NEW JERSEYS HARBoR. TOO.

1t begins to crate a little on the nerves to
have New York continually referring to the
waters hereabouts as being strictly New York
harbor without any rights whatever as far as
New Jersey is concerned. As a matter Of fact,
he harbor is as much New Jerseys as it is New
Works although it is known officially as New
York harbor.
In commenting on the recent decision Of the
secretary OF war denying New York permission
10 extend her piers any farther out into the
Hudson river in the Chelsea district, the mar
roHest part of the river. the New York Times
intimates that New Jersey has a selfish motive
in opposing such an extension. 1t then sarcast-
ically refers to New Jersey draining her sewer
age into New York harbor. But, as said before,
it is as much New Jerseys harbor as it is Nes
York's harbor and New York is pouring great
volumes of sewerage from nearly every street
end of Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn into
the waters of the harbor every day without any
treatment whatever and at places where ii is OF
the greatest detriment. New Jersey. on the
other hand. proposes to treat such sewerage

PLAY SAFE WITH YOUR MONEY.

With all the lawlessness going on all about
especially in the way of robberies and hold-ups,
it is always best to play safe. Persons travel
ing about with a lot of money on their person
or hidden away in a trunk at home are con-
SANITY in danger of losing it all. There have
been several instances of this kind recently.
The way to play safe is to open a savings ac-
count in some reliable bank. There the money
is not only safe but it is drawing interest which
means that it is working for YOU all the time
and not lying idle, as is the case when held
personally.
1t does not take much to start a savings ac-
count in any of the banks in this city. A dollar
or two will do it and then by adding a little
every time a few dollars are accumulated it will
be surprising how soon it will amount up-but
best of all. it will be safe.
The money thus put in the bank can be had
at any time for the asking. There is no red
tape about it. The point is, during these pre-
carious times playing safe with your money is
the best policy. Keep your spare change in the
bank and fool the robbers.

POWER IN WATER POWER.

nv developing our available water power IN
mis- country we can produce power at a rate OF
s15 a horse power. The power which runs the
largest English mills today is produced at a cost
OF sal a horse power. This is a very significant
and important fact.
another significant and important fact is that
today coal can be mined in the United States
and laid down in English ports cheaper than it
can be taken from the mines in England.
These we're among the statements made re-
Gently by General Hugh Cooper to a committee
Of the House investigating water power de-
velopment.
General Cooper speaks as one having author
ity. He is the man who developed the Niagara
Falls power. Also the power at Keokuk, Iowa
He has built numerous dams on the Mississippi
and has been engaged on the Muscle Shoals
works in Alabama.
During the war General Cooper served as a
dollar-a-year man. contributing his services to
the government. He took pains to tell the COM
mittee that he has all the money he wants or
needs. and that he is not a stakeholder in any
power corporation.
The development of water power in the
United states General Cooper regards as the
most important thing which can be done. Be-
fore the war the general says the SUBJECT u uS-
veloping water power was regarded as some
thin of a gamble. There were engineering
problems which at that time were not complete
" solved. Since then these engineering prob
.ems have been solved. and today the matter OF
developing power from falling water is a matter
Of absolute engineering certainty and mashe-
NAUTICAL precision.
There were strong limitations in what Gen
eral Cooper said that there are influences at
work in the United states against the develop
ment at government expense OF SIS horfe
power.
There is no question about the millions Of
horse power going to waste in America through
the neglect of the water courses. There is a
striking illustration just outside of Washington
and congress has had its attention called time
and again to the ability TO furnish all the
electric current needed to operate all street car
lines and light the whole District of Columbia
by merely developing the water power now be-
ing wasted, yet congress remains inactive. 1t is
time to overcome the adverse influences at work
in connection with the development OF this
great national resource and give industry the
benefit that could so easily be derived.

uoNoRINe CHIEF BURKE.

The esteem in which Chief Of Police Patrick
J. Burke is held by the people of this city Is
shown by action taken By prominent business
men in arranging a dinner for the
retiring chief and the resolutions adopted urs-
ms the Board OF Aldermen to make the chiefs
pension $500.
Chief Burke certainly deserves well of the
city which he has served so long and faithfully.
Having reached an age where it is difficult for
t. man to secure other lucrative employment
and with the law making 1t mandatory that
he shall be retired from his present position. It
is something that the city owes to the retiring
chief TO see that he is properly provided for.
Perth Amboy never has been stingy in its deal
ing with the police force. Every time there
has been a referendum on the matter OF an IN
crease in wages the vote has been overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of the increase. Any affair con-
Quoted under the auspices Of the police has been
generously patronized. The people have shown
that they know how to appreciate what these
men in uniform have done and are doing for the
city.
But for a man who has been as long in the SER
vic. Of the city as has Chief Burke everything
possible should be done for him in retirement
the same as when he was in active service. The
only doubt that arises ia the legal authority for
making his pension other than the amount
specified in the law under which he is retired.
The law passed last year creating the PEN
sion fund commission says that any member of
the police department who shall have honor
ably served for a period OF twenty years and at
tanned the age Of s~ixty-fve years shall be retired
on half pay" The chiefs salary at the present
time is $ 400 a year. According to this law.
therefore, the limit would appear to be $1,000
for a pension. There is nothing in this law
giving the aldermen authority to fix a different
amount by ordinance. neither is there any max
imum or minimum amount fixed as far as the
retired officer himself is concerned.
II any law can be found, however, whereby
the chiefs pension can be fixed at $500 we be.
iieve that the great majority of the people who
look upon the chief as a lifelong friend and
who fully appreciate his services in behalf of
the city would heartily approve such action.
