GAS WORKS AND THE PARK

1t is very evident that the Perth Amboy Gas Light COMPANY
proposes to make extensive improvements in this city in the near
future, enlarging its plant so as to render more efficient service. These
improvements include large additions to the gas works in Linden
street on the river front
The gas works as low located r the greatest hindrance to the
proper development of the river front to conform with the proposed
park and boulevard. The gas works is the only industry left in
that section of the city, which is one of the most desirable for resi-
dental purposes.
Caledonia park, one of the most attractive spots in Perth Amboy
is marred by the gas works Immediately adjoining. These works also
prevent the joining of Caledonia park with the other park sites along
the river.
There is reason to believe that the gas company would be will.
ing to dispose of its present property at a reasonable figure and move
10 a more suitable location where the plant would not be such a
nuisance as it is today.
If the city is to develop the river front as a great memorial park
steps should be taken to purchase the gas company's property before
the proposed improvements are made, greatly increasing the cost of
the property, which the city must eventually own.
Bounded on the west by the railroad and a great industrial
section, the proposed park ought to be free of industries on the
ether end. The proposed park and memorial should not be wedged
in between two such industries IS the copper works and the gas
works, especially when the latter stands alone in the midst of beau.
tful residences. Besides, when the city grows the folly of not OPEN
ing the park through to High street will be realized and the short
sghtedness of the city today will be severely criticized.
Then, too, there is the proposition to devote the Wonderland and
the Gregory tracts to commercial purposes for a terminal for steam
ship lines, being next to the railroad, leaving the Hayes tract and
eastward to the Bluff for a park and recreation center for the po-
the possession by the city of the present site of the gas works is
more desirable than ever.
The city should consider this proposition carefully. 1t would be
. sad mistake to let permanent improvements be made by the gas
company at its present site.
Perth Amboy must look ahead. With a vision of a city of 10000
population, which is a possibility at no distant time, the gas works in
its present location with parks all about it will be a abominaton

CITING ROOSEVELT

Tn their effort 70 arouse public sentiment in favor of Senator Ere
1nobnvson and Senator elect Edge, who signed Senator Lodges round
robin opposing the plan for a league of nations as proposed by re
peace conference, friends of the New Jersey senators IN the next con-
gress are circulating a petition approving their action. In this Peti
ton it is set forth that we firmly believe in the foreign policies Of
Washington, Lincoln aud Roosevelt, all of whom were 100 per cent
Americans with unselfsh motives"
All right, let us see what it means to be 100 per cent. American ac-
cording to these standards. OF the three aforementioned Mr.. Roosevelt
was the only one who was in a position to consider the problems that
confront the nation at the present time-a time when the new and
struggling little nation of 100000 that Washington knew, has grown
into a great and prosperous country of 10000 900 people; a time when
through the telegraph, telephone and cable, the railroads and steam
ships, the aeroplane and wireless the nations of Europe are closer to
us than the colonies were to each other when Washington lived.
Mr.. Roosevelts statement on the league of nations idea is found
in his last editorial written for the Kansas City Star, on January 3 of
this year. In this he explicitly cOmmcnds the principles of the league.
eve, all of u.s., he says, earnestly desire such a league, only we wish
to be sure that it will help and not hinder the cause of world peace and
justice. Mr.. Taft has recently defined the purpose of the league and
the limitations under which it would act, in a way that enables most
OF us TO say we very heartily agree in principle with his theory, and
can, without doubt, come to an agreement on specific details"
Thus, it is plain that Mr.. Roosevelt agreed in principle with Mr.
Taft. Now Mr.. Taft principles conform with those of the committee
appointed by the peace conference to draft a tentative constitution for
a league, of which committee President Wilson was the chairman. Mr.
Taft Interpretation of the proposed league was given Tuesday night
when he spoke from the san platform with President Wilson. The
President whose address followed that of Mr.. Taft, stated that Mr..
Taft had most clearly and correctly interpreted the proposed league.
1t follows, then, that if Mr.. Roosevelt. approved Mr.. Tafts ideas
OF a league of nations, and if Mr.. Taft ideas conform with the tcnta-
tive constitution of the proposed league as drawn up by the peace con-
ference under the leadership of President Wilson, Senator Freing
haysen and Standardized Edge are welcome to what comfort they may
derive from a set of resolutions approving their stand in opposing the
present plan of the peace conference for a league of nations, at the
time pointing to Mr. Roosevelt as a 100 per cent. American
ose example is to be followed.
