GCTTIXG MORE GAS
Officials of the Perth Ainboy Gas
Light Company got at the very root
of the trouble with tho gas in th I:
city at the hearing before the Public
Utility Commission yesterday wl'.ci
they said that it was due to the ex
tensive growth of the city compared
with the load of gus. In short, the
gas company has not kept abreasl
■with the demand. It has not grown
along with the city. It has not beer
putting enough of its profits back
Into Its plant so as to give the people
adéquate service.
But in enlarging its plant for in
creasing the supply of gas for thle
city, a site less objectiouable than
the southern end of High street
should be selected. The gas plant
located where it is, is a nuisance
The city has already bought propertj
on both sides of it for park purposes
Besides, tho southern end of Higt
street is one of the most desirabli
residential sections of the city. Th<
aim of the city should be to have th<
present plant moved front Its preseni
location rather than have it enlarged
It would be a great detriment to th(
city to have any such container a!
was mentioned nt the hearing jester
day erected on this site. The cits
needs a better supply of gas. and tf
get it the gas plant must be enlarged
but the city as a whole must havt
consideration in other directions a!
well as the gas supply. The gai
company owes something to the citj
where It enjoys a monopoly protectee
by the Public Utility Commission it
self.
Why cannot all the gas supplied t<
Perth Amboy and vicinity be brough
from one central plant at Elizabeth'
There the gas plant is on the out
skirts of the cify where It is not n(
objectionable. The Public Servir
serves a wide area from a slngli
plant, the plant at Camden furnish
tng gas for all South Jersey. As tlx
Elizabeth gas company and the Pertl
Amboy gas company are practical!;
the sume corporation, some such ar
rangement could easily be made
much to the economical advantage ο
the company, it would seem.
Perth Amboy certainly needs ai
Increased supply of gas, but in ordei
to get it, it ought not lo be lieccRsar;
to further mar tho finest residentia
section of the city. Property in th<
Ylcinity of the gas works is greatlj
depreciated *^" cause, of the nuisance
What land the gas company owns 11
its present location could easily b<
disposed of at a higli price once thi
gas works are removed. Let's havt
more gas. but let's help beautify an·
improve the city at the same time.
RTATKW IST AM) AND JKIISEY
Nuw York is becoming alarmed a
the growing restlessness of tlie Statei
Islanders. The metropolis sees a ten
dency on the part of Staten Islant
to draw closer to New Jersey am
away from New York. It is admitted
that, geographically, Staten Island ι
more New Jersey than it is Ne ν
York, and there la reason to believ*
that, politically, the island would bi
a great deal better off If it were i
part of this state instead of being j
more adjunct to New York to l>e usee
as a garbage dump for the greate
city,
Jt is notorious that Staten Islam
has long been ignored by New York
and treated with the utmost indifter
«nee. It is not surprising, therefore
that we find Staten Island inclined U
throw its influence to the side ο
New Jersey in the freight rat
problem in regard to lighterage ι
the harbor. When New York cit;
wanted to establish a municipa
garbage plant on Staten Island, tin
Island «-it' appealed to New Jerse;
cities to aid them. In other instance
what has been Htaten Island's inter
est has been New Jersey's interest
No wonder, then, that the island :
growing closer in its affiliation wit!
this slate.
For years, while New York ha
been improving her rapid transi
facilities Htaten Island has bee
Ignored. The long looked for tunnc
affording direct connection wit
Manhattan has never materializec
It look» now as if the logical rout
for such a tunnel would be under tli
Kill von Kull to iiayonne and thenc
another tunnul under the Iludso
river to Manhattan. Whatever i
done, nothing can stop the tendenc
of Staten Island to hitch up with Nc
Jersey. It is one of those natur:
forces that is bvyond the power <
man to control.
Our readers will doubtless notlc
that the Κ YEN IN G NEWS is econ<
znizing In space in every way poss
ble. The reason can be readily ui
derstood when it Is knovvn that tl
cost of print paper has increased 3<
per c^nt. over last year's contrac
Naturally, space becomes exceeding
valuable and every quarter of an lnc
counts. It will be noticed, howeve
that in saving space we are publisl
lag just as much news as ever on
using less room to tell it in. If 01
friends who favor us with commun
cations foi* publication will kind
bear in mind the value of space ai
make their letters as short as pose
We, it will be greatly appreciated
As If it wore not enough to liavc to
face a famine In print paper, which,
because of the high prices or no sup
ply at any price, more than 100
publishers have been forced out of
business during the past few months,
along conies the post ο Rice depart
ment with a recommendation to
greatly Increase the postal rates on
all second class matter, including
newspapers and magazines, which
would tend to drivo the publications
out of the mails.
