DUST NUISANCE
IS DANGEROUS
South Amboy People in Dan
ger OF Disease Germs.
Special to tbs EVENING YEWs.

EFSNfNh ~ nv " 80
South Amboy, Sept. f2.-In n
of the Philadelphia dailies there ap-
peared an account of conditions in
the Philippine Islands, among other
facts being that the percentage OF
tuberculosis was quite small on the
islands before the advent Of automo-
biles, but since the Introduction of
these vehicles and the consequent
stirring up of the dust in the towns,
impregnated more or less with the
tuberculosis germs, the percentage
of cases OF this dread disease has
frightfully increased, even cattle are
not immune from this scourge.
If this is the truth, what may be
expected of the towns and cities that
lie on the great thoroughfare from
the large cities to the sea coast, of
which the city of South Amboy is
one? The number of autos passing
through this city nearly every day is
almost continuous and along our
main streets the trees look as if
stricken with blight, so e~ncrusted are
they with dust from the streets
stirred up by the passing of auto
mobiles. Now, If autos will increase
tuc pei ttIIIdSre Vi LuDtl tuloolo taoCF
In the Philippines by spreading the
germ-impregnated dust will it not do
the same in our city? AS We have a
local Board of Health in city and
as this dust matter has been brought
before the council as q nuisance, Is
1t not about time our Board OF
Health took this matter up and, If
possible, compel the authorities tc
keep the dust allayed by sprinkline
or otherwise, to prevent our citizens
- from being compelled in passing
along the streets to breathe the all
filled with dust, said dust being i'm
pregnated with germs of divers dis
eases. eW as citizens have no rem
edy in this matter except through
u city officials in allaying the dust
in any way they think proper, and
they should not stop for any econom-
ical consideration for we know the
cost will be considerable. But what
Is a money cost when placed against
the health and lives of u citizens?
What is the use of building school
buildings and altering them to bring
about sanitary conditions that the
children may grow up healthy while
being educated, and permit oul
streets to be In conditions daily tC
spread diseases and ruin in the com
ing generation? Let us be consist,
ent along all linies as far as possible
where health is concerned.

man John p. Kirkpatrick. of James

dressed sixty members and friends
of the Spotswood Wilson and Mar
shall Club at the clubs headquarters
in the room adjoining Feldbaum'I

be taken Immediately to accommo~
date a larger crowd at the next

night, September 10, at which time
George L. Burton, a New Brunswick
attorney. will probably be present tc
discuss democracy. Mr.. Burton is a
candidate for the assembly.
In discussing the present state o.
affairs in the Democratic ranks, Mr..
Kirkpatrick vigorously scored for
mer United States Senator James
Smith, Jr., of Newark, who is a cas-
didate for the preferential vote or
September "a to this office. Mp.

trayer and traitor of the party and
urged all Progressive, Wilson and

to it that this state gives a splendid
majority to the present governor,
Mr.. Wilson. A~ssemblyman Kirk
patrick. although again a candidate.
did not make a direct appeal for the
clubs support. He said: Some Of
us are candidates for reelection. II
we have done we'll support us and
tell others to support us. If other
wise, tell us" Mr.. Kirkpatrick went
to school in ~Spotswood when a boy
