moi
done merely as a personal matter
aimed at this one man, as has beer
claimed, they win have to be con
~sistent and turn down other saloon
keepers who have also been fonnt
|. guilty of violations.
In connection with the publieit,
that the excise board has started GU
to give in connection with all its trans
actions, the greatest need is open vot
ing. If the board really means bust
mess it will take steps to at once abol
ish the system of voting on licenses
and will vote by the roll call and eacl
man respond, yes or no, as his, name j
mentioned, We have taken the excis
! board to be sincere in the recent moy
it has made toward remedying the con
HElNZEE
ditions here and we hope to see til
' work continued along the lines started
4 Let the people be convinced tina
they really mean to do what they sa
and they viii find hearty support o
a all sides.

THE PORT OF PERTH AmBoY.

A short time ago the Asbury Park
Press, in discussing the appointment Of
a collector for the port Of Perth Am
boy took occasion to belittle the inn
Iportanee of this port, and suggested
that the country would save money if
it were abolished altogether. II is
evident that our esteemed contempor-
airy along the shore is not aware Of
the great amount of business being
done by the custom house in this city.
We would direct the attention Of the
Asbury Park Press to the report of re-
ceipts at the local custom house for
the month of January, just closed. 1t
shows that ~$30,994.05 was taken in for
the government, as revenue on imports
here. When it is realized that this
is for one month alone, some idea of
the Importance of the port of Perth
Amboy, in connection with the total
income of the government, can be had.
The port of Perth Amboy is the
largest in New Jersey and ranks
among the first twelve ports of the
country as a source of revenue for
49, -N -"r."E #
Uncle Sam. For the benefit of the As
bury Park Press, and all other news
papers and persons who may be labor
ing under q delusion in connection with
the local port, we would call their at
~tention to the fact that there are sew
eral lines of steamships making reg
ular trips between South American
and the West midas points carrying
ore and crude asphalt to the smelters
in this vicinity; also occasionally a
vessel makes II trip from Africa or
some other far-off place, the cargoes
of which all mean big incomes to the
government in the way of revenue
The local custom house not only has
a collector in charge, but a deputy col
leetor and four inspectors. These men
are kept busy continually Watching
the unloading of vessels and attend
ing the clerical work connected there
with, The port of Perth Amboy is
growing rapidly, already plans are I'M
way for an additional line of
steamers to discharge at this port,
ARRIVING crude oil, which has just been
discovered in the great asphalt lakes
n Trinidad, to be treated at a big oil
efnery to be erected here by the
barber Asphalt Company.
