SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1903.
The need of a Smith street sewer
was never more manifested than dur
ing yesterday’s storm. With the
water rising until it was; level across
the street, making a miniature river
between the curbs, it is time some
thing was done and that as quickly as
possible. It is only a wonder that
suoh a condition of affairs has been
allowed to remain so long without
some effort to remedy it. The entire
city demands something to carry off
the water in its principal thorough
fare and no protests or remonstrances
should be allowed to stop the work.
It is a public necessity and should be
met.
The condition under the Lehigh
Valley bridge is another matter de
manding public attention. The aider
men have done something to relieve
this low place in the street, but it is
due the people of North Amboy that
the street be kept open at all times.
The rain during the last storm was
very unusual and will not occur often,
but even an ordinary rain floods that
on of State street. The State
; sewer now being built will re
to a certain ext
Hi ciyLrJL pff muc
i water v^iich kflows down
from the Hall avenue section. It is
hardly probable that this will relieve
the pond that forms under the bridges
during every storm, however. The
street was dug out so as to make a
clearance for the trolley cars and this
forms a basin to catch the drainage
from all directions. It is due the
people o f North Amboy that ;some
system is devised to relieve this en
tirely.
There is no doubt but that the city
Bhould have the Westminster if for no
other reason than its historical value.
* but there are many other reasons why
the whole property should be secured
for a park. One of these is that it is
the most desirable tract of land within
easy reach of the people. It is a
mistake to consider it too far away
from those who most need a park. It
isjas'central as any one tract could be.
With a park in North Amboy it
would be just as far out ot the wayjfor
the great population living south of
Washington street. If these people go
out for a walk today they would pre
fer to go toward the water than to
Hall avenue. If they have guests to
entertain they will go toward the
Westminster. As for a park in the
direct center of the city, the time has
passed when enough land can be se
cured.
The purchase of the Westminster
property as a whole would be an ex
cellent investment and one that would
increase in value every year. The
city owos it to the citizens to get this
tract for recreation. It has a State
street entrance which brings it within
easy touch of almost the entire city.
It is central, it is large enough for
the present needs and it is by far the
most desirable.
Such an accident as happened at the
Smith street crossing Thursday night
is liable to occur anv time while grade
crossings are allowed. Safety gates
and derailing switches are excellent
as far as they go and no crossing at
grade should be without them, but
even these cannot prevent" accidents.
With elevated tracks ,it would be a
person’s own fault if he should be
struck. He.should keep off the eleva
tion. Perfli Amboy will a.oVhfsid'ie
fied utttm there is not a grade crossing
in tire city.
rWhile there has been talk of eleva
tion in Perth Amboy it will be sever
al years before this can be accomplish
ed. In the meantime more accidents
may take place and probably loss of
life. The danger of this is greater at
the Smith street crossing at night
when the gate tender has left. It
would seem that the growth of Perth
Amboy is sufficient to have more
attention from the railroad companies
in this regard. The traffic which
crosses the Central railroad at Smith
street, has greatly increased since the
gates were placed there. This is par
ticularly so at night and it would
seem that a man should be on duty at
the crossing until midnight at least.
Some protection should be afforded
the public.
The rain will give Street Commis
sioner Weirup a chance to clean some
of onr paved streets with the sweeper.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Political booms and boomlets were
aired and sunned at the Inter-State
Fair. There was every outward indi
cation of a love feast in “Politician’s
Row,” yet they do say that long and
sharp knives were concealed up sever
al sleeves.—Camden Post-Telegram.
We think that it may be said that
the Trusts will not be so important a
factor in the coming elections as they
were in the last. The most of them
are selling good securities to cover
their own “shorts” in the money
markets, and will not have ns much
money as usual to spend in politics.—
Trenton True American.

** T regard your pills as a godsend. I
could not make a business engagement
without the proviso, ‘ unless I have sick
headache.’ Now my health is excellent,
and all from the use of Dr. Deane’s Dyspep

of Richmond, Va., a prominent lawyer.
Dr. Deane’s Dyspepsia Pills are a sure
cure for sick headache and indigestion.
Why not try them? At druggists’, 25c.,
