A communication from w. Fl.
Hitchcock, superintendent of the
Jersey Central Traction Company,
stating that Mrs. George Click had
received service from the company
and a meter had been installed in
her home. The communication was
in answer to q letter from the city

puts his faith in the elements of the
puddle, never thinking what wou
happen IL there were no puddle.
The Evening News has asked Mr..
Hoy to explain what constituents
he consulted in the matter of the
kind of pavement desired by the
taxpayers on the Fords-Rogan's
Corner road and 1 challenged him to
produce the original petition for the
of the same road, but the
committeeman, as yet. has a no
effort to give the people the desired
information. What about the tad-
pole and the puddle?
The Board of Freeholders have
made two or three public statements
in regard to certain questions put to
them and, though not making any

yisable to make some kind of a de-
Tense. Their defense" is not salts
factory, but it shows that they are
enough in the difficult
situation to have someone give the
public a Statement"
Mr.. Hoy knows that the Board of
placed the blame on
him for the using of a patented
on the Fords road and
that they said he told them he knew
what the people wanted. Mr.. Hoy
1oes not seem inclined to answer
his statement. His silence shifts
he blame back to the Board of
who, by the way, are
members Of his own political party.
Mr.. Hoy's attitude on this subject
has people guessing. Again we have
he tadpole and the puddle.
The Board of Freeholders have
given the cost per mile of several
roads completed in the county, but
failed to mention the Fords road.
The contract price of this road was
given out as being about $4,000.
The road is 5000 feet long. This a
little over a mile, but look at the
cost.
Mr.. Hoy, according TO figures and
the Board of Freeholders. is respon-
sible for the high cost of this road.
If he is not responsible, why does
not say a few words in his w
behalf. The taxpayers want to know.
Once more we have the tadpole and
the puddle.
In the Saturday issue of the Even
ing News l noticed a short letter
a taxpayer and resident of
In this letter he failed
to show why Mr.. Hoy was a good
representative of the people of the
Second ward.
In this letter he failed to mention
that only q short time ago he was
opposed to several projects Mr.. Hoy
favored. Neither did he mention the
fact that he was against Mr.. Hoy
when the committeeman asked the
to accept his offer of a
high priced water system, which the
people of Hopelawn rightly rejected.
1t is not necessary to go into de-
tail on this subject at the present
time. Mr.. Hoy has enough questions
to answer for the time being; and,
if he does attempt to make a public
statement he may find that he will
have all he can do without adding
more to the many subjects before
the voters of Fords, Hopelawn,
Keasbey, Iselin and Colonia.
Remember what President Lin
coin said, Mr.. Hoy-"You a fool
some of the people all of the time;
you can fool all of the people some
of the time, but you cannot fool all
of the people all of the time" 1 say
again, 1t is petty politics to dodge
the issues before the public. The
game of the tadpole neglecting the
puddle is only played n way. You
are keeping an anxious public wait
ing for an answer to all questions,
Mr.. Hoy.
