FOR GREATER PERTH AMBOY.

The EVENING NEWS has been asked why
it does not advocate the "greater Perth Am
boy" A prominent citizen in this city be
Iieves that the time has come when the boun-
diaries of Perth Amboy should extend to the
Railway river on the north, as far as Metuchen
to the westward and including South Amboy
south to the Monmouth county line. In other
words, a city at the mouth Of the Raritan river
with a population of 100000.
TO many persons such a suggestion would
seem like an idle dream. We believe, however,
that the time is coming when this will be given
serious consideration and that in the near fu-
ture. some such movement will be set on foot.
1t is not expected that all this will be &C
complished at one time. The first emit
would be to annex Keasbey, Fords and other
sections of Woodbridge township lying at our
immediate door. These sections will grow rap
administration could give them and it would
not be long before the territory lying next to
them would be coming in.
South Amboy, today, is having more or less
trouble to keep up in the march Of progress.
There is no doubt that the city across the
river would take on new life and grow much
more rapidly if it became a part Of Perth Am
boy and thereby share our prosperity. The
two cities have a great deal in common, as has
been repeatedly pointed out by the EVENING
NEWS, and we believe there are many citizens
across the river who, after considering the
matter from all points, would gladly consent
to a consolidation.
The taxes in South Amboy are increasing
rapidly and while there are some improve
ments going on, the people do not begin to en-
joy the advantages that are to be had here.
The consolidation of the two Amboys would
make an excellent nucleus for the proposed
city at the mouth of the Raritan, and it would
not be long before what had at first seemed an
idle dream was an actual reality. The matter
at least is worth considering. More is bound
to be heard of it in the future.

GOOD WORK.

The excellent work that is being done by
Henry loft, superintendent of weights and
measures, is evident to everyone. Mr.. loft is
a most conscientious official. The people are
fortunate in having such a man to see that
they get a square deal in these times of high
cost of living.
1t is gratifying to know that the Board of
Aldermen backs up the work of Mr.. loft at
the public market. The dismissal Of a farmer
who insisted upon giving short weight viii be
a lesson to the many other farmers who come
to this city with their products. Undesirable
traders are not wanted here and it is well to
have men in authority with backbone enough
to expel them when they are found cut.

FOR A DOUBLE TRACK.

a. The fact that the Public Service Railway
Company is giving serious consideration to
the matter of double track for it's trolley route
through this city is gratifying Jews for Perth
Amboy. The EVENING NEWS has been agi-
Eating such an improvement for some time.
Traffic has increased to such an extent that the
long delays that are frequently occasioned by
waiting on sidings has become exceedingly
annoying.
With the Jersey Central Traction Company
sending in additional ears from Monmouth
county the traffic on Smith street is greatly
congested. 1t frequently happens that two or
three care are run on one siding at a time in
order to let one car or more pass. This causes
much confusion and adds to the delay. Men
going to and from work frequently prefer to
walk from the siding to their home rather than
put up with the inconvenience. This is an in
justice to the public and we believe that unless
the Public Service takes such action as is now
contemplated in the near future, an appeal
to the Public Utility Commission will bring
about the desired relief.
we Cali dSSulc liz L uDllo oclNltC dliNo
Company that a proposition from them to
double their line within the city limits would
meet with instant approval by the citizens and
there would be little difficulty in securing the
franchise necessary.
The trolley company already controls our
streets by their single track and there is moth
ing to be gained by holding them up in their
request for the additional privilege on these
same thoroughfares. 1t is to be hoped that
before another year passes the people of Perth
Amboy will be given the accommodations that
they are entitled to, in the way of double
track throughout the entire city.

noans of the tired and distressed, from the strains OF
the conqueror's song. AS a native of Bagdad, or
Turk, I'd live in Arabian nights, away from the re-
gions of work, from troubles and hollow delights.
In the garden Of dreams l would stray, and bother
my fat head no more, a-wondering how L shall pay
for groceries bought at the store. All, there in that
garden I'd sit, communing in peace with my soul,
and never again have a fit when handed the bill for
the coal. IN the garden of dreams I'd recline and
soar on the wings of romance, forgetting this old hat
of mine, the patches all over my pants, the clamor of
children for shoes, the hausfrau's demands for a
gown, the lodges exorbitant dues, the polltax to work
in the town. Alas! 1t is as | supposed-there is no
escaping my fate, for the garden of dreams has been
closed, a paddock is fixed on the gate. The young,
who are buoyant and glad, may enter that garden, it
who are weary and sad, are warned from the garden

HIGHEST SINCE WAR

CHICAGO. Sept. 1s.-Several thou
sand dollars changed hands today at
the stock yards. where steers for the
first time since the Civil war sold for
81 a hundred pounds The previous
high mark was made several weeks ago
when the price reached $1,000.
Not only was a new record set, but
the quality Of the steers was below
standard. Some of them were branded,
which makes their high price seem even
higher. There were sixteen Of the cat
tie and they were bought by Armour &
Co. A year ago the same steers were
not worth more than IS.
Another feature of the stock yards
today was a consignment Of steers fresh
from the ranges of North Dakota. They
had never tasted anything but grass.
They brought 1915.
