MOTOR RECIPROCITY

ITNHE farmers in New Jersey who, angered
L because they are being asked to obtain
Pennsylvania motor licenses for the con-
tinuous operation of their trucks on this side
of the river. are talking of establishing their
central produce market in Camden, ought
TO address their complaint to their own
Highway Department and its chief. Mr..
Dill
There never was an attempt to deny the
hmitless courtesy of Pennsylvania roads to
New Jersey automobile owners until the
New Jersey authorities ignored an almost
universal principle of motor reciprocity and
put strict legal limit on the use of Penn
sylvania tags on their own highways.
Technically you are guilty of misdemeanor
If you operate motor vehicle for more than
two weeks with foreign tags in the State of
Jersey. Consistent efforts have been made
for years to enforce that rule.
Almost all other States cheerfully extend
to visiting motorists such privileges as the
motorists home State extends to drivers from
the outside. But New Jersey has always
been somewhat sensitive about its roads. 1t
established the two-week limit a long time
ago. Naturally, after n period of irritation
and futile argument. the Highway Depart
ment in this state began the operation of a
rule of retaliation.
The farmers who find that they may have
to take out Pennsylvania motor licenses for
the right to deliver their produce at the
Dock street markets are receiving only such
treatment as their own officials provided
years ago, even for those tourists and va
cationists who entered the State with money
by the pound and cheerful determination
to spend 1t without stint or limit

MUST HAVE OPEN SPECIFICATIONS

Rumors coming from Trenton indicate that the Repub-
lican majority in the legislature is inclined to forget about
its platform pledge made prior to election about open specl-
fcations for road paving contracts. The Republican party
went on record as being opposed to the present method OF
bidding on paving jobs which deliberately bars competition.
The whole state is at the mercy Of the patent pavement
trust. With millions of dollars yet to be spent on paving
this is a very vital matter to the taxpayers.
Senator Parry, of Essex county, put up a hard fight
last year in an effort to secure competition in paving con-
tracts, but was beaten through the efforts OF the lobby
maintained at the state house by the patent pavement IN
ierests. The state was thoroughly aroused, however, and
the demand of the taxpayers for open specifications IN all
paving contracts became so persistent that the Republican
party was forced to put a plank in its platform promising
the necessary legislation to remedy the existing evil.
Open specifications was made an issue during the cam
paien and here in MiddeseX county the candidates OF both
narties went on record as favoring open bidding. No doubt
The Republican party throughout the state gained much
support because of the attitude that party took on the sub
ject.
There must be no hedging on this proposition. Open
specifications on all paving contracts there must be. The
least that can be done is to change the existing law so That
there may be competition. The Republicans will be held
strictly to account for any failure to relieve the state from
the patent pavement trust.

NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 3.-The
day of the factory-made house is
distinctly here, at least around New
York. There is a tremendous de-
mand for it in all of the outlying
suburbs, in some of which you can
now find practically whole streets
that have been shipped f. o. b. from

