What Insurance Companies Say About
The W. R. /.

The Secretary of one of the large
private insurance companies recently
said of Government Insurance:
"Of course. life insurance company
cannot grant insurance at less than
cost but the Government offers insur-
ance to soldiers and sailors at less than
cost because the government bears all
expense Of management, eliminating
additional charge for agents and other
overhead expenses. The Government
10 justified in this liberality in consid.
GRAFTON of the fact that these soldiers
and sailors have risked their lives. or
have been willing to risk their lives.
for the benefit of the Nation. All this
being so. it is obviously expedient tor
soldiers and sailors to take oil the in
surance offered by the Government at
the low rate charged"
The company whose secretary made
the above statement has instructed all
its agents to refuse to take spplics-
tions from soldiers and sailors until
they have taken the full amount of the
new Government Insurance to which
they are entitled.
The Home Service Committee of the
Cresco Chapter of the Red Cross, has
instructed their Chairman and Secre-
tary to explain the terms Of Govern.
/ ment Insurance to all ex.service men.
The Home Service workers who ere To-
Gated At Cresco in urging service men
to continue Government Insurance. are
not acting without information. but
upon the advice Of some Of the best in
surance men in the country. There is
still opportunity for any man whose
health is a. good o. it was at the time
his insurance lspsed. to re-instate.
Miss Silliman Of the local Home Ser
vice Office will gladly assist in filling
out the necessary forms. ".$..i

THE BRIDGE

Mayor Dorsey has excellent
reasons for v~etoing the ordinance to
pave Herbert street at this time. As
long as the final location Of the
bridge cross the Raritan river Is
undetermined 1t would be foolish to
plan approaches to it.
Report has 1t that when the state
finally builds a new structure 1t will
be located west of the present bridge.
1t is desired, for one thing to have
the bridge as nearly opposite the
Convery place bridge as possible.
But to make a continuation Of
Convery place would mean to cut a
street directly through the center OF
the C. Pardee property and 1t is
doubtful If q great industry OF this
kind could be cut In two in such a
manner ever for the opening OF a
state highway.
The main object seems to be TO
cross the river at its point
and reach the long grassy point on
the south side of the stream. But
this might be done from the Sheri-
dan street approach If the bridge
were run straight across instead of
curving to the eastward as at present.
Be that as it may. the fact that
the site for the bridge has not been
definitely determined is reason
enough for not going to any expense
in paving what might or might not
be an approach to the structure. The
mayor does well to hold up the
matter.
But the whole thing again empha-
sizes the need of a city plan, about
which the EVENING NEWS has had
so much to say and for which the
Board of Aldermen have a~ppropriat-
ed $4,000 but thus far have done

Perth Amboy ought to have some
thing to say as to where the approach
to that bridge is going to be. If re
had an expert city planner at work
the whole thing could be worked out
in conjunction with the development
of the city at large. There is no
telling how much of the city's future
development is wrapped up In the
approach to that bridge. a city plan
would show all this and would give
the city something to work on.
1t is to be hoped that something
will be done before very long toward
getting a real city plan started. In
the meantime there is no use guess

too much these days. Let's have q

TEACHERS SALARIES

BY fixing a minimum salary of
$1,000 for public school teachers in
this city the Board OF Education has
established q scale that ought 20
meet with general approval. For
tho remainder of the present year &
bonus Of 500 in addition to the $25
still due on the bonus granted last
year, will be paid In installments Of
$40 each month until school closes.
The $25 is to be given at the Easter
vacation.
For a young girl just out Of school
to9step into Il position paying $1,000
for ten months work, an average Of
500 a month, would strike most
persons as being a very good
start, Few college men with a tech
meal training, upon beginning work
In any Of the large Industries of the
country do any better than that,
many of them do not fare as we'll.
Then, these teachers receive an adj
vance in salary year after year for
twelve years, being assured of their
position after three years and, at the
same time, have the comforting
thought hat there Is a substantial
pension awaiting them when they
become incapacltated.
True, there are some in the teach,
ers' profession who might do a great
deal better IL they had gone into
some other line of work, but 1t IS
also true thar there are a great many
that would have Jared not so well.
1t has beer a great problem that
tho school authorities have had to
solve and it looks as il they had
handled the matter in Il very thor
ough n satisfactory manner That
present prices fully warranted an in
crease in salary for the teachers
everyone is ready to admit. The
fact remained, however. that under
the law salaries once raised cannot
be reduced. Naturally, the school
board have to consider the future as
well as the present and they must
look at the matter from the stand
point of the taxpayers as well as
from the side of the teachers. It
must be realized hat this raise
granted to the teachers means an
additional expense of $4,000 next
year which the taxpayers Will have
to meet. But realizing the import
ance Of maintaining the public
schools to their full efficiency the
money is not begrudged.
While 1t is very likely that there
will be legislation along this line
during tho present session Of the
legislature, it Is hardly likely that
the standards adopted by the school
board here will be exceeded. The
fact that the Board of Education has
voluntarily raised the salaries to the
new figures shows q willingness on
their part to do everything possible
to meet the wishes of the teachers
and stlll fulfll their obligations to
the taxpayers.
