I SPEND MONEY LIKE DRUNKEN SAILORS, CLARK CLAIMS (Continued from page one) street*. They are a menace to traffic No real man would go In them. Tou don’t need able bodied men to push that lever back and forth. Tou can go out to the poor house and get old men to do that. "We are extravagantly spending the people's money. Our record from January 1 shows we are In creasing the taxation Instead of keep Ing down expenses. Last fall we opposed tho appointment of ten ad ditional men to the police force. Now we should hesitate before spending money right and left as there is no need for It. The Initial cost is practically nothing, but it is Ihe upkeep that is the big Item. This year- tax rate Is thirty-one points higher than last year. Of course this Is not all our fault, but some of It Is." Chairman Galvin, taking excep tion to Alderman Clark’s charges that he would he going b..ck on his word if he favors the purchase of an additional motorcycle, replied that In his opinion the pyllce de partment does need another motor cycle and that Its purchase would not be a waste of money. “Do you know of anything that we have done which would tend .« boost the tax rate rather than keep it down?” the chairman asked Mr. Dark "Ypi " rAnllPit thd flflh nrarA alderman, "you increased the police appropriation $12,000 which was not necessary." "I disagree with you there,” the chairman replied. "The additional police appropriation was necessary. Although we may not — have favored additional members be ing added to the force last year it Is our duty to properly equip them and give them tools with which to work now that they are on the force.” Alderman Albert G. Waters, chair man of the police committee, taking the floor, opened his remarks by saying that "I am glad I have the courage to reserve a few of my re marks.” The second ward alderman then explained that the 1922 budget was prepared by the old Kepublican board and there were a lew ehert accounts. "As for the $12 001) addi tional police appropriation,” Mr. Waters said, ”1 am running within my original allotment, with lour months of the year gone, and no doubt there will bo a considerable portion of the $12,000 left at the end of the year There may be one third. one-half, two-thirds or three quarters of the $12,000 left as an unexocnded balance, I cannot tell at present. "Mr. Clark might well look to his own committee's finances," Alderman Waters continued. "As chairman of the judiciary committee he had $22, 000 alloted him for the year. He now has only about $4,000 left out of this amount to last him the re mainder of the year, which is only one-third gone." Alderman Waters then spoke in favor of an additional motorcycle as a means of preventing accidents and also to patrol the streets "A motor cycle officer.” he said, "is more feared than three ordinary police men and one can do the work of fve officers who are on foot. As 1UI me niiamii'o u to nut in; initn tlon to put able bodied men In glass houses. The traffic booths prevent accidents and protect human life much better than an officer with a whistle. When traffic is halted pe destrians have an opportunity to cross ip. safety. I have given this matter serious study and find that automobile drivers respect the booths. On rainy or cold days our traffic men can often be found standing along side of a building in stead of on their post in the middle ot the street. A booth protects them. I promise you I will make a good showing this year and will do so without overrunning my account." In reply to Alderman Waters' reference to Alderman Clark's ac count being almost exhausted, the fifth ward alderman replied: “Who has control of the contingent ac count? Not I any more than the man in the moon. It is the board ns a whole and not the chairman who is responsible. "You're spending money like a lot of drunken sailors. You are spend ing thousands of dollars for some thing worth a few hundred.” Alderman Robert A. McGuire rais ed the question of what bills are charged to the contingent account. He said he did not want to increase taxes and was not aware that the board was spending a sufficient amount to cause any great change. His question was not answered. "Any time that we spend 12000 for anything worth 1200, Mr. Clark must be asleep." Alderman Waters de clared. "Early this year you (Mr. Clark) requested that shanty be built under the Lehigh Valley bridge." "At the request ot your chairman T brought this matter up." answered Mr. Clark. “I had nothing to do with it. but was asked to write it under the Judiciary head." "That was purely a police matter, why was it up to you as chairman of the judiciary committee to draw up tho resolution?" asked Mr. Wa ters. Alderman Clark shrugged his shoulders and replied. "I did it be cause the chairman asked me to." "Don't you think it was a good In vestment?" asked Chairman Galvin. "I do. It was a very good one,” the fifth ward alderman answered. This concluded the remarks on the question and the vote on the resolu tion to purchase an additional mo torcycle was called for. All of the members of the board voted “aye" with the exception of Alderman Plorlr who p mnhntirallv Haiti "no" and added that "this is great cam paign stuff for the Republicans.” The resolution passed and the addi tional motorcycle will be purchased despite Alderman Clark's persistent apposition. THE WRONG MR. VEREB Through a misunderstanding in the sheriff's office papers were drawn up against the wrong person in the case of the First National Bank of this city against John N. Vereb. Jr. It was a mistake to have connected John N. Vereb, of Amboy avenue and Albert street, Woodbridge, with th* matter at all. The Mr. Vereb who lives in Woodbridge is in no way involved. The case is against John N. Vereb, Jr., of 607 State street, Perth Amboy. The suit is over several notes which the bank holds.

As yet the committee In charge of the drive does not know the exact amount of money contributed, due to a great extent to the failure of some of the captains to report the work of the.'r teams. It is expected that the checking up process will show the committee just how much of the quota has been raised and the necessity of perhaps making further canvass in certain sections of the city. The efforts put forth by the wo men and firemen In the sale of lags resulted in $771.3$ being collected on the streets. In banks and theatres This sum lias greatly swelled the amount and other contributions which are expected will bring the fund considerably nearer the quota of $5,500 nlloted to the city.

THINK TUTTLEir OF GOVERNOR RAGE (Continued from page 1) There may or may not be some significance to the high praise which Governor. Edwards' showered upon Circuit Court Judge Ralph W. Donges. of Camden county, when the governor made several talks in Camden county the other night. Judge Donges has been put forward by Democratic Committeeman Ed ward J. Kelleher as a good South Jersey "bet" to tie up with the Ed wards' candidacy for senator from North Jersey. Mr. Donges' boom has been received with considerable in teiest. The governor said in his Camden speeches that he would l*e pleased to have the circuit court judge as a running mate this fall. Tne fact that Donges comes from such a Republican stronghold as Camden is offset, in the opinion of his friends, by their belief that he would cut down the South Jersey Republican vote. As elements of his strength they point to his war rec ord. the fact that he was president of the Public Utility Commission un til he resigned to get into the army, that he has been the supreme dic tator of the Loyal Order of Moose and is able to make a forceful cam paign on the stump. Two prominent Democratic guber natorial possibilities. Circuit Court Judge Silzer. of Middlesex, and Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly, of Trenton, are just now recuperating from very serious operations and will not be heard from for some; days to come Judge Silzer is in a New Brunswick hospital and Mayor Donnelly is in Rochester, Minn., where he went for treatment at the sanatorium of the famous Mayo Brothers, surgeons. The fued between Governor Ed wards, Democrat, and Senator Food er, Republican, of Gloucester, over the Gloucester county judge and prosecutorshlp, which started at the recent session of the legislature, was renewed here today when the sen ate met. It has been charged that Kooder wants to block all Democra tic appointments for the full term so that the Republicans can get the two jobs next year If a Republican is elected governor. This is regarded in some circles, especially by Demo crats, as "cheap politics,” on the ground that the administration now is Democratic and is entitled to the offices coming under its appoint ment. There are so few Democratic law yers in Cape May that it may be Mr. Edwards will pick one from another South Jersey county for the proso cutorship there. Whether this will be approved in Cape May is a ques tion, as it is known some of the natives down there have said they do not want any "foreigner.” Probe Shooting of Boy TRENTON, May 2.—Coroner Howard White, of Bucks county.
