BURLESON DEFENDS WILSON'S
MOVE ON POSTMASTERS
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of Tn
Evening NeWs)

(Washington Correspondent of The
Evening News)
WASHINGTON, March 3:-Since
President Wilson issued the execu-
tive order of March 81, 1917. plac-
ing all postmaster appointments I'M
der the civil service the postofice
department has been appointing the
highest qualified eligible entirely
without regard to politics and with
u learning the political affiliations
of the appointees. Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson declares in a state
ment issued today.
The statement is a reply to allega-
tons recently made by Republicans
thai the Wilson executive order has
not been sincerely carried out, but
has resulted in filling all the post
offices with Democrats. This asser-
ton is being held out as the ground
for the demand that President
Harding rescind the Wilson order
and throw all the postofhces open
to the old spells system.
Mr.. Burleson fatty denied the al
legation that the highest eligible
has often been put aside for a can
didate of lower standing for politi-
cal that the department
has not given proper preference TO
~ex-service men, and gives figures
showing that in Republican states
more Republican than Democratic
postmasters have been appointed
and that many Republicans have
been appointed in sweeping Demo-
cratic states.

SOUTH AMBOY. March "A
committee from the common coun-
Gil made a trip to Trenton yesterday
and attended a conference between
the officials OF South Amboy and the
members Of the highway commits
sion. The purpose Of the visit was
to secure immediate action of the
pavement OF Bordentown avenue be-
tween Pine and Stevens avenue and
the paving OF Pine avenue from BOr-
dentown venue TO the city line.
The committee was successful in
its efforts and work will be started
within a short time. It is understood
hat bids will be called for within a
few days. In getting this improve
ment the city fathers had to accept
a number Of things they did not
want. In the first place the stretch
Of pavement between Pine and Stew
ems avenue on Bordentown will be
concrete while the rest OF the road
will be OF a Warrenite covering.
The plans Of the highway depart
ment calls for the abandoning Of the
tracks of the Public Service Trolley

city line. The people Of this city
greatly object to this feature but

number Of items not otherwise de-
sirable.
Under the present plan the tracks
will turn in a loop just this side of
the cemetery on private property re-
| Gently secured by the trolley com
pany. A feature of this improvement
will be the elimination Of the double
IS" curve at this point. The high
way commission has purchased prop
erty from o. NJ. Mundy and will
make a big sweeping curve at this
point instead. The new curve will
start at louisa street and continue
as far as Portia. Under the pres
emit plan this will leave the easterly
side of Pine avenue at the corner
of Portia street about fifty feet back
from the road.
Another feature OF the improve
ment will be the widening of the
road between the cemetery and the
fence line. This road will be in
creased to fifty-three feet. -four in
ches, with thirteen feet side walks
on each side. The old chapel will
re removed and the entire property
in that section graded and improved.
Under the present plan the two
trolley tracks on B~ordentown ave-
nue. will be eliminated and one track
in the center of the road will be built
instead.
