MIDDLEsEx BEHIND PAVING COMPETITION

MlddleseX county has the honor of ~fathering the COM
panlon bill to Senator Parry's bill providing for competitive
blading on all paving contracts. Senator Parry is making
9 light to free New Jersey from the grip of the patent pave
inent interest. He had a bill before the legislature last year.
but II was defeated largely through the efforts of the lobby
maintained by the patent pavement people. The Essex SEN
ator is making another attempt this year.
In order to expedite matters a bill like the one Senator
Parry has introduced in the senate has been introduced in
the assembly by Assemblyman Apologize, of Middlesex. who
is working with Senator Parry in getting the measure
through. 1T is fitting that Middlesex county should get be-
hind this bill. The people here fully understand the mr.
pose oil the measure and the sentiment is overwhelmingly
IN favor of open specifications and competitive bidding in all
paving matters. There is no desire to deliberately bar the
patent paving materials from being used on the HIGHWAYS
Of New Jersey, but there is a desire to permit other surface
ing materials to compete with the patent pavements. This is
The object of Senator Parry's bill and it is gratifying to have
9 Mlddlesex man %fathering the same bill in the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-That
China's foreign financial obligations
should be placed in the same cate
CORY as other international 1ndebt-
edness, in case there is hereafter
a readjustment of the same or an
international moratorium. Is a claim
which is now being strongly put for
ward by China's friends.
1t is forecast that this claim for
the same financial status as the
other powers will be pressed by the
Chinese delegation and that they
may have American support. This
maneuver has the advantage that
it would most effectively test the
| good faith of the European powers
! in regard to China. and would place
the United States government in a
very strong technical position.
| 1t is pointed out that much has
been said by the representatives OF
| the principal European powers,
about the advisability of declaring
a European moratorium-that Is.
| each of the allied nations cancelling
all of it's debts to the Others.
In effect this would mean that the
United States would pay for the
war. Roughly the nations partici-
| pating il the conference owe the
United States government $12,OOO,-
| 900, 900. The interest on this debt
is nearly $4,000. 900 a day, none of
which is being paid. For the Unit
ed States to cancel this huge debt
| has been described (by q European
diplomat) as a magnificent gesture.
the advantages of this magnih-
cen. gesture to the European ma
tons are self evident. 1t is claim
| oI that Aha aapra1Jafinn Of tho daht
would also be of advantage to the
United States, because the European
nations, relieved of this burden of
debt, would be able tc buy our goods,
| trade would revive and currencies
wonld be stabilized.
What Do We Gain?
Some observers say that this al
legged advantage 20 us is not so OBJ
vious. 1t would be just like a store
| keeper giving his customers the
money with which to buy his goods
which is Ia effect the same as CIV
ing them the goods in the first place.
Besides. after the storekeeper has
given the customers the money, there
is nothing to prevent the customer
from going across the street and
spending 1t at another store.
Yet again, it is evident that dis
armament is not going very far,
France viii keep her big army, Eng
land will keep most of her capital
ships, and 10 will Japan. This means
that the people of the United States,
if the DEBT is cancelled, will in eff
feet be paying in taxes u of their
pockets for the armament of the
other nations as well as that of their
own,
All of these considerations tend
to make the cancellation proposal
somewhat unpopular in this country,

Residents of almost every part or
New jersey are watching closely
the embodiment of the plans OF
Manhattan Extension Inc, a group
OF New York business men, who are
actively advancing their project to
add six square ..:s!es to New York
City by retaining land from the
harbor south to the Battery. While,
the project is designed basically to
beneft New York City, its advocates
state that New Jersey, especially
that portion lying within twenty-five
miles of the bay. will profit enor-
cnously. and officials Of the extension
company this week will lay their
proposal before the New Jersey au-
thorities. The plans already have
been submitted to the Port Author
ity and to Governor Miller. and
have been endorsed by the Broad
way Association and scores of
prominent business men and engi-
neers.
or particular interest to New
Jersey is the claim that if this ex-
tension were built, it would greatly
increase property values in this
! state, particularly in respect to
property located within committing
| distance to New York, and hat the
problems OF both freight n pas
senger transportation between the
two states would be readily solved.
1t is asserted that the plan would
| make the aims of the Port Author
ity easier of accomplishment.
Originated by r. Kennard Thom-
son, consulting engineer, who han
died the foundation work on the
Singer. Municipal, U. S. Express and
other large New York buildings, the
plan for the extension calls for the
work being done in sections, build
ing huge concrete seawalls, and
then pumping out the water. From
the engineering standpoint the work
is said to be easy of. accomplish
ment despite it's magnitude.
Explaining the proposed method
of construction, Mr.. Thomson said
today: "In undertaking the extern
sion we will build concrete walls by
the pneumatic caisson process which
will be twenty-five to thirty feet
thick, forty to ninety feet deep (ver-
tically), and some twelve miles
long. with occasional cross walls.
where the surface of the rock is
not over eighty feet below the sur
face Of the water, instead of back
filling the space between the.a walls
with sand, we will simply pump the
water and sand out, obtaining there
by several square miles of rock
foundations all ready for buildings,
streets and subways.
"As a matter of fact, there are
no serious engineering obstacles to
be overcome, it being simply a

