PATTEN REPLY
D N GARBAGE
Tells What City Has Done in
Addressing the Third
Ward Democrats

Speaking at the meeting of the
Third Ward Democratic Club. last
night Alderman Thomas Patten,
candidate for reelection In that
ward, answered the comment of his
Republican opponent made at the
Republican rally in the high school
auditorium on Monday night with
reference to the garbage situation.
Mr.. Patten spoke as follows:
"I have never had occasion to
mention the name of the candidate
who opposed me in previous elec-
tions. do not desire to do 1t dur
ing this campaign. My appeal to the
voters of my ward has always been
based upon my record in office not
only of service to the third ward,
but of service to the entire city. At
Republican rally held Monday
night at the high school my oppo-
nent made certain statements which
are inaccurate and I am being urged
to answer those statements.
"Of course my opponent has no
personal knowledge of the figures he
quotes, SO that what he says about
garbage Is evidently what somebody
else told him and suppose that he
die not mean to mislead the public
by statements and figures that are
not correct. For his benefit and for
the>benefit of the public at large, l
submit that the manner in which
garbage has been collected in the
city of Perth Amboy since the COM
mittee on streets and sewers assumed
that work, and the amount of money
expended for that work are both a
credit to the city and to the commit
tee on streets and sewers of which
have been chairman during the
past three years. Independent con-
tractors three years ago submitted
bids for the collection of garbage in
the city. The lowest bid was S56,200
for one year.. The city thought that
amount was too high. The work was
turned over to the committee of
which was chairman and since that
time the city has taken care of the
collection of garbage for $4,000, a
saving of $4,000 per year.
I'VE have not only done the same
amount of work that the independ-
ent contractor had been doing for
$4,000, but we have added to our
service the collection of garbage in
the Lehigh Park section of the city
where garbage had never before
been collected by the contractor. Out
of the $4,000 appropriation, the
city has purchased all the wagons
and horses needed to cart the gar
bage. The collection of garbage by
the city of Perth Amboy has been
the most successful undertaking
that could be claimed by the city at
any time. The saving to the taxpay-
ers is enormous and the service is
increased. There is nothing political
in connection with the collection of
garbage and there is nothing politi-
cal in this statement. If the munich
pal collection of garbage did not
mean a saving to the taxpayers and
a great benefit to them in other
ways. would be one of She first to
advocate returning to the independ-
ent contractor.
with reference to the appropria-
tion for the street department, my
adversary states that there has been
an increase of $4,000 since 1922. 1t
is true that the appropriation shows
an increase, but the expenditure by

CREW Of zR-3
HAS GOOD REST
Germans of Outfit Leave Ship
Very ReIuctantly-See
Air Line

IAKEHURST, Oct. 16.-While
the whole world marvelled at their
feat the 81 member of the party that
travelled from Germany to America
in the ZR-3 today enjoyed their first
full day of rest since leaving Fried
richshafen Sunday. They spent the
evening before calmly telling the
story Of the fight in phrases that
seemed almost commonplace COM
pared to the magnitude of their ac-
complishment.
While they talked they smoked
a pleasure that was forbidden on the
ship because of the danger of an
explosion.
The Germans who composed the
crew which guided the giant airship
on her epoch-making fight left the
huge craft reluctantly. They were
fond of their craft with the fondness
of mariners for the vessel that has
brought them safely to port.
DIR. Hugo Eckener, Zeppelin presi-
dent, was commanded the ZR-S on
its transatlantic voyage, was so en-
thusiastic about the accomplishment
of his craft that he expressed the
belief that a regular line OF airships
carrying freight and passengers be-
tween Germany and the United
States might be established soon.
He said the trip could be made IN
less than 81 hours and IT minutes
the time required by the ZR-s to
make the voyage. DIR. Eckener ex-
planned that fog and adverse winds
had delayed him slightly, and added
that the time between shores was
really less than the flying time be-
cause the ship was at point over
the Massachusetts coast where II
could have landed safely, 7S hours
after ii left Friedrichshafen.
The giant airship was declared f1t
for immediate flight today after an
inspection which disclosed every
thing in perfect order.
