APPLEbY ACTS
ON POST OFFICE
Congress Introduces Bill Au-
thorizing $4,000 Exten-
sion to Local Building
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
washington Corresponding of the
Perth AmbOy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9:-Appro-
priation of $115,000 for extending
and remodeling the Perth Amboy
postoffice is provided for in a bill in
troduced in the House today by Con-
gresham r. Frank Appleby.
Twenty thousand dollars of this
amount is to be spent for additional
land and $95,000 for the building
work.
This bill is intended to carry out
the recommendations made jointly
to congress last Wednesday by Post
master General Work and Secretary
Mellon.
Congressman Appleby stated today
that no information had come to him
from Perth Amboy that the extern
sion and remodeling of the postoffice
building there is necessary, or he
would have introduced a bill long
ago to provide for it. But since the
postofice department has found that
remodeling and extension of the
postoffice is necessary he intends to
obtain the authority and money to
carry it out, Mr.. Appleby added.
Whenever a decision is finally
reached that there is to be an omn1-
bus public buildings bill this session
Mr.. Appleby will go before the
House buildings committee and urge
adoption of the Perth Amboy item.
The omnibus buildings bill is still
a complete uncertainty. Chairman
Langley of the buildings committee
is insisting he will report out bill,
and the House members boast they
will pass it. Republican Floor Lead
er Mondell and Chairman Madden
of the House appropriations commit
tee continue to insist that the gov
ernment economy program will not
permit of its passage. Final decision
of the matter is expected within the
next week.

FIGURES ON
CITY GARBAGE
Chairman of Street Commit
tee Defends Present Mu-
nicipaI Collection
ARE SAVING MONEY
Hopes to Purchase Necessary
Equipment This Year
FavorS New Dump

The municipal collection of gar
bage was upheld today by Alderman
Thomas Patten, who declared that
up to the present time, period of
six months, the municipal system of
collection has saved the city total
of $7,305.01,' and that by the end of
the year the municipal collection
will have saved the city total OF
$14,610.02 under the price asked in
the lowest bid, which the aldermen
refused to accept.
The cost of collecting the garbage,
according to figures Alderman Pat
ten had obtained from the comp
troller's office, for a period of six
months has been $40, ,694.99. OF this
amount sS,S79.18 has been paid to
city employees who work on the
wagons and $11,S18.S1 paid to the
firm of Graham & Mckeon, from
and drivers to aid in the collection
of the garbage.
The above amount is a saving of
$305.01 over the previous contract,
which cost the city a total of S3,500
a month or $4,000 for six months
period. The saving over the new
contract which the city refused to
sign is $7,305.01 for d six months
period. The cost of collecting the
garbage under the new contract for
a period of six months had it been
accepted would have been $2S,000.
Alderman Patten holds that not
only is money being saved under the
municipal collection of garbage, but
he 10 onYtt
better than under the old contract
system. He admits the city is
handicapped by hiring teams and
wagons, but intends to recommend
to the board that equipment be pur-
chased Immediately, SO that the hir-
ing of equipment can be done away
with. Mr.. Patten is of the opinion
that enough can be saved out OF
the garbage appropriation to pur-
chase the necessary equipment. He
also predicts that the service will
continue to improve under the muni-
cipal collection system.
Alderman Patten said he was al
lost to understand why Mayor
Wilson should refuse to sign the
checks now, when he was signing
them right along, even as late as
those for November. The alderman
was Oh the OplHlOHS however that
the figures published today will show
the mayor that money is being saved
and the checks would then be
signed.
Mr.. Patten admitted that a new
dump is needed by the city and that
he had taken the matter up with
the mayor and also the former city
engineer. Mr.. Patten said he is
seeking a new place to dump the
garbage, but he has been unable to
locate one as yet.
Mr.. Patten recalled that only re-
Gently delegation representing
1900 union men of the city visited
the city hall and endorsed the muni-
cipal garbage collection, and de-
clared that he did not believe the
citizens desired the aldermen to go
back to the old method, or that there
is an alderman on the board who
would dare go hack to the old
method.

