SEEK NEW CANAL BRIDGE

Lambertville-Th City Commits
sioners are working toward the ac-
QUESTION of new bridge over the
canal at the railroad station. The
Canal Company have expressed
their willingness to cooperate with
the city if they can secure permits
sion to close the canal to traffic.
They have surveyed the <stuation,
and estimate thoat concrete and
steel structure can he built for
some $4,000 to the full width of
Bridge street.
The present Anticipated structure
is not only an eyesore to the city,
but is menace to traffic. Last
year when two cars were trying to
pass on the bridge one of them
struck the brace rod up one side
and in the spill one of the occupants
had leg broken. He was con-
fined to the hospital for several
months, and it was lately reported
that the leg had to be amputated.
AS it costs more to ship by canal
boat to Lambertville than it does
by rail, it should be possible to get
permission from manufactures
along the canal to agree TO its clos
ing to traffic. Certainly anything
so beneficial to the city should not
be blocked.

Quality Department

Seconds are still on the decline
and it begins to look as though the
makers have reason to be proud of
stamping their respective numbers
on the goods they make. Ii is
therefore all the more surprising
that many of them neglect stamp
ing their shoes at all, something
which ought not be forgotten.
Somehow or other we have a
feeling that the preparatory de-
partments from the mill room up
to the making rooms seem to think
that quality is thing which con
Germs only the makers. If these
same preparatory departments con
trive to get the stock to the makers,
never mind how, then they have
done their part. This is entirely
wrong Quality must start in the
mill room and follow up the hne
or else we cannot have Quality in
the making, As in the army, one
arm supports the other, SO in in.
dustry one department must support
the other Work together for DUAL
ity. It's plain bread and butter
proposition.

City SaveS Money
ON Ballot Printing

Lambeitville-Up until the Fall
of 1921 the Primary Election bal
lots for the city had been awarded
TO the Lambertville Beacon without
bids being asked Shortly after
Commissioner Malloy was appointed
last year he introduced resolution
to ask for bids on the printing. The
City Treaaurer's report for 1921
showed that the Beacon had been
paid $555 for the printing, and
Commissioner Malloy believed that
with competitive bidding the work
could be secured cheaper.
The resolution was adoped, and
when bids were asked for the 1922
ballots and election notices, the
Beacon bid $40 ($2l5 less than
was charged in 1920, and the
LambeltviIle Record bid $255 Con
sequently, the printing was award
ed TO the Record, and the city saved
$500 over the price Of 1921.
This year the Beacon offered to
do the work for 5000 (just $355 less
than il sprice for 1920, and secured
the contract as the lowest bidder.
Thus the city has saved $655 on
the ballot printing in two years,
due to Commissioner Malloy's SEN
sible resolution.

meeting was to get concrete eX-

need of improved school facilities.
Charles Strahan, assistant Com
missioner Of Education, addressed
the meeting. He commended the
local Board of Education for its
good work despite the handicaps
faced in lack of buildings and fa-
ciIities. Referring to the recent cri-
ticisms of the failures Of New Jer-
sey high school graduates to pass
examinations at the State Normal
School he said that the people who
talked the most usually knew the
the least about it, He pointed out
that much had been said about
teaching the Fl; fundamentals, and
he would to know what they are.
Nobody volunteered to inform him.
He made the point that the so
called fundamentals" might differ
with individuals Therefore instruct
ors have to do the best they can
with large classes Of students. To
this end he urged unstintcd sup
port in giving the schools all the
equipment possible.
The sentiment of the meeting
was unanimous in favor Of supply
ing needed buildings and equipment
for Lambertville schools. Another
meeting is to be held in two weeks
when it expected definite plans can
be reported.
