PAVING THE CITY STREETS.

d ono of the aldermen in explaining why the
city deliberately specifies a material put out by
the patent paving interests in its specifications
for paving the streets that are to be improved
this year said that the property owners had re-
ouested that particular kind of material be
used This refers to Brace avenue and Convery
place in particular. AS no petition was filed
with the aldermen in regard to the kind of pave
ment to be laid it would be interesting to know
how unanimous was the sentiment in favor of a
patent pavement and whether or not the people
had the difference in the various kinds of pave
ments and the prices. explained to them.
But even after the property owners have been
consulted theirs is not the final say. The city
at large pays a good percentage of the cost of
the pavement and while 1t is desirable to give
the property owners as nearly what they want
as possible, the interest Of all the taxpayers
must be safeguarded. In Newark the property
owners do not have anything to say in regard to
the kind of paving material to be used. In set
ting forth the program for street paving
there this spring the commissioner in charge
announced a policy of granite block on COM
mercial streets where the trucking is heavy and
sbeet asphalt on residential streets. This set
ties the matter of paving as far as Newark is
concerned. 1t standardizes street paving and

Ny neighbor, Hiram Henry Hicks,

theme that makes me sore. SO
Hiram Henry seems a bore. But
I'm the sort of saphead wight who

II. Henry Hicks runs dry. and l

signs, and hot tears gather in his
eyes, and then he reaches for his
hat, his parasol, brass knucks and

shack-he cannot bear to hear me
clack. And Hiram Hicks is short of
friends; the people shun him as he

If you should chance to be in Lon
don tomorrow, you would not be
able to do much business except to
buy button hole bouquets OF prim-
roses. II you asked why English
people were celebrating April 10 as
Primrose Day. you would be told
that April 10 was the anniversary
Of the death of Disraeli, Lord Bea-
consfield. They would add that the
primrose was his %favorite flower.
It is a strange thing, and the
Encyclopedia Britannica says it is
unprecedented. for England, to cell
citrate with rejoicing the anniversary
of a stateman's death; the reason
for that date. rather than that of his
birth. December 81, appears to be
that on April 10. it is possible to
wear the primrose.
Disraeli was a lover of flowers,
but mostly Of flowers less modest
and more SNOWY than the primrose;
why Is the primrose supposed to have
been his favorite? The Britannica
says that no IN seems to know. And
that learned publication does not tell
what its editors probably had heard.
that the only thing certainly known
about Disraeli's feeling about prim-
roses is that he told his gardener
to dig up some Of them and throw
them away.
The truth seems to be that when

BY DIR. W. E.. BARTON

Lord Beaconsfield died, Queen Vic.
toria sent a wreath Of primroses with
a card, bearing the legend, His Fav.
| orite Flower" The British empire
took 1t for granted that Victoria
| knew what Disraelfs favorite flower
had been. But. as 1t is now believed,
Victoria was not referring to Dis
raeli at ali, but to her long-dead
husband. Prince Edward.
Now it was very well for Victoria
to remember with affection the COM
monplace German prince to whom
| she had been married. but England
| was not thinking much about him
on the morning Of April 10. 1881,
| when her prime minister lay dead.
Great Britain still refuses to believe
that Victoria was not thinking about
Beaconsf1eld! He it vas who elevate
ed her throne from that of q queen
and made her empress of india: and
she was very happy in the possession

So dizzy gets the primrose, be.

q. Was the tone of the Liberty
Bell changed when it was recast?-
G. NJ. w.
A The original Liberty Bell was
considered too high in tone. The
bell cracked when being tested. so 1t
was recast and copper was added
to lower the tone of the bell. The
result was not satisfactory, the tone
being too low. Another recasting
produced a satisfactory tone and
the bell was hung.

MAKE 1T A REAL ASSET.

