ROTARY HEARS
CIVIC AFF AIRS
Members Urged to Set Exam
pile by Refraining from
Knocking the City

Ferd Garretson, chairman of the
civic committee, made an interest,"
ing report with recommendation at
the weekly luncheon of the Rotary
Club at the New Packer House to-
day. Besides various projects for
the development of the city, it was
recommended that Rotarians set the
example for boosting, not knocking
the city. "If you can't say good
word for Perth Amboy, at least re-
main silent" was the plea.
While Perth Amboy has a great
many shortcomings there are good
features that can be brought out,
but unless the people who live here
stand up for the city, it will be i'm
possible to get anyone else to do so.
Many cities in the South and West,
Mr.. Garretson said, are being boosted
SO loudly that it can be heard all
over the country, yet few of them
have any greater advantages to talk
about than Perth Amboy has.
The committee reported in favor
of a suitable Fourth of July cele-
bration. 1t was realized that it was
too late to do anything this year. but
it was felt that hereafter, if the city
authorities did not take enough in
terest in the day to have a suitable
municipal display of fireworks, off
the Bluff at night, the Rotary Club
should get behind such movement
next year and see that the occasion
is fittingly observed.
The idea of band concerts was al
so touched upon as desirable, and it
was suggested that some means be
adopted to remind people that they
gather around the bandstand to lis
ten to the music, not to hear the con-
versation of others.
The extension of Caledonian Park
by including the gas works property
was advocated: also to have bus lines
run down to the foot of High street
so that the park, with its cool
breeZes, can be more easily reached
by the large population in the upper
wards of the city. The relocation of
the sewers along the south shore so
as to permit the establishment of
bathing beaches there was urged.
In conclusion, it was brought out
that the cost of living in Jersey City
amounted to $55.45 per capita an
nually. If it cost every man, woman
and child that amount to live in
Perth Amboy there would be over a
million dollars more available for
park purposes and recreation CEN
ters here. 1t was urged that the
city be made so attractive that the
twenty per cent, of the members of
Rotary who now live out of town
would move back to Perth Amboy.
The budget as presented by the fl
nance committee, was formally
adopted by the club. The boys work
committee reported on the matter of
sending boys to camp.
A feature of the session was the
singing by the Cahill brothers, Wal
ter and Joseph. The youngsters heard
the club singing as the members dim
ed, and they sang in return, standing
close to an open window outside.
They were brought inside, and enter
tanned the members with their songs,
after which they were treated to ice
cream.

SEE DRASTIC MOVES

Although many places in New Jer-
sey are facing a water famine be-
cause of the continued drought Perth
Amboy has plenty of water and need
not fear any shortage. Superinten-
dent of the Water Department Sam
uel j. Mason this afternoon said the
supply is not only equal to the de-
mand made upon it but a large sur
plus is also on hand in case of an
emergency.
In addition to supplying all of
Perth Amboy, the local water depart
ment furnishes Keasbey with its
water. The remainder of Wood
bridge township receives its supply
from the Middlesex Water Company
which concern is also endeavoring to
assist the Plainfield Union Water
Company by supplying one million
gallons of water daily to it.
The conditions in such places as
Plainfield, Crawford, Garwood. West
field, Roselle and Kenilworth has
become so acute that industrial
plants have been notified that their
supplies are likely to be cut off with
out notice in order to assure the
people of having sufficient water for
living purposes. Mayors have is
sued proclamations calling upon the
residents to discontinue the prac-
tice of sprinkling lawns and gardens
during the present water famine and
in some sections the water supply
is so low the pressure has been in
sufficient to supply houses in the
high parts of the towns.
The low pressure is also fire
menace and firemen will be handi-
capped in fighting fires with poor
pressure. The reservoirs are re-
ported to have but little water in
them in these particular sections and
a heavy rain is looked upon as the
only thing that can bring relief.
Reports of low water pressure in
parts of Woodbridge township have
been heard during the recent dry
spell and in some cases houses have
been reported to have been with

URGES SIMILAR ACTION

ON BOARD PRESIDENT HARD
ING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, June 27
-(By The Associated Press)-
President Harding Travelled into
southwestern Utah today TO visit
Zion Park, the first of the three
National Fairgrounds he plans to see
during his western trip.
The entry point to the park Sc
lected by the President was Cedar
City, and his train left for there
shortly before midnight last night
from Salt Lake City after the chief
executive had concluded his sixth
prepared address of the trip.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 26:
President Harding outlined here
last night what the federal govern
ment has accomplished in decreas-
ing taxes and the public debt and
made plea for action along similar
lines by the states, municipalities
and counties.
The Executive said the federal
government is diligently seeking to
prove itself a helpful example" in
removing what he characterized as
the menace OF mounting taxes and
growing public indebtedness, but ad-
ded that this was not alone a fed
eral problem, that the improved
order must come into the units of
government into which the federal
government never intrudes."
Mr.. Harding did not take up in his
address any contemplated admins
tration program for tax revision for
the coming year. He did say how
ever, that the federal government
was working under program which
involves extinguishing a half billion
of the (public) debt. each year" and
asserted that the payments which
the British government will make
under the British-American debt
settlement will correspondingly re-
lieve the burden upon American tax
payers"
The President declared no other
country in the world had been able
to make such record in public debt
reduction as had the United States.
Pointing to a reduction of more than
one half in federal taxes during the
past two years as compared with
the war load peak in 1920, he de-
clared this was the record of bus
mess administration to which the
party now in control of the admin
istration feels justified in referring
with no small amount of satisfac-
ton.
