FRIDAY, APRIL 10. 1903. At their last meeting the Board of Aldermen took favorable action on the petition of property owners along Smith'street to pave that thorough fare between High street and the Central railroad with asphalt. As jj Jo as been pointed out in the Evening News, asphalt has been fonnd to be very unsatisfactory in a great major - lty of cities when used for paving a business thoroughfare. Its longest life is but ten years even when put down on a concrete foundation. Onlv the proDerty owners feel the real burden now, but when the pavement begins to need repairs it will dig deep holes in the city's treasury. But the kind of material is not the Only objection to the present move ment to pave Smith street. The peti tion proposes to make a patchwork of the improvement. What is the object of stopping the pavement at High street. Are the business men east of that thoroughfare to suffer? The Evening News advocates pave ments everywhere and at all times, rut we cannot approvcg|pf any such 'J^*\iith st id t stopping point if the oitizens are not prepared to pave to the city line, but there is no reason for stopping the improvement at High street. If only part of the thoroughfare is paved with asphalt at this time it is very likely that the two remaining blocks between High street and the hill will be cover ed with some other material which is decidedly objectionable. The Evening News advocates granite block from the ferry house at the foot of the hill to the city line on the west and the same material for State street from Smith street to Woodbridge creek. That is the best wearing material and gives the most general satisfaction to those who have to handle teams. Rather than see asphalt go down on Smith street, however, we would ad vocate brick. Tnis would at least' hare a uniform appearance with the hill which is already paved with that material. Let the aldermen consider well before they proceed further. They should at least insist upon the paving being done right if it is to be done at all. The sinking of the steam canal boat at the Lehigh Valley dooks'should re ceive more than a passing notice by the authorities. If the vessel is as rotten as she is reported, she shonld have been condemned long ago. The Central Railroad of New Jersey has been severely censured for running engines on their road which are de clared to be oat of repair and unsafe, bat no one seems to have the author ity to censure a towage company which keeps rotten boats in commis sion. If anyone can be broueht to aocount for the loss of the two lives in the sinking of the steamer at the docks, the authorites should lose no time doing it. Perhaps Coroner Henry, after an investigation, will fix the responsibility. How is this? Coal at New Bruns wick is selling for $5.76 a ton retail; at Bayonne it is 15.50 a ton, while at Perth Amboy, one of the largest coal shipping [ports along the Atlantic coast, the people are forced tc pay $6 a ton. Something seems to be out of gear somewhere. Those newspapers whioh have been congratulating the State that the Leg- j islatnre had adjourned will now have the fun of doing it all over again. Trenton spent $226.08 in making re pairs to her paved streets last year and $10,048.79 in repairing unpaved streets. Paving is a good investment for a city in more than one wav. EDITORIAL COMMENT. If Perth Amboy wants to name the next Senator of Middlesex County, as one of it newspapers intimated the other day, she had better get busy . right away. The field is filling up! fast up here. The Democrats of the county might do worse than name young Mr. Gannon, who has made a 1 eood record at Trenton as Assembly- 1 man. He was handicapped because; he was in the minority and the major ity didn't let him do anything bril liant if they could heln it. As it was, however, he more than satisfied his friend*. --New Brunswiok Home News. The Middlesex county politicians are trying to find out what the ap pointment of Senator Strong to the State Board of Assessors means. Some j , of them figure it out that it indicates ' ; that Robert Carson will nominate and elect a Senator who will vote for John Kean in 1905, while others think the I move was made to leconcile party ; differences and make sure of a Repub- 1 lican Senator next fall. There seems to be a general agreement that Sena- ; tor StroiiB would have been defeated for re-election because of his interfer ence in the county chairmanship fight recently.? Trenton Times.
