Editor The Georgian:
What has brought on all the
strife among our citizens about
a new charter? Do the people
want the charter Of the Commit
tee of Twenty-Five or not, and If
not. do they want the one pro-
posed by Council? They don't g..
want commission form OF govern
ment. nor form as near like 1t
as this so-called peoples charter
Let's see. In the fall Of 1911
an election was called for char
ter practically the same. The re-
suit was: For the charter, 1905;
against 1t, 1853. After that in the
fan elections almost q new Coun-
ell was elected. Was it for a new
charter? The vote Of IS to 10
against it shows they are not.
II is not the people demanding a
new form of government. Who
then. is il? \ set of men who for
several years have been trying to
get control of the affairs Of the
city for some other purpose than
the general good. At the last
election for Mayor, Woodward
was elected

How New Council Voted.


Had any body Of people asked
for it? Was there any mass
meeting or any other mode by
which it was made known to the
Council that a new charter was
wanted Only about one year be-
fore the people voted it down.
The new Council was ready to,
and did vote it out. Who, then,
were the people? The newspa-
pers and the new Mayor. mostly.
The real people oppose the COM
mission government charter, ana
also the Committee of Twenty
five charter. and are rightly rep
resented by the is COuncilmen
who DARED to vote their convic-
tions and vote down this scheme.
The Couneilmen and Aldermen
are not peanut politicians, as they
have been called. They are con-
tractors, lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants. insurance men and other
good citizens, and many of them
serving their first term in public
office. Why are they opposed to
the new charter They have been
elected by the people and they
know their constituents don't
want It.
When a city is growing faster
than any other city in the United
States. when the health Of that
city is the best. when no word of
graft has ever been uttered
against its officers and when most
of its citizens are contented and
happy. why should we have a
change?
Here are a few figures about
our city that may not be known
to everybody:
The city's tax values nave in
. creased in the past three years
s34.346.4S9. and the income SiSI,-
631.3O. over % per cent.
The building permits for 1910
were S7.4o5.95O. and for 1912.
sq.sS7.444. an increase Of about 40
per cent in two years
The improvements put down
through the Department OF Con-
struction are for the last eight
years as follows:
Sewers-From 1905 to 1908,
e6Ss miles: from 1909 to 1912,
1870 miles
Sidewalks and Curbing-From
1905 to 1908. 1855 miles; from
1909 to 1912. 1882 miles.
street Paving-From 1905 to
1908. Ell miles; from 1909 to 1912.
Sol miles.
For the first two items about
500 per cent increase for tile four
last years. and for the last item
over 800 per cent

looked after the building " the

BIDS SUBMITTED FOR THE
SEWER DISPOSAL PLANT

The Camden Iron Works, of Cam
den, N. J., has submitted the lowest
bid for supplying the machinery to
be used for the Newark Bay pump
ing station and disposal plant of the
Passaic Valley Sewer Commission,
but no award has yet been made.
The bids were opened yesterday at
a meeting of the sewer commission
ers, and Judge F:ancis Child, chair
man of the commission, announced
that the awards would not be de-
termined until next week.
There was considerable opposition
from local manufacturers to the
specifications of the machinery to be
used by the commission, which pro-
vide for a peculiar type of steam
boilers.
The local concerns do not make
this particular type Of 'joiler, and
several electric companies claimed
that electric-driven machinery would
give better satisfaction than the
steam type.
The objections will be further in
vestigated before any award is def
nitely made.

DRUGGIST OFFERS $500 TO
KNOW AUTHOR OF STORY

I'm give 500 to Lieutenant Such
ard, of the Fourth precinct, if he will
give the name of the man who told
HIM that book agent story which ap-
peared in last Saturdays edition OF
the Evening Star, VS.
made by Morris j. Schutzman, q
druggist, of 17S Spruce street, who,
although his name was not men,
toned in the story, was the druggist
meant by Suchard when he told the
story to an Evening Star reporter.
Schutzman denied ever having had
such an experience with book
agent, as described by Lieutenant
Suchard. That Schutzman was in
earnest about his 800 offer could be
seen by the manner In which he
made it.
When Lieutenant Suchard was
made acquainted with a way to make
an easy" hundred, he said: IT can
produce the man who told me the
story, and I'll do it whenever it's nee
essary. The person who told me the
story said that it had been told to
him by Schutzman himself and that
Schutzman was the man who bought
a cook book from the book agent,
who then sold one to Schutzman's
wife and another to his drug clerk.
I'll tell him the name of the man
who told me the story, If he wants
to know it, and after I do I'll collect
$500 from him. l should worry

BoHEMIANs TO CELEBRATE

Extensive preparations have been
made for the celebration of the first
anniversary of the opening of the
Bohemian Auditorium on Independent
ence Day. The committee In charge
has arranged for speakers for the
occasion. The Bohemian Auditorium
was erected through the combined eff
forts of the Bohemian speaking citi
zens of Newark and the reports OF
the board of managers show that the
venture has been successful both So
cially and financially. 1t is equipped
as a modern clubhouse in every sense
of the word, having q spacious hall
for social events, bowling alleys, a
billiard room and garden, all of which
are open to the public Since the
completion of this clubhouse many
dwellings and business structures
have been erected in the neighbor-
hood showing that social centres like
this one stimulate development in
their vicinity.

Louis G. Hupp, president of the
Tribune Motor Company, of Detroit,
has some very decided opinions re-
garding the matter of assembled cars,
and he is very candid in stating that
the Tribune car Is strictly an as
sembled proposition. ut isn't so very
long ago that dealers who sold a
strictly assembled car said Mr.
Hupp. found themselves doing bust
ness at a disadvantage, for the rea-
son that competitors had succeeded,
through clever advertising and sales
manship, in creating a false impress
sion about assembled cars.
Automobile buyers have come to
recognize, however. that the automo-
bile business is no different than any
other, and realize that the builder of
a strictly assembled car actually does
business at a big advantage for many
reasons. He does not have to in
vest a very large amount of money in
a large plant, expensive mechanical
equipment, experimental work, etc,
and he does not require a large force
of help. He is able to choose the
units that go into his car from the
products of the best builders of parts
in the country.
HE buys a motor, for instance, at
very little more than it would cost
him to build his own motor. and this
applies to the many units which go
to make up a car. Many of the most

robbed of $685. early this morning
while he was walking in Breintnal
place, near High street.
A sneak thief entered the offices of
the Newark Sign Company, at 90

was the property of John l.. Abeln,
the manager of the company. The
