WHY CHIMNEYS LEAN
TOWARD RARITAN BAY
Perth Amboy, N. j., Mar.

Perth Amboy, N. j., Mar. 16.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS.
I see in your news someone in
South Amboy asked a question and
would like to have it answered, why
do the chimneys lean toward the
Raritan Bay? / think / can answer
that. The Raritan Bay is toward
the northeast of South Amboy and
all chimneys more or less lean to-
ward the northeast, for when they
are built the mortar dries slower
and they settle more as the sun
does not shine on that side sc they
dry slower.

WAGNER SUMS UP TWO YEARS
Majority Leader Issues Statement on
Democratic Legislation.

ALBANY. March Senator Robert
+. Wagner. aiority leader in the State
Senate to-day issued statement deal
Ing with the legislation enacted during
the past two years OF Democratic ad-
miaistratlon. lie said in part:
There Is n strong sense Of satisfaC-
tion in looking back over the record of
the Democratic party in the Lcpisla-
tures Of 1911 and lSl2. there Is feel
ing of confidence that the people Will
show fits approval OF the proceedings Of
those Legislatures. There is all the
more reason for congratulatiun In the
retrospect when one considers the uif-
ficulties and delays which the Lcgisla-
turc met In those two years: there was
the contest over the selection Of
United States Senator: there was the
Capitol fire and there was the Con-
gressional rcapportionment, and final
IS during the last year there was the
impediInent of "A Republican Assembly.
which made impossible any attempt at
party legislation. no matter how rlcri-
toiious that legislation may have been.
Despite these obstacles the Demo-
cratic party has substantially enacted
the programme of legislation pledged
in the Rochester platform. and, In addi-
tiun. has given to the people more
broad constructive legislation and more
laws of n genuinely reform character
than any other seSSion wltnln the last
decade
Among the achievements of the Demo-
Gratis, according 10 Senator Wagner. was
the adoption Of the amendments 10 Article
MI. Of the Constitution. giving cities
and Incorporated villages self-govern-
ment Il decrease of 81. .3s5. $500 in appro-
priations compared with the appropria-
tions for 1910: the adoption Of the Ferris
bin looking toward direct primaries; the
passage Of resolutions asking for the
election of Senators by direct vote and
an increase in weight of packages To he
sent by United States mail. In conclud-
ing. Senator Wagner said the Democratic
party had materially assisted in passing
strong conservation bills. the Brennan
cold storage bill. regulating the sale of
cold storage foods, and the Wagner amend
ment -as a needed counter agent to the
Court of Appeals decison on tenement
houses" Much of this was duo "to the
/ wise craftsmanship of Gov. Dix" accord
ing to Senator Wagner.
