HE~
VOTE NOW.

Ballots in the election of directors
<or the Earitan Terminal and Water
way Association are not being sent In
as rapidly as they ought to be by the
members in this city. If there is any
place where there should be interest
in waterway development 1t Is Perth
Amboy. The whole future of the city
depends on the Use we make of our
harbor. The greater the development
the greater the city. and the greater
the city the greater will be the bust
ness done here.
II is a small thing that Is asked of
the members. \ ballot a been sent
out by the Chamber Of Commerce
giving the IN Of the men nominat-
cd for directors. Nine are to be elect
cd. The nominees come from all the
towns and cities represented I'm the
association. Every person who has
received one of these ballots is asked
merely to place an tx" opposite the
nine men he favors for directors and
send the ballot thus marked to the
Chamber of Commerce In the envelope
which has been provided for the pur-
pose. II requires only the expenditure
Of Il two cent stamp and a minute or
two of Zine thai it takes to mark the
ballot. \ mans interest in h de-
vclopment of his city must be slight
indeed for him to refuse to do even
this much toward making the Raritan
Terminal and Waterway Association
a success. If the ballot has been mis-
laid or spoiled. ask the Chamber Of
Commerce for another. The thing is
to vote to show Interest in the move
ment if for no other reason.
we understand that Perth Amboy
members are not showing the interest
in this election that is being manifest
ed I'm other places. New Brunswick,
for instance. is making a great effort
to have all the men who have been
nominated from hat city elected. A
circular was enclosed with every bal
lot sent out by the New Brunswick
Board of Trade giving the names of
the New Brunswick candidates on a
separate sheet with the tip TO vote
for these"
We are glad to see New Brunswick
so thoroughly awake in this matter.
Most of the waterway booming of the
past has come from Perth Amboy.
But the development OF the Raritan
bay and river section is such a great
project that it is only by all the places
to be benefited working together that
real results can be attained.
But because New Brunswick Is so
thoroughly awake to the situation is
no reason why Perth Amboy should go
to sleep. The incentive to do some
thing worth while should be all the
greater now that our sister munich
palities are becoming so active.
With the president of the Raritan
Terminal and Waterway Association,
Jean Dubois, a resident of this city it
behooves his fellow members here to

taking. Hunt up that neglected ballot,
then, and get busy. There are several
days left for voting. but do it now be-
