The action Of Acting Mayor Gar
retson in ordering the Public Service
Corporation to discontinue the use of
certain trolley cars in this city which
have come to be a nuisance owing to
the noise they make, is to be COM
mended. The day of the old, fiat
wheeled, rattle-trap trolley car has
passed. In fact the East is far be-
hind in the matter of electric trans
portation when compared with the
rapid strides made throughout the

its suburbs for miles In all direc-
lions, is as far In advance Of the
trolley service in New Jersey as are
our present trolley cars above the
old horse car.
But as bad as the best of 1t is, we
cannot stand for such things as fiat
wheels or rafting cars which give
the impression that they are ready to
fall apart every time they are
started.
Not many cities will stand for such
things nowadays and Perth Amboy,
through Its acting mayor, has given
the Public Service to understand
that this city will not. Looking after
such details as this is what requires
time and attention on the part of the
public officials and the acting mayor
has shown himself to be the right
In the right place in this and
many other instances. 1t will be with
more or less reluctance that we see
him relinquish the position. Prob
ably, as the campaign warns up, the
people will decide that they want
him to remain just where he is.

ated almost as soon as he received
appointment-that he was given an
other term.
With this power in his hand as
state assessor he managed to keep
himself in the political world and has
since regained some of his prestige
among a certain following, although
everyone knows that as long as he
continues to pose as a Republican
leader in Middlesex there is little
hope for that party's success in this
county. If former Governor Stokes,
therefore, finds Middlesex rolling up
a Democratic majority, thereby rob-
bling him of votes which he would
like to have to carry out his ambi-
ton to go to the United States SEN
ate, he must know that he himself,
is largely to blame for the condition
the Republican party finds itself in
in MiddleseX county today. And if
the former governor does not get as
many votes at the primary as he
thinks he ought to have he can stop
and reflect on his past actions and
realize that the people of Middlesex
have not yet forgotten.
