THE GETAWAY

Some queer angles on crime are revealed by the National
Surety Company, large organization that puts up bond for
cashiers, treasurers, ticket sellers and others entrusted with
money.
The largest bond claim paid by this company last year was
$233,333. Whoever got away with that sum was one of the
top-notch criminals Of 1922.
The smallest bond claim paid by the N. S. G. was FIVE
cents. Names are kept secret in such matters, but we'd like
to have a look at the business man who'd go to the bother OF
enforcing and collecting a claim for a nickel. Probably.
though, it's like keeping books-wasting dollars OF time to
find an error of one cent.
A strange thing about thieves is that they usually play for
comparatively small stakes. For instances, the National
Surety in one year paid 1928 bond claims under $l0ooe
each, and only So claims above $4,000. You often hear pee
pie say, sI wouldn't steal, but if I was going to I'd pull OF
something Big It doesn't work out that way on the law OF
averages.
Rather extraordinary is the National Surety S state
men: "The smallest bond we gave was for $l.O0."
YOU'D find it interesting if you could trace that back.
Who was the man who couldn't be trusted with 81 except
under bonding protection? It's just as well we don't know.
An investigation might prove disappointing. Probably a case
law or some other technicalty, had to be bonded for a nominal
sum. It's a queer transaction. We pass it by as one of the
unsolved mysteries.
The largest bond written by the National Surety last year
was for ~$2,124,535. That's a lot of money to entrust to one
person under conditions that make theft a matter Of choice.
Nothing stood between the bonded person and flight except
the bonding company, its detectives, the law and-greatest
safeguard of all-the individuals character.
But how many people would you trust with $~2,124,535?
People, however, apparently are most honest on the aver
age than is generally realized. The National Surety in its
SO years of doing business has had to deal with over 100000
defaulters. But these formed only a fraction Of the millions
whose honesty and integrity it guaranteed.
The absconder gets the publicity, but he's far-and-away
in the minority.

THE CITY HOSPITAL

While the Perth Amboy City Hospital is an institution that
Fan never be forgotten by the people of this city, once a year at
IL. commencement exercises of the training school for nurses
II stands out prominently before the public and we are able to
realize what a tremendous asset it is. Perth Amboy is proud of its
hospital and is proud Of the work it is doing. Its reputation has
uurssd far and beyond the city and county limits rejecting great
pesdit on the people here.
The graduating exercises last night were OF the usual nigh
Asder. fully unfolding the excellent standard that has long been
maintained. The new class Of nurses go forth into the world to
nxactics their profession with a training that assures them leader
shfp in their work. The praise they received last night was well
deserved, and the sound advice given will be needed. These
nurses Join the former graduates who are doing such noble work
for the cause of humanity.
At the exercises last night an announcement was made that
win interest all the women Of the city. A day has been set apart
~ them to visit the hospital and see what a wonderful institution
IN city has. Tt is only when someone is sick and sent to the hos
,ttaN for treatment that the average person thinks OF going there.
mt Near after year those going by the hospitaf-have noticed its
aaustoAt growth, and the interest has been widespread. Now an
oonortuAaity is to be offered to make a thorough inspection of the
entire insAituton. Nurses and the alumnse will be on hand to act
j. euides 80 that an intelligent understanding of the wonderful
naant can be had. It is going to be an occasion especially for the
~uomen OF Perth Amboy to renew their acquaintance with the city
hosuital and see what has been accomplished in recent years. No
doubt a big surprise is in store for many.
Remembering what hard work it was to get the hospital
started many years ago, and the doubts that were expressed as to
liz success, the wonderful growth Of the institution is highly COM
pnmsptsrx to the people Of the city and to the management

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CITY

Talk of commission government for Perth Amboy VIII not
down. In spite of the fact that there have already been two at
tempts to put it across here, hope springs eternal, and there Il no
doubt that eventually it will succeed. Some day when the people
become thoroughly disguised with the way the city is being run
high taxes with little to show for the money; a city debt already
exceeds the legal limit, thanks to special legislation passed especial
" for the benefit of Perth Amboy; and with all improvements halt
I'd because there is not sufficient money to furnish adequate edu-
sational facilities for the c~hildren-some day, we say, commission
acysrnment Is going to be adopted because it is the only logical
way to remedy The situation and furnish the relief that the tax
payers must have.
Here is a great opportunity for some person in Perth Amboy
ID play a prominent part in advancing the interest Of the city.
Mayor King, of Camden, told the people of that city after he was
elected that he would rather retire to private life than continue as
MAYOR with his hands tied. He led the commission government
movement there and put it across in fine style; but the people
saw to 1t that he did not retire to private life. They recognized
in him the type of man they wanted in charge OF public affairs and
he was high man when the commissioners were elected lie proved
himself to be an aggressive, fearless fighter for the rights of the
people.
Who will be the Mayor King of Perth Amboy9
There is a persistent call right now for a real man with red
stood in his veins to 90 out and clean up the present situation here,
and put Perth Amboy on the road to progress and prosperity once
more. 1t is the opportunity of a life time. The occasion requires
4 man who win rise above partisan politics and petty STRIFE a man
big enough to overlook personal jealousies and carping criticism;
he must be a man who believes in Perth Amboy so thoroughly
that he is willing to make any kind of a sacrifice, if necessary, for
the sake of the city. Such a man the people will gladly follow;
they are looking for just such a man right now to lead them out of
the present municipal darkness into the light Of a new day filed
with opportunity and hope.
Commission government is not perfect by any means. 1t has
is faults, but its adoption would at least free the city from the
antiauated charter under which it is now working. Then, besides,
while we are about it, Perth Amboy might. regain her reputation
as a pacemaking city by going all the way and taking advantage
of the new law passed by the last legislature permitting cities to
employ a city manager. To be the first municipality in the state
ID have a city manager would put Perth Amboy in the front ranks
Of the progressive cities of the country. This is the big thing to
10 = far az advancing the interests of Perth Amboy is concerned.

Charles itself by more than 10 cents
on first-class, 16 cents on second-class,
13 cents on third-class, g cents on
fourth-class, cents on fifth-class and
6 cents on sixth-class. Commodity
rates on corn are found unreasonable
to the extent that they exceed the
Cape Charles rates by more than a
cents per 100 pounds in carloads, or
more than 8 cents in less than car
loads and the rates on fertilizer, in
less than carloads are to the extent
that they exceed 81 ton.
The railroad company claimed
water competition as justification for
making the rates lower for Cape
Charles than for points on the branch
line.
This is one of the biggest victories
for the truck farmers of lower North
ampton county in it's history, and en-
ables them to enjoy the same rates on
both inbound and outbound freight
that are in effect on the main line
from Cape Charles north.
