CITY PLANTING BROUGHT HOME

tt is d master stroke for The Board of Aldermen TO in
clude the encouragement Of the sewers in the southern
section Of the city when the change is made in the sewer
system to conform with the elimination of the railroad
crossings. This is a work that has got to be done and 1t IS
well to do il all at once. 1t is going to cost considerable
money, but that is the penalty The taxpayers have to pay
now for not having had a city plan years ago TINT would
have provided for the future as we'll as present requirements
Tho sewers have got TO be changed as far as the grade
crossings are concerned. The cut is going to be SO deer
that there must be a trunk sewer on the western side OF the
tracks entirely Independent of the eastern side. At the same
time, The disgrace along the shore where the sewers now
empty on the beach cannot continue. There is every reason
to believe that the State Board Of Health would compel the
city to abate the nuisance and might even forbid the empty
ing of the sewers into The bay at all, if the matter were
brought to an issue.
BY taking steps TO eliminate the nuisance on the shore
along the river front the aldermen will be paving the way
for municipal bathing beaches that are so much to be de-
sired here. The proper development Of this beautiful stretch
of waterfront is held up on account of the sewers. With
these properly provided for everything else would be COM
paratively easy.
With Inc movement to have these sewers removed from
the beach started, Perth Amboy is in a fair way to accom-
plish something really worth while. This experience ought
to be a lesson, however, in the need of a city plan. The city
may be making mistakes today that will be as costly to
remedy in future years as the cleaning up of the sewers on
the river is now. With a comprehensive city plan ewers as
well as everything else would be laid out according TO a def
mite plan that had the development of the city in mind for the
next fifty years. 1t is the only way a city can grow syste-
malically.

PUTTING AMBoY AVENUE THROUGH

More PROCESS on the Amboy avenue improvement is
noted as a result of the meeting of the Board of Aldermen
Monday night. With the matter now entirely in the hands
of the city authorities the next step is to secure title to the
new right oNway across the lands of the Barber Asphalt
Company. This can be done by exchanging the present
roadway for the new route.
AS the Barber company owns the property on both
sides of the road, where it is proposed to abandon the present
highway no damage is done. On the contrary the company
benefits by having its property united into one tract without
being cut n two by a public highway, making it possible
for the future growth Of that concern that will be decidedly
beneficial 80 The county and to this community in particular.
At the same time, the public will nave an improved highway
between this city and Woodbridge which is greatly to be
desired.
Y The negotiations with the Barber Asphalt Company
ought to be completed as quickly as possible as the summer
is passing and the grading and filling that will have TO be
done ought to have as much time to settle as possible. The
aldermen are on the right track. The Amboy avenue prob
lem is in a fair way of being Strengthened out.

a TAFT VICTORY

Chief Justice Taft's visit to England was a triumph.

Tor something quite different does not detract from the sa-
tisfaction felt by Americans in his success, and should not
Getract from his own satisfaction.
From The time he landed on The other side, the genial
statesman and jurist was deluged with invitations. The three
weeks he sought to spend in studious exploration of English
jurisprudence he was forced to spend mainly in attending
dinners and luncheons and receiving university degrees.
And he stood the ordeal manfuny, both g~astronomically and
oratorically. Falstaff and Depew rolled into one could base
done no better.
Everywhere Mr.. Taft met with ovations. If there was
sny lurking hospitality or indifference, it all melted away in
the RADIANCE of his expansive smile and the sincerity of His
words. The chief Justice, it must be admitted, is a valiant
trenokegman, and expressive of the best traditions of the
American banquet table. The song that greeted him in Eng
md. as it has a thousand times at home, 'For he's a jolly
good fellow mighthave been written for him.
He did his country proud in eating his way through
Great Britain without ever losing his smile or his friendli-
ness or his appetite, and returning home with digestion un-
impaired. Visiting Europeans, however, distinguished for
their banqaelng ability, usually succumb to American hos
pitalty and go home to r%ecuperate. Mr.. Taft comes home
to keep right on shining for all, as well as dispensing jus
tjce for all. He is a large spot of good cheer in a blue and
neurasthenic world.

MINIMUM WAGE FOR u. S.
WOMEN DISCUSSED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, July 17-How
much farther will a dollar go now
than it would go in 1919? This
sounds like a school boys arithme-
tic problem, but It is causing all
ployers, earnest young store clerks,
and bewildered members of the pub
lie. So far, nobody's answer agrees
with any other.
The factions hal are struggling
with higher mathematics as applied
to rent, summer dresses, and carfare
r the members of the minimum
wage board and advisory conference
iE this city.
In Kansas a similar group recent
ly gave an opinion that a salesgirl
can live on S11 a week. This rate
has become the minimum wage
there. but it is being fought by the
women involved. Miss Alice Mac
Farland of the Industrial Relations
Court submits 1888 as the mini
mum wage for Kansas. compatible
with health. Employers insists that
living costs are materially cheaper
than a few years ago. and that $11
is ample. Obviously, somebody's
answer is wrong.

wage contests in different states from
a casual and impersonal point of
view. The issue seems so remote
whether girls in stores and factories
shall be allowed money to buy three
shirtwaists or Jour in a year; wheth-
en a S25 suit should last them two
years.
Yet the issue does the
public vitality. 1t is pretty well
proved that the girl who is healthy,
properly fed, and reasonably con-
tented is the worker who is cheerful
and efficient. A salesgirl's crouch is
more often due to a poor lunch or
financial worries than to ingrowing
meanness. Then, too, the worker
who does not make a living cannot
spend, and this affects business.
But aside from any personal inter-
est in the minimum wage, the pub
lie is being asked to take an altru-
istic interest in the matter. Women,
especially, and women's organiza-
tons are being urged to look into
the minimum wage question, and to
employee. and the public. The Wo-
mans Bureau of the Labor Depart
ment advocates this.
Woman's Bureau Interested
While it is working directly for
woman's welfare, the bureau says
that it aims to be fair and impartial
in its attitude toward the minimum
wage. It's workers have made nu-
merou surveys of living conditions
and have submitted evidence to wage
conferences. In some cases the bu-
reau's budget has beer called toe
generous by the employers involved
in the wage controversy. In Other
cases, some items have been listed
by the bureau at lower cost thar
the employers allowed in the budget
