NECESSARY.

In attempting to justify their
action in creating the Office of vice
president of the Board of Alder
men, thereby placing the Office of
acting mayor In the hands OF Alder
man Dalton instead OF AIderman-at-
| Large Garretson, the Democrats in
sist that they were only acting In
accordance with the law as 1t
stands, and In order to legalize fu-
ture transactions on the part of the
city. But before the people can be
persuaded that the Democrats act
ed solely for the interest of the city
In this matter, it must be explained
why q vice president was not elect
ed Immediately after Albert
Boilschweiler resigned an mayor.
According to the contention Of
the Democrats the alderman-at-
large has no authority to act as
mayor, whatever. In this event It
would seem that all the municipal
transactions OF the past two months
which bear the signature Of William
d. Voorhees,, Is acting mayor. are IL
legal. 1t will seem strange to q
great majority of the people that
the commission of so important on
office as the vice president of coun-
Gil seems to be was not discovered
until a Republican was to fill the
Office of acting mayor.
At least the honorable thing to do
would have been to announce the
full purpose of electing a vice pres
ident at the outset. Surely, as the
Democrats had the majority OF the
council they had nothing to fear
about being unable to eleet their
man. The whole thing was kept
quiet, however, and even the alder |
men themselves, or at least a NUM-
Der of them, did not know what
they were voting for when the ae-
tiog to eseasa-A Vice president was
The fact lie. that thu position Of
president of the Board OF al
was provided for In ths
charter at the time whom the mayo
was the presiding ofacsr Of the
councii. This would make tho vice
president OF council next to the
mayor In authority. Since We have
been electing an aldsrman-at-large
however, there in every reason to
believe him to be the right
mar to take the mayors
vacated in any way Whatsoever. 1t
stands to reason that thu vice presi-
dent OF any body would not Ia 20
precedent over the president. 1t
looks az Il the Democrats have gone
d step too far In their partisanship.

OUR OLD CHARTER AGAIN.

Once more our antiquated city
charter looms up to plague us. This
historic document was passed by the
legislature OF 1870, SO that it Is now
~forty-two years Did. We al we'll
~lmagl1s what Perth Amboy looked
like forty-two years. STAG
street was then the western limits
or a little village. located along the
shore, the main Industry OF which
was oystering: 1t IL true the official
boundary covered a much larger ter
, ~. al wost oi state street
and north OF Fayette street we're
open fields and woods. The charter
may have been adequate for Perth
Amboy at that time, It issapparont
however, that It has been greatly
outgrown since.
1t has not only been outgrown,
II
but state laws have bean passed.
which makes many sections OF the
charter null and void and causes
considerable confusion and doubts
as to the other provisions. For the
past ten or fifteen years Perth AM
boy has been laboring under this
great handicap, but all efforts TO re-
wise the charter or to have a new
one adopted have failed. Besides
the office OF vice president. which
the charter provides for and which
has Just been brought prominently
before the public. there is also a
provision that there shall be SIX
councilmen besides the aldermen.
It Will be remembered that this fea-
&ure was revived during the agita-
tton for the sale of the wet dock
property. 1t has never been settled
satisfactorily whether there should
be q council body as well al alder
or not.
II w are to bring up any of these
old clauses In the charter. why not
produce them all and live up to the
document as a whole or and out the
reaspn why we cannot do so? This,
nc eoubt. would tend TO endless
confusion and legislation, but 1t is
only what Perth Amboy Is inviting
as long as she insists upon ciinging
to the old charter, passed f~orty-swo
years ago.
There Is q striking contrast be-
tween the present conditions In
Perth Amboy and the conditions
s,rae- tho ccza~ssun form OF gov

Immediately after the stock holders meeting. the directors held meeting and elected officers for the ensuing year. in most instances both directors and officers being re- elected.
 The following named were elected directors: George NJ. Hahn of Phoc- nix. Epes Randolph of Tucson, John R. Hampton of Clifton. Lloyd E. Christy, E. E. O'Neill and George A. Mntz of Phoenix; l.. A. Sawyer Of Wnslow: T. G. Norris and A. J Pickerel of Prescott: Louis MclcZcr of Phoenix: J. G. Spangler of Mesa City: Albert Steinfeld of Tucson; Geo. A Olney of Stafford; David Babbitt of Flagstaff and w. Ben nett Cough of Phoenix.
 The officers chosen were: George NJ Hahn. president; Epcs Randolph. first vice president; J. C. Spanglcr of Mesa City, second vice president: Lloyd E. Christy of Phoenix, treas urer; w. Bennett Cough. secretary and manager.
 Manager Cough stated to the d. rectOrs that owing to the successful operations of the company during the past year he thought it @ wise policy to enter other states for busi- ness where the field seems prOmis- ing, but to do so would require q larger surplus than the company yet had. Thereupon the directors them selves added s115.000 to the cash surplus. which included added per sonal subscriptions to the treasury stock of the company to the amount of S5O,OOO. to be paid for in c1sh at the present selling price of stock. s2 per share. without the payment of d cent of commission to anybody This gives the company cash as sets amounting to s375,O00 and en- abes the desired expansion of its business field, which in return will return a larger income.

From the report of the president it is learned that the company dur ing the past year has invested $l04.- 0OD in first mortgages in Arizona; has bought Arizona bonds to the amount of $SG.000. including $30,000 of the Phoenix sewer bonds and eX- poets to invest at least $130.000 dur ing the next two months in Arizona school bonds. soon to be placed on the market.
 The income of the company from premiums during the past year was SS6.

If the state of Arizona creates such q de- partmcnt properly regulated, it will be the preference of the company to make such deposit here. The prospects of the company were never 50 bright. and the way in which the directors reached for more stock yes terday at twice the par value, and paid for it in cash. indicates their faith in it as an investment.

DENEEN
 TRIED A CURE
World Owed Him a Living Which Young Man Col lected from Trusting Friends By Means of "Phony" Checks.

Being OIoke and realizing that the world owed him a living James De- ncen started out to collect it.
 James had very good success. and iu a few moments had collected that share of his living owed by the world as represented by the Boston Store, New York Store, the A. E. C. Shoe store. MCDougall and Cassou, and GoldberS Brothers.
 To cheer his creditors mp DeneeI made it a point to make some Small purchase at each place giving in eX- change a check made in favor of Jas. Deneen. and signed by one Herbert A. Christy. In the lower left hand cor ner of these checks was notation which stated they were drawn for two weeks pay
 The checks were all for s22 except the one negotiated at the Kew oTrk store which was for $2G. The total amount secured is $ll4 less the pur chase which in no instance amounted to more than few dollars
 After successfully putting through the first check Deneen would refer each store to the previous establish- ment where he had been accommodated. There information that he had made purchase and paid for it with a check would be accepted aS evidence that he was "all right"
 The shopping tour was male after the banks closed on Saturday so that there was ample time in which to work and get away. The checks are all drawn on the Valley Bank. The police have them now. but Deneen is strangely missing. and the bank knows of no Herbert A. Christy.'
