ROAD PAVING 4

When the Board of Freeholders
present their data regarding the cost
maintenance OF Middlesex county
roads to the State Highway Commits
sion at its meeting in Newark June .
It might be rather embarrassing to
the county officials to explain why they
deliberately specify a patented ma
terial for paving thereby shutting out
all competition, when the State High
way Commission itself has adopted
concrete, on which there is open COM
petition, as the standard material for
all state highways and which Gun be
laid for about 81 a yard less than the
patented material.
The people of Middlesex county, who
are already carrying the largest debt
of n county in the state and whose
tax rate is lowering around 81 on 800
are not inclined to tolerate
any of this high priced patented stuff
when concrete, which has proven to
be 30 acceptable under all conditions,
can be had for less money and with
open bidding.
The eyes of the county are on the
freeholders in this road paving matter.

INCREASE AND PENSION.

Increased pay for the postal EN-
ployes looks fine on the face of 1t, but
when taken In conjunction with the
law that has just been enacted Great
ing a pension fund for all civil service
men the raise, as far as meeting the
present high cost of living is concern
ed, does not amount to a great deal.
That Uncle Sam should give a pen
sion to It's old employees is freely ad-
mitted. 1t is also recognized that an
Increase in pay must be granted the
postal employees II the service is to be
maintained. Men OF whom n more
than usual amount of intelligence is
required, have been working all
through this period of high prices for
anywhere from $1,000 to s1,40O a
year. Now that hundreds of these old
and capable employees are leaving the
service to take positions where they
secure at least a living wage, congress
has woke up and an Increase of from
$3.50 to $3.50 a year is to be granted
provided the recommendation or the
commission appointed TO investigate
the situation is adopted. But even
$3.50 a year added to $f,400-which Is
more than the majority of postal EN-
ployes are getting or will get
amounts to but $3.50 a year which Is
nothing to brag about for a man who
has to bring up a family these days.
But now comes the pension fund.
fine in theory. but the principle on,
which II is based practically robs the
employe of all that he has gained by
the raise in salary. To create this
pension fund a certain amoun Is TO be
taken out of the employees a Thus
the increase in wages to be granted
will little more than meet this assess
ment for the pension fund. The re-
suit is, the postal employees. even with
the raise in salary will not receive In
actual cash to meet present conditions
much more than they are now getting,

or course. both the pension and the
Increase in salary. such as IT Is. are
welcome and thankfully received but

PRAISE COMMISSION FORM.


1t is significant that once commits
sion form Of government is adopted
by a city there is nc desire to change
back to the old form. True, the COM
mission form has not worked out as
well in some cities are 1t has In others
but it is realized that the commission
accomplish something worth while
should the people desire to have 1t.
One of the places where the com
mission form has worked out well is
Trenton. Commenting on the fact
that a movement for the adoption Of
a commission in Elizabeth has been
started. the Trenton Times says:
Another movement has been start
ed In Elizabeth to secure the adoption
of commission form Of government. II
will be under the direction Of a BIZ
partisan committee and will have the
support of several Democrats and Re
publicans of prominence. At about the
same time q campaign will be started
to bring about The adoption OF the
smaller Board Of F'reeholders law in
Union county. There has been a strong
sentiment IN favor vi commission gov
and the small board, which
has been spreading rapidly.
"T~hirty-nine municipalities in New
Jersey, including Newark. Jersey City,
Trenton. Atlantic City. Hoboksn.
Passaic and Orange. are now operat-
ing under the Walsh act. while more
than half of the twenty-one counties
have abolished the old. unwisidy and
ms satisfactory township and ward
Board OF F~reehoiders. That means
thai fully three-quarters Of the people
Of New Jersey are working under the
'short ballot sy stem, which concen-
trates responsibilities in the hands Of
few officials.
"since one never hears a suggestion
made that the small board and com
mission government be abolished In
any county or municipality that has
made the change, it must be assumed
that the people are satisfied with the
results achieved in the way of efici-
ency and more economical administra-
ton. The legislature will be justified
In making compulsory and genera! the
small board act, which Is opposed by
only a few selfish politicians in both
parties who fear that they may lose
their power"

Astrologers read this as a quiet
day, but the stars are not altogether
friendly. Mars rules with sinister
power. while Venus. Uranus and Sa-
turn are adverse.
Under this planetary direction dis
sentions n quarrels are likely to
multiply.
Ihsre is an especially menacing
sign that seems to indicate clashes
OF wits between men and women. This
mean great divergence OF opinion
concerning important public questions.
All the signs seem to indicate that
masculine traits will be strongly m
phasized in dealings that involve CO.
operation with omen.
The rule IS not a promising n
for domestic happiness or harmony
in organizations with memberships
of both sexes.
Quarrels may be easily started DUR
ing this sway of the stars and they
appear to be, for both Saturn and
Uranus are In malehc aspect.
Human impulses will continue to
be uncertain and vacillating. while
strange vagaries may be common
lamong both men and m
Uranus will continue to encourage
the most violent upheavals of old
conditions and the most sudden
changes of opinion. Men will be as
much affected as women by this gov-
eminent of the planets which will
igreatly influence the fall elections.
Disputes between persons In high
place again are foretold. In Eng
Hand both houses of Parliament will
fdevelop sensational scenes. while in
this country leaders of thought will
violently disagree.
Nome should be careful to guard
against the nurturing of old social
l~prejudices or the harboring of new
amin osities since their minrs will be
~assailed by many disturbing sugges-
tons and puZZling problems during
