ABOUT III MEMORIAL

The communication from the Central Labor Union on the sub
ject Of a soldiers memorial, which is published today. brings ot d
new and important feature in connection with the proposed PROJECT
The Central Labor Union fayors a memorial building and emphasizes
the point that it would be constructed by Perth Amboy labor. AT a
time when there IS a nationwide agitation to start work OF TINS char-
acter 81 as to keep men busy the idea of constructing a great memorial
building certainly has its advantages,
But then. it must be remembered that not all of organized labor Is
represented in the building trades. AS a matter of fact, 1t Is propaoe
that The greater part of labor in this vicinity IS what IS known as cm
mon II unskilcd labor. This class of labor receives the lowest wages
and in time of slack work arc the first to feel the effects and suffer
the most.
Taking this into consideration, there is still room tor argument
that if the memorial should take the form of something that would
give work to Perth Amboy labor, a river front park Of Mall would be
more acceptable than a building Of any sort. In constructing the
park and Mall con mon labor as well as skilled labor would De e
CURED. A bukhead or probably a sea wall would have to be bult M
there would be a vast amount OF filling in and grading to be done.
amusement features would call upon the building trades and all would
have a share in the undertaking.
There are arguments in favor of both forms OF memorials Inc
point now is to decide on something and get busy. Time is passing.
Other cities are beginning TO get down to work. Newark has just de-
cided upon a monument to be erected in Military park at the cost OF
something like 100000. But Newark is well provided with a beautl-
full system of parks and has auditorums galore. Other cities are
erecting buildings and some are laying out boulevards. The point is,
something is being done. 1t is time for the committee of the Board
of Aldermen to take up the matter in earnest. The Board of Trade has
appointed a committee to work with the aldermen should their serv-
ices be acceptable, but naturally, the aldermen, having acted first, the
rest of the city awaits their move.
If this memorial is to take form 81 a s to be appreciated by the
boys coming home it is time something was being done. The views oil
the public seem to have been sufficiently set before the officials. The
choice seems to have simmered down to a choice between a memorial
building and a river front park with adequate bathing beaches. 1t Is
now for a competent committee to determine which of these 1T shall
be. Several subscriptions have already been made. The people are
for the officials TO take up the matter in earnest.

MIDDLESEX LINING UP

sGet behind this. - says the New Brunswick Home News in COM
menting N the action of the Democratic Club of this city in advOcat-
ing the taking over by the state of the bridges across the Rarhan river.
The Home News says:
New Brunswicks City Commission should lose no time
getting behind the movement lnaugurated by the Perth Am
boy Democratic Club for the purpose of having the State take
over the Albany street bridge and the county bridge that
connects Perth and South Amboy, and incorporate both struc-
s lures S a part of the State Highway System.
All who are familiar with the enormous erossState traffic
' is peculiarly heavy because of the fact that Middlesex is so
located as to catch more than its share of the highway travel
from both directions-will agree that it is wholly unfair for
the cost to be saddled 0n our taxpayers, while permitting
these from other sections of New Jersey To go scot free.
BY every process of sound reasoning these two bridges
belong in the Jersey Highway System, and the sooner this fact
is recognized the better. Senator Brown and the Middlesex
Assembly delegation can be counted upon, we believe, to do
their part. But the whole strength of New Brunswicks in
demand from all other sections of the county. Only thus can
success be achieved.
Let all get together and put this thing across. If Mercer county
can dc it, Middlesex ought TO be able to, although Trenton being the
capital of the state the people there had a big advantage in working
on legislators. Both big bridges in Middlesex are included in the
state highway system. the traffic over them is statewide and inter
state. Why shouldn't the state bear the expense of the maintenance
of these bridgesf
The action OF the Board of Aldermen last night in deciding to APP
point a committee To work with other municipalities in the county
toward getting state action ON the matter of these bridges is in accord
with the sentiment of the people. With New Brunswick getting be-
lind tie agitation and other places lining up with the two cities of the
county something can be started, at least, that viii show the rest OF
the state that Middlesex is tired of this unjust discrimination.
