THE OLD BRIDGE SCHOOL MIDDLE

1t looks as if the taxpayers in Madison and East Bruins
wick township were trying to keep down taxes at the ex-
pense of the school children. 1t is the duty of every NUM-
cipality, whether it be the largest city or the most sparseIy
settled township, to provide adequate school facilities. II
costs money these days to do this, as the people here in
Perth Amboy well know, but it is a duty that cannot be
ignored.
The trouble at Old Bridge seems to be caused by one
OF those old boundary disputes. The dividing line between
East Brunswick and Madison townships passes through the
village Of Old Bridge so that while the children live in the
same town, they are in different townships. Naturally, East
Brunswick township officials are not inclined to provide for
people living in Madison township, yet as the greater part of
Old Bridge is in East Brunswick township it is natural that
the Old Bridge school should be located in that municipality.
This is hard on the children who live in Old Bridge, but who
happen to be over the line in Madison township.
As long a. there was room in the Old Bridge school for all
the children it was a simple matter for the Madison town
ship officials to reimburse the East Brunswick township
officials for the room that the children from Madison town
ship used, but it is TO be expected that the children living
on the East Brunswick side of the line be given the prefer
ence and as the number of children has increased the Madi-
son township children have been gradually crowded out.
This fall, it seems, there are some s~Xty-five or seventy chill
dren at Old Bridge, but whose homes are in Madison town
ship, that are without education facilities.
1t looks as if petty jealousies, faoional quarrels and
dirty politics were back of the trouble as far as Madison
township is concerned. This is all wrong, especially where
the education of the children is concerned. To have sixty
five or seventy children without school facilities in a sup
posedly enlightened community in Middlesex county is a
serious reflection on every citizen. If the local authorities
do not clear up the situation without further delay it will
be the duty of the State Board of Education to interfere.

NO TIME TO WASTE

Graham & McKeon, the successful bidders for the Am
boy avenue paving, have an opportunity to establish a repu-
tation for themselves. 1t is highly desirable that as much
Of the work as possible be accomplished before the freezing
weather sets in. There is every reason to believe that the
State Highway Commission will give its approval as far as
the contract is concerned and once this is received there
should be nothing to prevent the dirt flying.
1t is especially desirable that the cutting and filling be
finished this fall so that the roadbed can be settling through
the winter and be ready for the permanent pavement early
next summer. This applies to the new route over the land
secured from the Barber Asphalt Company. This work can
be done without interference with the traffic, the present
route being used until the new route is ready.
From Myrtle street northward to where the new route
begins, however, there is going to be more or less trouble. 1t
is to be hoped that State street will be ready for traffic by
the time this is torn up so as to relieve the congestion that is
bound to result. With State street open there would still be
an excellent road between Perth Amboy and Woodbridge.
which is something greatly to be desired.
Paving jobs generally have been dragging terribly this
year. Amboy avenue should be the exception.

"A shortage of sales managers is reported by a "white col

business executives, efficiency experts and college professors
just as similar organizations supply teamsters, cooks and day

ssThere is a constant and increasing demand for sales

TRAFFIC PROBLEM GROWING

Automobile congestion in the cities is becoming such
4 problem that some cities are appointing special commits
sions to look into the matter in an effort to reach a solution.
In Newark from January 4 to October 4 the increase in au-
tomobile ownership in that city alone has been more than
5000. When the final figures are tabulated for 1922 it is
believed the total will be more than 10000 owners in
Newark.
In Elizabeth a special study of the traffic and parking
problem is to be made jointly by the Board of Works and
the Police Commission.
Perth Amboy has got to take this matter up in a serious
way before very long. The present plan is not altogether
satisfactory. With automobiles sticking out into the street
on one side and standing parallel with the curb on the other
there is room only for the passage of one car down the
middle. This is annoying and dangerous, especially at a
busy corner like State and Smith streets, which, incidental
", is a bad location for a taxi station.
One of the solutions here as far as the traffic is con-
cerned, is to develop Fayette street across the railroad and
out to Convery place. Smith street then would be free of
much of the heavy trucking that has no business in a retail
district. This, with the widening of Front street so as to
care for the ferry traffic, would help a great deal in Perth
Amboy.

MORE w TO PRESIDENT
UNDER TARIFF LAW
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-With
the enactment OF the new tariff law
the power of the President OF the
United States has been increased n

less was never dreamed of by the
trainers of the Constitution. the
American Executive has long been
the most powerful in the world, but
| from now on, unless the new law
is amended or repealed. he may

powers of the President may be ap-

decision of one IA
That is something that wou d
have been bitterly opposed a few
years ago and it Is a matter of sur
prise to many veteran observers OF
national affairs hat congress should
have gone so far in the delegation
oe it's powers. But Mr.. Harding
suggested it and 1t went through.
Now congress can blame only Itself
il it discovers one of these days
that it has little to do except pass
appropriation bills.
Ii is true hat tariff making is
rot placed entirely in the hands of
the President under the new law.
Some limitations are thrown around
and what he may do and he has
to advise the Tariff Commission.
However, it is certain hat the Pres
iuent now has powers such as none
oe his predecessors ever exercised

allied until they have been tried

slcns, the new law gives the Presl-
dent authority % to raise or lower

Happening of the Middle Ages Which Should Give Food fo-
 Thought Today.

Because they chatter a great deal, the people of ancient days said that magpies were women changed into birdsl That was not very gallant thing to say, but magpies do not live in Canada, and there could have been no reflection on our ladies. They are pretty white and black birds, shaped like crow, and about half as big.
 They are fond of pretty things, and sometimes pick up articles they fancy to beautify their homes. In Florence, Italy, there is a lofty monument on top of which stands, or did stand, a statue of Justice with a pair of scales in her hand. Once the Duke Cosmo l lost a pearl necklace which an unfor- tunate little girl was accused of steal ing. They put her to torture and racked her poor little limbs almost to pieces, until, unable to bear the pain, she said she would plead guilty to anything. Then she was hanged. That day a terrible storm visited Florence. The lightning struck the scales in the
