ed $40 an acre as the price which
the state is willing to accept for the

government. l have lived in New
Brunswick and Jersey City where
they have such form of government,
and it has been a disappointment to
all of us. Like all new brooms it
swept clean for a short while until
the big three" formed a combine
and have the city at its mercy. My
objection to this form of govern
ment is that you have a Gear" gov
eminent, each commissioner is a
z a unto himself. We have just
fought a war to do away with mon
archs and 1 cannot see why we
should have five Gears" and three
form a combine.
Under such government nobody
knows before election who will be
the mayor, the complicated ballot is
hard for the workingman to under
stand. He does not know how to
vote, who he is voting for and how
his vote will be counted.
1 notice you say if the commits
sioners do not do the right thing
you can recall them. This sounds
nice in theory, but does not work
out, because you must wait until
the commissioner has been in INC
one year before you can do it, and
Inen you must get up a petition with
about fifteen per cent of voters to
sign, which takes about six months
to get ready. and then you must
call a special election. This costs
lots of money and why should the
taxpayers stand for this. Under
present government you have an
election every year and you can
make a change without expense TO
taxpayers. You say it is a bad thing
to elect commissioners from dis
tricts. I do not think so. While it
is not compulsory that all commits
sioners should come from one ward,
yet that is mostly always the case
as has happened in other cities.
This great country of ours was
founded upon a representative basis.
I know from experience where I
lived that the commissioners have
their own political club, do not care
for anyone else. because there is no
organized opposition. There must be
some opposition Cor competition) in
government or business, if there is
none, the one In power or control,
or alone in business defies everybody
else, because he need fear no oppo-
sition. The city of Trenton which
has always been looked upon as a
model city, is now in an uproar be-
cause the mayor has been debating
to the School board and because of
his vulgarity in public. If you will
road he Trenton papers you will
probably change your mind that be-
cause a man is called a commits
sioner' that makes him better. or
because you have a commission gov
erned city, it makes the city better.
You say that commissioners must
devote all of their time to the city.
From experience in Newark, l find
that all of the commissioners are
in business. The mayor is in the in
surance and real estate business.
Another is in the contracting bust
ness, and so on down the line.
The world is upset enough is 1t is
without upsetting nor Let well
enough alone. Mr.. Editor, I hope
you will publish this in your paper.

GAS QUANTITY AND QUALITY.

Increasing the price of gas is one
thing and reducing the quality of
the gas is quite another. In both
Instances the company wins. Realiz-
ing the increased ost of production
and materials generally. however,
there may be justification in grant
ing the gas company more money.
Without entering into the merits of
this side Of the question, the feature
that is causing some concern is
whether or not the supply of gas is
going to be adequate for general use
when the quality is cut down in &C
cordance with the permission grant
ed by the Public Utility Commits
sion.
Perth Amboy has had consider
able trouble with gas. particularly
in regard to the pressure. By re-
ducing the heat units in the gas it
is going to require that much more
gas to give the same amount Of heat
or light as we are receiving now.
This means that the meter will go
around faster and the bill will be
larger at the end of the month. But
if it is possible to secure enough gas
to do the desired work we do not
believe there will be much COM
plant.
In some sections of the city, even
during the week, the gas has been
so bad that the fame on the gas
stove has been, at times, hardly
adequate for cooking a meal. On
Sunday the pressure is particularly
bad. Persons depending entirely on
gas for cooking find it dificult to
cook a Sunday dinner because of
the poor gas. Unless the pressure
is greatly increased SO as to furnish
a better flame, conditions are 60
ing to be still worse when the units
of heat in what gas is furnished is
reduced to even less than what it is
now.
II the gas companies must have
more money to keep going they
ought to have it. But when it comes
to reducing the quality of the gas,
care must be taken that quality is
made up by quantity.

THE Pos1cEMEN,s POSITION.

There is much qualification in the
positive statement by a number of
policemen that they are not con-
corning themselves one way or the
other on the question of commission
government. A few days ago we
commented on the fact that it was
understood that the policemen and
firemen are opposing commission
government. The policemen say
this is not so as far as they are con-
cerned. They say they have not
discussed it as a body. We are glad
to hear 1t.
AS we stated before the police
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose under the commission gov
eminent plan. They are freed from
politics and will receive much bet
ter support in the performance OF
their duty. AT least. they will know
who is the head of the department
which is more than they know now.
More and more it looks as II the
people of the city are determined to
seize this opportunity to give Perth
Amboy a modern and up-to-date
government. Now, when the city Is
just entering upon the greatest per-
iod in its history is the time to lay
the Foundation for the big things
that are to come. When hundred;
of progressive cities all oyer the
country find in the commission form
of government the best means of do
ings things Perth Amboy can make
no mistake in giving it a trial.
As far as the policemen's jobs ant
the pay are concerned they are no
affected whether commission gov
eminent is adopted or not. 1t is /
fact, however. judging from the re.
suit in other cities, that many of tn,
disagreeable features that a police.
man has to contend with in tn,
average city where dirty ward poll
tics controls. are wiped out

eminent 10 the fear OF the people
He does not have TO fear any polfti-
cal boss. He Is not afraid to do
his duty for fear Of hurting the In
terests Of his party organization.
There is nobody holding an axe over
his head ready to end his public
caree IL he does not do as he is
told. except the people.
As for the row in Trenton at the
present time. K Is a good sign. II
one of the commissioners is trying
to put something over and has been
caught and made to answer for his
act, that shows that the people Of
Trenton are alert and they are able
TO place the responsibility exactly
where It belongs.
As for the desire TO let well
enough alone. rather we would say
the writer OF the letter published
today wants to let bad enough alone.
Things can hardly be any worse
than they are under our present
system OF government and we can
at least try to make them better.
That is what we are in this COM
mission government movement for.
AS said before. the EVENING
NEWS is glad TO receive any letter
on this subject The more we hear
the objections that are raised to
commission government the more
convinced we become that 1t Is a
good thing. We haven't yet found
an argument that will stand up
against the commission government
facts.
