B9n0ff and taght Stand On Their ReC0rd-tere Is The Record !

The only answer the Republican candidates for re election to the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, Louis j. Bellof and Clarence M.
Haight. have made to the charge of reckless and extravagant In
efficiency has been to resort to deception and evasion.
WHERE IS THE PATROL SYSTEM ON THE ROADS THEY
SIGNED A PLEDGE TO ESTABLISH?
WHAT ADEQUATE RESULT HAVE THEY TO SHOW FOR THE
$5O6,OOO THEIR OWN FIGURES SHOW THEY HAVE SPENT
ON THE ROADS, FOR ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDlNARY
REPAIRS, IN 1919?
WHY DID THEY PERMIT FAVORED CONTRACTORS TO GET
RICH ON COUNTY WORK SECURED WITHOUT BIDS, AND
ON THE EVE OF THE ELECTION PASS A RESOLUTION
PROHIBITING SUCH METHODS IN THE FUTURE?
They promised to reduce the tax rate. In 1917 it was &c cents
per 800, in 1915, 71O9.
In 1919 the Budget was $685. 64923. In 1919, 1901 1921.
They say the ratables of the County were decreased $1200o0OO
in 1919.
In 1918 the ratables were SIP s2O,53o.
In 1919 the ratables are SUCCESSES.
Where is the $12 OO0 900 decrease?
We find an increase, according t" the figures of the County Tax
BRIDGE TENDERS Salaries
No question was raised about the propriety of the increase. We
simply showed the criticism the Republican candidates had made
when the Democrats raised the salaries from $50 to $50 a month. Is
bridge tenders get only So a day then there should be "a further in
WORK HOUSE AND JAIL
-Four men did all the work when the Jail and Workhouse were
combined, during the reconstruction of the new jail AT that time
the number of prisoners averaged one hundred.
Now, when all Jail prisoners ae confined IN the jail and only
DRINKS and drorderis are at the workhouse, less than twenty in
all, six men ae employed. -
ROADS
The road appropriation for 1919 was $22OCCO. By September
LIST the bills paid and pending were $231,00O a fact openly stated IN
a public meeting of the Board and confirmed by Mr.. Fredencks, the
Assistant County Collector, a deficit of Sill 900 att that time, VIII our
months still to go. They have been working on the roads ever since.
In addition to that generous appropriation, the Freeholders have
also spent the $275,O00 returned to the County by reason OF an agree
ment made with the State Road Commission by the Democratic Board
of Freeholders N the Cranbury Turnpike, which should have been
used to retire the bonds issued for that road.
The total expenditure on road repairs this year, therefore, Is
$506OOO, over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. and still going.
WARRANTED
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-10-31

Clarence NJ. Haight did not object to water bound macadam, as
he now states. He had a contractor who said he could save the
is still unbult. The South River, Cranbury Turnpike, South Amboy
and Keyport roads r all built o water bound macadam. Can any
other concrete foundation excel them?
FAVORED CONTRACTORS
We did not refer to roads N which contracts were awarded,
and we must admire the brazen efrontery of the answer Of the Re-
publican candidates for reelection.
WHAT WE ASKED WAS WHY GEORGE GUNDRUM AND
ANDREW KEYEs WERE GIVEN $4,000 OF ROAD REPAIR
WORK YEAR EACH, WITHOUT COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND
IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
Now, on the eve of election, the Board o. Freeholders places it.
self on record as favoring competitive bidding on all contracts of over
$500. In favor of complying with the law, in other words.
COUNTY BRIDGES
What. has the Board of Freeholders to do with a legislative act?
Every one knows the legislature passed the act taking over the South
Amboy bridge through the efforts of Senator Brown and the Demo-
cratic Assemblymen, who now seek and deserve reelection.
TUBERCULOSIS
The Democrats bought the site! They had plans in course of
preparation for the hospital when Messrs. Bellof & Haight took Of
flee. The Republicans have the plans, but the patients do not have
the hospital.
WHY DIDN'T KERR RUN?~
Because he exercised his right as a American citizen, a right he
exercised again this year, when he was nominated In an open primary.
THE SINKING FUND
The Democrats did not neglect the Sinking Fund. The new mu-
nicipal finance system is responsible Tor the change, and the Repub-
Icans know it, or should know it. The Commissioner of Accounts
controls this matter, and his orders we're responsible for the IA point
increase in the 1919 budget, of which Belof and Haight complain.
WATCHDOGS OF THE TREASURY
There is only one Democrat on the present Board of Freehold
ers, DR.. Leon Loblein. 1t of the utmost Importance that two more
additional Democrats should be elected,a as watchdogs OF the treasury
The failure of the Republican candidates, who have been responsible
for the orgy o. extravaganza that has prevailed In the county IN the
last two years, to be reelected, would serve asa rebuke and a warn
ing and would almost certainly result in a more economical and less
wasefu1 administration of the county affairs.
MONUMENTS TO EFFICIENCY
The Democratic candidates, apart from their personal qualifca-
tons, deserve election because their Democratic predecessors were
tration built the County Record Building, the New Jail and the
County Workhouse, Rebuilt the Court House, started the Albany
street bridge, built the South River, Morgan, and dozens of other

