MASONIC DISTRICT MEETING.

The annual meeting of the 10th
Masonic district was held Thursday
afternoon and evening with Valley
lodge, No. 1O6, at Orleans. 1t being
anticipated that the lodge room would
not accommodate all the visitors, the
opera hall was transformed into a
lodge room which gave ample room
for the $50 members of the order
present and made d handsome meeting
place. Ceremonies were in charge of
F. d. Pierce of Barton. d. d. G. M.
Reirden, w. NJ, opened at o'clock
owing to the fact that Meridian Sun
lodge of Craftsbury could not be pres,
ent. Immediately following. Mem
phremagog lodge Of Newport. Aaron
H Grout w. M, conferred the first
section of the M. NJ. degree and E. L.
Wells, the grand lecturer. upon being
asked to review the work, stated that
it was done so impressively and with
such fine spirit that he would rather
close his job" than to pass any criti-
cisms and that so far as perfection of
the work was concerned it was so
nearly ritualistic that corrections were
not worth mentioning. Certainly
everyone listening to the work was
equally impressed.
A most sumptuous banquet was
served the company being divided
and directed to the Congregational and
Methodist church vestries where baked
chicken. potatoes, vegetables, pies,
rolls, doughnuts, coffee and all the
trimmings were served in abundance
Everyone remarked. that it "was sure
some feed"
At 73O o'clock in the evening the
visitors again assembled and the last
section of the degree was conferred
by Valley lodge of Orleans, R. NJ.
Wells. W. M. This work was scarcely
less noteworthy than that of the after
noon and was handsomely commented
upon by the grand lecturer.
Following the work, D D. G. NJ
Pierce called upon E. S. Weston,
grand master of the grand lodge of
the state of Vermont; H. J. Stannard,
grand senior warden; Il. Fl. Ross,
grand secretary and C. A. Calderwood,
past grand master, for remarks. All
delivered messages Of enthusiasm.
| Grand Master Weston spoke of the
great relief work masons did 50 unosten-
tatiously and urged that more be done
when occasion demanded. He made
the point that while no man joined the
masons because of anticipated benefits
of a pecuniary nature we were all
morally bound to assist each other
when adverse and unavoidable circum-
stances brought masons or masons'
families into Strengthened circum,
stances. He paid high compliment
to the 10th district and spoke of the
large number always turning out to
the district meeting here.
Grand Secretary Ross made an
eloquent address touching upon the
needs of the great body of Individual
masons behind the important moral,
social and political movements of the
day.
He said that time demanded changes
and that this was true in the masonic
order today. The order must see,
recognize and adapt itself to the
needs Of the times.
A special train from Newport
conveyed many masons from the north
end of the county to and from the
meeting. which was unquallfedly
pronounced one of the most pleasant
and successful in years.

DEMAND FOR MORE POLICEMEN,

The interesting letter written by j. P.
Holm, published on the last day of the old
year, calls for the appointment of from twenty
to t~wenty-four more policemen. While it,may
be that the city is entitled to have that adj
ditional number we feel sure that the people
will be well served with the appointment of
ten or twelve more men. This we believe to
Of our city. There are many sections at the
present time that are practically without pro-
lection.
During the labor troubles last summer the
inadequacy Of the police force was clearly
shown. Had the chief of police had a sufi-
Gent number of men behind him-a number
to which the city is entitled at all times-it
is likely that he could have handled the stu
alton alone. AS long aa he kept the entire
force Of men on duty around the plants where
the strikes were in progress, there was compar-
atively little rioting. But after continuous
work for eighteen hours, it became necessary
for the policemen to have a rest. 1t was after
they had retired and only one or two men re-
lieved them, that trouble broke out.
In the ordinary work of the city more men
are sadly needed. Robberies occur ait frequent
intervals with apparently no means of pre-
venting them. There are hold-ups and stab
bling matches which must be quelled. Beats
are so long that the patrolmen find it difficult
to ring their box calls. Without a doubt one
Of the greatest needs Of the city for 1918 is
a police force adequate to take care of our
constantly increasing population.

