signed handsome four-story struc-

vantage Of the cool breezes from the

large roof garden and two dumb wait

the roof all right, and put in the dumb

there was no opening In the roof for

The lsthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are MOI many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of q large
number Of British subjects-the ia
maican nesroes-hss forced on the In
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this Is due to the fact
that most Of the cab drivers are ia.

are intensely proud OF being subjects
OF King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-03-07
port of New York.

Jersey ports with the port of New York. 1t
would be a serious mistake to have the custom
house here abandoned, even though we would
probably have deputies here to take care of
ships coming this way.
The port of Perth Amboy is about to ex-
~perience a boom which has not been equaled
in all its history. Within the next few years,
with a deeper channel, a great many ships
will enter here, many of them from foreign
ports. 1t should not be necessary to have
these vessels enter through New York, which,
although the local waters are considered a part
of the greater New York harbor, is of consld-
cradle distance and would mean more or less
annoyance.
Just what can be done to offset the order of
President Taft, if it does abolish the port OF
Perth Amboy, we do not know. Probably Con-
gresham Scully will be able to accomplish
something. 1t is certain that if it is possible
to save this city it's custom house the congress
man will do so. Having a man IN the White
House who is also from New Jersey, it ought
to be easy to impress upon the authorities the
importance of maintaining the port of-entry
here absolutely independent from any other
district.
There might be some reason for doing away
with the custom house at Newark, as vessels
going to that city must either pass through
the port of New York or the port of Perth
Amboy, so that they could enter at either one
of these two places before proceeding farther.
1t is plain, however, that there should be a
custom house at the head of Raritan bay, as
a large number of vessels come here that do
not touch New York at all.
