Save Main Street If Possible
Editor of the Post,

Editor of the Post,
Sir:-It has occurred to me,
and doubtless to many others that
our fine new Main street.-the
pride of the town-could, during
the next few months be saved
much unnecessary wear and tear
if the teams hauling building
material from the brick yard and
the Center Station to the now
Wolf Hall and the Dormitorv soon
to be started would use Delaware
avenue as far as possible. This
street is a dirt road but in excel
lent condition now and its use
from South Chapel street east
ward to the new buildings would
relieve the traffic on Main and
help to preserve the street surface
in the present fine condition. In
many places where new roads are
made heavy traffic of all kinds is
diverted by rigid regulations to
other thoroughfares in the inter-
est of public economy. Why not
Newark? Can't Council take up
this question?
Citizen.

Town Without Protec-
ton After Midnight
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
No doubt the town folks are not
aware they have no protection in
the streets after midnight. It's
this way. The town pays an off,
Ger $40 per month, pays $50 per
wear for telephone in officers
house, which makes $3.50 per
month. The officer is not suppos-
ed to stay on duty after mid
night. Of course we here are
very fortunate; we have no muir
ders, robberies or fires, after mid
night. A few years ago we paid
our officer $35 per month, and he
was supposed to be on duty all
night Ono telephone). Any per-
son waylaid on the streets after
midnight he would be found and
cared for, robbery would likely be
seen, or house on fire could be
seen. The S35 night man might
save your life. Locking the stable
after the horse is stolen is no
good. On the other hand we find
the town receives some $40 per
month for fines. Our expense
then is reduced to $50 year for
telephone. I would suggest that
we have another officer from mid
night until a o'clock, at S35 per
month. The town to furnish a BIZ
cycle to patrol not only Main
street but other streets. This will
not be adding any expense to our
town, but certainly should be sat
isfactory to our business people
and citizens. Our present officer
subject to telephone call after
midnight.
Town Tax Payer.

ers and so tireless in their money
raising efforts-frst for a fire
engine and now for new home
for it that no one can begrudge
them the satisfaction that will
come to them when their new
home becomes an accomplished
fact.
But what in that case will be-
come of the Town House on Acad-
envy street, their present head
quarters? This house is owned
by the town and has been occu-
pied, rent free of course, by the
company, the town merely using
the fremen's assembly room for
Council meetings once or twice a
month. Connected with the Town
House in the rear is the lookup.
consisting of four cells, which are
neither modern nor safe, and
which must eventually be re-
built.
This brings up the question,
should not Newark, with $500 in
habitarts now and likelihood Of
$500 in the next eight years, be
thinking of a new Getty hall'?
And in that case could not the
town and the fremen together
erect a building for their Joint use
that would be a real credit to the
town? There could be room on
the first floor for the fire appara-
tus and prison cells, with quar-
tiers upstairs for the firemen, the
Mayor and Council, Chief of Po-
lice, and the town magistrate.
This would render unnecessary
the marching of prisoners through
the streets from the lookup to a
MAGISTRATES office. By concentrate
ing everything in one building it
would be possible to have some
one on duty-say a night police
officer-to sound the fire alarm
and save valuable time. The time
is coming when we should have a
police station with some one al
ways on hand for an emergency
and what better place than in q
building housing the fremen the
MAYOR, the magistrate, prisoners
cells, tax collector, water anC
light offices, etc.
The plan, ambitious as it may
be, seems quite feasible from
every point of view if only thu
town and the fire company SHOW
proper spirit Of cooperation.

Ready For Joint Debate
Middleburg Democrats Do Not Fear
bud" Cundiff's Oratory

Middleburg, Oct. 27
The Republicans must be getting
scared. 1t was reported here a few
days since that W. C. Cundiff had
consented to go on the raging stump.
Bud is real clever sort of fellow,
but on the stump we are persuaded
he would play the bull racket in the
china shop. Though you cannot al
ways some times tell whether a man
can make a speech or not So light
out Bud, and if your tour should
lead this way you may be tackled for
joint debate.
Don't it beat rats fighting? Here
we are getting zoe, for eggs at the
doors of our homes and they say
that Thanksgiving turkey will go to
20 cents pound at the farm house.
But the Republicans say the wal
"done" it. The war must be good
thing to have around. May be that
is why they want Hughes elected.
Mr.. John Logan, of Mercer county
and Miss Minnie Pike, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Pike, of near

Law. If enc will first consider self,
you can very readily decide on this
vital question. The Stock Law today
and for all time to come will burden
many poor people. 1t will cause them
to pay high pasture rent or dispose
of their stock at low prices. Why do
we say this? 1t is because most of the
pastures are owned by the wealthy
class of people and the poorer class
would be compelled to pay whatever
price was demanded of them. You
can take the present shortage of
grass, one could hardly secure pas
ture at any price. The owners of
pastures would soon grasp the situa-
ton and say to you and all 81 am
compelled to raise my pasture rent,
my grass is short and l am full up.
Try my neighbour" and you will find
his neighbor in the same condition.
Many people speak of Lawful
cuCc. Ou Hidy IdhC Iileit III SOiioiu-
Grafton and you will find but few
people who really have a fence ac-
cording to requirement of law and if
poor COW and calf happen just to
step over, it seems as there are no
remedies but Stock Law to be en-
forced upon the common class of peo-
pie. Have we ever thought or pom
dered over this great question? No
we have only looked at it very slight
ly. Let US get little further down
into the question to see just how one
should think. Question Are you in
favor of stock running at large?
Every poor man should say in a voice
altogether, eyes. Why? Because l
am an American, supposed to have
free speech and just a few personal
privileges" Have you ever once
thought of the dogs that run at large
and in many instances come in
strong competition with the little
one for bread? Which do you think,

Mr.. Voter you should be the most
interested in the hogs, the cattle,
horses, ETC., which are mostly a ne
cessity of life or the dog? Nothing
said about the dog he can stroll the
country over, free privilege of char
acter, and when the County Assessor
comes for q list he most times has
to visit six or eight homes to find
out who the dog belongs to, and then
nrabahlv listit to thewrong person.
and in return, if he doesn't own his
own rig, will pay out $3.50 or $500
going to town and having the dog
tax taken off his list, when he could
have saved money by paying the dog
tax regardless of whether he owned
dog or not. We do not aim to die
tate as to how any one should vote.
but it is well for one to think this
matter over before he does. Just
think of the land that is not doing
anybody any good in some of the
mountain sections and the stock law
prohibits poor people from turning
out their stock or puts them in posi-
ton where they are unable to own
any stock when before this law went
into effect they had plenty of meat
to do them and plenty of milk and
butter. Now how is the question
about meat 20 and 25 cents per
pound. They have to do without
it most of the time.-Reader of the