question of using common sense ana
the best engineering practice.
Further out, where the rock Will
be too deep for this, and, therefore,
will require back-hlling with sand,
the operation will be somewhat SIM
liar to the previous enlargement OF
Governors Island. But here 1t Will
be on an enormously larger
having massive concrete walls In
stead of light retaining walls, max
ing it feasible and desirable to use
more modern machinery. This will
naturally permit the work being
done in a fraction OF the time and
at a fraction of the expense per
cubic yard required for the original
filing or addition to Governors Is
land.
the value of the reclaimed land
would be about two billion dollars,
it has also been estimated that the
buildings erected on this site would
be worth at least another three bill
lion dollars. So in return for the
rights to do this work we could give
the city all the streets and subways
completed, and the port authorities
all the docks free of charge, prac-
tically cutting out all the freight
terminal charges which now amount
~ I1oIS tildiI ~ duiAIS io
all the way from Pittsburgh. n in
addition pay taxes on Ave billion
dollars worth of property without
calling on the city for financial as
sistance."
Ernest d. Anderson, treasurer of
; the company, stated in an interview
today:
New Jersey would derive won
derful benefits from the extension.
| Only last week Mr.. Raymond Con-
molly, president of the Real Estate
League of New Jersey, said: New
Jersey is ideally situated from the
standpoint of the real estate invest

| the great metropolis, New York
City, as we'll as to Philadelphia,

Nov. when to this natural loca-
| ton you add the facilities which the
Manhattan Extension would bring,
it is easy to see that real estate
values in New Jersey would soar at
| nee.
1.-The Manhattan Extension plan
will be carried out by a peoples
corporation and not by the munich
patty. 1t will be financed by baby
bonds and the people themselves
will own the equity in the new Sec
ton. This corporation will erect an
entire new city, including all streets

The Republic of Panama. Is the
subject of the following bulletin is
sued by the National Geographic So
ciety:
1.-The Isthmus of Panama, which
now almost exactly corresponds to
the Republic of Panama, has prob
ably had as many thrills to the
square foot as any other section of
the earth of similar size. They
have ranged from the ignoble to the
noble, from the drunken debauche-
ries of bloodthirsty pirates as they
sacked the prosperous cities Of the
country, to the feelings of Balboa as
he stood. the first white man to view
the waters of the Pacific, and those
of the American engineers who saw
the completion there of the worlds
greatest engineering feat. And
through it all large tracts of the little
country nave remained much as they
were when Columbus first set foot
there in 1902, and happy to find a
| part of a real continent after SEEM

Panama perpetrates of the
greatest of geographic jokes on
those who visit it. 1t very c%onvinc-
lngly makes east west. From Pana-
ma City the sun rises out of the Pa
cific, which to most American minds
is the proper place only for setting
suns. And he who sails through the
canal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific travels not from east 10 west as
he naturally expects to do, but from
west to east. or more accurately,
from northwest to southeast. One
gets the impression, as one writer
has phrased it, that there is some
thing crooked about this The
crookedness is found to be in the
isthmus which run predominantly
east and west instead of north and
south, and in addition makes a dou-
BILE curve like the letter 8, so that
at m place the Atlantic Waters are
actually west of those of the Pacific.
at may seem a far cry from the
lay of the land at Panama to the
South sea, but because of the east
and west trend of the isthmus the
popular name for that huge, island
dotted ocean has largely taken the
place of the more nearly correct,

China also is n of the allies
