HEALTH BOARD PROGRAM

With the reorganization of the Board of Health and with a new
health officer in charge, there is every reason to believe that conditions
in this city, as far as health matters are concerned, are going to be
greatly improved. There is every reason why DR.. Charles II. Thomp-
son should make good in his new position as health officer. At least he
should be given every opportunity to show what he can do. With a
sympathetic public and a conscientious health board behind him it
will rest entirely with him whether or not he gives the city the service
xpected.%x-zrM wsn
49, - Record and y 80, ~ -
arlnskfFnnlnna WhahIng e new president Of the sssafan soaloS-as out
lined an extensive program for the department and there is every
reason to believe that the board will make a strenuous attempt to put
it through. The president is right as to the trouble in the past and the
same danger will confront the board in the future. But with a firm
determination to chew to the line, the chips fall where they vii" the
obstacles that have been the cause of failure heretofore will be over
come. The president of the board is sufficiently free from political al
liances to avoid many of the difficulties that might otherwise beset him.
There is reason to believe that a new era is opening for Perth Am
boy in the matter of health and sanitation and that a S a result of the
awakening that the city has experienced it Is going to be made a
healthier and better place to live in. DIR. Silk has the right idea the
board apparently agrees with him; the funds r available to at least
make a start along the lines mapped out, and the new health officer Is
fully capable of performing his part.
Go to it, then, gentlemen, and remember that the eyes of the pub
lie are on the health department this year IS never before.

PERTH AMBOYiS PARK

A report Of a park superintendent is something comparatively
new for Perth Amboy. 1t has only been for the last year o TWO that
the city has had anything like a park that could receive enough atten-
ton to warrant a report. The report, therefore, of Superintendent
James L. Tooker, Sr, recently submitted to the park commissioners
and which was published yesterday, shows progress at least
Already the parks here are a source of great enjoyment to the peo-
pie. It is to be regretted that there are some who abuse the privileges
the parks afford, but such characters are to be commended with in Ill
municipalities and not until the parks are developed sufficiently to
employ regular park guards will the city be entirely free Of inc dep
relations. II is certain, however, that as the people realize nor III
r.ore the advantages to be derived from the parks more care Will be
taken of them and much of the malicious mischief that now takes place
will be ended.
The subject of parks brings to mind once more the proposed SOL
diers' memorial which this city is bound to establish In one form o. III
other. The EVENING NEWS is pleased to note that several persons
have heartily endorsed the suggestion made in these columns that M
memorial take the form of a park, something that will be enjoyed py
thousands of people q n o other memorial could be.
The idea of q Mall and boulevard along the river, extending from
the railroad to Caledonia park at High street, with municipal bathmg
beaches, and a general amusement center, with drives and paths and a
shaft in the center bearing the names of the boys who went forth from
Perth Amboy to battle for democracy, is particularly appealing.
But regardless of whether that form of a memorial Is adopted or
not, the fact remains that Perth Amboy is gradually developing a park
system and as the city grows the parks are going to be more and more
appreciated. Parks are one of the necessities of municipal life, par
ticularly in a city of this character. Too much care and attention can
not be given to them.

K A GOOD START

II Congressman Scully keeps mp the line of campaign that he has
started the complaint heard in some quarters that he is q good man,
but is not well enough known throughout the state, win not be heard
very long. In his statement issued at Trenton yesterday the congress
man let it be known that he is in the race for the Democratic guber-
material nomination to stay and that he is prepared to meet all corners.
The South Amboy congressman was particularly forceful in hand
ling his nearest opponent, Senator Edward l. Edwards, of Jersey City.
Speaking out as he does, he lis not likely to please the party bosses Of
the Jim Nugent stripe, but it is pretty generally agreed that the farther
he can get from the Nugent crowd the better he win be.
The rank and file of the Democracy cannot help but admire the
outspoken manner in which Congressman Seuny is forcing himself TO
the front. What he has to say is bound to attract attention. As this
Is what he wants at the present stage of the game. there is every reason
&c believe that the congressmans campaign is progressing very salts
factorly at the present time thank you.

