PUBLIC OPINION
Opposes Gas Works Purchase


EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
As a resident and taxpayer of the
city. l am opposed TO the purchase
Of the Perth Amboy Gas Company
property upon the terms offered.
l am informed from authoritative
sources that in a very short time the
gas company will have to abandon
the property anyway. The machin-
cry and everything else pertaining
to the plant has deteriorated and is
d-eteriorating so fast that it will
soon be practically useless. In
spite of that. they want an exorbi-
tant price for the same. owing to
the fact that they desire to sell it to
the city.
The test really should he. what
would a private individual pay for
it and lot what the city pay for it.
What il the assessed valuation in
comparison with the price asked for
by the company?
1t is apparent that the gas COM
pany is more anxious to sell the
property than the city is to buy. The
longer this matter is delayed the
more anxious the gas company will
be, and as time goes on thew will
be more reasonable with their de-
mands.
There is nothing to be gained by
hurrying the matter at this time.
unless they are willing to sell it
ut the assessed valuation.

their cases. 1t was said by Legion
officials that the federal government
has pronounced the plan the most
constructive yet suggested to meet
the problems of disqualification of

lead New Jersey has set in this
matter.
The convalescent homes will be
open to all veterans of the World

The following officers and mem
bers of the board of governors
have been chosen to administer the
affairs of the home in the fourth

England 10 Act

LONDON, Nov. IS tBy The Assoc
'ciated Press There Is the strong
est possibility that Great Britain
will break diplomatic relations with
Greece if the death sentences inn
posed upon former Greek cabinet
officers are carried cut, it was stated
in official circles today.
The precedent OF such action by
the British, it was suggested, would
probably be the break in diplomatic
relations with Serbia in 1903. as a
result of the murder of the Serbian
majesties by revolutionaries. 1t was
| pointed out, however, that the SEN
fences given the former Greek min
listers have not yet been carried out
and that there still was hope that
the Greeks would not take such ex-
trcme action.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-11-28

Early in the trial the British gov
eminent made representations
against possible impositions of the
death sentence. London dispatches
said the British action had been gen.
orally resented in Athens and that
the recent fall of the sZaimis min
istry could be traced directly to the
British stand.

4 Reasons Why
You Should Use
Blue Ribbon Butter

/. 1t takes the cream
from 9 quarts of rich
milk to make one
pound Of Blue Ribbon
Butter.
2. Blue Ribbon Butter is
sealed in an alright
carton. No hands or
greasy paddles can
touch it.
8. No dust or germs can
get at it. Purest in
every way
4. You don't pay for a
butter dish weighed
in as butter. Every
package of Blue Rib
bon Butter is a full
net pound.