bridges, placed a good permanent pavement on the main arteries
of the county-in short, they left a monument to their efficiency and
honesty in the shape o. roads, bridges and buildings of the county
that will endure and perpetuate their memory when the public has
forgotten that Bel1of, Haight & Co. have ever been in office.
What have the Republicans done? Hiker, their candidate for
County Clerk, opposed and delayed for a year the Albany street
bridge. Does the present Republican MILLION DOLLAR BOARD
want al opportunity to bankrupt the county,
SOME OF THE LITTLE THINGS
We have shown that the MILLION DOLLAR BOARD OF FREE
HOLDERS can do spending in a BIG WAY. Here are a few illus
in a SMALL WAY, that even the nickels IRE not allowed to escape.
Therefore we ask
WHY did they pay L. j. Donlin of South Amboy $3.50 for installing
a sink in the County Workhouse, that Freeholer Bennett "a
member of the present Board Of Freeholders) said would be
dear at $4,000
WHY?
WHY did they pay this same Doplin $3.50 a day, Sundays and hoi-
days included, and 10 cents a mile for his Ford, as bridge in
spector, when he was conducting a plumbing business in South
Amboy?
WHY did they spend $500 OF a road in Madison and then discover
that the road belonged to the township, and then took over
the road to cover their ignorance?
WHY did they neglect the County Roads all summer and begin to
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO PAY LOCAL TELEPHONE CALLS OF
THE COUNTY SOLICITOR?
WHY DID THEY PAY FOR MILEAGE BOOKS AT $3.50 EACH
PER 1000 MILES, TO THE EXTENT OF 10000 MILES, FOR
THE COUNTY SOLICITOR WHEN HIS DUTIES ARE PRAC-
TICAILY ALL CONFINED TO THE COUNTY? NO OTHER
MILEAGE BOOKS.
WHY has Walter Masterson, Warden at the County Workhouse and
Jail, made no public report of the cost o. feeding the prison
ers at the Workhouse and Jail?
WHY did the Republican Freeholders lay off Adolph Fox, al over
seas service man, who had been driving a County truck, and
replace him with Vincent j.. Abbatelo, who is conducting a
business at South Amboy?
WHY does it take six paid men to care for the County buildings
and grounds, work that two men performed under Democra-
tic rule, without over-exerion?
WHY does it require HIker, Fredericks,, Debert, Austin and a
senographer to do the work in the County Collectors office
that Burt and Campbell performed under Democratic rule, as
sisted by a boy after school hours7

