THE COST OF INSANITY
IN THE UNITED STATES

II has been computed that IL
costs US more 70 care for our in
sane each year than the annual ex-
pense Of the Executive, Legislative
and Federal departments Of our
Government.
Thirty-two millions OF dollars is
the actual cost OF caring for the in
sane in our various public institu-
tons in the United States. II does
not cost quite as much as that each
year 10 carry on the construction of
the Panama Canal. and yet this
sac, 100000 is only small part OF
the actual cost OF our insane. The
total cost has been estimated at
1854 900, 200. :. ~ l.f-c
The manner in which this aston
ishing amount is calculated is on
the worth of each adult between the
ages of IS and A.. Long ago it was
carefully aseertained that the az
erage value to the community of

Is and As was 800 per year.

community because Of insanity.

total up to the s164.00O,OOO mark.
The first cost means a per capita
cost OF about 33 1-3 cents for us. or
that everyone in this country, II the
cost were evenly divided. would
have to pay 33 1-3 cents each year

HARBoR BOARD ACT CHALLENGED.

Once more the act of the Legislature permit
ting cities to appoint harbor comm ission is
challenged. 1t will be remembered that sew
eral years ago a law was passed for the es-
tablishment of harbor board and Perth Am
boy took advantage of it. The law was tested
in the courts, however, and declared uncon-
stitutional, whereupon the commission went
out of existence.
In Trenton the people are very anxious to
develop their waterfront and find the only
means for doing so is through the harbor
board. For this reason at the next session of
the legislature another bill was introduced,
eliminating Objectionable features in the form
er law. This law is now in force and several
cities, including Perth Amboy, are acting
under it.
In Trenton the commission has taken steps
to condemn land owned by the Delaware River
Transportation Company, which concern has
challenged the constitutionality of the latest
act. 1t will be good thing to have it tested
by the courts so as to know exactly how We
stand. If it is declared unconstitutional, as
was the former law, our present harbor board
will pass out of existence. If the court sus-
tains the act, however, the harbor board be-
comes a fixed institution and thoroughly es-
tablished. 1t is to be hoped that the latter
will be the case and that the work so necessary
will be pushed forward with vigor.

EXTENDING TROLLEY LINE.

The agitation for an improved trolley serv-
ice in the northwestern section of the city is
along the line of city development That Perth
Amboy should have a belt line connecting the
business section with the outlying districts is
plain to all who are familiar with the growth
of the city. This belt line, of course, would
necessitate double track on the streets where
the trolleys already run.
New Brunswick enjoys such service and
there is no reason why Perth Amboy, with its
population much larger than the county seat.
should not have the same accommod" ton
Anybody with nickel can ride. Therefore,
population is what counts. There is no doubt
that belt line around this city should be a
paying proposition from the start. Not only
would it pay, but it would cause a great de-
velopment in the various outlying sections
thereby making the service source of great
revenue to the trolley company within a year
or two.
The city owes it to the people living in the
outlying sections to do something for them
in this matter 1t should be taken up with
the Public Service to see if the improvements
cannot be granted at once

ANTI TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE

1t is with a great deal Of satisfaction that
we note the active work being started by the
Anti-Tuberculosis League of this city. This
organization now has little over $500 to spend
for its work and it proposes to employ a
trained nurse to devote her entire time to the
care of consumptive victims here. The
league was organized several years ago, but
owing to a lack of sufficient funds, has been
inactive until the present time.
Much credit for the work that is about to
be started is due Mrs. c. G. Baldwin, who has
been extremely interested along this line and
who has done such excellent service during
the past few years in connection with the sale
of Red Cross seals under the auspices of the
Woman's Club That there is a great field for
work in this city is recognized by all who are
familiar with the health reports.
The nurse that is to be employed by the
league can at least teach those in the first
stages how to take care of themselves and
will probably be the means of saving great
many lives The activities of this league will