The dying congress is about to im
pose a $30,000,000 grab upon the
country in the form of a public
building bill. It Is the last cry for
"pork." Judging from the way the
present congressmen have beon fed
since they have been in ofllce, It
would seem as if they might at least
let the sixty-fourth congress pass out
of existence without this parting out
rage.
Some of the carols that the school
' children are learning to sing for
Christmas this year contain such
laudable sentiments as, "AH is peace
on earth today." It seemed like a.
mockery at first, but In the light of
recent events It may be not so far
wrong after all, although a little pre
mature.
The dove of peace lias been let
loose. It remains to be seen whether
it will return with an olive branch.
Public Opinion
THK C ITY BUDOKT
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
I was very much surprised when
your newspaper published the pro
posed budget for 1917, that the
amount of money required was no
higher than for J016, in spite of the
fact that η earl y all city employes, in
cluding the police, will be getting in
creased pay, and every Item required
to properly maintain a city has in
creased enormously In price, to say
nothing of our increase in population
and activity, and the proportionately
larger amount of money required to
take care of this.
I was Interested also In your edi
torial comment stating that this was
a true budget, with one or two minor
exceptions, and all of the statements
together, and your news item in this
1 evening's issue stating that the city
is unable to pay to two contractors
about $10,000 for work already done,
and can find no legal way to raiso the
money to pay them, aroused my
nateral curiosity, and started me on
an examination of the budget to sat
isfy this curiosity. 1 wondered how
it can be done.
I began to question some men who
know, or ought to know something
about the city's financial standing,
and found several things that I would
certainly be interested in having ex
plained. Some of the things I learn
ed surprised me.
I find that our city has a bonded
debt of more than two million dol
lars, whereas the legal limit now is
$400,000 less than that amount. Thus
it appears that Ave cannot legally is
sue any more bonds tor any im
provements except schools or water
works until we have paid off nearly
a half million of the bonds already
outstanding.
Then I examine the budget to see
what provision is being made to pay
bonds maturing next year and find
one item of $3,000, whereas the
amount of maturing laotitis is over
$30,000. What will be done when
these bonds are presented for re
demption ?
ι ji«A>v αι«α>,> uiiucimouu ιπαι a cer
tain amount was to be placed in tho
sinking fund each year to take care of
maturing bonds. It seems good busi
ness to me, that when a twenty year
bond is issued, one-twentieth of the
amount should be set aside each year
to pay that bond when it is due.
I believe a law requires cities to set
aside an amount equaling 2 per cent, of
tho bond issue each year for this pur
pose. Two per cent, of our outstand
ing bonds I am told would amount to
.about $30,00u, and 2 per cent, is by no
means as much as good business would
require.
I fail to find in the budget where this
$30,000 is coming from.
If my information or figure* are in
correct I would indeed like to be set
right on them, hut if they ure correct
it would appear that the present ad
ministration is shirking responsibilities
which they should assume.
If we do not intend to redeem our
bonds, why issue them: and if we do
intend to redeem them why not pay
this year's share this year?
Does it not appear thai the present
administration is "passing the buck" to
the future ones?
As far as I can learn there is a mat
ter of nearly $60,000 that should be
provided for that is ignored.
It seems to have been the custom of
late years for each administration, in
its ardor to keep the tax rate low and
make political capital of it, to forget
the maturing bonds and the sinking
fund, and pass those little troubles
along to the next one. They invariably
say at the first of the year that they
will take care of those items in tho
m id-year budget, aud they invariably
ι neglect I ο do it because nobody takes
much notice of tho mid-year budget.
I am told that tho city's sinking
fund will be cleaned out by the pay
ment of a debt due in January.
It is not my purpose to defend any
previous administration, because mosi
of them are indefensible, but it doei
not seem right, just, or reasonable foi
one to "pass the buck" because th«
last one passed it to them. If this 1*
continued the city will be pressed intc
bankruptcy eventually, and the unfor
tunates in office at that time will have
to make the best of bad jobs bel ni
done now.
Tt Is time we had a board of alder
men with courage enough to star
right, and in Wieir next campaign le
them point to a fat sinking fund as a τ
argument for re-election rather than m
ow tax rate and an array of figure
that deceive nobody who studys them.
The sinking fund appropriation h
the proposed budget covers lnteres
falling due in 1917 only, and it is τη;
opinion that the finances of a city al
ready bonded about $4 00 000 beyon<
the legal limit is not a thing to b
monkeyed with in this manner.
Mv curiosity will persist until tha
wonderful budget, that will buy mor
and higher priced things for the sain
amount than was ever done before, 1
explained by some one who know
more than anyone I have been able t
find.
Does anyone else feel that wa
about it?
Yours truly.
