MORE KNIFING PERTH AMBOY

1t would seem almost as if there was a conspiracy throughout
the rest of the county to keep Perth Amboy from having a represen-
taton on the Board of Freeholders. The Republicans at the primaries
seemed to have taken great delight in knitting F. William Hlker, the
Perth Amboy man seeking a place on the freeholder ticket OF that
party. In spite of his big vote in this city, he was defeated by what
would appear to be little short of treachery elsewhere.
There still remained a chance, however, for Perth Amboy to Sc
cure representation through the Democratic ticket on which Chris
handsomely for Jorgensen, rolling up a majority for him of 765. 1t
was evident that Perth AmbOy, regardless of party, wanted repre-
sentation on the board that spends the countys money. But this
handsome majority here was more than offset in the rest Of the coun-
t, making Jorgensen low man for freeholder.
When it is realized that Perth Amboy gave Brown for state SEN
aor only 568 majority and yet Brown carried the county by 1875,
it is evident that there was deliberate cutting of the Perth Amboy
freebooter candidate somewhere-in fact, almost everywhere outside
this city.
1t is very significant that all the surrounding townships and Dor
oughs are very glad to have Perth Amboy put up the money for the
paving of their streets and making other local improvements at coun-
ty expense, yet when it comes to giving Perth Amboy a say as to the
expenditure of the money, there is a united purpose, apparently, to
thwart the city.
If there is any place in the county that is entitled to representa-
ton on the county board it is Perth Amboy as this city pays more
county tax than any other place. In fact, Perth Amboys contribu-
ton to the county treasury is about onethird of the total. Why
shouldn't Perth Amboy have o voice in the way the money is ex-
pendedf
A little investigation as to why the rest of the county so persist
emily turns down a Perth Amboy man on the freebooter ticket while
all the time taking Perth Amboy money for their local improvements
would not be amiss. Should the suspicion be confirmed that there is
a deliberate effort on foot to prevent Perth Amboy from having rep
resentation on the Board of Freeholders steps should be taken for re-
taliation.

Public Opinion
Is Perth Amboy the "Paccmaking
City," and Why?

1t is not to be wondered why Perth
Amboy cannot, in a legitimate sense,
retain the status of a
City, and progress, as have other
nearby cities, when the poiicy of lenl-
eney in court is carried to the extent
of merely encouraging the OF
the Health Code, and their extreme
disregard for the health OF the people
of this city and other patrons TO
whom they cater.
The Investigation and it's findings by
Doctor Wolfram, who was sent here
by the Federal authorities, 1t appears
has been of no value other than mere
ly revealing to the people the extreme
unsanitary conditions that prevail IN
this city, with the very lenient lines
imposed by Recorder Plckersgiii'
which, in itself, is a signitcafce OF :
little more han a reprimand.
The question is. ARE the ~unsanitary
conditions still to continue?' And
are the offenders, the proprietors OF
the Modern, Plaza, lunch wagons n
other eating places, that were founu
by Doctor Wolfram to be rotten ana
filthy, to go unmolested with warming
fines of SO to $5O?'
The camouhaged attraction of the
dining rooms of the restaurants n
other eating places of his city, as

derful, u this has little significance,

1t was noted in the NEWS that IN
adding insult to injury" Recorder
Pickersgill di~sregarded the necessity
Of the presence of the compliments
against the proprietors of the restau-
rants guilty of the serious violations
of sanitation. Further, it was noted,
that our noble, unrestricted recorder
was incapacitated to properly handle
the case at court. In this event, "
may be that he knew not what he was
doing. Are the people Of Perth Ant

for his leniency In imposing the mea-
ger fines; and then in the absence OF
Doctor Wolfram?
