BOOZ ANSWERED
BY QUAKENBUSH.
FreehoIder Again Makes
Charge That City Engineer
is Playing Politics
TELLS OF ROAD BOND
Traffic Will be Diverted at
Woodbridge Through to
Fords to this City

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 80. -
in an interview today denied the as
sertion of City Engineer Louis P.
Booz, Jr., of Perth Amboy. that the
delay in opening New Brunswick
avenue is spite work. The freehold
er indicates that the attention being
given the New Brunswick avenue job
by the city engineer, instead of assist
ing the state in finishing Amboy ave-
nue., is an effort to discredit him.
Mr.. Quackenbush said:
"lt is apparent that Mr.. Booz does
not know the procedure necessary for
a county in accepting improvements
, from a contractor in order to protect
its best interests. If Mr.. Booz is the
engineer he claims he is, he should
know that in order that concrete
should properly set up. is is neces-
sary for a period of fourteen days to
elapse. He also should know as an
engineer that it is always necessary
for county or municipality to have
a final inspection by the respective
board in order to accept a contract.
1t is also necessary that mainten-
ance bond covering a period of four
years be placed Dy the CONTRACTOR dS
a guarantee on the improvements.
None of the above requirements have
been made. 1t is therefore apparents
that Mr.. Booz is trying to discredft
me for political reasons.
my suggestion to Mr.. Booz is that
he use some of his surplus energy
in conjunction with the state in fin
ishing the Amboy avenue proposition
which is certainly in a deplorable
condition and at the rate of speed
they are going now will take eight
months before completed, instead of
using his time criticizing the board
of freeholders which has completed
this specific job in seven weeks"
The freeholder also pointed out
that the lew Brunswick avenue
work was done according to state
specifications, and is completed by
July 1 as originally scheduled.
The job will be inspected at 3
o'clock this afternoon and imme-
diately after will be opened for traf-
fic, the freeholder also announced.

Only a Little One.

Washington's first real snow of the
season. falling February 6. comes later
than usual, and is much lighter than
seemed likely when the first flakes
began to show. 1t is not a severe
visitation. 1t has not materially i'm
peded traffic. The street cars were
only slightly delayed. during the first
hours of the fall. Motor traffic has
continued with no hindrance.
, A little over a year ago the capital
was hit by a snowstorm that blocked
it badly for some days, and incidental
ly precipitated an appalling disaster
AS all experiences are relative. this
present first visitation of the winter
appears to be of very small conse-
quence. and may be treated as merely
a bit Of a reminder that the seasons
have not altogether changed in this
latitude.
With perhaps less than four weeks
remaining of possible severe weather.
the coming and quick ending of the
present snowfall is rather an encour-
agement than cause of distress. Day
by day the spring approaches, and
Washington always welcomes that
season eagerly. The winter delays
simply heighten the capitals appreci-
alton of that delectable time when ii
arrives.

Clean the Walks.

Washington householders are re-
minded that there is now a snow
cleaning law under which they are re-
after a snowfall to clean their side
walks. If they do not do SO they are
subject to penalties. The District gov
ernment may clean the walks and as
sess the cost upon the householders.
This is a new law. enacted after a
long period during which there was
TO statute in force, owing to a court
ruling that the old snow law was in.
operative. Possibly this new one may
be attacked in legal procedure as a
test. Meanwhile it is the duty of every
body to clean the walks.
Good citizenship does not wait for
laws compulsion to make the side
walks passable in winter. The house
holder should remove the snow HIM
self, or hire some one to do it for him.
1t is for his own benefit as well as
for the aid of all others. He surely
does not want to wade through the
Siio" as hc passes lilC iiouSco VI iiS
neighbors and he should not want his
neighbors to wade through the snow
in front of his own premises.
A business man does not wait for
the sun to melt away the snow from
the walk in front of his store. He sets
one Of his assistants to work at once
after a snowfall and has the space
cleared. as a matter of good business.
He knows that people will note the
presence of snow on the walk as an
evidence of Indifference to their com
fort, and that this will react against
his trade. He is quick to manifest con-
sideration for those who approach and
those who merely pass his place.
The householder. having nothing TO
sell, has nevertheless the same induce
ment to clear his own walk. He does
not want to lose prestige. to be marked
by snow-covered sidewalk as a

self or too stingy to hire some one to
do it for him. In a few rare cases
there are excuses for inattention to
this matter, where there is no man in
the house physically capable of clear
ing away the snow. or where there are
no funds for the hire of a snow
cleaner. In such cases good neighbors
will always tackle the job. if the facts
are known.
Clean the walks at once without
waiting for the sun and without ref
erence to the law.

must be done to correct the evils in
the streets.
Undoubtedly it is true that Wash.
ington suffers severely froEl bad mo-
toring, with very few severe penal
ties for fragrant violations Of the
rules. Recently the courts have been
administering heavier punishments.
But the courts are congested and can
not reach all cases.
Judging from the number Of arrests
there is a tremendous amount Of rule
breaking in Washington by motorists.
Either the rules are not known
or they are regarded by some as
written only as a matter of form. The
average motorist may scrupulously
observe every regulation, for his own
protection as we'll as for the safety Of
others, while less conscientious drivers
over intersections too rapidly. collid-
ing and breaking the parking rules.
License forfeiture is so rare that such
case attracts the widest attention.
In yesterdays House debate it was
urgently declared that the license of a
driver who breaks the same rule twice
should be suspended, and one member
even proposed that in case Of per-
sistent violation the motor itself should
be confiscated as a penalty.

more severe in view of the fact that
for many years Russian officialdom
has been addicted to the squeeze"
habit. In the old days under the czar
the courts and civil administrators had
to be "seen." Under the soviet admin
istration, naturally, the same proce-
dure was continued. 1t has taken some
time for the idea of q reform to be
grasped at Moscow. Perhaps it has
been too busy to attend to such a de-
tail. At all events. now that. 1t has
started, it is going at the job thor
oughly.
The death penalty for grating is an
other Russian idea that will not be
accepted broadly in other lands. II
must be remembered that bolshevik
Russia has set out with such IL scale
of punishments that mere fines and
imprisonments are hardly adequate for
this offense in proportion. Death has
been inflicted for great variety OF
offenses much less serious than official
corruption. and it is quite natural that
in taking up this line Of reform the
soviet should apply the extreme PEN
atty.

Congress Talks Traffic Dangers

Yesterday the House of Representa-

Legislative business to talk about traf-

nearly an hour in vigorous denunci-
alton of the carelessness exhibited in
this city by motorists and the ex-
cessively high percentage of accidents.
Blame was put upon the courts for
failure to administer penalties, upon
the police for failure to make arrests,
upon the motorists for failure to obey
the rules. Some speakers urged more
stringent laws. others declared that
the laws are already drastic enough to
effect Il cure if they were fully en-
forced. No conclusion was reached,
there being no specific proposal be-
fore the House. The debate, however,
disclosed feeling that the capital is a

birds to line up before the regular
