The City Will Celebrate

Perth Amboy is to have a celebration of the 2O0h anniversary
of the granting of the city charter, after all. To be sure, it will prob
ably not be a very elaborate celebration, but it was the opinion of
anniversary year should not be allowed to pass without some sort of
an observance of the historic event.
Just what the final plan win be is not yet known, but some
thing definite is likely to be decided upon when the committee meets
again next Monday night. One thing is certain, the celebration must
not involve too much expense. While the Board of Aldermen has
already authorized the expenditure of some of the $1,000 appropna-
ton for the decoration of the city, a greater part of the money still
remains and this augmented somewhat through voluntary eontribu-
lions, will have to cover the cost.
We do not believe any one has favored letting the year pass
hon has been the extent to which we should go. 1t was the original
plan ia have the celebration last for several weeks and be a gala
occasion of sufficient magnitude to attract nationwide attention. The
war, however, has made such a celebration impossible. 1t was argued,
loss of the real spirit of the thing.
There are few cities on the American continent that can boast
of a charter 200 years old. Many cities were founded long before
IT'S. Perth AmbOy herself is much older. But to be a chartered
municipality on the continent of America for 200 years is no mean
boast and it is fitting that Perth Amboy should take notice. As
We have urged before, however, the times are not propihous for any
big event involving large expenditures and much time in preparation.
Under the leadership of former Mayor GarretsOn, who, while
mayor, was an ardent advocate Of an elaborate telebaton, we are
SURE that . fitting observance Of the event can be arranged that win
be . credit 70 the city and tAAs win meet with tho approval Of the
epic. !

Today We Celebrate
Birthday of the Cunard Line.

1t was just seventy eight years ago
today, July IT, 1910, hat the first
Cunard steamship in regular service
reached an American port, inaugural
ing a new era in transatlantic travel.
While a number of other steamships,
including the Great Western, had
piled the Atlantic between the Old
and New Worlds before 1910, it re-
NAMED for Samuel Cunard to estab-
lish a regular service, with fixed
schedules.
Samuel Cunard, who was afterward
knighted and became known as Sir
Samuel, was born in Halifax, N. s., in
1887. The United States and Canada
share the credit for having produced
this pioneer in the field of steam nav
igation, for Cunard's father was a ma
tive of Philadelphia, where he had
been a merchant and shipowner. In
1898 he went to England with a plan
for starting a steamship line7between
Great Britain and America. He en-
listed the interest of George Burns
of Glasgow and David McIvor, of
Liverpool, among others, and founded
the North American Royal Steam
Packet Company. Cunard obtained a
contract from the British government
for mail service between Liverpool
and Halifax. Boston and Quebec. The
first Cunarder was completed in 1910
and IN July OF that year this vessel,
the Brittania, steamed out of Liver
pool, bound for Halifax and Boston.
The trip was completed in fourteen
days and eight hours, the Brittania
reaching Halifax on July IT. Two
days later she landed her passengers
and mail at Boston.
The Brittania was a wooden craft,
propelled by paddle wheels. Fifteen
years elapsed before the Cunard line
placed its first iron steamer in the
trasatlantic service. and in 1862 pad
dle-wheels gave way entirely to the
ssrew.
The Cunarder Mauretania, sister
ship OF the Inflated Lusitania, holds
the record for transatlantic speed
from Jamestown TO New York-four
days ten hours and forty-one minutes.

Venus and Neptune rule strongly for
good this day, according to the read
ing of ~astrology. Early in the norm
ing Uranus and Mars are adverse.
Women come into their best herit-
age under this sway, which makes
for their broadest political and social
recognition.
The seers predict supreme honors
for many American women engaged
in the war, and more han one will
win everlasting fame, the seers de-
clare.
This is a sway ~presaging much ro-
nance for women of all ages, bus
many will make mistakes in manag-
ing their Low affairs.
Disappointment and establishment
are indicated for those who entertain
sentiment to the exclusion of duty.
Again warning is given that the
planets are supposed to have power
in wartime to overcome traditions
and thwart judgment.
The signs seem to promise the pos
sibility of a sudden ending of the
war by next year, but astrologers de-
clare hat all standards of inkezy<e-
tation are disturbed W the upheaval
of the world and the passing of the
old era.
Following the total eclipse of the
Sun, June s, and the partial eclipse
of the Moon, June "a, the seers fore
tell earthquakes, especially in Italy,
and conspiracies that will affect
Mexico.
The eclipse of the Moon is inter-
preted as having a planetary aspect
denoting the death of a distinguished
man.
Increase of juvenile crime and sci
entifc methods of dealing with delin-
quency are prognosticated.
Uranus is in a place in the ninth
house read as most promising for
aviation.
Mars in the sixth, read as presag-
ing disasters to our warships, may
have evil power until the beginning
of the autumn quarter when condi-
tons will change.
Persons whose birthdate il Is may
experience worry and anxiety during
the coming year. These subjects of
Cancer may suffer from false reports.
They should be careful about signing
papers.
Children born on this day may be
obstinate and unruly. Theyare likely
to succeed best when directed by
other persons.

Keep Control of Street Ends

Until the federal government gives some real reason why it should
close the ends of several important streets in the vicinity of the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical Companys plant in this city, the
Board of Aldermen is fully justified in refusing to vacate the streets
in question. While the request of the chemical concern is backed by
a recommendation from the intelligence bureau of the Navy Depart
ment, there is really nothing before the aldermen, SO far a is known,
that gives any legitimate excuse for closing the streets excepting that
the intelligence bureau seems to think that such action would be ad-
visable.
Presumably this is a matter of precaution for the better protec-
ton of the industry. If the government is really concerned over the
safety of this particular plant, however, it would seem that the city
authorities should be communicated with direct. Apparently, this
has not been done for we do not believe the aldermen would have
refused the federal authorities anything that was deemed essential
toward helping to win the war.
It is no small matter to vacate streets, even temporarily. Some
times such temporary action is forgotten, especially if it is allowed
to stand for any length of time as is likely to be the case in this in
stance. When we consider the constant change in municipal admins
tration, too, the chances of a matter that was at first temporary, be-
coming permanent are all the greater.
The streets mentioned in the ROessler & Hasslacher application
are among our most important thoroughfares. In that particular
section of the city where this industry is located they are the only
access to the waterfront that the city has left. AS such they must
be guarded religiously. Time was when the city had some sort of a
claim o part of the property now occupied by the chemical plant,
known as the 'wet dock property, % but litigation became 81 in
volved, leases had so long to run and the city's title was so clouded
that it was deemed best to relinquish what claim the city had SO that
the tract could be developed.
In this matter we have had sufficient experience, however, to
warn us to keep our title clear to what we actually have and not
even permit a temporary abandonment unless there is extreme rea-
son for doing so. The least the city can do is to hold fast to all
IDS leading to the water front. The city should own as much
FER front besides as it can buy. After the war, when all the
-zehation is now building are turned into commerce carrying
vessels dock room will be at a premium to accommodate them all.
The port of Perth Amboy is bound to be benefited and the more of
the shore front under the control of the city the better it will be for
the municipality.
The aldermen, therefore, have acted wisely in refusing to vacate
the streets leading to the water front in the vicinity of the Roesder
& Hasslacher Chemical COmpanys plant. If there is real necessity
for 81 doing no doubt the government at Washington will say SO.
In the meantime, if there is any danger to these industries, perhaps
a few more guards might be employed to give the additional protec-
ton desired.
