THE PATRONAGE ISSUE
washington Starr

The public is no longer RECALLED
with stories about patronage-hunting
in Washington. For a time yarns on
that subject had a wide newspaper
circulation. AS they ran, this iowa
was crowded with Democrats impatient
for recognition in the way of office.
Hotels and lodging-houses were con-
gested. Streets in the neighborhood
of the White House were blocked The
faithful had gathered from all quar-
tiers. and life had become a burden 10
everybody suspected of hoving a pull
with the President.
The vein seems to have been worked
out. The hungry host seems to have
disappeared. Space once accorded by
newspapers to such descriptions is
now QoNOleu W OtucI oupJ0elo' HS
matter of fact, the situation was
greatly mangnified The crowds were
neither as large nor as clamorous as
represented. They did not overtaX the
hotels, and did not interfere with
street traffic. Neither did any Senator
or Representative collapse under calls
for assistance. There was no compar-
ison between this situation and that
which marked the return of the Dem
ocracy to national power in 1885. To-
day little, if anything, is heard on
this subject. Few officeseekers are
in town The streets, indeed, are as
thin as usual at this season of the
year
And yet but small amount Of pat
ronage has been distributed. In every
section of the country many Repuo-
licans remain undisturbed in their
nlaces, and some of them have hopes
of filling out their terms.
What may this mean That the rank
and file of the Democracy have ac-
cepted Mr.. Wilson's program as best
for the country, and will wait patient
ly for vacancies?. Or does 1t mean
that finding themselves unable tn
change the program, and resenting it,
they have gone home in disgust ana
will wait for an opportunity for re-
venge?
Mr.. Wilson has had only Unite
time to consider patronage. What
with the tariff, the currency and thf
japanese complaint about California
The has been occupied with matters o
more pressing Importance. And they
iare still in hand.

DECLINES JOB
AS TREASURER

Although A. r. A. O~vergaard was
elected treasurer of the Progressive
Club of the Fourth Ward at a meet
ing Monday night, he has refused to
accept the office. Believing Mr.. Over
gard a Progressive and as he lives
in the Fourth Ward the members of
the organization elected him to that
office. Mr.. O~vergaard was not pres
ent at the session. When he learned
of the honor which was bestowed
upon him, he declined the offer.
Following is a communication re-
ceived from him in regard to this
matter:
Perth Amboy, N. j., Jan. II, 1918.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS.
Dear Sir:
1t seems to me that offices nova
days are distributed rather freely
and liberal, as | saw by your paper
that l have been elected treasurer of
a club in the Fourth Ward that |
never knew existed nor never was
present at any of its meetings. 1t
seems to me to be a little out of the
ordinary as a person ought at least
be aware Of the existence of a club
or society before he is made an
officer.
Hoping that I am not encroaching
too much on your valuable space, !
remain
Yours very truly,
A. R. A. OVERGAARD.

FIRE
WHISTLE HERE
Will be Placed al Raritaa
Copper Works.

To benefit firemen living in the
southern section of the city, a new
fire whistle will be installed at the
Raritan Copper Works, according
to a decision of the aldermen at
their committee meeting last night.
1t Will be erected by City Electri-
clan Jay B. FRANKIE and his assistant
at a cost of about $500. The prop
osition has been under considera-
ton for about two years. 1t was
claimed by 1remen to be an urgent
need. as the other whistles and gong
could not be heard In the southern
part of the city very often.
The present alarm consists of a
steam whistle at plant No. 2 of the
Atlantic Terra Gotta Works in Buck
ingham avenue, a steam whistle at
the New Jersey Terra Gotta Works
In Catherine and Cortlandt streets
and a gong in the city yard in State
street. These give sufficient alarm
to awaken f1remen In most parts of
the city excepting In the southern
section, it Is claimed.
The city is in possession of some
parts for the new whistle, which
will cause the cost to be kept down.
It's erection will probably be for
mally authorized at a regular meet
ing of the council Monday night.

ABOUT
COUNTY RUSHED
Chsssquake Structure We'll
Under Way--0 Other Work.

The open weather this winter has
been favorable to active work on
the bridges of the county. A record
is being made in the amount of
work being done at this season.
Plans are being drawn In the once
of County Engineer Alvin B. Fox for
1000 feet of new roadbed to the
approach to the new C~hesequake
creek bridge, which is being rapidly
pushed to a finish. The road Will
be t~wenty-eight feet wide, compared
with the roadway approaches to the
old bridge, which were only twenty
feet. There will be 500 feet of
good roadway to each approach to
the new structure.
The bridge, which is along the
South Amboy-Keyport t~horoughfare
near Morgan's Station and Is the
popular highway from Perth Amboy
to Atlantic City, will replace the
old structure, which has become an
tiquated and badly used by long SER
vice. With the new roadway lead
ing to thes tructure 1t will obviate
the dangers which have long existed
to travellers at this place. The
bridge will be five feet higher than
the old one, and have a channel
clearance of so feet, and the draw
will be so arranged that it can be
opened in one-half minute. The
concrete abutments have been fin
ished by the Owego Bridge Company
Of New York, and work has been
started on the center piers. All the
steel work is on the site, and it is
said with good weather the sub
structure will be ready for the SUI
p~erstructure within a month. There
will be a clear roadway across the
bridge Of twenty-eight feet, and a
sidewalk on the southwesterly side
four feet in width. The erection of
the bridge will cost s43.250.
The bridge at Menlo Park has
been started by Carman and Smith,
contractors of Metuchen, and mate
rial progress is being made on the
structure. The bridge will be on
the main highway between Philadel-
phia and New York, over the Rah-
way river.
Work on the Woodbridge creek
bridge is being pushed slowly.
Contractor John McGovern, OF
New Brunswick, expects to start the
concrete steel bridge over Keasbey
creek as soon as the plans are ap-
proved by the state. The state will
cooperate with the Freeholders in
building this bridge. as 1t will open
up a new road. The state will pay
one-third Of the cost of same.
The replanking OF 1900 feet OF
county bridge, south OF the draw,
will be rushed to completion by the
Freeholders within a short time If
the winter weather does not pre-
vent 1t.
