BUDGET HEARING TONIGHT

Tonight the taxpayers will be given an opportunity to tell the
aldermen what they think of the proposed budget for 1928. A
public hearing will be held in City Hall. Usually such hearings
are perfunctory affairs. 1t is pretty generally accepted that the
budget as arranged by the aldermen and published will be finally
adopted.
1t is no easy task to make up a budget for a growing munich
pality during these times. People who complain about increased
taxes ought to consider the demands they are constantly making
en- the city government. We are no longer satisfied to go about at
the pace we used to go. In fact our demands far exceed our will
ingness to pay for them, yet we go on making the demands and
find fault when they are not granted.
While We would like to see every department get all the
money that is asked for it, knowing full well that it all could be
spent legihmately in improving the service rendered to the people,
there is one item that we would like especially to have considered
again so as to make it possible for as much work to be done as pos
sible. This item is the appropriation for the City Plan Commits
sion. The Evening News will publish tomorrow the preliminary
report of the commission and later will publish the supplementary
report on the opening of Fayette street. Such a plan is of great
Importance to the city and sufficient funds should be made avail
able to continue the work on a more extensive scale during the
coming year. The whole development of the city depends on a
comprehensive city plan.
The City Plan Commission asked for ten or twelve thousand
sidering what such a plan means to Perth Amboy. But the alder
men, in their effort to keep down the tax rate, cut the appropria-
ton down to but a very little more than was given this commission
last year. Later the amount was raised to $4,000.
The Evening News would suggest that in view of the inability
of the harbor board to function because of the condition of the
city dock property, and as the anticipated revenue from that board
is but $4,000, that the five hundred dollars over the $4,000 that it
is proposed to give that board, be given to the City Plan Com
mission instead SO as to make the appropriation for the City Plan
Commission at least $1,000.
Taking the budget as a whole there is little criticism to be
made. It is impossible to please everybody. In fact, it is doubtful
if anybody is pleased, but the best has to be made of a difficult
situation under the circumstances. The big thing to do is to get
behind the city and boost, making the most out of what we have
which is a great deal considering our natural advantages which
sre practically ignored at the present time.

LOVE SECRETS

frequently people are only in love with love, when they
imagine they love a certain person. They crave for. an ideal
on whom they can lavish affections. Very often, they are
mistaken in believing that a given person perfectly fits that
ideal. 49,
When discovery comes, the disillusioned one sometimes
grows moody, occasionally insane with disappointment. Then
suicide is a danger.
In other cases, where mental discord is better, the person
merely says, "Well, I made a mistake. I pinned my ideal on
the wrong party"
Nothing except from one to three years of married life
can definitely determine whether the union is a fusion of two
ideal loves.
After the honeymoon, we begin coming down out Of the
clouds. The agatehard side of life roughly elbows through
the mists of romance. Decisions and illusions vanish. Lucky,
then, is the couple that finds ithasnt made a mistake.
That's why a girls mother always is more or less wor-
ried during the first year of her daughters welded life.
Time is the acid test in love, as in all things, and nothing
can serve as a substitute. ,a
However, there is one certain way by which most OF the
danger of wedding the wrong person car be avoided. That
way is for both man and woman to eel naturally and with
ont affectation, during courtship. If the romance is cunning
" staged. each trying to conceal his or her "pecuiarities,
or "weaknesses', from the other, the road is being paved for
disllusion and disappointment after the glamour OF the
honeymoon.

false pretenses.