COMMISSIONERS THEMSELVES Sane
TONED SUCH ACTION. They were elect
ed to prevent such outrages. 1t is with the
determination to wipe out this "bartering and
transferring of licenses that the people have
elected a new excise board.
That the determination of any excise board
to grant no new licenses and to wipe out many
that now exist puts a premium on licenses, as
claimed by the retiring commissioners, must
be admitted. This is a good thing. When
there is a premium on a license the holder is
more inclined to obey the law, and will take
more care about not getting into trouble so
as to retain the license. We want the entire
business raised to a higher plane so that such
conditions as the retiring excise board admits
now exists with their sanction, will no long
er be tolerated.
The new excise board has a difficult prob
lem on it's hands. Being an excsie commits
sioner in Perth Amboy, particularly under
present conditions, is a thankless job. 1t
means hard work and personal sacrifice, but
If the members are sincere they can do a
great work for the advancement Of the city
and the uplift of all who reside therein.
We trust that there will be complete har-
mony in the board. Everything cannot be
done at once. We know that the people will
be satisfied as long as a steady progress is
made. The commissioners have three years
in which to work and we trust that at the
end of that time they will have served the
public in such a satisfactory manner that their
reelection to a man, will be demanded with
out regard to party utilization.

WE WANT LIGHT!

Perth Amboy demands sufficient light at the
Central railroad station at night and along the
pathway leading to the station. These lights
must be kept burning continuously all the
evening. This is a small thing for a city of
this size to ask. We are ashamed to ask it,
thus letting our sister cities know that we are
so far behind the times and allow the railroad
to thus ignore us. But to remain silent longer
is only playing into the hands of this parsi.
monious corporation that now turns the lights
at the station off after the departure of every
train to turn them on again only when the
next train approaches. PERTH AMBOY IN

DAMAGE BY AUTO TRUCKS.

The effect Of auto trucks running on the
county roads was brought home to Middlesex
county in a forcible manner a few days ago
when a large moving van went through the
county bridge on the south shore. This was
not a case of weakened girders or supports.
The planking itself simply gave way under the
strain and the wheels went down, tearing up
the roadway for a considerable distance until
the machine could be stopped.
These auto vans seem to grow larger and
more powerful every year. When they are
loaded to their capacity the strain be-
comes enormous and county authorities every
where will have to give particular attention to
their bridges in order to meet this latest de-
mand upon them.
The time is rapidly approaching when some
legislation will have to be enacted limiting the
size and capacity of these ponderous vehicles
which are now crowding highways. 1t is al
most impossible to pass one on the average
road because they must keep directly in the
middle in order to prevent topping over. This
forces the other vehicle, which desires to pass,
down into the ditch and unless the road is
wide enough, often prevents passing abso-
lutely. Also, the vans obscure the view ahead
so that there is danger of collisions with par
ties approaching in opposite directions that
may attempt to pass the vehicle at the same
time.

THE NEW EXCISE BOARD.

The EVENING NEWS welcomes the change
in the Board of Excise Commissioners. The
old board goes out of Office with a reputation
that is perhaps worse than any other body
that has ever served this city.
The new board takes charge with the full
sympathy of the public behind it. Members
have an opportunity to really serve the peo-
pie. Their reputation and future political
ambition, if they have any, are at stake. 1t
is safe to say that no municipal body will be
watched as carefully by the citizens as will
this new Board of Excise Commissioners
Perth Amboy has suffered long under the
domination of brewery interests. At the last
election a determined stand was taken on the
part of the voters for a change. The new
excise commissioners must realize the feeling
of the people, and it rests with them to carry
out the will as expressed by the majority at
the polls.
The EVENING NEWS has stood for re-
form in excise affairs from the beginning.
We have supported the candidacy of every
man who has expressed a desire to bring
about this most important change for the
welfare of the city. 1t was for this reason
that, three years ago, we backed the excise
commissioners who have just passed out of
office, based on the pledge made prior to
election that they would bring about the re-
form SO sadly needed.
The manner in which the people were de-
ceived by the old excise board is recent his
tory. 1t was a fitting close of the old regime
that the members should gather at a dinner
and make a laughing stock of their solemn
pledge that they made three years ago. and
on which they were elected. Evidently these
men think they have fooled the people good
and proper, and seem to take delight in their
present standing in the community.
The retiring members brought out forciblv
their own short comings when, in making
sport OF the pledge they had made, thew de-
e1ared that licenses "had been at a premium
