To The Public

We, the band boys understand that
there is some dissatisfaction in regard
To the band playing in the band stand
every week. Now, we wish To make
known that We have tried To play on
the streets but find il n very hard thing
To do, owing TO the fact that we cannot
do justice on account OF the lights not
being bright enough. Every one also
knows that the majority of the stores
close at 6:30 p. m, therefore we think
that the band stand is the proper place
10 hold our weekly concerts. We would
also be glad To have anyone pass their
opinion on the above or furnish US with
place where we can have plenty OF
light.
We respectfully refer to Mr.. A. V.
Flick, in person or by letter.

Woman 70 Be AuctIoneeer.

New York.-To Mrs. Ell Sobel viii
come the distinction Of being the first
female auctioneer ever appointed In
this state. Mrs. 6obel, who Is the
widow Of a well-known auctionesr,
wrote to Mayor Gaynor asking him
for license to continue her husbands
business. He found there was no ordi-
nance which prohibits . woman from
presiding over the auction block.
He accordingly dictated a letter to
Mrs. Sobel, informing her that 80 far
a. he was concerned she could auction
on anything she pleased In competi-
ton with tho male Of the species.
He added. however. that she would
FIRST have to go down to the city

SERVICE IN CONGRESS.

Congressman Scully made an effective reply
to the criticisms made against his adminstra
tion by Benjamin f. S. Brown, Republican
candidate for congress, when the latter spoke
in this city Thursday night Mr.. Scully was
one of the speakers at the First Ward Demo-
cratic meeting Friday night at which time he
took occasion to reply to Mr.. Browns re-
marks and it is needless to say he did not find
it hard to convince his audience of what he
had DONE
AS we said Saturday in these columns, the
mere fact that Mr. Scully succeeded in getting
on the Rivers and Harbors Committee during
his first term in he House would be accom-
plishment enough for one term, even if he had
not succeeded in doing anything else AS has
already been remarked, it usually takes the
first two years that man serves in congress
to get acquainted, and to let the departments
know that he is a representative. A second
term is required for the average congressman
to get down to work. 1t is then when he gets
his committee assignments, more or less infu-
entail by which he is able to serve his country
and his constituents. AS we have already
pointed out, Mr.. Scully did not have to wait
for a second term to secure an important posi-

WATERWAY IMPORTANCE.

Waterway Improvement is one OF the great
est subjects now before the people of this city.
With this is included the need of municipal
dock. Congressman Scully has complmented
Perth Amboy for it's excellent representation
at recent hearing of the Board of Engineers
in New York City when the matter of a thirty
foot channel up the Raritan bay from Sandy
Hook was under consideration. The men who
represented the city at this hearing produced
facts and arguments which made decided i'm
preston upon the engineers and there is no
doubt that the agitation so well started will
bear fruit.
It is this kind of work that counts. If Perth
Amboy would be equally as well represented
at all such gatherings and if its leading citi-
zens would take an interest in these matters
and urge harbor improvements at every OPP
portunity, much good could be accomplished.
A thirty-foot channel up the Raritan bay
will mean millions of dollars to this city. We
will not be in position to take full advantage
of this, however, unless the city sees its way
clear to secure enough water front property
very soon for the construction of municipal
dock.

THE WEEK. OF WEEKS.

This is the week for talking Perth Amboy.
The city is to be turned over to the fremen
for their great demonstration on Thursday.
Buildings are being decorated throughout the
business section in preparation for the event
It behooves every citizen to do his part by fix
ing up his property and decorating his resi-
dence if he does nothing more than hang out
a flag for the occasion.
Above ALL let every one take particular in
terest in seeing that the streets are kept clean.
While the street department has made ar
rangements for special activities along this
line, the citizens themselves can be Of great as
sistance by taking particular care not to clut-
ter the streets by allowing waste paper and
other refuse to be blown about.
Perth Amboy on Thursday will be crowded
with visitors Not only will there be a large
number of fire companies from many of the
leading towns and cities in this state, but hun
dreds of people will come here to see to pro
cession and to enjoy our festivities Perth
Amboy cannot afford to lose this great oppOr-
tunity for making favorable impression.
IhOSe VINO nave QedI1lSS WIFI OuJSlue par
ties, particularly with those who have not
visited Perth Amboy in many years, know
what the general impression is regarding the
city 1t is our duty to correct this impression
wherever and whenever we can. Nothing can
do more toward accomplishing this than to re-
quest outsiders particularly those who criti-
cise to come to Perth Amboy and see for
themselves just what city we have. Few of
them realize how progressive we are.
The fremen have done this in wholesale
manner. We want them to carry the word
everywhere that this city is one OF the most
progressive and up-t date in the state In
other words, we want every visitor who comes
to Perth Amboy Thursday to talk Perth Am
boy forever afterward.
In order to do this we must be talking our
selves on that day. Now is the time to get
ready We have r great many things of which
we can feel proud and it is our duty to show
them all off to the best advantage. Prepare to
talk Perth Amboy this week as yeu never have
before.

ton. He walked right into one Of the most
desirable berths to be found in congress, par
tictlarly for a man coming from district
which has so much to do with harbor i'm
proyement
But not satisfied with obtaining this inAuen-
tial position, Mr. Scully went right to work
and, as he stated in his speech Friday night,
succeeded in having passed an appropriation
for waterways in this vicinity that has been
hanging fire for many years. With this foun-
dation there is little doubt that the Congress
man will be able to make good his promises to
secure a thirty-foot waterway up the bay with
in the next two years.
We have nothing against Mr. Brown regard
ing his ability to serve as congressman repre-
senting this district, but we do believe that
the people should reward faithful service such
as Mr.. Scully has done, and should also be
wise enough to take advantage of the excel
lent position that the present representative
now has in Washington so that he may be able
to continue his good work
To change congressman this year would
mean that we would have to begin all over
again, and it is very doubtful whether new
man would be successful in landing ON the
committee which is believed to be of the great
est service to Perth Amboy and vicinity.

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER.

Tomorrow is the last opportunity to regis
ter. Every voter should bear in mind that,
under the present election law, it is necessary
to register in person every year If you voted
last year, your name was carried forward so
as to permit you to vote at the primary, but
there the privilege ceases until you register
in person again.
Do not get the impression that because you
voted at the primary you are duly registered
for the coming election. Primary day is also
registration day and it is customary for all
who vote at the primary to also register at the
same time. This is not compulsory, however,
as there is always one more chance to .og1ster
after the primary. This one more chance
comes tomorrosggc If you registered on pri-
;paaEEsy ugy of on the registration day prior to
primary day you are all ready for the election
in November. If you did not register on
either of these two occasions be sure to regis
ter in person tomorrow.
You can tell whether you have registered or
not by recalling whether you signed your name
in the registry book and answered the ques-
tions put to you by the election officer. If you
have done that this year you are registered
and can vote November 5. If you have not yet
signed the registry book this year and an
swered the questions, you are not registered,
whether you voted at the primary or not, so
be sure to do so tomorrow 1t is your last
chance.
We have been told that many persons think
that because they voted at the primary they
are by that act registered for the election No
vember 5. This is not so. Voting at the pri-
mary and registering, while they can both be
done on the same day. are two entirely differ
ent things.
Make sure that you are registered before to-
morrow night or you will lose your vote next
month.
