TO the Voters of Middlesex County:
AS it is a physically impossibility
for me to meet personally every
voter in the county, / take this
means of appealing for support for
election to the Board of F~reeholders
tomorrow. I fully realize the
great Importance attached to the
office, affecting as it does the fl
nances of the county, the supervis-
ion of it's affairs, and the expendi-
lures of yours-the taxpayers
money. Having had experience in
public office, l am familiar with its
workings, and l feel that a few of
the more important features as I see
them, should be set forth for your
consideration.
| would recommend the publica-
ton of a full detailed monthly report
of all disbursements of the county.
1t is very essential hat the taxpayers
| should know of such a report exact
| ly where the funds have been placed.
I am opposed to the present method
of alternating the publication of
| these monthly reports, for all the
, taxpayers should be treated alike,
All repairs on county roads and
| bridges, also new roads and bridges
should have the closest supervision
to prevent any possible error or
| waste. so that an idea of the cost
| can be ascertained before the work
is actually begun.
A close study of the needs of all
| sections of the county should be
made and a consistent policy of ac-
ton taken. / am opposed to the
present method of road repair for ]
dc not believe that the taxpayers
are getting a square deal.
In closing, l would call attention
to the frequent suggestion that party
recognition by a minority member
would result in greater efficiency in
caring for the needs and require
ments of the county as a whole. The
present Board of Freeholders is COM
posed of seven Republicans. Every
branch of our government should
have minority representation and the
Board of Freeholders should be NO
exception.
A favorable consideration in your
choice for this office will carry my
assurance of faithful attention to the
interests of all the taxpayers of Mid
dlesex county.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN A. BIRD,
(Paid for by Middlesex Co. Dem
ocratic Committee.)

JEWISH AIMS
Drive for Jewish Theological
Seminary is Started at
Dinner Here

Speaking at the dinner of the
Perth Amboy Committee Jewish
Theological Seminary here last night,
Governor George S. Silzer endorsed
the religious movements of the
world, and said that while there is
no established religion in the state
of New Jersey, the people are guar
anteed the freedom to worship as
may choose. 1t does not
matter what religion a man belongs
to as long as he belongs to some
religion, because, the governor SAID,
10 nation can exist without religion
n its teachings. The governor
denounced those who are attempting
to discredit the Jews because of their
alleged monopoly of affairs and be-
lieved thai the Jews compose a great
part of America and its elevation.
The governor endorsed the move
ment for the seminary declaring that
there is an evident need for relig-
ious teachers to help stimulate the
future generation.
Rabbi Max Drob, OF New York
City, chairman of the national com
mittee of the endowment fund said
that it was a sadness Ind sorrow that
in over 1900 communities the peo-s
PIE are MlliloOS 1
leaders.
Rabbi Drob told of the achieve
ments of the seminary it's future
needs to help produce religious
teachers who would preach the gos-
pei of Judaism. Rev. Nathan Col
ish, first speaker of the evening vivid
ly told of the purpose of the cam
paign declaring that the seminary
could not supply the 100 rabbis and
the 500 teachers clamored for. lie
also made a plea for the fund and
was first to contribute a sum which
he later doubled to the cause.
Isaac Alpern acted as POSTMASTER
making numerous remarks for big
| donations. Albert Leon was treas
urer. over $500 was subscribed by
| those present and it vas generally
| felt that the desired quota would be
secured without difficulty.

ernor also enjoyed was served by the
