TELL OF HARM
TREATING
Peter A. Peterson, Chairman
of Civic Union Opposes 1t

That the treating system is dis
grace to Perth Amboy and has been
the means of populating the state
asylums, prisons, orphan homes ana
jails, and that it should be abolished
In the saloons here, is the opinion or
Peter A. Peterson, leader of the Civic
Union In their resent fight to elect
excise commissioners who would re-
form the excise conditions of the
city.
Mr.. Peterson has spoken to num-
ber of laboring men on this subject,
and he says they heartily approve the
position he takes. All clergymen,
both Protestant and Catholic, to
whom he has spoken, favor the Grad
ication of the system. Mr.. Peterson
also points to the fact that many
prominent clubs will not permit the
practice of treating in their rooms.
Mr.. Peterson thinks it would be
well that a public mass meeting be
called to discuss this, and other re-
forms, in the excise conditions of
Perth Amboy. He gave the following
statement to the EVENING NEWS
today:
"The election Of the Civic Union
Excise Board means that the voters
of Perth Amboy have decided two
things: That the present saloon sys-
tenn of this city is disgrace and that
reform should be brought about. 1t
is the duty of the new Excise Board
to obey the will of the people. Hence,
in order to learn definitely as to how
far the Excise Board should go 1T
would be a good idea for the citizens
to attend a mass meeting to discuss
| reform measures.
"I have heard number of Demo-
cratic laboring men favor the abol-
ishment of the treating system. All
clergymen, Protestants and Catholics,
| to whom / have spoken, favor. It's
abolishment. or course this will not
be favored by the brewers and liquor
dealers, but the people Will be great
| ly benefited by it.
"The ommissioners-elect are sure
| ly In favor of new measures which
will meet the approval Of the public.
They are not willing to do anything
unless approved by the community.
"The EVENING NEWS has shown
great interest in this matter and it
may be a good thing if the public
would express it's opinion on the sub
ject through its columns. II we wish
to know what effect the treating sys-
| tenn has. it will be wise to visit the
states prison, insanity asylums, or
phan asylums and the jails. If we al
agree that 1t is a great evil, why
should we continue it?

Miss Ada Merello, of 472 State
street, who was the central figure in
one of the most remarkable opera
tions ever performed upon eyes of a
human being in New York last week,
is slowly recovering at her home.
Having been afflicted with an ulcer
in the eye for several years, she and
her parents deemed it best to act on
the suggestion of an expert, and the
operation, although the first one of
it's kind ever known to have been
performed, was put through success
fully. Both eyes were removed,
treated and put back in place again
and Miss Merello is improving.
The operation, performed by DR..
Thompson at the Poly Clinic hospital
at 345 West 50th street, New York
city, on November II, has been pro-
nounced even more remarkable than
many of those conducted by some
230 clinics on the occasion of the

ARCHITECT SMITH BUSY
REAL ACTIVITY Is SHOWN

After a period of inactivity the
directors of the Hebrew Institute
held meeting at the home of Her.
man Ellis last night and showed re-
newed vigor and favor towards the
proposed erection of a $4,000 or
$4,000 building at Madison avenue
and Jefferson street. So decided and
determined are the directors to make
success of the Hebrew Institute
movement that fourteen signified
their willingness to advance $1,000
each to help erect the proposed
building in spring II the amount
donated by popular subscription does
not meet the required demands for
the erection of the building.
1t is the intention of the directors
to advance this money besides their
own donations, which vary, and to
have these funds returned to them
after the building Is erected and a
revenue can be procured from Its
use.
Architect Edward Smith has
drawn up the plans and specifica-
tions for the building, which are In
the hands of Director Nathan Jacob
son. Barnet Goldman Is chairman
of the building committee which will
advertise for bids next week for the
erection of the building.
1t is expected that every Hebrew
society in this city will join in the
movement, as many have already
done, and commence to work I'M
mediately so that there will remain
no doubt In the minds of any that
the building will be erected in the
spring.
The site for the Hebrew institute
has been secured ana TAgldls.f ~ ~
i Everyone agrees that a better Local
| ton than the one procured at Jeffef
son street and Madison avenue could
not have been bought for the pur-
pose. Enough funds have been raised
for the payment of the site, which
| has already been made.
| Reports will be heard from the
different societies as to their stand
in the movement at the next meeting
|of the directors which will be held
isome time next week. The building
|committee will also advise when the
directors should begin advertising
for bids and other matters of i'm
portance will be taken up.

MANY STITCHES
TAKEN IN EYES
OF LOCAL GIRL

Clinical Congress Of Surgeons Of
North America in the metropolis
week ago.
For almost three years expert sur
geons had been treating Miss Me-
relic. She often journeyed to New
York for medical attendance and ap-
parently everything possible was
done to save her eyes. She entered
the Poly Clinic hospital recently and
it was there suggested that an opera
ton be attempted. Surgeons had
previously been able to remove eyes
and operate upon them, but to re-
place was a stumbling block. Miss
Merello's eyes were removed, seven
stitches were played in one of them
and four in the other. They were re-
placed satisfactorily. Her parents
were surprised to find her able to re-
turn home On Friday
Miss Merello is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Merello and is
almost eighteen years old.

POOR METHODS
OF ASSESSING
Secretary Spencer of County
Tax Board Tells lnyestIga-
ting Commission Today.
MEET in NEW BRUNSWICK
Some Assessors Let Person
MEET IN NEW BRUNSWICK
Some Assessors Let Person
al Interest Come Before
Duty Friendship Figures

Methods of Middlesex county tax
liam A. Spencer, clerk of the County
Tax Board, in his talk before the
State Commission to Investigate Tax
Assessments at New Brunswick to-
day. He said some assessors let per-
sonal interest come before public
duty and others let friendship enter
into their public duty. He advocated
a smaller number of assessors, with
larger districts and more pay, SO
that assessors could work in but the
one position and give 1t all their
time.
The commission is investigating
most thoroughly into the methods of
valuing and assessment in this coun-
ty. The members questioned Clerk
Spencer and the two New Brunswick
commissioners, who appeared before
them today, most closely. In his
talk to the commission Mr.. Spencer
said Middlesex county assessors did
not devote enough time to assess
ment work under the present ar
rangement. He said they had other
work at which to earn a livelihood
anu DpOhS Oub llOlil SiA Cohp W w I
months on assessment work, where.
as he contended they should spend
more time on the tax work.
In stating he understood some as
SCISSORS let their personal interests
interfere with their public duties and
that some liked to stick to theil
friends, he also mentioned the report
that one man had heen an assessor
! for eighteen years and was trying tC
make a record of twenty-one years
| To do that, he maintained, the as
SCISSOR had to show favoritism and
keep valuations down in such fash
ion that he coudd repeatedly secure
his reelection.
Referring to pay Of assessors, Mr.
| Spencer said 1t was too small. He
stated the assessor at Helmetta re-
ceived but SIS year whereas thers
in New Brunswick got $500 each.
Farms in the county are assessed
lat the rate of 800 an acre, Mr.. Spen
Ger told the commission and only
two banks in the county pay tax or
shares. They are the national banks
of this city and New Brunswick.
