CONDITION OF BATHING BEACHES

There is a meaning for Perth Amboy in the
following item published in a metropolitan
newspaper Monday:
Because Newark bay is contaminated by sew
age and two children have contracted typhoid
from bathing in its waters, DR.. w. J. Brooke,
health officer of Bayonne, yesterday prohibited
further bathing there. If the warning is not
needed officers at the beaches will bar bathers.
Or. Brooke asked for a state investigation of the
bay"
With numerous sewers emptying into the bay
along our shore where thousands of people
bathe almost daily, it is only a question Of time
when some action will have to be taken here.
Must we wait until we have an epidemic of
typhoid before the aldermen act to give the peo-
a decent place for bathing?
The extremely warm weather this summer has
emphasized the necessity of municipal bathing
beaches here. With long stretches of city-owned
waterfront having beautiful beaches neglected
and unimproved, it seems a pity that the only
place the people have for bathing is a little mar
row stretch of beach under the Bluff run as a
private enterprise.

FARLEY DELEGATES DEBATE SUBMARINE PROPOSALS
Plans to AUoid the Wrecking of Irish
 Treaty Considered
By Associated Press

Dublin. December 2s.-Although no compromise between the opponents and advocates of the Anglo-Irish treaty in the Dali Eireann has yet been attained, future plans designed to avoid wrecking the agreement are being considered.
 It is generally recognized now that Eamonn DeValera was right in stat ing that. the Dail has no power to ratify the treaty The treaty itself prescribes the mode of ratification to be by the members elected to sit in the House of Commons of southern Ireland. which was constituted under the home rule act of 1920, but which actually never met and which, except for the purpose of ratifying the treaty. probably never will meet. Its membership Is nearly but not quite, the same as that of the Dali.
 The Dali includes some members from northern Ireland and excludes four elected to the southern Parlla- ment from Trinity college. The idea is that after the Dali approves the treaty. which it is expected to do by a comparatively small majority. the ratifying body named in the treaty be called. The Dail would still func- tion as Ireland's only recognized elected parliamentary assembly.
