TIE MAYOR rs RESPONSIBLE

A happy solution Of the police middle was reached at

recognize the right of the mayor to have absolute control of the
police department as is provided in the city charter, the aldermen
showed wisdom and common sense. A long, drawn-out fight would

would have been disastrous, and the aldermen are to be commend
ed for their attitude in the matter.
Responsibility for the conduct of the police force now rests
entirely with the mayor. He cannot escape. He voluntarily as
sumed it and the aldermen acquiesced. Knowing what confidence
the mayor has in the chief of police it is to be expected that ne will

PORT DEVELOPMENT HERE AND ELSEWHERE

New Orleans is about to start on one of the greatest port de.
velopment schemes ever devised by any municipality. 1t is pro-
posed to spend $780, 900 on a ship canal, wharves and ware
houses. The state of Connecticut spent a million dollars on a pier
al New London a few years ago and it is announced that an in
creased amount of business is being attracted to that port as a re-
suit. One of the recent acquisitions is the docking at New London
% the vessels bringing wood pulp from abroad to be distributed
throughout the country. Philadelphia and Baltimore are expand.
ing. More and more money is being spent on their waterwronts
and the greater development the greater the business received.
50 Perth Amboy's opportunity is in her harbor. Here is a match
less waterfront lying almost idle. The greater part of the shore is
the same as it was 100 years ago. Other places, through a civic
spirit and enterprise, have forged ahead while Perth Amboy has
remained Indifferent to her advantages. After years of agitation
the t~hirty-foot channel up the bay is in sight, but it is likely to be
lost unless the city bestirs herself.
