THE CITy,s PARKS.


The wonderful possibilities of parks in Perth
Amboy is shown by the annual report submitted
TO the park commission at its meeting Thurs
day night. The development of Caledonia park
and Bayview park Is particularly gratityins.
Both of these places can be made beauty spots
IN the city and, eventually, they may be con-
nected by a boulevard and park extending all
the way around the bluff on the east side o:
Water street. No doubt a city plan would pro-
vide for such a development.
But parks in the other parts OF the city are
badly needed. OF course. the attraction that
the water front provides for park purposes can
not be excelled, but thousands of the people of
the city cannot get down to the water front
every day. They are entitled to parks some
where in their immediate neighborhood. This
IS a matter for the city plan again,
once a plan is adopted and parks are ~designat-
ed in the most suitable places, the city can go
ahead providing for their development. This
ought not to be delayed any longer and 1t is all
the more reason why every effort should be
made 20 give the city plan commission sufficient
funds to push their work with all possible speed
during the coming year.
superintendent Tooker proves himself to be
the right man in the right place and much is
expected Of him in regard to the care of the
shade trees of the city now that they have been
placed under the jurisdiction of the park board.
OF course, he must have adequate funds TO
work with. Any money placed at his disposal
to beautify the city is certain to be well handled.
We know Of nothing that Perth Amboy needs
more than it needs parks, but before it spends
much money on them the city ought to have a
plan so that no mistake will be made in laying
them out. Parks add to the JOY Of living and
to the contentment OF a municipality. They
make a city a better place TO live in. People
who cannot do anything else can always 80 to a
park and enjoy the fresh air the green grass,
the trees and the shrubbery.
But the people must be educated to take care
or the public property placed in the parks for
their benefit. The report OF Superintendent
rooker that drinking fountains are constantly
broken and benches destroyed is most dis
-eouraging. With the growth of a park system
he city will have to provide park guards. In
the meantime. it is a small speciman of hu-
Snanity. indeed, that will deliberately wreck
that it placed in a park for the pub
nc benefit.
For most cities OF this size the little plots
We call parks would be a joke, but it is a start
Tor Perth Amboy. 1t is a development that will
count for much as soon as there is a city plan
10 go by.

REAL MORN FOR FREEHoLpERs.

One of the most important roads in this sec
ton of the county-snd this is the section that
pays the bulk of the county tax-is the highway
connecting Perth Amboy with the borough OF
Roosevelt by way Of sewaren and Port Reading.
While this road lies wholly within Woodbridge
township it is not a local road by any means.
III it was Green street, Woodbridge, or Cliff
road, sewaren, it would be a different matter
because those thoroughfares are purely local in
character. This road from Perth Amboy to
Roosevelt is one of the main county highways
connecting two or three important municipali-
ties of the county and is therefore well within
the jurisdiction of the county to care for.

There's no fool like the middle-aged woman

they saw to il that the shoe tops came up TO

| may seem paradoxical. But it is a fact that
a man can be his own best friend and his own
worst enemy at one and the same time.
And the fact of the matter is that there are
almost as many Modern Inconvenience as there

MAKE A BUSINESS OF II.

II Perth Amboy is going to have a city plan
why not have one as soon as possible? Every
dollar spent for municipal improvement with
out such a plan. as long as the city is going to
have one eventually, is a dollar spent recklessly
and without knowing whether it is a good in
vestment or not.
Everybody knows that very little can be done
toward a comprehensive city plan with only
$500. As long as the Board OF Aldermen have
gone as far as they have in this matter why not
do something really worth while? Why dilly-
daily with a proposition which is admitted to be
a good thing and which to be of any use ought
to be adopted before any large sums are spent
on permanent improvement?
What is the city plan commission going to do
with itself all the rest of the year with its ac-
tivities limited to but $4,000? That is not
enough 10 warrant hiring an expert city plan
ming engineer to really go into the matter.
When this city is laid out for future develop
,nent it wants to be laid out right. We want
it to be a city of no mean proportions. We
want the best advice obtainable and the money
spent in securing the services of high class men
will not be wasted.
That $1,000 appropriated for civic celebra-
tlon, for instance. might better be devoted to
city planning. We know of no civic celebra-
ton contemplated for this year. There may be
other places in the present budget that might
be pared down a little in order that the city
plan can be advanced more rapidly. But even
4 slight increase in the budget for the sake of
this one project would be well worth while.
There is nothing more important before the city
at this time.

ner.
Now, however, nails are as cheaply
made as wire. There are thousands of
kinds of nails and taeks adapted to
every known purpose, all of them beau
tifuliy finished and always dependable.
On every farm and in every work
shop, the habit of saving old crooked
nails has been handed down from our
grandfathers and everyone who has
tried to make repairs on machinery OF
buildings and who has been compelled
to fish around in the old junk box and
straighten out crooked nails, has
learned that the time, thus consumed
has been often more than the time re-
CURED to do the repairing job.
30 it would seem that instead of buy
ing nails assorted and throwing them
all into one box, there to be fshed for
IS needed-that every workshop ought
to have full supply of nails from tiny
bFads to the largest spike, all in their
own receptacles, because time now has
become the most important item in any
Job. t
