SOUTH AMsoY's OPPORTUNITY

1t would be a fine thing for South Amboy to have a
man like D. C. Chase for mayor for the next few years. Men
of his calibre are all too few in public life today-and there
never was a time when such men were needed more than
they are now. South Amboy, in particular, needs such men to
give the place a sound business administration in order that
it may s%traighten out. its finances.
With a tax rate of 5000 on every 800 valuation, being
one of the highest rates in the state and the highest in the
county, it is time the people Of South Amboy forgot politics
for a little while and gave first consideration to the welfare
of the city. The first step in this direction is to get high
class men in office.
D. G. Chase is a man of great ability. He has already
served as mayor OF South Amboy and he has been state SEN
ator. He is now prominently mentioned for congress. In
private life he has long held a responsible position of influ-
ence and power. The fact that Mr.. Chase, after all the SER
vice that he has rendered, will consent once more to enter
public life and make the run for mayor ought to be very
gratifying to the taxpayers of South Amboy.
Mr.. Chase has been a resident of South Amboy for a
great many years. He has the welfare OF the city at heart.
He has no axe to grind and no favorites to play. For him
to again serve as chief executive of the city cannot help but
be a sacrifice on his part. To be elected to such a position
now will add nothing to the honors that are already his. He
has nothing to gain personally by assuming such a RESPONSE
bility at such a critical time. His motives in consenting to
stand for the nomination are solely altruistic.
South Amboy, with a tax rate of 5000 and with so
many improvements yet to be made, needs the very best in
brains and executive ability that the city can produce. 1t
are fortunate to have D. C. Chase come forward at this time
and offer his services for the public good. There ought to
be no question about his nomination and election.

A THE FILLING NOW

Much valuable time is being lost in building the south
shore approach to the new state highway bridge. For d
considerable distance this approach will have to be built
over marsh land and it is proposed to fill in with a solid
foundation. 1t is the experience, however, that filling of
this kind takes a long time to settle. The dirt and gravel
dumped on the meadows gradually sink out of sight and
more and more has to be piled on top. Sometimes this pro-
cess goes on for several years before the bottom is reached.
Why could not the State Highway Commission make a
separate contract for the south approach, at least, and have
it awarded forthwith so that the filling can be started? Then,
by the time the bridge is finished three years hence this ap-
proach will be about ready for permanent paving. 1t is
hardly likely that it will be ready before that time. 1t stands
to reason that it is not necessary to have the plans for the en-
tire bridge finished before starting the road construction on
the south shore. Once the location of the bridge is estab-
lished-and that has been definitely determined-the con-
struction of the road on the south shore can proceed indie
pendent Of the bridge itself. Considering the uncertainty of
the filling that will have to be done no further time should
be lost in getting this work under way.

NEED OF A PARK EMPHASIZED

The series of band concerts being held here this sum-
mer show the need of a park or recreation ground in the
northern section of the city. The people living in the vicinity
of Hall avenue are entitled to some consideration and the
time is coming when steps must be taken to provide for
their wants in this direction.
Several years ago property was bought in that section
to be used for park purposes. This property extends from
the rear of%t. Mary's cemetery, touching Amboy avenue
on one side, all the way to the railroad. Since its purchase
this tract has been used as a city dump. Because of this fact
the proposed park has been the butt of ridicule. But more
than one beauty spot has been developed from a city dump.
Bayonne has a wonderful playground along the Central rail-
road that only a few years ago was one of the most unsightly
spots between this city and New York.
Within the next few years the tract which the CITY owns
in the northern section will be transformed into a pleasure
ground that will bring joy to the thousands of residents in
that vicinity. The band concerts are emphasizing the need
of such a place and, with a little fixing up the property is all
ready for the development. Then, indeed, will the scoffers
ct today be the loudest in their praise tomorrow.

1t speaks well for the daring of
Americans that so many OF them risk
themselves daily travelling as passen-
gers in aircraft and with pilots whom
they must take on faith.
One of the principal purposes be-
hind the proposed legislation is to
give an impetus to civilian aviation in
the United States. This country ad-
mittedly has Jagged far behind the
nations of Europe, particularly
France. Great Britain, Germany and
Italy. in developing commercial fly
ing, notwithstanding the fact that
the United States is. the birthplace of
the airplane. In these European
countries substantial subsidies in
money have been voted to encourage
civilian aviation. The British air
ministry. facing the aviation problem,
has offered 100000. spread over three
years, for the purpose of assisting
aerial transportation. In 1921 France,
through its parliament, voted 3d.
215, ,0eO francs for commercial avia-
tion.

ahead in remarkable manner in the
development. of commercial aviation.
