VICTORY HIGHWAY A
NATION MONUMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Under
the direction of the California State
Automobile Association the work of
signing" the western end of the new
Victory highway, a transcontinental
thoroughfare stretching from New
York to San Francisco. is now under
way.
Engineer James W Johnson of the
association is engaged in completing
a reconnaissance of the route. Over
5000 of the regulation c. S. A. A. road
signs and auxiliary signs bearing the
name of San Francisco and the mile
age thereto coming west and New
York going east will be erected. The
regulation road signs will show the
nearest town and large city. with the
mileage thereto In either direction
Eight or ten months will be required
to complete the work
The Victory highway will be a ma
tional monument in honor of the liv-
ing and the dead who served in the
great world war The road Will
stretch from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cific. passing through Topeka. Kan,
the approximate geographical center
of the United States. The eastern
terminus of the highway will be New
York and the western terminal San
Francisco.
The Victory Highway Association in
selecting the route has had in mind
a highway that will best serve the
people In time of peace and the gov
eminent in time of war. The presi-
dent of the Victory Highway Associa-
ton is George w. Stansfield. a capt.
talist of Topeka. Kansas. who early
in 1921 conferred with officials of
the state automobile association to
obtain their cooperation in signing
this national monument to those who
fought and gave their lives in the
world war.
The association plans to complete
signing the highway to jefferson
City. Mo-. this year. and by the fall
of 1922 the entire route to New York
will be marked.
This Is the same organization that
placed the signs here recently. They
have completed posting Elko county
roads and are now in Utah.

THE SPIRIT THAT DOES THINGS

Morgan f. Larson, who is the Republican candidate
for state senate this fall, showed the right spirit at the COM
mittee meeting of the Board of Aldermen last Friday night
when the committee from the Chamber of Commerce was
present to urge waterfront improvement. When the sum
OF one million dollars was suggested as the least amount that
should be spent at the outset on the waterfront the question
at once arose as to how the money was to be secured. 1t
was on this point that Mr.. Larson made his remarks.
"When it comes to a matter of financing this thing" said
the city engineer, 1--WE can get the money all right" 1t
sounded refreshing TO hear such talk when the attitude of so
many would be boosters is to pull back with all kinds OF OBJ
jections, pointing out the reasons why a thing is impossible
rather than trying to find a way to make it possible.
".'Where there's a will there's a way" continued the
city engineer and he then proceeded to point out several
ways by which the money needed to finance this project can
be secured.
That is the kind of spirit that is going to put Perth
Amboy on the map. 1t is the feeling of power, confidence
and optimism that gets things done. 1t is the spirit that put
Perth Amboy where she is today and it is this spirit that is
going to make Perth Amboy a great seaport.
Those who have been studying this matter of harbor
development are convinced that Perth Amboy can spend a
million dollars, at least, in developing her waterfront with
out putting any burden whatever on the taxpayers. With
modern facilities for shipping, including warehouses will
railroad sidings along side and extending out on the pier
along side the vessel, the rental for such piers will more
than meet the interest on the bonds and provide for a sink
ing fund to retire the bonds when they mature. Bonds of
there is no reason why the development should not proceed
as soon as the commission that has been appointed by the
aldermen make their report.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Ugly rumors are afloat regarding the death Of a man
on the Pennsylvania railroad early Saturday morning. The
rumors include drinking in a saloon in the northern part of
the city, the activities of two policemen and the beating
up of the man who met his death.
When the rumors reached the ears of Chief of Police
Tonnesen an investigation was started resulting in the exon
Grafton of the two policemen. These policemen are declared
10 have set forth in a written statement that they had been
rallied to the saloon in question to eject the man who was
Trunk. Yet, apparently, no arrests were made for violation
# the Van Ness act.
md when the fact that any drunken man is cause for an
Investigation, does it mean nothing to these policemen to be
summoned to a saloon to help eject a "drunk?"
Having made this statement explaining how they came
10 be involved in this matter, would it not be in order
TO have the policemen explain why they took no action to-
ward closing up the saloon when the man was found drunk
therein? Why did they merely help eject the victim and let
it go at that?
AS for the rumors afloat, it would seem to be the duty
Of the coroner to look into this affair further. In most of
the counties when ever a body is found, especially if there
are any questionable circumstances surrounding the man
nr in which the fellow met his death, the coroner usually
holds an inquest to secure sworn testimony. This is not the
customfn Middlesex, but it might readily be made the Gus
tom. 1t would seem as if the coroner owed the public some
thing in this matter, as well as the police.
Putting "drunks' out of saloons these days is something
not to be treated so lightly. incidentally, here is good mate
rial for our new prohibition enforcement officer to work on
in carrying out his promise to "clean up MiddleseX county
or resign"
