Rats was named in place of Cont
missioner Edgar A. Blessing, who
retired from the hearing Monday,
after Mayor Shank had objected to
him on the ground he had visited
Clarence H. Geist, president Of the
water company in the East.
The big crowd of spectators expect
ed by opponents OF the increase was
absent. The floor of the House was
filled. but the gallery was occupied
by only two persons, stenographers
employed by a State Office. Persons
or the floor represented civic organi-
zations.
Sites Valuation Order
Groninger confined his arguments
largely to questions of valuations and
what he termed the side door" order,
fixing the value of the water com
pany property at $16,000,0 900, several
months ago.
Groninger recalled an order made
in 1917 in which the commission val
ueG the property at SIS, 800 900. He
added that in subsequent years the
commission added the cost of improve
ments to the s9,500.000 to obtain
value. He said on this basis the value
in 1921 was fixed at s10.S14.000.
He declared the company is at
turn on 100000.
Question of Investment
Groninger declared the commission
ls bound by the old order, not the
new valuation order.
He declared the total investment in
the water property until March 81.
1923, was only 1859, ,47S.37. With the
deduction of depreciation, the net in
vestment was only $7,907. 741.47, he
said.
Groninger discussed at some length
the canal from which the company
obtains much OF it's water.
Canal Losses
1.-THE losses of the original owners
OF the canal should not be charged
up to the water consumers of Indian
aoplis," he shouted. THE canal was
built for transportation purposes and
the loss from this business has moth
ing to do with the water business.
"Only one-tenth of the water in the
canal goes into filter beds. The rest
goes down to Washington st. TO run
a turbine pump. The canal could be
abandoned from Holcomb Pl. south
at a great saving"
Earnings Always Excessive
Groninger said the books Of the
company show sS,569,47S.37 actually
was invested, after deduction Of de-
probation. up to March 81, 1928. He
declared only $4,441 .9O8 actually has
been put into the business from the
outside. He said $3,524,S34. of
surplus went back into the property.

of the Chinese girl by DIR. Amos
of Hopkins and DIR. John F. Hogan
OF the City Bureau of Communi
cable Diseases, both of whom have
diagnosed Pansy's case as "tuber
culosis leprosy."
Pansy Vow, born In a populous
center in China. was brought tc
vancouver, B. c., by her parents
when she was five years old. She
lived there until six years ago
when she married and moved to
Lowell.
About year later Pansy noticed
pimplee on her left cheek. She
did not suspect 1t at the time, but
the pimples were ''nodules" OF
leprosy. Later they spread to
her wrist and back, and what is
known as the augmented spot
appeared on her cheek. The flesh
at this point became white and
Pansy's husband brought her to
the girl later going to the hospital.

The diagnosis was made through
examination Of the tissues of the

Hampson Jones and DIR. Hogan
said last night there was not the

isolated In q private room. The
physicians do not consider it neces-
sary to restrict her husbands
liberty or to examine into her con-
facts in the Chinese colony.
Pansy will be, discharged from
Johns Hopkins Hospital within a
few days, since 1t is thought that

Disposition to be made of her
thereafter has not been decided.
Following precedent, the couple
would be returned to Lowell. The

SHADE TREES FOR PERTH AMBoY

Timely action is being taken by the park board regarding
.hade trees. Perth Amboy needs trees, and needs them badly. Time
was when this whole section was a virgin forest. The first settlers
found it a 'sweet, wholesome, and delightful place., )" and during
the year. Immediately preceding the Civil War Perth Amboy was
an attractive summer resort literally patronized by Southern
gentry.
Up until quite recent times the section of the city of which
Hall avenue is the center was always referred to as THE Woods
Beautiful trees grew all over this vicinity, so it cannot be said
that the soil is not suited for growing trees. Factory fumes may
have something to do with killing off the trees in and about Perth
Amboy in recent years, but there is reason to believe that other
causes are really to blame.
Those who have taken the trouble to investigate declare that
Perth Amboy than any other agency. This applies especially to
the NAPLES. These things have got to be taken into consideration
by the park board in planning for shade trees. After the first
sot the trees, to amount to anything, have got to have careful
attention. The spraying, pruning and cultivation must be pro-
vided for or else the money spent in buying trees and setting them
ont will be wasted.
The idea of shade trees, however, is a fine one and it is to be
hoped that the aldermen can see their way clear to provide the
funds necessary to carry out the plan of the park board. AT
least enough money should be provided to set out trees in and
about the different public schools throughout the city. Most of
these buildings today are bare, barren looking places. Environ
ment has a great deal to do with impressions formed by a growing
child. The city owes it to the coming generation and to itself, to
can be done is to set out a row, of trees along the curb in front
of each building and then teach the children to guard the trees
and care for them.

SEEKING ORDER

IS 1t is stated in Washington that President Coolidge is likely 10
throw his influence in favor of the proposed reorganization of the
government. President Harding and his cabinet had considered the
proposals for months without decision, MI. Hardingis advisers be-
ing at variance over the project and Mr.. Harding unwilling to exert
his authority.
The plans, as tentatively approved, provide for the consOlida.
tin Of the war and navy departments into a depart of national de-
fense. They also provide for the establishment Of a department of
public welfare. Various governmental bureaus, misplaced under
the present departmental arrangements, are to be transferred. The
most important Of these changes is the placing of the prohibition
enforcement problem under the department Of justice where it be-
longs. 81 EE9N rs #EEg
The recommendations for the reorganization of the govern.
ment must go to congress for approval. 1t will be strange if they
meet with immediate approval. Department employees and their
friends will resist changes which endanger their jobs. And, in
Washington, these elements are strong.
Army and navy officers, for the most part, are strongly oppos-
ed to the merging of their departments. Although without votes,
both services have always been Influential factors with congress.
Unless a strong public opinion opposes the thing for which army
and navy men use their influence, that thing is likely to receive
congregational approval. On the wisdom of consolidating the army
and navy department, public opinion has not been educated. The
problem is largely one Of military tactics. In the absence of public
pressure, proponents Of the measure will encounter hard Shedding.
The establishment Of a department of public welfare is another
on which public sentiment has not developed.

UNIFORM TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

Chief Tonnesen has brought home some excellent suggestions
from the convention of the National Police Chiefs Association,
especially in regard to traffic regulation. 1t would be a fine thing
II the police department in every city would adopt a unifrom sys-
tom of signals and regulations regarding traffic.
Automobile traffic is so universal and covers so much territory
that local conditions are only a small part Of what a driver has
10 contend with. Practically every autoist wants to obey the law
and observe the rules, but he passes from one town to another so
quickly that he is helpless when each town has a different set
of rules and regulations.
There has been a movement among the motor vehicle com
missioners of nearby states of late to get together on different
regulations regarding some of the more general features of auto
MODELLING, and this has been decidedly helpful. They can still
go a great deal further in this direction without burdening anyone.
This is true particularly regarding the Middle Atlantic and the
New England states. To have the police departments of the va
rious municipalities cooperating along this line, too, will be a long
step forward. Perth Amboy should be one of the first to take part
In any progressive movement like this.