The improvement noted at the foot Of Catalpa,
Brighton and Madison avenues where the city
owns valuable lands for park and terminal pur-
poses, is commendable, but it IL not enough.
This land ought not to be remain idle year after
year when there is such a great demand on the
part OF the people for parks and recreation
centers.
Vacation time will soon be here. Perth AM
boy is made up of a class of people who cannot
afford to go away for the summer. A great
many do not get away for even the customary
two weeks. AS a matter of fact, Perth Amboy
could be made a most delightful place in which
to spend the summer. There are those still
living here who can remember when Perth Am
boy was the leading summer resort in New Jer-
sey. That was before the days of Long Branch
and Asbury Park. The southerners used to
come here in large numbers to enjoy our de-
lightful climate and beautiful bay.
The climate and bay are just the same as they
were fifty or sixty years ago. If the city was
an attractive summer resort then 1t can be made
attractive now. True. it can never be made a
resort because Perth Amboy has become a great
Industrial city. But by fixing up the waterfront
a delightful place can be made for the thou
sands of residents who spend their summers
here.
Other cities are spending hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars on their park systems. Plain
field is going to invest $4,000 this year in this
way. III Perth Amboy should spend that sum
of money on the property it already owns along
the river establishing bathing beaches, recrea-
ton piers. walks and drives, the attractiveness
of the city would be greatly increased and the
returns would be received in the form of hap
pier, healthier and more contented people.
1t is we'll that this tract at the foot of Brigh-
ton and Madison avenues is put in presentable
shane once more. 1t ought to be made a real
asset for the city.

petrify wood?-I. T.
A. The Bureau of Forestry says
that there is no way to petrify wood
1t takes 100000 years for the nat
ural phenomenon to take place.
@. What causes trench foot?"-
G.. A. II.
A. Trench foot is traceable to
exposure (cold. mud, slush) but
more particularly to muscular In
activity, due to the confined trench
quarters, especially in the long-sus-
tanned sitting positions in which the
pressure under the knees slows the
circulation.

Mother of Russians "A. A. w.
A. Moscow, the former capital
of Russia, was called the Holy
Mother of Russians. This title is
still in use among the peasantry.
@. What is the range of a French
horn PM. s.
A, This horn has a range from
B fat to f-2, but the four tones at
either extreme are difficult and are
seldom used.

the city. by owning its own asphalt repair out
fit, is able to keep its streets in good condition
at comparatively little expense. Newark streets
are not a hodge-podge of everything-particu-
Iarly high-priced patented stuff forced on the
public through insidious propaganda.
In Perth Amboy there is another phase to the
situation. We have large industries here en-
ploying thousands of men. When these indus
tries are busy the men are all working, money
is circulating and business is good, making the
city prosperous. At the present time many of
these industries are working only part time.
Hundreds of men are idle and business generally
is effected. Anything we, as a city. can do to
increase the work of these industries is so much
toward adding to the prosperity of the town.
One of the largest industries here is the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving Company's plant. Why
should not Perth Amboy, especially at this time,
do everything possible to bring business to
this large industry thereby helping to i'm
prove the local business conditions? Warran-
ite has nothing on sheet asphalt for wearing
qualities and it is doubtful if it is as cheap. In
fact, with the asphalt plant right here in the
city, thus reducing the cost of transportation

decided saving in the use of asphalt. IS for

especially for city streets. It's big advantage is
that it can be so easily taken up for fixing leaks
in water mains and making gas connections, and
replaced without in any way damaging the
street as a whole.
1t is to be regretted that the Board of Alder
men did not at least give this important local
industry a chance when planning for the paw
ing of the streets that are to be improved this
year. 1t is particularly regrettable that they
have permitted themselves to let the patent
pavement interests put one over right here in
the city where the asphalt interests play such
an important part in our local prosperity. With
all the suspicious going the rounds regarding
the methods of the patent pavemen concern, it
would have been wise for the aldermen to avoid
even the appearance of playing into the hands Of
such a combination.
