DUST is HEAVY ON
COUNTY HIGHWAYS.

Dust. covering thickly the streets ct
the city. is proving to be q great an
noyance to store-keepers, residents and
pedestrians. Many complaints have
been made, and it is the general opin-
ion that something should be done at
once to relieve conditions. The county
roads, especially. are coming In for q
great deal Of criticism. Although there
have been showers and several heavy
rains recently the streets have quickly
dried, and the high March winds have
scattered the dust, to the general an
noyance of everyone.
Freebooter Evans, chairman of the
committee on county roads. has al
mitted receiving numerous complaints,
but declares that the only relief he has
been able to give is to have the dirt
scraped off the surface of the nam
roads leading into the city. These
roads are usually oiled sometime dur
Ing the summer. This work is gener-
ally done about June or July. The bef-
efts derived from this are but tern
porary, and during the spring n later
part of the summer the dust has
brought forth many complaints. Free
holder Evans declares that the roads
cannot be oiled for some time, as there
is no money on hand and none will be
available for this purpose until the
budget shall have been made up and
passed in May.

URGES REFERENDUM ON
GERAN ELECTION BILL

Anent the Geran bill, which is to be
given a public hearing by the Senate
elections committee at Trenton next
Tuesday, the Paterson Call today says:
1T has been claimed that the people
want it, but this is merely an arrogant
assumption, without the slightest war
rant in fact. The best way to deter
mine whether or not the people want
it is to give the people a chance to say
SO at a referendum election, n if a
majority of all the voters favor 1t then,
of course, it cannot be denied that the
people want it, With the exception Of
a few hide-bound administration
organs. the Democratic papers them
selves are beginning to see and admit
the inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies
of the s and are urging material
amendments in the Senate. 1t is now
certain that If it goes through the Sen
ate at all, these material amendments
and changes will be made, and then it
will go back to the House to accept or
reject"
