GRADE CROSSINGS N H STREET

Very little progress has been made on the elimination of thet
grade crossings in this city thus far. Now that the summer rush is
over it is expected that there will be a little more activity on the
part of the railroad company. According to the order of the
Public Utility Commission the actual work must be started not
later than January 1. 1923. This means that less than two months
remain for getting things under way.
While the plans have been definitely agreed upon, there is
reason to believe that if some scheme for relieving the awful grade
at Washington street can be devised that will be equally satisslc
tory to the railroad companies and to the city it may not be too
late to make these alterations. Few people realize what Washing
ton street is going to look like under the plans as adopted. The
street is going to be carried far above the roofs of the houses. The
present grade at Hall avenue over the Central tracks is sighs
compared with what it is proposed to do at Washington street.
There is reason to believe that the experts engaged by the
City Plan Commission have given some consideration to this prob
lem in connection with the citys development. Of course, with
only $4,000 to work with very little could be expected, but as the
matter Of traffic has been given special consideration this question
of Washington street grade crossing could not be utterly ignored.
II might not be amiss to call upon the City Plan Commission for
anv information that it might have in this direction.
There is no desire on the part of the Evening News to open an
old subject that appears to have been settled, but if anything can
b. accomplished for the city before it is too late, it is our desire

GET BEHIND THE WINNERS

Whatever the outcome of todays election may be, it is the
duty of every citizen to get behind the winners and help make this
. better place to live in. As far as the local election is concerned,
there were no real issues at stake. One set of candidates is Just as
much for the advancement Of Perth Amboy as the other. I'll
largely depends on the kind of backing that the men in office get
whether they succeed in accomplishing something worth while or
not.
Perth Amboy needs a thorough awakening on the part of lis
citizenship. There must be a realization that the prosperity of TIE
city depends upon each individual. There must be more of a get.
together spirit and a determination to overlook petty differences
and personalities for the good of the community. There isn't al
city on the Atlantic coast that has greater advantages than Perth
Amboy; all that remains is for the people to make use of those
advantages for their own good.
1t is time now for a reorganization of the Board of Trade: a
re-awakening of the civic spirit and a willingness on the part Of
the leading citizens to sacrifice something, if necessary, in order
to advance Perth Amboy. With the election out of the way let us
all buckle down to some real work for the old town. 1t is the big
thing to do.

oLD-TIME SALOON BRAWL,

That report of a saloon brawl in Cortlandt street sounds like
cid times. The man who told his story to the Evening News bore
evidences of rough treatment. 1t was a Sunday morning, too, and
the trouble started, he declared, over ordering a man from the
place after he had been served with whiskey.
Here are all kinds of lawlessness going on without the least
attempt at secrecy. The fight is a mere incident serving mainly to
prove that a saloon is doing business in the same old way and 10
attempt is made to close it. One cannot help but wonder what
kind of whiskey I'll that is being sold at such a place as this. It is
not surprising that a few drinks put a man in fighting mood.
Anyone in authority who may be interested enough to lock
into this matter can secure the same facts that have been given
the Evening News by one Of the participants in the affair. Is this
brszen defiance of the law to be allowed to pass unnoticedG