Some of the houses are of the light,
portable type and some are OF the

UNCERTAINTY AND CITY PLAN

A correspondent whose letter was published in the
Evening News recently, in discussing the proposed pur-
chase of the gas works property, raised the question about
The final disposition of Perth Amboy's waterfront in that vi
cinity. If this section is to be developed commercially he
does not believe it worth while for the city to buy the site Of
the gas works.
This is a question that is concerning a great many peo-
pie. Nobody seems to know where he is at as far as the
development of Perth Amboy is concerned. What is con-
sidered the most desirable residential section in the city-at
least the section where the valuations on residential real
estate are highest-is constantly threatened with CONNER
cial and industrial invasion.
Living in the southern end Of the city, especially near
The waterfront, one never knows from one year to the next
l1ust what the character of the neighborhood will be. There
lis bound to be commercial development on the city's water
front. But what part of the waterfront and how much Of it
will be given over to industry and shipping, and what part,
If any, will be reserved for parks, bathing beaches, and the
like, is the question.
The uncertainty about this question has driven many
people away from the southern end of the city, and having
no other place to 20, they have moved out of town. Others
hesitate to invest in a home there, particularly at present
prices.
This uncertainty ought not to be. 1t is due to the people
that something definite be determined in the matter. A
comprehensive city plan is the only solution. Once such a
plan is adopted the people will know exactly what to ex-
pect in the way of waterfront development. This matter
has got to be brought to a head shortly.
AS the Evening News pointed out a few days ago, the
Perth Amboy Gas Light Company has got to enlarge its
plant. 1t will be done at the present location if the city does
-f4t~ b,y the property. Whether to be used commercially or
for parks, the purchase would be a good investment. but IL
ID certain that once the enlarged gas plant is erected there
that whole neighborhood will be spoiled for all time for
residential purposes. 1t will mean the driving out OF town
Of many more desirable citizens-people whom the city
can i'll afford to lose.
Wbv cannot the Board of Aldermen see the Importance
Of a city plan before it is too late? 1t is probable that Mayor
Wilson, tonight, will send to the aldermen the names OF a
new city plan commission. This board, under the law OF
1921, is vested with wide powers. There is not a place IN
New Jersey where a comprehensive city plan is so badly
needed.
Let us hope this new commission will get to work and,
with the backing of the entire city government, give Perth
Amboy something worth while in the way OF a plan so that
manv of the problems. doubts and uncertainties now con-
fronting the people will be settled for all time.

Eastern Galicia, part of Aus
tria-Hungary before the World War,
now claimed by Poland n h Uk-
raine, occupies a peculiar position
among the proposed plebiscite areas.
Most of them have either been given
under mandate or actually voted on
but Eastern Galicia still, in theory. is
territory under the control OF the
Supreme Council but temporarily in
the hands of Poland. Because both
claimants to it desire quick action
the council may decide its status at
an early meeting.
This one-time patch of the old
Austrian empire is the subject of the
following bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society:
Poles Controlled Under Austrian
Empire
"In finding herself under Polish
| control Eastern Galicia is experience
ing nothing new, though Poland as a
| state has been resurrected only a
| few years. Under the Hapsburgs
Eastern and Western Galicia were
administered as a unit and the Poles
| of the west slightly exceeded the
Ruthenians of the east. Then, too,
landlordism vas developed on a ba-
sis approaching feudalism and Snany
VI tllC Z w
were Poles. Finally the finances of
the east, largely controlled from the
city of Lemberg, were chiefly in Po-
lish hands. Because of these condi-
lions, though Eastern Galicia Is pre-
dominantly Ruthenian, it was under
Polish control. Galicia as a whole,
in fact, was often looked upon as
the Polish section of Austria-Hun-
gary, and from 1859 the Poles had
permission to conduct the govern
ment of the entire province in the
Polish language.
when the World War was over
Eastern Galicia set itself up as a
republic, elected a president, and be-
gan affiliations with the Ukraine over
the old Russian line to the east. This
association was due to blood, Ian
guage and religion, for in these three
respects the Ruthenians n Uk-
rainians-or more properly the Uk-
rainians Of Eastern Galicia and Uk-
rainia-are practically one. Before
the partition Of old Poland in 1772
Eastern Galicia' was known as
Western Ukrainia.' Then the Aus
trian-Russian boundary line was
erected between the two and
has remained practically ever since.
Important Factor in European Pc
troleum Supply
eastern Galicia is about half the
size of present Austria and is a rough
rectangle something more than 100
miles in each direction. Its south
ern line is formed by the Carpathian
mountains at a place where some of
their peaks reach the perpetual snow
line. Eastern Galicia is thus cut off
from the warm winds of the south,
and so has a rigorous climate. A
tributary of the Dniester river is the
only geographical. feature which di-
vides it from the present Ukrainian
