FOR DEVELOPING THE CITY PLAN

1t soon will be time for the Board of Aldermen To rive ser;ous
consideration to the budget for next year. The usual fight will
De made by the various departments for increased appropriations.
CITY expenses are constantly mounting and only the hardest kind
OF work can keep the tax rate down.
In making up the budget next year, then first consideration
ougnt o De given to those things that are essential for the city's
progress. In this regard we can imagine nothing that means more
to the future of Perth Amboy than a city plan. Everything has
TO be done according to plan these days if money is to be saved
I i the only systematic way of doing anything and the systema-
TIC way Is the most economical way in the long run,
A lew thousand dollars spent on a city plan now will mean
the saving OF millions OF dollars later on. Perth Amboy is growing
AS 1t builds up it should be constructed properly. This cannot be
accomplished in any hodge manner. There must be a plan
carefully worked out by men who make a speciality of that kind of
work. City planning is a profession requiring the greatest techni-
cal skill and can be accomplished only after much study and con-
slderation of the citys possibilities from every angle.
The traffic problem, the sewer system, the housing and ION.
ing plans all dovetail to make one complete municipality and it is
only by having a comprehensive city plan that the right construc-
ton can be put on these things. By seeing how the one is related
to the other, how the widening of a street in the extreme western
section OF the city for instance, will have a direct benefit on the
extreme southern section, the authorities are able To plan and
build intelligently.
Perth Amboy now has a competent City Plan Commission. It
has not been very much in the public eye during the past year be.
far as its meagre appropriation would permit. That something
worth while will be forthcoming when the City Plan Commission
is ready to report is certain.
The point we desire to emphasize now is that in considering
the budget for next year the City Plan Commission ought to be
given more money so as to extend its work. That which has been
accomplished thus far is more in the nature of a preliminary
sketch showing the possibilities of a city plan if the money is ap-
While other appropriations are for the purpose of
taking care of the city today, the appropriation for the city pla i
is for the Perth Amboy Of the future and those who are interested
in the development and growth of the city will be anxious to aid
this cause in every way possible. Let the appropriation for the
city plan be a generous one next year so as to assure the proper
development of the city while we are taking care of its immediate
needs.

SHORT MEN

Jack johnson, the ~prizefghter, testifes in a legal hear
ing in New York that he is "always afraid Of a smaller man"
johnson says a big man never worries him, but that small
men are more dangerous than big men because they are more
cunning.
''They can run around your legs quicker, . laments Jack.
Boxing fans can elaborate this into a discussion of the
relative Importance of weight and punch, compared with
''leg work" and speed in general.
ALL Of us can apply the idea to everyday ife-the man of
quick decision and swift action beating the man OF big stand
ing, much influence and great power.
Most of us, if we had to face Jack johnson IN a fight,
would rather be eight feet tall and tip the scales at 25O pounds,
instead Of the small man who annoys him.
Nevertheless, Jacks views should increase the self-confi
dence of the gentlemen who have to stand on tip-toes in d
crowd to see the girldemonstrator in the drug store win
dow.
The secondary Importance of size or strength has been
recognized by the philosophers since before Socrates.
Napoleon, "the LITTLE Corporal" was short.
And you know how an elephant is terrified by a mouse.
Size and strength are secondary to speed and brain power.
And, of all human forces, brain power is the mighhest.
Charles Darwin, one of the most powerful men that ever
lived, was a physical weaklng, spending all but a few hours
a day in bed during his most creative period.
A child of Is could have knocked Darwin through the
ropes. He couldn't carry a pail of water a block without
collaping. Yet Darwin exerted a greater power than all
the prizefghterst that ever lived.
Foolish young men, vainly boastng, sFeel my muscle"
will realize later in life that what really counts is brains, not
Drawn.
The truly wise man will develop both brain and Drawn.
Together they make an unbeatable team.

MAKING ROOM FOR TRAFFIC

Chief Tonnesen has acted wisely in changing the parking
rules for automobiles in the vicinity Of State and Smith streets,
especially in the block where the fire house is located. The con-
geshon at that point has been extremely great recently, there be-
ing an almost continuous line of cars sticking half way out into
the street from the corner southwark, and there is usually several
ears parked parallel to the curb on the opposite side so that when
the traffic signal is set against State street the waiting cars prac-
tically block what little room there is left for traffic. Naturally,
when an alarm of fire is sounded the apparatus is seriously handi,
capped in getting through.
1t is only a question of time when similar action will have to
be taken on other streets where the parking at an angle of forty
five degrees is now compulsory. The average streets of any city
are hardly wide enough to accommodate the ordinary traffic Of
today. That is the reason that parking on the busiest thorough
fares has been limited to fifteen minutes in many instances. Streets
have got to be made wider and convenient parking places have
got to be provided before the problem is solved.
In the meantime, much can be accomplished by developing
new streets so located as to relieve those streets that are already
over-crowded. Perth Amboy ought to consider the opening of
Fayette street through to Convery place, widening it the whole
distance, if possible, and the widening of Convery place and
Cleveland avenue before property values become too great. 1t is
foolish to wait until the necessity is actually upon us before doing
anything to solve this problem. We ought to profit by the exper-
fence of other cities.

In 1920. year In which Elizabeth
Bowman was born. the cos of run

Multiply that by 200 and you
have, in rough Figures, the cost Of

he is right, for he lays a block a

Add Dams name to your list of

lunatics rogues and loafers.
This should get a groan from

North Dakota Game and Fish

bagged in his section.
Many a hunter would rather bag
that goose than find a purse Of gold.
Primitive instincts are putting up a
hard fight for survival, in some peo-
pie, and curiously often are COM
panions of advanced brains. If you
have tried hunting and fishing and
don't care for them, the primitive
in you is dying out and "the sys-
tenn" is getting you in its mechan-
ical claws.

Ing social events Is more immoral
than the hula-hula, says Vaughan

This is true in occasional cases, but
not as a general rule.
The human brain apparently is in
capable of discussing morals with

c%ussions of everything else, par
ticularly in America, a nation of ex-

Germany prints %tlfty-nine billion
paper marks in one week, which

Half a thousand business firms

their own money; the government
presses not being able to print marks
as fast as they're needed.
The two doughboys who travelled

General Butcher, famous police

This dog. under heavy fire hun

war.
Now he is dead. The cause is
blood-poisoning, due to a splinter
from a stick which he retrieved in

He was a victim Of uncertainty,

VALUE OF LAND FOR BRIDGE APPROACHES

ing away the taxpayers money IN buying up the land needed for
the approaches to the new state highway bridge across the Rari-
tan river the tax assessors ought not to have a difficult time in
arriving at somewhere near a fair valuation for the property in
that vicinity. If the land, which consists mainly of salt marshes,
is worth anywhere near what the owners have demanded from the
state it is a safe bet that they have been getting away with murder
in the matter of taxes all these years.
As a matter Of fact, the general opinion is that the State High
way Commission is paying entirely too much for the land in ques.
ton. Some of the figures have been outrageous. If the owners are
not willing to be reasonable and attempt to take advantage of
their opportunity to unload at fabulous figures simply because
it is the state that needs the property, condemnation proceedings
should be resorted to.
Either the land is worth as much as the state is paying for it
or it is not. In the latter case, the State Highway Commission is
deliberately wasting the funds entrusted to its care. On the other
hand, if the value is there then the taxes ought to be fixed ac-
eordinglE