LABOR PROBLEM VITAL
Z. TO PLACING SOLDIERS

Many plans have been evolved to
handle the returned soldier and sail
or and find them positions. The en-
ployment service has been successful
in placing many of them and ma
jority of employers have expressed
a willingness to take back the men
into their former positions or plac-
ing them in a new one just as re-
munerative." This is the statement
OF ]. w. Brewer, farm help special
ist Of the United States employment
bureau.
"The one uncertain thing is the
attitude of the soldier who has seen
service abroad or who has been in
the service on this side for any con-
siderable length Of time.
Questions that are still unanswer-
ed are, first, VIII the farmer boy be
willing to return to the farm under
the old conditions?' and second,
VIII the former office man be con-
tent with work in the Officer In the
first case the boy has seen a new
world and a new life and in the sec
ond case the boy has had the open,
free fresh air, not confined to a
small office. Answer these questions
and half the problem is solved.
THE war is over, but the call for
production is as urgent as ever. To
feed the stricken countries and to
rebuild them will require the SER
vices Of every able-bodied man Of
this country. It has been estimated
that 25,O00,000 men have been killed
or incapacitated as a result of the
war and therefore are removed as
factor in filling those places former
ly occupied by them. War time fac
tories are being converted to peace
production, requiring vast army of
men. The farmer must produce as
before and must necessarily have
help. Last year and the year before
the farmer harvested his crops, but
with an inefficient labor which was
costly.
Large numbers of foreigners, now
residents of the United States. will
return to their countries to take
part in the reconstruction necessary.
Many of our own citizens will 60 to

where the turns are so sharp that
big cars sometimes have to stop and
back up to get around. Even the
stoutest heart is appalled, at the
prospect, which ever seems immi-
nent, of fatal accident on the mar
row dangerous road. At one place
where we rounded perpendicular
wall Of rock we met another auto 50
suddenly that both machines seemed
to rear up on their hind wheels and
thrash the air with open mufflers.
As we swiftly skidded around let
ter SIS, zigzagged down switchbacli
rs, shot the chutes and looped the
loop, we could close our eyes and see
floral emblems and granite head
stones and we wondered whether
there would be more flowers or fire
extinguishers sent to our funeral,
and If our obituaries would contain
all the nice things which people are
too stubborn to say about us while
we are alive and can enjoy them.
At last we leave the beautiful
mountains and get down where there
is something below the road besides
a cloud of fog to catch us in case we
should fall off. Near that crystal,
rocky stream, Smith River, we enter
a wonderful redwood forest, splendid
woodland giants which have stood
here for thousand years. Thru the
delicate green foliage, hundreds OF
feet above, the sun seldom shines
and only stray sunbeam here and
there finds Its way to the mossy,
fern-covered ground below. Scarce
sound save the purling waters OF
the nearby stream and the song of a
solitary bird, fitting thru a shaft Of
golden sunlight, disturbs the solemn
stiffness. No doubt that 1t was in
such place as this that the poet
was moved to exclaim, "The groves

PNEUMONIC PLAGUE A
RESULT OF WORLD-lyAR


Pneumonia plague, imported from
China as a consequence of the world
war!
That's the substance of the Span.
ish influenza" explanation offered in
a New York medical journal by Dr.
James ]. King of the United States
army medical corps.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
lives have thus far been lost in the
United States since the epidemic
reached IAN Atlantic Port" in the
summer of 1918.
Other explanations than that OF.
fered by DR.. King fail to take into
account all the facts. The disease
Is independent Of climatic conditions.
It has ragged in damp Boston, in moist
Cleveland and Detroit, in windy Chi
cago, in dry Arizona, in balmy Los
Angeles, in frozen Alaska, and in
warm Porto Rico with equal fury.
1t took the open air sleeper and
the man who seals his windows and
covers his head o nights.
It hit the riders in crowded street
cars and the lonely rider in the lux
urious limousine.
\ Preachers and bartenders fell vic
tins alike.
There is no known preventive,
says DR.. Rupert Blue of the United
States public health service.
DR.. King tells us that pneumonia
plague first appeared in 1910 in Har-
bin, Manchuria. 1t swept NORTH
China. 1t is yet prevalent. "The
mortality" he says, "has been fear
fully high"
I'm 1917" adds DR.. King, "about
100000 Chinese coolies, collected
from the northern part of China
where pneumonia plague has ragged
at intervals since 1910, were sent to
France as laborers."
In March, 1918, some Of these Chi
nese were captured by the Ger
mans. Spanish Influenza" soon
appeared in the German army and
spread to Spain.
1t has gone around the world in
less than a year!
DR.. King believes pneumonia and
bubonic plague germs mingled in the
blood of some obscure Chinese coolie
in Harbin and produced new dis
ease terror.
All great wars Of history have
been followed by disease epidemics.
The next war must be against this
plague!-Walla Walla Bulletin.
