TO COME.

Naturally, q great deal of interest
has been aroused by the
ment that a movement is on foot TO
give the people of Perth Ampoy a
chance TO vote on adopting commls
sion form of government. Whether
+his will come to anything at this time
is not known, but sooner or later
somebody or some organization Is go
ing to get behind the matter and put
IS across.
1t seems almost certain that once
the question is put to a vote 1t will
be adopted overwhelmingly. Senti-
ment on all sides and among all
classes of people seems to be for the
change.
lust at present the mounting tax
rate is having a great effect. Whether
warranted or not. people are bound to
blame the administration in charge
for this increased burden. While ex-
penses would naturally increase under
any form of government these days.
there is reason " bCiANNN NhNN
n more up-to-date and simplified form
of government there could be many
economics that now are impossible.
There cannot help but be many uh-
ayoidable leaks in running a city OF
10000 population under a charter
granted fifty years ago for a town OF
$500.
Even some city officials agree that
the system of government now in
vogue is Anticipated and entirely IN
ADEQUATE for our present needs. Men
in all walks of life are ready to BACK
the movement for a commission form
of government. but no one seems to be
able to find the time to lead it.
OF course, 1t would be better ia
have the movement started from a
non-partisan ource and carried on by
a volunteer organization of private
citizens. However. it makes no diff
ference how the movement originates
IT is going to receive strong endorse
ment with excellent prospects of go
ing through. Designing politicians
may SO manipulate things as 10 ge'
control of the city once a commission
Is elected. but ii is going to be ex'
tremely difficult for them to do so
especially If the people are thorough
Iy aroused. And even If politicians
do get control and attempt to play
partisan politics the responsibility fol

START THE WORK.

With the awarding of the contract
for the new reservoir for Perth AM
boy, a long anticipated and most de-
sired move has been made toward
giving the city the service and pro-
lection so necessary for a rapidly
growing Industrial community.
The need of a reservoir on this side
of the river has been realized for a
long time. 1t is a pity that the work
was not begun years ago rs the cost
of construction today is practically
double what it would have been be-
fore the war. However, there is no
use crying over what has past. The
city needs n reservoir today more
than ever and nothing is TO be gained
by delay. A serious breakdown In
the present system would cost the city
many times more than the extra cost
of the reservoir will amount to.
But in handling such large con-
tracts involving so much money care
must be taken that waste and eXtraVa-
gances do not creep in. These are
DAYS when the taxpayers are carrying
n heavy burden and it is up to the
officials. while doing everything that is
necessary for the welfare Of the
,,,hlic TO guard carefully all expendi-
lures.
Considering previous estimates and
the rapidly increasing cost of every
thing the contract price of s1,O95'o6O
may be considered quite reasonable
provided there are no unforeseen
s,extras'' to be piled IN as the work
progresses. Engineers. fees must also
be paid in rddition to this and to some
II might seem that the job Is top
heavy I'm this regard. But a reservoir
such as this one will be is built My
once in a century and it is necessary
hat It be quilt right. The knowledge
and skin of two engineers, n of them
an expert in the line. is not too much
for such a job.
With all the preliminaries complet-
cd and the contract awarded the
big thing now is TO start the dirt
1ving-the sooner the better. IN
cidentally the advantage of a complete
plan for the entire water system is
again manifested. Not only are the
plans for the reservoir all ready but
,he water board knows just What is
to be required of the big storage
basin. how its capacity is to be IN
creased and what part of the whoie
svetem IT Is to a for MAN, years
20 come. There is nothing haphazard'
no guessing. in connection with TINS
important work.

What Is Corn Beef?

We have been made referee in the
great Corn Beef Controversy now be-
ing waged in Cincinnati, but we are
gonna pass the buck up to some
scientist. The question is: Why is
there an alternate streak of fat and
lean in Corn Beef? Cap O'Neil holds,
as an expert, that the hard fat, like
a suet is caused by the curing and
picking process. Mike Gavin, the
eminent Cornbeefologist dublin Uni
versity) maintains that the fat In
Corn Beef is the Trofkin n the lean
is the Gdyngyn. Hon. Bert Lykins
holds that there aims no SIGH animals
as Trofkin and Goyngyn, and that
they are the invention of a silly cpl
curean. Anyway, We'll pass it up to
the Longview Commission for a de-
cision.

