TO KEEP THE BRIDGE OPEN

1t is with a great deal of satisfaction that it
is learned that the state highway bridge across
the Raritan river here is not to be closed while
extensive repairs are being made. Rumors have
been prevalent for several weeks that this work
was soon to start. In fact, 1t has been realized
for some time by those using the bridge that
some action would have to be taken shortly II
the bridge was to be kept in condition for traffic
Yesterday it became noised about that the
bridge was to be closed indefinitely Immediately
after Labor Day.
Naturally, there was much feeling among the
merchants Of this city over the matter. An
enormous business is done here with the towns
south of the bridge. To close the structure
would mean going around by the way OF Ne"
Brunswick. which would mean that to get to
South Amboy and back 1t would require a trip
of over fifty miles.
The EVENING NEWS Immediately got In
touch with State Engineer Wasser who was most
~positiye in his denial Of any Intention TO close
the bridge to traffic. The bridge Is to De re-
thanked with a heavier timber than mas peeh
used in the past, but the specifications require
that trafnc be maintained all the time the re-
r,onLine is going on. There will be delays OIL
corrse as one-way traffic will have to be MAIN
tanned ON that part of the bridge where the new
.,a,,s ara being laid. but the structure is to be
kept open at all times.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason

Ex-Kaiser Bill rears up and a

stubborn Dutch. '"Tis as your guest"

uuired, yet when l sell a cord of

The stolid Dutchmen make reply,

apprehension in regard to where the siding is
proposed to be placed, the EVENING NEWS
has gone into this matter in this exhaustive
manner In an effort to correct any impression
one might have that the siding was to occupy
the sidewalk on the High street frontage of the
Seaman property. The cable works, and the
cable works alone, are the only ones to be af-
fected. The EVENING NEWS repeats, if there
is anyone who still believes that he will be in
Jured by the extension of the siding on the east
side of High street up to Washington street. let
him come forth and tell what his injuries would
be.
This is a very important matter for the city.
It is, In a sense, to be taken as an indication OF
how far the city is willing to cooperate with the
industries located here to increase their facih-
ties. Recently a whole street was abandoned
for the benefit of the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company with little, If any. harm to anyone. IL
showed a spirit Of cooperation that means
much in securing future industries. The same
spirit ought to be shown for the Standard IN
d round Cable Company.
This is already an enormous concern employ
ing the largest number of men of any Industry
in Perth Amboy. 1t wants to become still
larger. 1t is bound to grow but II Perth Ampoy
puts stumbling blocks in its way or shows a dis
~nosition to antagonize 1t here, It will extend Its
activities elsewhere and this city will be the
loser.
II is time for the Board of Aldermen to cease
rubbing over this matter. Objections there Will
be. always. The bunk about widows and or
phans will not get very far with thinking peo-
pie for no widow or orphan is to be deprived
of anything by the construction of this siding.
On the other hand, many a child's father who
is now out of work might be able to get en-
ployment through the increased facilities
at the cable works made possible by this
siding. The cry OF a few radicals about the Ia
boring man being a slave does not get very far
when the condition of the most poorly paid
working man here in America today is COM
pared with the best In any other country In the
world.
This cable works siding matter is a clean-cut
proposition of helping or not helping a big In
dustry to increase its facilities. Increased facili-
ties means employing more hands thereby help
ing to reduce the number of unemployed in this
city. 1t came here of its own free will and has
built up an enormous concern. Every new in
dustry of this kind means much for Perth Am
boy. 1t is having such enormous industries as
this that cause communities to thrive. Perth
Amboy is an industrial city and will never be
anything else. 1t is our pride that we are such
an industrial city. 1t is to the city's interest
therefore, to do everything within reason to en-
courage rather than antagonize industry here.
All things considered, the request for the ex-
tension of the siding in High street is a reason
able proposition.
