moderate speed at frequent intervals would be
ideal for the service between the two Amboys.
These buses could take different routes upon en-
tering either city and thereby afford the greatest
accommodation. But II the bridge is to be
crowded with buses in addition to the ever in
creasing traffic that It is called upon to carry,
especially in the summer 1t must be made wide
enough to accommodate such trafhc without
danger and there ought to be adequate side
walks provided.
As a matter of fact, the two Amboys are so
vitality interested in the construction of this
bridge that even il it is a state affair local au-
thorities on both sides of the river must be on
the alert to see that the interests of the two
municipalities are protected. This matter OF
trolley accommodations is only one matter to
be given attention. Other matters will arise as
time goes on.
1t would not be s1niss for the two Amboys TO
get together on the matter. appoint a joint COM
mission to study the problem and see to it that
local conditions are properly looked after. At
the same time. the city plan commission has a
responsibility in the matter of the approach
and proper street transportation in connection
With the bridge. The quicker the commission
gets an expert on this problem the better.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-02-16
LOCAL INTERESTS On NEW BRIDGE

while it will be several years yet before the
new state highway bridge across the Rarltan
river between the Amboys is open to traffic 1t
Is not too soon to take under consideration the
matter Of adequate transportation between
Perth and South Amboy. To eliminate the
trolley on the bridge as is now proposed would
mean that the buses would have a monopoly of
Che trafnc except for such competition as the
railroad would give.
While the EVENING NEWS believes that
buses properly constructed and properly oper-
sfed would be a decided Improvement over the
trolley as now operated and maintained, unless
the trolley is to be entirely eliminated and the
proper kind of bus service substituted, provision
ought to be made for a continuation of trolley
trafhc.
The Jersey Central Traction Company has a
franchise to operate a trolley line across the
spans and draw of the present bridge. 1t is
raturai TO suppose that when the state took over
the control of the bridge It assumed all the
franchises and responsibilities that went with
the bridge. The fact that the present bridge Is
tn be replaced by a new structure in a different
location ought not to invalidate the franchise.
IL would seem as If the franchise rights went
with the new bridge.
But the word franchise" has come to mean
s. little these days, especially when any of the
provisions of the franchise interfered with what
a public utility corporation has wanted to do.
It would be but giving the corporations a
dose Of their own treatment II the state should
decide to ignore franchises, too.
But II behooves both Perth and South Am
boy to guard their interests in the construction
Of this state highway bridge. There must be
adequate transportation between the two places
and this means a great deal better service than
he railroads are capable of giving. Low. up
der-siung buses with ample room and run at

RIPPING RHYMES

EUGENE DEBS

In a prison cell he sits. for his
carnival of crime. jailed for throw
ing sundry fits at a nervous. cru
clay time. Now the crucial time is
past, and 'twould make the angels
weep that we hold him Gagged and
fast, signing in his donjon keep.
Poor Eugenei His heart is good,
and his courage high and strong.
but his head has wheels of wood
and they're always turning wrong;
and when war was sweeping by,
sponsored by some tinhorn kings,
he reared up, niEe cubits high. and
reeled off some foolish things.
Then the hearts of men were hot
as we watched wars crimson tide,
and we all were talking rot-but we
took the proper side. Then the
wheels in Eugene's head backward
turned. as is their wont, and he
paved around and said silly things,
in language blunt. And he's been
in jail for years. and 1t seems he'll
remain, while the beastly p%rofiteers
fiouish on their crooked gain; and
the gangsters run at large. and the
slayers shoot and stab. and they are
not placed in charge of the prison
grim and drab: and the swindlers
and the thieves raise their divers
kinds of hell. while poor Eugene sits
and grieves at the window of his
cell. In the hustle and the rush
many errors must prevail, but IL
Uncle Sam should blush that this
man remains in jail.

MDpLEsEx AND UNION RATABLEs

Union county officials seem to be real peeved
about the tax assessments in Middlesex county.
Union county, with its vast wealth included in
cities of Elizabeth and Plainfeld as well as the
suburban towns of westheld. Crawford and
similar places, cannot seem to understand why
Middlesex county made up of plain, ordinary,
working people. should not have as high rata
bles as the millionaire county adjoining. The
two counties are not to be compared in the
matter of valuations. Not only is Union a
county filled with milnonaires' homes. but it
has great industries far surprising in value any
thing to be found in Middlesex. Yer the Of
ncials Of Union county seem to think that the
ratables of Middlesex ought to equal those of
Un'on county.
As far as waterfront property is concerned.
The time may come when the shore lands in
this county will be extremely valuable. but as
all the development thus far has been for the
benefit of the upper part of the state including
Shooter Island and Tremley Point where the
Standard Oil plant is located. it is not to be
expected that values here will be as great. The
waterfront in this section is just about as nature
made it and as a result it can hardly be ex-
pected to equal in value the waterfront Of
Elizabeth and vicinity.
When all things are considered, therefore,
the difference between the ratables of Union
and Middlesex counties is not surprising. No
doubt there may be instances here and there, as
in any county. where the assessment may be
low, but taken as a whole. the fight Union
county is making against Middlesex is entirely
unjustihed.
