URGE SO. AMBOY TO ADOPT
zOhING Law FOR CITY
tBy Evening News Correspondent.I
SOTJTH AMROY. Nav TO-

SOUTH AMBOY, May TO-
With recommendations that the
council adopt a coming law and build
ing code the Board of Health last
night at a special session granted
one junk license and one temporary
permit.
For a time the session became very
warm and Mr.. Lovely. the president
of the board, had no little difficulty
in maintaining order. Property own
ers who were present protesting
against the junk dealers in their
present locations, junk dealers them
selves and interested parties had no
hesitancy in speaking on the subject
and all desired to speak at one time.
The members of the board were con-
stantly clamoring for order and de-
handing that the side lines" keep
quiet. In every instance Mr.. Love-
ly voted mo" on the granting of the
licences and permits.
The Junk dealers were given to
understand that they had better look
for a new location as when the licen-
SEES came up for renewal the board
would not grant them. Mr.. Lovely
strenuously opposed granting any Ii
cense until the places were cleaned
up or they moved out of town with
their storage yards. 1t was the con-
tention of DIR. Weber and Mr.. Oliver
that it was impossible for the board
to drive the junk men out of bust
ness-that i was not the intention
of the board to do that-but they did
insist on protecting he health of the
J community. He maintained hat the
board had no choice but to grant the
license to Mr.. Goldstein when he re-
peatediy stated that he would con-
form with the terms Of the ordin-
ance. 1t was Mr.. Clivers contention
that the license should be granted
and after making the grant the mai
did o live up to the rules to re-
woke the license.
1t was commonly admitted that
the only way to regulate such nuis-
ances was by means of a zone or
dinance which would prescribe the
location for such particular indus
tries.

PUBLIC OPINION
PRESIDENT AND FOREIGN
RELATIONS.

Editor Evening News:
The editorial in Saturdays Even
Ing News, l read with interest. 1t
had punch to it. Evening News edi-
t~orials, as a rule. though very good
at heart, remind one of near-beer.,
they lack the convincing kick. l
don't know who writes them. but,
whoever it is. loosen up. get more
fire under the boiler. l like man
or newspaper to take a definite stand
whether it be right or wrong, on all
questions of public welfare, and
stand in such a way that a fellow
can see how they look in that posi-
ton.
l would like whoever wrote Sat
urday's editorial to read it over care
fully and then sit down and write
another and tell us what you were
thinking about when you wrote 1t.
/. Just tell us what you would do if you
were President Harding and had
been elected President by the larg-
est majority eve given to any man,
and that majority had been rolled
up to you on an out and out cam
paign against the League of Nations
and against the ratification of the
Versailles treaty of which the League
Of Nations was an inseparable inSre-
dent. Would you cheerfully &C.
cept the League ENHANCEMENT, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Woodrow
Wilson. who preached peace to Sc
cure his re election and later con-
fessed hat at the very moment he
was shouting for peace he believed
war inevitable? Do you believe in
securing your election. any old way
at all. and. once 1t is secured. doing
as you damn please?
ga stitch in time saves nine" 1t
always seemed to me that If Wilson
; had shown the proper spirit at the
very beginning of the European hos
~tilities. and had upheld the honor of
the United States, not only against
German intrigues, but also against
English duplicity, it would never
have been necessary for us to have
entered the war. We would not now
have with us a hundred thousand
crippled soldiers of whom both the
past and the present administration
seems quite unmindful.
Furthermore it seems to me that
II Wilson had taken his Fourteen
Points-the whole American people
then stood as n mar at his back
driven them home and broken them
off between the ribs of Lloyd George
and ~Clemenceau instead of listening
to their willy sophistries. the much
mooted European question would
have been settled then and there.
Then we had England. france and
Germany all bottom up on u
knee and could have spanked sense
into them if necessary. but u leader
