FALL OPENING AND VISITORS DAY

With assurances that the Rotary and Lions Clubs will
bring to this city on September 81 the United States Marine
Band which will give two concerts, every effort should be
made to take full advantage of the occasion. The idea is
to have both concerts absolutely free to the public. 1t is
Planned to have a bandstand erected in City Hall park,
where the Marine band, one of the most famous musical
organizations In the world, will play during the afternoon
and evening.
This is bound to be a big attraction. Thousands of
people from all over this section of the state will be glad of
such a chance to hear this band. In most places where it
plays during its annual tour a big admission fee is charged.
In Perth Amboy the concerts are to be free.
This affords a rare occasion for doing some real talk
ing for Perth Amboy. If the city gets behind the affair in
the proper spirit something worth while can be accom-
pished. Let it be known as Perth Amboy Visitors Day.
Have the city looking spick and span and gaily decorated
with flags and bunting. The merchants should make it the
occasion for their fall opening; have their windows dressed
particularly attractive and ready for business. Hotels and
restaurants should prepare for a large crowd. With such
a famous band as the presidents own to furnish the music
there is every reason why the city as a whole should wake
up to the occasion and make it all worth while. There may be
many fall openings and numerous visitors days, but there
are few that can have the United States Marine Band as the
big attraction.
The Rotary and Lions Clubs have shown commendabie
enterprise in bringing the United States Marine Band to
Perth Amboy thus affording the opportunity to open the fall
season here with a bang. AS there is considerable expense
involved it is up to the city, and especially to those who will
peneflt most by the throngs that will be attracted here, to
give the Rotary and Lions Clubs the necessary support to
finance the undertaking. A small amount from each one
would cover the cost and the advertising that the city would
receive not to mention the business done here on that day,
would make such a contribution a paying investment.
But there is no selfish motive in this undertaking, how.
ever. It's something for Perth Amboy. The city is the first
consideration. incidentally, if the occasion can be turned
TO anybodys personal advantage in the way of doing an in
creased business, all well and good.
Let's make this idea of a grand fall opening and
visitors day on September 81 a really big thing. 1t ought
to stir up the old town and start things going for the fall
and winter.

CONSTITUTION DAY

September AZ is Constitution Day, the 135th anniver-
sary OF the adoption of that great document which estab-
llshed the principles under which this country is governed.
Schools and political and civic organizations probably will
take passing note of the day, but it should be observed more
generally and emphatically.
Some hundred years after the constitution was adopted,
the great English statesman, William Gladstone, said of it
that 1T was, so far as he could see, 1.-THE most wonderful
work struck off in a given time by the brain and purpose of
man."
These are times or disregard for law and order. There
could be no better corrective than for every citizen of the
United States to observe this anniversary by familiarizing
himself more fully with the constitution. Those who do so
will be freshly impressed by the amazing way in which it has
met the needs of a government established under it, but
grown to a power and developed along lines which the franz
ers of the document could not foresee.
The constitution is short, even with the amendments.
It is s~plendidly impartial, which is one reason why it is at
tackled SO frequently by those who long for group power. II
is conservative and yet liberal. Familiarity with it will help
the citizen and voter to understand better the fresh sugges-
tions for it's amendment and whether they will tend to i'm
pair or strengthen it as a force for the public good.

STREET REPAIRING WELL DONE

The streets of Perth Amboy are rapidly being put in
committee, is to be commended for the thoroughness in
which the repairs have been made. The entire city has been
covered in a way to restore its prestige for good pavements.
But hardly have the holes and worn spots been repaired
before new holes are being cut. A striking instance of this
is on Market street near City Hall Park. Hardly a day passes
without new openings being made in the pavements. These
holes are made largely by the water department to fix leaks
and there seems to be no way of helping the situation.
1t is apparent that the only way to keep Perth Amboy's
streets in good shape is for the city to own a repair outfit SO
that the patches can be made as soon as the leaks in the
water mains have been fixed. Only in this way can the
streets of Perth Amboy be kept always in good condition. To
be able to make the necessary repairs itself would not only
assure we'll paved streets all the time, but it would be more
economical. When a city has as many miles of pavements
as Perth Amboy, a complete repair outfit is = fully justified
1t is the only way the city's streets can be kept in a salts
factory condition all the time at a reasonable expense.
