WHAT ABOUT FUTURE CROSSINGS?

From the city's point Of view, there isn't any question
about the plans for the elimination of the grade crossings Us
snbmitted by Forrest L. Smith being decidedly the best mat
have yet been offered. The aldermen do well to adopt these
Mans. With these plans as a basis it is probable that some
compromise can be effected between what the city wants
and what the railroad is willing to do so that a real Solu'loh
can be worked out that will be acceptable to all concerned.
But, at best, the plans of Forrest L. Smith take care only
~ the present needs. Provision is made only for such cross
ings as now exist. There is no looking into the future SO as
to take care of the city's natural growth.
Here is where q comprehensive city plan would come
in. ..:r
rbose citizens from the northern end of The city who
anneared at the city hall Monday night and put in a plea 1or
the opening of more streets across the tracks north OF nan
avenue were fully justified in their contention. the city
has already outgrown the five crossings that now exist, the
need for additional crossings will soon become imperative.
likewise. there must be relief for Smith and Market
streets in the downtown section of the city. fayette street
should be connected across the tracks by all means ana
jefferson street as well. There ought also to be a crossing
somewhere between Washington street and Hall avenue.
Possibly some way can be found for joining William street
east of the tracks with Lawrie street on the west side.
It is all we'll enough to provide for the elimination Of
the present grade crossings, but if the city is to grow-and
that is what we are all cipating-someth more than
merely taking care of the present inadequate situation must
be considered.
A comprehensive city plan would go into all this detail,
LAYING out the city for many years to come. Such a plan
would not confne itself merely to the elimination OF the
grade crossings; it would provide for the systematic de-
velopment of the city as a whole, connecting up streets and
LAYING out main arteries of traffic so as to provide for the
needs of the city as it grows.
AS matters stand today, even if the Public Utility Com
mission should take the Forrest L. Smith plans for grade
crossing elimination as the basis for the work, much of the
present agitation will have to be done all over again before
scry long as the need for more street crossings becomes
4 solulely essential.
With a comprehensive city plan the whole problem
p,ild be worked out on a complete and scientific basis,
king care of every section of the city in exact proportions
IT'S Importance to the whole scheme.

HEADING THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM

At the reorganization meeting of the State Highway
Commission at Trenton Tuesday George l.. Burton, of South
River, was re- elected chairman. This is a well deserved
honor. Mr.. Burton has made an efficient leader and the
renewed confidence that his colleagues have placed in him
is an endorsement that will appeal favorably to the people
of the state.
Handling the state highway system is a big job. 1t
becomes more complicated every year. 1t requires men Of
ability for such jobs as this and it is gratifying to Middlesex
county that the man deemed capable of directing the affairs
of this important branch of the state government should be
found here.
It is particularly appropriate that Middlesex county
should have such a leading place in the consideration OF the
highway matters of the state for the next year because what
il perhaps the biggest project the highway commission has
yet attempted is to be put across here during the next two
or three years. This is the bridge across the Raritan river.
Mr.. Burton is thoroughly familiar with the situation
here and is in a position to give the state service OF the
highest order. And in thus serving the state he is, at the
same time, giving Middlesex county a job to be proud of.

BREAKING UP THE COAL PIRACY

If the state police can rid Raritan bay of the coal pirates
that have infested these waters for so many years they will
90 a long way toward j~ustifying their existence. Several
attempts have been made locally to break up this gang OF
thieves, but while there has been more or less success for
the time being, the practice has been resumed after the ex-
element has passed.
With the state police on the job, however, there is rea-
son to believe that a permanent cure can be effected. Be-
ing constantly on the alert is the only way to catch these
fellows and once they have been found guilty a punishment
fitting the crime will help accomplish the desired result.
The local harbor has become notorious up and down
the coast for the thieving that has been going on. rms
q reflection on the entire state. 1t is, therefore, one OF
tbo worthy objects of the state police to go after this sort
of crime and put an end to it. With this new element IN
The enforcement of the law to contend with there is reason
TO believe that the pirates will not be so bold as heretofore,
If the campaign against them is waged hard enough The
gang may be effectively broken up.

OPEN FIREPLACE A NUISANCE
cred the Huge Affairs Of Those
Days as Unnecessary.

Nowadays one Of the most convlnc-
Ing proofs that you can give. to the
fact that your city apartment Is Of
the highest class and unlike the ordi-
nary Is to say that 1t has ''open fire-
place." Even q single "open fire.
place" in an apartment IL enough to
raise 1t from the shoddy majority.
And, Of course. when we dream Of
owning house In the country most
Of US. nine out Of ten of us, think Of
an open fireplace as a sine qua non of
such an abode.
But our grandmothers had no such
opinions Of open flreplaces.
Open fireplaces were a real humill-
alton to the woman who had them in
her house 80 years or more ago. Al
least that feeling prevailed In this
country. A small CRATE FIRE. that held
a few shovels of coal, was another
matter, but the sort Of fireplace where
logs burned across flredogs was-well,
1t was one Of the crudities that most
persons did not like to possess. Yes,
there was time when a Franklin
burner or a drum stove was eonsid-
cred more of an ornament to the we'll
furnished drawing room than the
sort of wide-hearthed fireplace that
we covet nowadays.

of the troop, he contracted typhoid
fever. He was in the hospital for
seventeen weeks, and has never

Der of a pioneer Nevada family. He
was born on an Elko county ranch
and had a public school and business
college education.
Early in life Mr.. Russell took up
printing, and shortly after he be-
came of age began newspaper work.
For a number of years he published
the Elko Independent, and for a
time he was interested in news
papers in Winnemucca and Love-
lock. In the year 1910 he was
