THE NEW CITY PLAN COMMISSION

Mayor Wilson is to be congratulated on the callbre OF
men he has chosen for the new City Plan Commission. 1t
looks as if something really worth while may now be ac-
complished in this most important matter. Under the laws OF
1924 the City Plan Commission is invested with wide powers
and with such men as the mayor has named to WELD these
powers Perth Amboy ought to be greatly benefited.
While the appropriation for the commission is only
SO. 500 this year there is every reason to believe that even
with that small amount the City Plan Commission will be
able to show results so as to warrant a bigger appropriation
next year. In the meantime there are numerous projects
pending concerning the city development in which the City
plan Commission is vitality interested.
The commission has considerable authority IN sllch
matters as the elimination of the grade crossings, for IN
stance. and the new board may be expected to play an I'M
portant part in settling that important question. Then there
is the matter of the million dollar development along the
waterfront. In this connection it is interesting to note that
four Of the members of the new City Plan Commission are
members of the committee that was appointed by the BOARD
Of Aldermen last year to look into the feasibility OF spending
one million dollars in harbor development. They are alread!
thoroughly familiar with this project.
# means much for the city to have such a Doard a. le
mavor has lust named to look after these things. lhese
men have the interest of the city at heart. Ihey nave ho
axes to grind and. with their intelligence and experience as
well as the ability to accomplish things, the coming year
ourht TO see q big advance-toward a real comprehensive Guy
plan for Perth Amboy.

PUBLIC OPINION
sEWAREN
Sewaren, Feb. 3, 1929.
- 4IA ICArth Ap,hnO EvnnIng

wv Sip WE
Editor Of the Perth Amboy Evening
Kindly allow me some space in
your valuable paper for the purpose
of expressing my views in the mat
ter of annexing Sewaren TO Perth
Amboy. To annex Sewaren to Perth
Amboy is n good ide as the
speakers Of Perth Amboy expressed
themselves last night at q meeting
held for that purpose. I as one OF
the old taxpayers Of Perth Amboy
know for q fact that the taxpayers
in Perth Amboy are not getting
their moneys worth.
i. Let us take for instance what they
call North Amboy> right in the heart
of the city from the Lehigh valley
railroad bridge up. First we come
to Elizabeth. Charles, lower Cort-
landt, Catherine, West Side avenue,
and in fact every street through n
sixth ward is in such condition that
it you want to cross the street you
are forced to use rubber boots or
otherwise you would lose your shoes
In the mud. If we cross Amboy Z
nue. to the place called ~Chiclkentown
there are people that live on those
streets who are just as good tax
payers as the ones On Smith street
or any other business street. They
are forced to pay for all the 1m'
provements that m going on in the
city Of Perth Amboy, but do they
get some Of the improvements for
the money they are forced to pay
in taxes?
1 know people In that section of
the city who are working year after
year to get the place improved only
| with a sewer to get the surface water
| out of the way, but UP to this time
nothing has been done. Of course
their taxes are growing from year
to year.
None of us can kick about this i'm
provement. I could say a lot more
! about Perth Amboy being far be-
hind with their promises OF inn
| provement, but I would like to ex-
press my feeling about Woodbridge
township, as a taxpayer and resident
| of Sewaren at the present time Sc
warren residents must do something
to get the benefit out Of their prop
| erty which is due them, as MIR.
| Quinn expressed himself at las.
| nights meeting. We have to go
either forward of backward. l UNI
| derstand that we must prepare 10
Improve Sewaren or neglect 1t Is
i. is now. We all can plainly see
that our beautiful residential section
is entirely neglected at present and
il we do not wake UP now. In a few
years from now we will be able to
see only q dump OF Sewaren.
Someone might ask ME: Why
The nswer Is because as 1t Is at the
present time real estate people have
in their hands most of the land
here in Sewaren for sale for building
purposes and if we do not join with

BETTER Than CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold Of the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense OF
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
LIQUIDS. It is best not to take calomel,
Let Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when youfeel "logy" and
"heavy." They clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and SOC.

HASKIN TELLS OF TORCH
BEARERS OF SENVlCE
ally Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-SeVen
teen years ago. a Chicago lawyer,
Mr. Paul Harris, conceived the ldea
of bringing together the business
and professional men of a commun-
inv in n way which would eliminate
any question of rivalry in business
or profession and that would permit
these men to get at the very found;'-
tion of all matters of importance 10
the community. The idea was 10
helm society as a whole, with a view
to making the members or the pro-
posed club better members OF So
ciety by giving them a wider VISION
of o~pportunities to serve society, ana
to make them better representatives.
of their own profession or business
to the end that they might carry the
message and example of service ~
the members of their profession ana
men in their lines of business VINO
we're not members of the CLUB.
On February 20. 1905, Mr.. Har-
ris and three friends formed the
Chicago Rotary Club with MS foun-
dation: u,a
/. THAT each member should
hedge himself to the service or SO
ctety in general, his community, ms
business or profession, ana MS noitv;
9. That each member shouio
pledge himself to the service OF Dust
ness or each profession admitted &c
the club. -
3. That each member should be
addressed always by his 1rst name
or q nickname.
4. That n member falling to at
tend four successive meetings. saw
ing only in case of illness or absepce
from the city, should aut omatlcalIV
forfeit his membership. 49,
These are described as the big
principles of Rotary, and ne CLUBS
have spread to 25 countries There
are now 1854 clubs throughout the
world, with memberships agSregat'
ing 10000.