PROGRESSIVE

The announcement by Reynolds Brothers that they will take over
the entire Hess building on Smith street, establish an entrance on New
brunswick avenue, and open a new department in their store dealing
In household furnishings, is in keeping with the progress that this
firm has made in recent years and with the growth of the city. The
thoroughly up-to-date character Of the Perth Amboy stores has made
this city one of the most attractive shopping centers in the state and
Reynolds Brothers have been among the leaders of these progressive
business men.
The announcement of this extensive addition to one Of the biggest
stores in the city shows the true Perth Amboy spirit. 1t bespeaks the
greatest faith in the future, and, coming at this particular time, will
have a wide effect in alaying any fears as to the outcome of the war
and the effect the closing of many muniion plants in this vicinity
might have on the city as whole.
Branching out ON such an extensive scale in a n entirely new line
of merchandise when there is a tendency everywhere to hesitate and
await developments, is something worthy of the highest commenda-
ton. Perth Amboy is indeed fortunate in having merchants with such
unbounded faith in the city and imbued with such optimism as to take
such q bold and enterprisng step at this time.

Land Is the basic necessity of hui
man life. Let US see IL all L. right
with the terms upon which lane may
be used. Calm scrutiny at once reveals
plenty to engage our attention. Here
Is at least one vital point where we
are astray.
Ownership of land is now permit
| ted to serve two radically different
purposes.
Land may be owned as q means OF
getting tribute, for living without USE
| full service. as an essential to out
| right oppression. The spectators,
| dukes and kings know this very well.
Land may also be owned as an incl
dent to the construction and enjoy
ment OF a home, with suitable and 1t
is to be hoped with adequate and even
beautiful grounds around It: as an in
| cident 70 the production ~ food and
the necessities and comforts Of life:
as an incident to a banking, mercan-
tile, manufacturing or transportation
or other useful business: as an incl
dent to wholesome pleasure and rec
reation.
The first purpose Is purely oppres-
sive or obstructive; the second is ben,
Efficient in the highest degree. The
first, to put 1t mildly, prevents capt.
tai and labor from getting their nor
NAL return. The second is a v
lent and wholesome means for security
in production and particularly in the
enjoyment of home, property and life.
The first type may hence becalled
obstructive land ownership; the sec
ond productive land ownership. The
fact that in individual cases the OBJ
structiye and productive r are
both present, does not affect the ex-
istence of the two purposes or their
relative merits.
If either the obstructive purpose or
the productive purpose In land own
ership is to be made a favored inter-
est at the expense of the other, If
either is to be penalized to substitute
the other, 1t would seem plain that the

Public Opinion
GLASS ON STREET.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Kindly allow me a little space on @
subject that may interest many who
have never given the matter any
thought heretofore.
The taxpayers of Perth Amboy are
paying approximately $4,000 yearly
towards the disposal of garbage. The
sum of $4,000 yearly Ia expended
for a street cleaning department, and
for sewers.
As a taxpayer and automobile own
er, 1 believe / will voice the senti-
ment of a large number of the citizens
of Perth Amboy by entering q protest
against the manner in which the gar
bage in this city is collected and then
scattered all over the streets.
Carelessness on tie part of the col
lector loading the wagon TO over ca
pacity and poop equipment is respon-
siple Tor the dirty condition of many
OF u stESets almost every morning.
ms necessarily means additional
woork for the str1. cleaning depart
ment. Work th6f,in a large measure
IL uncalled for and means practically
thru wing. NANCY hway-
It Is unfair to the motorist when
glass, tin and other sharp objects are
encountered.
The condition OF the streets also
creates a very unfavorable impression
on visitors and others passing through
the city. Something should be done
to remedy this. Is II not the duty of
the contractor to see that the work
is properly handled?
His men should be instructed not to
overload the wagons and to take more
care in loading the same.
Why not equip each wagon with a
hosting device, operated by hand.
which would facilitate the collection
and prevent much of the splitting and
scattering OF garbage which is now
done7 An overhauling of the wagons
would also be in order.
Yours very truly,
