pal business transacted last night by
the Borough Council.
DIR. Johnson representing the Chau-
tauqua lecture and entertainment
course asked tho members as individ-
uals to aid in bringing the Chautau-
qua to this borough for a period of
three days. The councilmen agreed
and signed the contract.
In regard to the Frank Lambertson
property in upper Main street which
Mr.. Lambertson claimed at the last
meeting was the property of the
Board OF Freehoiders and not his
property upon which the borough
had laid the sidewalk and which was
advertised to sale because the side
walk had not been paid for, Attorney
Geran recommended hat the sale
take place If the taxes are not paid.
In regards to the bill submitted by
George Linzmayer for rent Of a room
to Mrs. Albert and agreement which
Linzmayer claims he had with Mr..
Fountain, a former borough collec-
tor, who Is now dead. whereby the
rent of the room due Mr.. Linznlayer
would be allowed to go on Mr.. Linz
mayors taxes. Attorney Geran held
thai Mr.. Linzmayer should submit
better proof.
The question Of setting aside the
Interest which has accumulated
against the property of A NJ. Lam
bertson, while this property was In
litigation, Attorney Geran said was
not a question of law. but up to the
council to decide. On motion of
Councilman Eskesen and seconded by
Councilman Munning the council de-
cided to not set aside the interest and
unless the whole amount is paid the
property will be sold. Mr.. Lambert
son maintained that he would bring
suit against the borough.
Attorney Geran advised the council
that they might purchase the prop
erty of Charles r. Stryker In upper
main street for fire purposes, provid-
ing the ground has a clear title.
Engineer Young who has just gone
over the plans for the new w
to be erected in this borough was
present and showed that slight
changes in regards to the laying of
the sewer in Broad street, along the
bank of the Matawan creek. in Main
and Washington streets and Park ave-
nue. and Broad street, the borough
could save in all about $13,365 IN the

Crime is expensive and empty

crime.
The etSer class of citizens had to
pay this criminal expense. amount
ing 20 millions OF dollars. This one
item Of expenditure for the appre-
hension and care of liquor made
criminals cancelled a considerable
portion Of the amount received by
the government in revenue from the
traffic. The expense of caring for
other public charges. made depen-
Garts on account of alcohol-insane,
paupers, homeless children-reduced
the liquor revenue receipts still fur
tier. The cost TO the industrial
world in the loss Of time by work
men because Of alcoholic indulgence,
the total disability of thousands who
would be producers were II not for

the liquor revenue receipts. In fact.

not begin TO meet the expense i'm
posed upon the taxpayers.
But. without considering this
phase of the question, balancing the
federal revenues now derived from
useful commodities with the federal
revenue from the liquor traffic in
Massachusetts, is more than made up
by the federal revenue derived from
these useful commodities. There is
no reason 10 believe that the situa-
ton in Massachusetts differs from
the situation in other states. Massa-
Chusetts was one of the wettest states
in the union. It contains the third
largest city in the United States, a
city that was considered one of the
strongholds Of the liquor traffic.
While figures dealing with this sub
iect are not available from other
states at this time. when the balance
is finally struck for the first dry year
Massachusetts, will probably find that
IL is not the only state in the union
that has more than made up the
seeming loss I'm liquor revenue, in
the revenue derived from commodi
ties whose trade has flourished be-