TIMELY WEARING.

With the automobile season once
more upon us and with the roads
more crowded than ever with motor
cars of all descriptions a little timely
warning may not be amiss.
About 1900 persons were killed at
railroad crossings in the United States
last year. Most of them were in auto
mobiles. Some didn't look; others
didn't listen, and very many tried to
beat the train across the tracks.
Men will waste hours and hoard
seconds. A fellow will loaf all day
and risk his life in his hurry to cross
a congested street or race across a
track ahead of a train. to save a
minute! It's a poor sort of thrift.
What's the hurry? It's better to get
there late than not at all. Everybody
knows this, of course! But the head
lime that tells of a family wiped Out
at q railroad crossing has become
commonplace of the days news.

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON.
Spring Music.

1 like to sing of balmy spring,
the season most inspiring; my
harp I swat and keep it hot. until
it needs new wiring. / like to
praise the woodland ways where
we will soon be roaming, and
shady hooks and babbling brooks
with cascades brightly foaming.
No gent, I wist. a well resist the
Spring, with all its glamor, unless
he's old, with blood SO cold 1t gives
him katzenjammer. When I'm so
chilled, my heart so filled with
wintry slush and water, that I
don't sing to welcome Spring. then
lead me to the slaughter. My eyes
are weak, my hinges creak. l bend
them with a lever; my thews +
stiff, but what's the diff? I'm just
as young as ever. And so / prance
and whoop and dance when Spring
comes up the valley; and il a cop
should bid me stop, / chase him
down an alley. The winters flown,
the coal men grown. and idle is h
plumber; the birds and bees and
bugs and fieas have come to spend
the summer. The verbal rain has
come again, a resurrection bring
ing. so let US sing a song of
Spring and chortle while we're
singing.

THE PORT OF NEW YORK.

New York city is inclined to balk
over the proposition to turf the con-
troll Of the port of New York over to
a port commission made up jointly Of
representatives from New York and
New Jersey. Mayor Hylan and the
Board of Estimate of New York city
feel that the control of the port is
being taken away from them. New
York city has 'hogged' the whole
thing so Ions that she thinks she can
keep on doing so.
But New York has n rude awaken
ing coming. New Jersey has been
long asleep as far as her harbor
facilities are concerned, but she is
asleep no longer. New Jersey has the
railroad terminals and she has the
waterfront. All she has to do is to
develop the latter on an extensive
scale to practically put New York out
of business as far as shipping is con-
cerned.
New Jersey now offers TO combine
with New York in the development OF
the port so that all sides of the
'harbor may grow together. Far-sight-
ed New Workers realize the advantage
in this and are urging the adoption
of the plan. For Tammany Hall
politicians. however, 1t seems too
much like losing control of a big
source of graft.
However, New Jersey has little to
worry about. Today the cost of
lighterage in New York harbor is in
cluded in freight charges so that 1t
costs no more to ship from the
Brooklyn shore than it does from the
New Jersey shore although the goods
may have come in over a railroad
with terminals in New Jersey. But
this lighterage is a big item not only in
but in the matter of conges-
ton and delay. This cost and con-
is constantly increasing so h a
once New Jersey has developed her
waterfront whereby ships a be
loaded direct from the cars as they
arrive without the latter being foated
lcross the bay. the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be compelled
TO give the shippers the advantage OF
great saving brought about by the
elimination of the Tightening. Once
this discrimination in favor OF the
New Jersey shore Is made-and it is
bound to come if New York city re-
fuses TO cooperate in the port develop
ment- the New Jersey piers are go
ing to be crowded and space along
Brooklyn shore as well as Man.
itself will go begging.
OF course, the ideal thing Is to
operate the whole port as a unit, but
f New York persists in trying to have
il all for herself New Jersey, too, will
it alone and we are not afraid OF
The outcome.