SOME MORAL BY PRODUCT
OF u. S. PROHIBITION
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29:-The
President of the United States, to-
gether with his cabinet, and many
members of both Houses of co.,
gress and other government officials
are giving a good deal of thought
to the moral by-products OF the
prohibition amendment to the Con
stitution. Mr.. Harding announced
recently that practically the whole
of that days cabinet session was
devoted to a discussion of the pub
lie attitude toward prohibition. This
has been true of other cabinet days
and in addition many Lawmakers
and administrators of the law at
Washington are spending murh
time in earnest discussions of the
effect of the eighteenth amendment
The problem which is worrying
the President and other officials Is:
Are the American people in danger
of losing their innate respect for
law through the spectacle of whole
sale and continuous violation of the
Volstead act? viii the effect or
violation of this law bring other
laws into disrepute?
Prohibition has been a vehicle TO"
the whole gamut of jokes which can
be attached to such laws and fund"
amentally to the idea of Intoxicating
liquor. This has aided measuraolN
in building up in the minds of many
Americans the opinion hat prohibi-
ton itself Is a humorous mattel.
What worries the officials here is
that it is possible for the people to
persist in the joke view of any law,
no matter what its subject. They
are worried because theirs is the
task, first, of making the laws and.
second, of enforcing them, and II A
situation develops where public CO.
operation is lacking, the business OF
government will become extremely
difficult.
While prohibition is the most per-
picking problem Immediately before
the administration, the moral atti
tude which the President has de-
fined has extended already to other
statutes. Members of the House
committee on the judiciary recently
had a discussion of the ASTONISHING
relaxation in the public mind on the
subject of perjury.
Perjury Held Less Serious
In the British law. where most OF
our laws find their springs, perjury
was considered a very serious crime.
In this country, until recently. the
same opinion has been held. To
swear to a falsehood is heavily pun
able and the old-fashioned Amer
lean recoiled from the crime almost
as strongly as from murder. A can
vass of the situation in the courts
of the United States made in the
discussion by the members of tn
Judiciary Committee revealed that
perjury is getting to be a common
thing and, furthermore. often goes
wholly UNPUBLISHED.
One member of the committee
pointed out what he regarded as A
curious moral twist in the minds OF

CARTERET TO FORGE AHEAD

Our congratulations to the business men Of Carteret upon the
completion of the organization of the Chamber Of Commerce in
that borough. In view of the precarious existence of most Cham
bers of Commerce it will require all the civic spirit and enthusiasm
that can be aroused among the people to keep it functioning, but if
the proper interest is sho |n in the development of the borough
there ought to be no question as to its success.
Carteret has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in
the state. 1t has much to recommend it as a manufacturing center
and, with the proper kind Of boosting, there is hardly any limit to
what can be accomplished there. But as in all such places, the
boom with which the town starts gradually dies out; a certain per-
iod is reached which might be likened to the saturation point, and
unless energy and enterprise is shown when this time arrives there
is going to be stagnation. The town will continue to prosper, no
doubt, but it does not continue to grow as in the beginning.
Perth Amboy reached this slowingup period several years ago
and while everyone realizes the need of an organization whereby
the people can pull together to "carry on, - little is being done in
that direction at present and the city is losing out in the race with
sister municipalities. In Carteret, too, there has been a noticeable
slowing up recently. But the people there are alive to the situa-
ton and the organization of the Chamber of Commerce is the result
With such an organization the advantages of Carteret can be wide
ly advertised; the interests of the borough can be safeguarded
and, with the right kind Of cooperation, the progress that has
been so marked in recent years, can be continued. Here's wishing
he Chamber of Commerce of Carteret a long and successful career.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE cRIPpLEs

Repeating their success Of last summer when they gave the
crippled children of this community an outing to Asbury Park,
the Perth Amboy Lodge of Elks again had the little cripples as
their guests at q Christmas party Wednesday night at the Elks
club house. We doubt if there has ever been such a gathering in
Perth Amboy before. There are all kinds of charitable works 60
ing on here, but not until the Elks outing last summer had any
thing special been done for the crippled children. 1t is something
well worth while and the EIks are to be commended for the spirit
shown.
The scene at the Elks club house Wednesday night was a
touching one. Little emaciated forms that seemed to be all but
helpless were made to forget their handicap in life for a little
while, At least, as they made merry with the others afflicted more
or less IN the same way. The big hearted Elks saw to it that no
child was neglected and the most needy ones were given special at
tention.
Rest assured that whatever the Elks undertake is done well.
Having adopted the cripples as their special wards it is a forgone
conclusion that henceforth these little ones who are deprived Of so
nndy4 ~ jon Of childhood win never be neglected.