II. S. Envoy Sees WIIfuI
Default BY Germany

above all others, should observe the
secrecy imposed by the commission.
Mr.. Boyden was quoted as citing
in support of his view. the absurdity
of declaring Germany in voluntary
default in kind were entirely too
great a burden upon Germany in
her present condition, but that the
commission under the treaty pro-
cedure, could do nothing but recog-
nize the default.
Mr.. Boyden told the Associated
Press afterward he was unable to
make known the nature of the state
ment he had made, as he was pledg-
ed to secrecy, but it was learned au-
thoritatively that he had taken the
view that while a default actually
existed in German coal deliveries for
1922 the conditions under which the
default occurred were such that it
required special consideration.
Mr.. Boyden, it is further UNDER
stood, declared the sum total of de-
liveries in kind by Germany, includ-
ing coal, were too great a burden
upon her. The present default in
coal, he thought, should have been
considered from this point Of xieMa
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-01-09

PARIS, Jan. 9,-(By The Asso-
oiated Press s)-Germany was voted
in wilful default of her 1922 coal
deliveries by the reparations COM
mission today at a session featured
by an address by Roland w. Boy
den in which the American repre-
sentative with the commission sew
erely criticized the workings OF the
treaty of Versailles in certain re-
spects.
Mr.. Boyden's structures created
much surprise and excited hardly
less interest than the formal declar-
alton of Germany's default.
The statement made by Mr.. Boy
den before the vote in the secret
session was described by some OF
those who heard him as "a condem-
sailles and a suggestion that 1t
should be revised as soon as possible
in the interests of the economic re-
vival of Europe"

Governors Recommendations
Include Boost Over Last
Year

TRENTON, Jan. 9.--An increase
of $1,255,697.59 over the total bud
get recommendation to the 1922
legislature characterizes the message
of Governor Edwards sent to the
legislature today. He received in
all from various state departments
and institutions requests for money
to run them totaling $20,524,726.03
and he recommends appropriations
by this new legislature aggregating
SIS, ,944.33. Last year Mr.. Ed
wards budget amounted to $13,-
S96, 6,246.74, and the 1929 lawmaking
body passed an appropriation bill
carrying the sum of $15,097, ,213.75.
Leaving out the certain items
which he must automatically recon-
mend to be included in the appro-
priation for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1923 for which his budget
message was presented to the iegis-
lature today, the governor fixed as
the amount which should be spent
from the states general funds for
various purposes the sum of Sill
262, 2,264.44. The budget act provides
that in preparing this portion of his
message the executive must keep
within the anticipated revenues of
the state for the fiscal year for which
it is drawn up. The state treasurer
and state comptroller having advised
him that there will be available for
expenditure during the next fiscal
year the sum of $11,270,753.25, Mr..
Edwards, of course kept this portion
of his recommendations within that
limit by fixing the sum at $11 1,262.-

Of RATAbLES
IS APPROVED
Includes Assessments Along
Smith Street and Other
Parts of City
COUNTY BOARD HERE
All Municipalities Visited by
County Board With Excep-
ton of Carteret

The MiddIesex County Board of
ed Perth Amboy and approved of
the 1928 ratables as set by the local
Board of Assessors, the figures
showing an increase of about ST.
100000 over last year. The assess
ments along Smith street and other
parts of the city. which had been OBJ
jected to by the county board some
time ago as being unequal, were
found to have been equalized suffi-
ciently to meet the approval of the
county board.
The increase in ratables of the
Perth Amboy industrial plants for
1928 is estimated to be about fifteen
per cent. by the county board. the
personal taxes against the industries
showing a five per cent. increase.
The anticipated increase of ST.
5OO,O 900 in ratables this year is not
as much of an increase as was
shown in Perth Anboy last year, the
1922 figures being S1,900,00O higher
than those Of 1921.
ONLY a slight increase is anticipat-
ed in New Brunswick in ratables this
year, it being generally understood
that the figures in that city are
about correct at the present time.
All of the municipalities with the
exception of Carteret have been
visited by the county board mem
bers, and within the next few days
an inspection will be made in that
borough. Special attention will be
paid to the industri plant ratables
in Carteret.
With only Carteret remaining to
be visited by the county tax board
members today expressed the belief
that the increase in ratables for the
entire county this year would be be
tween $6,0o0,0OO and 100000
This is about s2.000,000 less than
was originally anticipated from the
county as some of the municipalities
have not increased their assessments
as much as was expected.
