Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-02-01

Dor developments, it would mean that by the
time the work is completed Perth Amboy
would nave a population of at least 100000
tpeople and business would increase to such an
extent that the financial outlay would not only
not be felt by the taxpayers, but we believe
fcient to take care Of itself and pay the city q
profit bseides.
These are things for the people of Perth Am
boy to think about. Every one who sees our
harbor marvels at its apparent neglect. They
wonder why we do not arise to our possibili-
ties. We are beginning to see our own adj
vantages as they appear to others, and we be-
ieve the time is rapidly approaching when a
great work will be accomplished in making
Perth Amboy the port that she should be.
Judge Carey, in his speech at the mayors
dinner, referred humorously to the fact that
while Perth Amboy is but eighteen miles from
the open sea, Jersey City is within fifty feet Of
deep water, but cannot take advantage of it
because the Pennsylvania railroad OWNS all
her waterfront. There is one street in Jersey
City, however, that does lead to the water
front and which the city is at this time max
ing the most of. A municipal pier has been
constructed at the foot of that street at a cost
of $60,000. 1t is estimated in Jersey City that
the increased revenue from this dock will with
in a short time pay for the improvement. 1t
consists Of a pier fifty feet wide and 625 feet
in length, with a bulkhead wing on either
side forty feet long.
Let us hope that Perth Amboy will never
be in the position that Jersey City finds herself,
entirely shut off from her matchless harbor
excepting this one street. But having the
street ends is not enough. We should follow
the example of Trenton, where the munich
pality has bought up all the waterfront land
on the market, the future income from which
is to go into the taxpayers pockets. Trenton,
in turn, is simply copying after the great
work that has been and is being lone in Bal
timore. With such examples as these there
should be no hesitancy on the part of Perth
Amboy in taking this most important step.

MAKE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.

Commenting on our reorganized Board of
Trade, the New Brunswick Times says:
"Our neighboring city of Perth Amboy has
reorganized it's board of trade along lines sim
liar to those on winch the New Brunswick
board is organized. It has made Joseph E.
Stricken, Assistant Prosecutor, its president,
and will employ a high grade paid secretary.
"Mr. Stricken will make an excellent presi-
dent. He is deeply interested in the welfare
and progress of Perth Amboy, and is a strong
believer in modern municipal methods. With a
secretary worthy of the place, the Perth Am
boy Board of Trade should become a power for
progress in our sister city.
"The old idea about cities is passing away.
Experience has shown that where conditions
are favorable, the city dweller is as helpful to
the cause of civilization as the dweller in the
country, and the city man is as moral and as
healthy as his compeer of the country, and is
usually more alert and intelligent.
"But that is where conditions are favorable.
THE aim of boards of trade is to make eondi-
tons favorable. The favorable conditions
are cIedu anu well pdFeQ StAeets, plcuty VI
breathing places, opportunities for healthful
recreation, good schools, good homes, and or
CARNATIONS, such as boards of trade and Young
Mems Christian Associations, which will SOW
in the hearts of the city's young people the
seeds of high ideals and a knowledge of how
they may be attained.
"We congratulate Perth Amboy."

MORE POLICEMEN.

With thirty-three applicants for the appoint
ments on the police force, Perth Amboy ought
to have more patrolmen within a short time.
That the force has been greatly crippled is evi-
dent from the fact that only recently a new
policeman was appointed to take the place OF
one who had retired on a pension, but which
vacancy, if not for the recent robberies, would
not have been filled for several months to come
Two more policemen are to be appointed in
the immediate future. While these will be
additions, one of them will virtually fill the
place of John Meshrow who, while rated as q
regular patrolman, has been acting as truant
officer for several years and is not looked upon
as a policeman at all. According to Chief
Burke the police force at the time the recent
robberies started was smaller by at least one
man than it was several years ago. 1t car
hardly be said that this is keeping the. depart
ment up with the growth of the city.
The interviews with prominent citizens
which were recently published in the EVEN
ING NEWS, show that the city is practically
unanimous for a larger force. n

Cuack Grass.

AS a usual thing. quack grass does
not mature its seed in hay or in win
ter grain crops. since they are cut too
early. but in hay that is left standing
for seed and in spring grains 1t does
become mature and is carried from
field TO field or from farm to farm by
the threshing machine. in manure, in
hay and straw or in seed grain or
grass seed.
The first thing to do is to learn to
know quack grass seed and then re.
fuse absolutely to uEe any grain for
seed that contains IL. AS soon as the
fall work is well out of the way get
the tanning eaill in working order and
clean the seed grain so well that there
is no weed seed of any kind In IL
With oats ard barley the work mus,
be done particularly we'll. since Quach
seed resembles these to a certain ex
tent, although il is much smaller. Buy
your seed. grain and grass seed early
and be absol.tely sure that you get nc
quack seed in either.

PRUNE THE DORMANT GRAPES
At Any Other Time Upward Flow Of
Sap 10 So Strong That II VIII
Cause "eleedinp."

Grape vines, unlike many other
vines. trees and shrubs. can be
pruned without injury only when
they are in a deep dormant condition
At any other time the upward flow Of
sap is so strong that 1t will flow out OF
the wound and cause what is calle 1
bleeding. which impairs the vitality
of the plant.
The time tc prune the grape vines Is
soon after they have dropped their
leaves, and the whole plant becomes
dormant, preferably with a falling
temperature before midwinter II
pruning is done while the leaves re-
main on some of the branches, and
the weather is mild, sap is liable to
flow the remaining branches and
cause swelling of buds. which will be
caught by the frost. The work must
not be delayed till late winter or early
spring. since the very first worm spell
will cause the sap to flow and the
wounds to bleed
In the northern and central lati
tudes from the middle of November
till the last part Of January is the
best time for the work.
