CRIME WAVE NOT
 MATERiALIz|NG

Although some folks are consid- erab1y agitated over alleged 'crime wave,'' records of the local police department show that law breakers are unusually quiet here.
 Superintendent of Police Patrick Flanagan's assignment of special plain clothes men and motorcycle policemen to duty in various parts of the city, seems to have created a good effect
 Two small burg1aries weer reported this morning. II. s. Bowen reported that thieves entered his store at 65S South avenue sometime last night and stole q quantity of candy anA chewing gum and four pipes. 4 break was also made at the meae market of B. Rings, All West avenue
 If burglary insurance rates may be taken as q barometer on criminal ac- tivities, it may be said that Bridge port 5s doing fairly well in checking lawlessness. Rates on this particular brand of insurance, with the excep- ton of residence burglary have re- mained the same in this city during the past year.
 Records of the police department show that there have been II more burglaries here during the past year than there were in 1919. Up until December 23, 1920, 377 robberies were reported to the police. During the same period last year there were 366 burglaries. There have been I'll '"breaks' since July 16.

CLOVER SEED
TO SELL FOR
LOWER PRICES
SOW MICHIGAN GROWN SEED.
CROP REPORTED GOOD IN
MOST OF THE STATE

Clover seed can now be purchased
at a relatively cheap price, for the
first time in the last four years, ac-
cording to j. F.. Cox, head of the
farm crops department at the Mich
igan Agricultural College, Lansing.
The Michigan crop is in good condi-
ton and an excellent yield is report
ed in most sections of the state.
IF this seed is allowed to follow
theu sual market channels, much of
it will move outside the state, says
Professor Cox, "and Michigan far
mers who desire to purchase seed
next spring may have difficulty in
buying Michigan grown seed.
Many farmers, recognize the i'm
portance of securing good clover
crops and are buying seed from
neighbors and local dealers this fall.
This practice is one which the Farm
Crops Department at M. A. C. con-
siders an excellent one, provided the
clover is well cleaned, since Michigan
grown clover seed of good condition
and purity is best for planting, in
Michigan"

THE ESSENTIAL THINGS.

Some things are absolutely necesz
sary to a community regardless Of the
price to be paid. A city has got to
continue to serve the. people. With
costs of everything what they are to-
day increased taxes must be expected.
The only thing asked Is that expenses
be kept down to the minimum and
only the absolutely essential things be
done.
Among the latter are to be classed
the new reservoir for the city and ad-
,ditlonal school facilities. 1t will take
two or three years at least to get the
reservoir ready for use. In the mean
time the city is depending entirely on
la pipe line and the pumps at Runyon
for an adequate water supply. 1t IS
Ia serious situation. The wonder Is
THAT it has not been remedicd long
Operation any too quickly.
As for the public school, the chill
Idren must be educated and the city
is duty bound to furnish the accom-
Imodations. Everything considered it
is apparent hat the construction of
the new school In Hall avenue is the
lonly solution TO the problem that the
school board has to solve
Such matters as these cannot be de
ilayed.. Schools must be provided for
the children and the city's water sup
Iply must be ~safeguarded. These all
mean added expense to the taxpayers
however, and the fact that these pro
iiects have rightfully been given the
preference means careful handling of
iau the rest of the city's affairs.

Governor Edwards has made a good
start. His first veto is on the senate
bill appropriating 100000 for the
purchase of a dredger and other equip
ment to be usec In deepening the
waterway from Cold Spring Harbor TO
Bay Head. The governor gives ex-
ceIlent reasons for his action. 1.-THE
states financial condition. he says, lis
such that it cannot afford to spend
any such sum Of money for sGci, a
purpose"
1t is to be hoped the governor viii
follow this precedent and swat every
salary-raising, money-spending, debt
increasing bill that comes before him
that the state can possibly get along
without. The first duty OF every
official is to keep down expenses and
do only such work as is absolutely
necessary.
