Agreement on Crossing At Morgan
Brown Fires BrOadSide
On City Government

Thomas Brown, in a communica-
tion to Jacob S. Karkus, copy of
which was released for publication
today congratulates Mr.. Karkus for
his activity in fighting the payment
of the Hartmann judgment in the
supreme court, thus keeping the city
from paying this amount of money
for the time being at least, and also
fires a broadside at the present city
fathers, in which he takes issue with
them for their way of conducting the
business of the city.
The communication follows closely
that sent to the Patrolmen's Be-
nevolent Association in which Mr..
Brown advocated the adoption of
commission government for Perth
Amboy. The communication to Mr..
Karkus is herewith published in full:
april 7th, 1924.
Jacob S. Karkus, Esq,
Counsellor at Law,
"1cS Smith ST., City.
Dear Mr.. Karkus:
LAS a citizen of Pertr Amboy !
congratulate you on your public
spirit and successful effort in having
set aside the judgment of $500
against the city which was the result
of an undefended suit. The plain
tiff might be entitled to judgment
but that is no reason why the city
should not have its day in court
and be honestly represented.
Being from Perth Amboy 1t was
humiliating to hear in the supreme
court before all the state that the
city of Perth Amboy, one of the old
est and time honored cities of the
nation, for the lack of defender
became judgment debted. It was
the first time in the history of our
city this thing has happened and
hope it will be the last
"Your manly act and the able
manner in which you represented
your client entitled you to the
praise of every decent citizen. If the
average tax payer knew how the
business of the city is being con-
Quoted there would be riot in the
town before sun-down. But few
weeks past while attending a meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen where
was presented for payment several
bills for repairs for one fire truck.
Alderman Clark rightfully objected

THREE POLLING PLACES TO
Be ADDED IN THIS CITY

City Engineer Louis P. Booz, Jr
is now working on the city election
district map in order to determine
how the three additional polls. made
necessary by the large vote at last
years general election, shall be laid
out. These changes will not affect
the number of wards in the city but
three new districts will be LAID out
as a result of the heavy balloting in
one poll of the fourth ward and in
the sixth.
According to the election laws a
new district must be established
wherever the number of votes cast
at a general election exceeds 600.
This occurred in three polls last fall
necessitating the adding of three
more polls in the city. The districts
having the large vote We're: Fourth
ward, second poll; Sixth ward, Sec
ond and third polls.
According TO information received
in the city clerks office these
districts will not be used at tlsn
presidential primaries but they viii

Seyenty-six hundred and seven news
papers. of the United States, out Of q
total of 1888, are now Newspaper As
ISOLATION Members of the National
Highways Association These mem
bers receive from the association road
news every week. The majority OF
these papers publish part or all OF
this news every week.
Why?
Only because progressive papers,
realizing the intense interest taken by
everyone everywhere, in roads, desire
to serve their readers with the sort
of information and news stories they
want to read.
That more than half the papers OF
this great country are so interested in
highways, highway building, highway
maintenance, and highway use, is a
sufficient indication of the Importance
of the subject to the body polite. On
roads depend, in an increasing degree
every year, our transportation. IL is
not so long ago that the railroads re-
presented the largest industry in the
United States. Recently the automo-
bile industry passed the railroads in
size; it is now the country's largest in
dustry exclusive of farming.) But the
automobile industry in turn is destined
soon to be passed by road building,
which will be the greatest single in
dustry in this Nation.
Transportation is rails plus cars,
rivers plus boats, highways plus mot
ors. Cars, boats and motors are help.
less without their highways. 1t is be.
cause we have more cars than roads,
more vehicles than places to use them
and because we need, must have, more
highways, and good highways, nation.
al highways, and good roads every
where, that 1907 newspapers have en-
rolled themselves in campaign OF
highway education which will newt
ably result in "a paved United States
in our day"

EMPLOYMENT TO 100000

american farmers would save more
than billion dollars in purchasing fer
tilizer during the next 100 years if the
Muscle Shoals nitrate plants are leas
ed by the government to Henry Ford,
according to a report submitted to the
house today by the committee on
military affairs.
The report was rendered by Repre-
sentative Mckenzie, Republican of Iii
nois, who sponsored the Ford Muscle
Shoals offer before the committee.
The majority of the committee is OPP
posed to government ownership, the
report stated, and concluded the pro
posal submitted by Henry Ford APP
preached more nearly the fuIfillment
of the intent of congress as expressed
in the national defense act than any
other offer.
Mckenzie said the Ford offer, con
sidered in detail would yield the gov
eminent S235,OO more annually than
the offer of the associated Southern
power companies, placing S345, 900, 000
in the federal treasury during the 100
years of the lease and saving the
farmers of the country $1,100,000,0 900

Trade-at-HOme Boosts
Gets Rise from Phelps
UNKNOWN WRITER GETS LOAD
OFF HIS OAHEsT, BUT WE'LL
CALL HIM


We received this week a letter from
Phelps, or at least bearing the Phelps
post mark, in which the writer claims
that in consequence of following the
advice frequently given in the Review,
to patronize home merchants and buy
at home, that he is unable to pay his
taxes this year and wants lis to see
if the home town merchants will
come to his rescue as he did theirs
during the past year.
In the first place, We'll say that
the name signed to the letter is not
on our subscription list, nor that Of
any one we have ever heard of at
Phelps. If he is reading the Review
at all, he is doing it at the expense of
some neighbor who pays us $500 a
year for the privilege, and that puts
him in the cheap skate list with us
His claim that the home merchants
have charged him so much in excess
of what he formerly paid mail order
houses, that he is unable to pay his
taxes. may not be the real cause Of
his financial shortage. For instances:
the widow lady with whom we board,
buys exclusively in Eagle River and
has for years. She is also among the
first dozen in town to pay her taxes
This year, with an extra levy of /
per cent she secured Receipt No. 1.
Without any idea as to who our .'col-
ored gentleman in the woodpiley cor
respondent may be, we are willing to
wager a small piece of change that
some of his neighbors can throw a
little light on his expenditures, that
he has not mentioned.
His request that some of the mer-
chants with whom he has dealt in
the last year come across and help
him out, as he has them; proves that
his gall is active in other ways than
in reading papers that he does not
help maintain. However, we'll take
him on that too II he will come to
Eagle River and bring a list of the
merchants with whom he has spent
money in 1928 and the approximate
amount spent with each, we hereby
guarantee that each and every one of
them will loan or donate to him $1,000
for every dollar that he can secure
from mail order houses to whom he
appeals.
We are extremely sorry that he and
his family had to miss the last county
fair because of lack of the. necessary
ticket money and hereafter when he
is in such unlucky circumstances if he
will notify the Review office one
week in advance of the fair, we will
see that himself and family get at
least one day there at no expense.
whatever to them.

C. f. Leins of West Bend, Wash

place among Wisconsin men who have
contributed in a large degree to the
success of the farmers of his county
by interesting them in the matter of
practical drainage to the extent that
many farms now produce more profit
ably and many acres that had for
years been considered of but little
value, now to the effects of tile drain
age, are the most profitable parts of
the county for agricultural purposes.
Mr. Leins is also known to some in
Eagle River as the father Of Mrs. L.
J. Klehne.
e. j. Mckinney of Barron county is
one of the men who have assisted in
making Barron county known as the
greatest creamery town in the world.

100 acres Of hardwood timber land
into a productive farm He has sue
