A DECENT LOOKUP NEEDED

While state authorities are investigating the conditions at the
state prison at Trenton, Alderman Clark has started a little investl-
cation of his own as to the condition at the city lookup. He finds
things in deplorable shape. So bad are they that the alderman has
reported the matter to the health authorities.
The condition of the city lookup is nothing new. 1t has been
complained of before. 1t does not receive much attention, how
ever, because the average citizen has no occasion to visit the place
and no one seems to care, anyway, what kind of a place the city
has for holding prisoners. Outside Investigators have reported the
place unfit but such reports, after being discussed for a brief PERIOD
have been forgotten. There is so much for the city to spend its
money for, that the lookup at the city hall is seldom thought of,
The fact is, however, every human being, whether he is ac-
eused of committing some crime or not, is entitled to decent treat
ment. The least a city that poses as a progressive municipality,
can do is to maintain a lookup fit for human beings to be IN.
Sometimes innocent parties are held there over night. In such
cases the city becomes the criminal for inficting such punishment
on those who have done nothing to deserve it.
There is no doubt that Chief Tonnesen does his best to keep
The lookup in as fit condition as possible, but the best that he can
do is entirely inadequate. The city needs a new lookup, or the
present one should be thoroughly renovated.

MARK THE DEToURS

Too much attention cannot be given to the marking oil detours
where the main highways are closed for paving, The State High
way Commission is very careful about this and the traveller has
no difficulty in finding his way over back roads and through
strange country when state roads are being repairs. County and
city authorities ought to be just as particular as the state authori-
ties in this regard.
How lax the city or county can be in properly marking de-
tours is to be seen on New Brunswick avenue where all traffic is
row shut off at Conyery place while the repaving is going on be-
tween that point and Florida Grove road. The arrow pointing the
direction of the detour sends the traveller to the north on Conyery
place. There is nothing else to indicate when, how or where to
get back on the main highway. The tourist can wander around
indefinitely through the various streets of the northwestern Sec
ton of the city picking his way the best he can.
Any person familiar with the section will reason it out for
himself that Brace avenue is part of the detour and he will travel
northward on Convery place to Brace avenue and then turn west
to Florida Grove road and thence back to New Brunswick avenue.
But there are no markers to indicate that this is the route. The
stranger. and there are lots of them travelling this road, is utterly
~bewiIdered. Every corner ought to be plainly marked throughout
The whole length of the detour so that there can be no mistake, not
even a hesitation.
incidentally, the street department might get busy ON Brace
avenue between Conyery place and Florida Grove road and put it
L bettershape. It is going to carry heavy traffic for some time now,
g Sre the New Brunswick avenue paving is going on, and it is
only fair that it be kept in as good condition as possible.

Where Plumbers Are Needed

Ono of the big programs under

that of the National Trade Extension

This volume also gives figures as
to the present need for plumbers

IN Pennsylvania: 1883 in New Jec-
sey; 900 in Michigan; $50 In Mass
a~chrsetts; 339 in Connecticut; 167
in Rhode Island. etc.
The shortage of apprentices which
results naturally in a shortage of
skilled workers is attributed in part
TO restrictions imposed by labor
organizations. but more to the pres
DAY tendency OF the American
YOUTH to seek what is known as the
wnlta collar Jobs. No small part of
the propaganda now being carried
on IL aimed at the correction of this
tendency and the exploitation Of the
advantages of learning a trade.
Experts who are studying the la
o situation in this country saw
that the need of skilled artisans AMI
operatives is increasing more rapidly
tnan ever as a result of the shortag e
or common labor. which in turn is
uuS largely to restricted immigra-
ton. More and more work must be

NEW BRIDGE OVER CREEK

1t is a grave question whether or not the county isn't wasting
money in trying to repair the old ~drawbridge over Woodbridge
creek at State street. This bridge never has been satisfactory. 1t
was one of those questionable jobs in the first place, and because
of poor foundations it has been impossible to make anything OF II.
A few years ago extensive repairs were made to the bridge;
one of the foundations was rebuilt, if we mistake not, and it was
thought that the structure was put in first class shape. Today 1t IS
as bad as it ever was. The bridge is an obstruction to navigation on
the creek when it is closed, and it delays traffic on State street for
on hour or more, sometimes, when it is open. Something radical
has got to be done.
The War Department has now taken a hand and a date for a
hearing has been fixed when the matter will be discussed. 1t will
be noticed that the Secretary of War, in the report of the district
engineer of the War Department, says that "it appears that the
removal of the bridge or its replacement by a new bridge is neces-
sary. Nothing is said about the rebuilding or repairing of the pres
ent structure. As il lis out of the question that the bridge should be
removed entirely, it is obvious that a new bridge is contemplated
by the federal authorities. The Boardlof ~Freeholders might as well
plan accordingly.
