Cost of Extending Maple St. Would be Small-Action Monday Night WOODB RIDGE, July 21—Til· many false rumors floating about the township in connection with the planned improvement of extending Maple street to liigh street are fast being nailed as such. One of the ru mors which created considerable sensation was that conccrning the cost of this work. According to the rumors it would cost in the neigh borhood of $18,000, when in reality it would cost about $1,200. This small cost for the extension of the street .is due in a great extenfto the action of Arthur Dunham, the owner , of the property through which the street is to pass, in assuring those who are in favor of the street that 1 ho will sell the land necessary for the improvement to the township for exactly what he paid for it Not only has Mr. Dunham lei it be known that he is willing to seil the land at cost price but announces he is also willing to lay sidewalks from the present end of Maple street to High street at the sam? time the street is being extended. There seems to be much concert ed action in Woodbridge against this much improvement. Some υί til·· objectors do not even reside on Maple street, but have gone so far as to put petitions in circulation against the improvement, and from latest reports have engaged legal talent to represent them at the hearing. It is understood that some have formed the opinion that the cost of this improvement must be paid within a stated period, but from officials in the township it is learn c l that the assessment for work of this kind may be levied for a period of from seven to ten years, thus as suring no hardship to the property owners as far as the payment of the improvement is concerned.

Edwards Platform TRENTON, July 21:—Anyone who thinks prohibition is dead as a political issue would be disillusioned b> a talk with Edward I. Edwards, governor of New Jersey. Everybody knows Edwards is wet politically. Ho was elected gover nor on a wet platform, and he's juct as wet as over in his present fight to go to the United States senate to succeed Senator Frelinghuyeen. I And, if he gets to the senate, he promises to start something. Two things, in fact: First, legislation legalizing beer and light wine. Second, war on the Anti-Saloon League and kindred organizations. "The saloon has passed forever from America," he says, "and I am opposed to its retyrn. But I am in l'avor of modification of the Vol stead act to permit manufactura and sale of beer and light wines un der federal supervision, all manu facturing to be done under a pure fo..»d act. "If that cannot be done legally. Τ am iri favor of modification of the eighteenth amendment so that it can be done." Governor Edwards told ΝΕΑ Ser vice he believes prohibition modifi cation is inevitable. Explaining his! war on what he calls professional reformers, he says: Political lobbies and propaganda should be strictly regulated. The Anti-Saloon League maintans a pow erful lobby and secretly financed propaganda. Such an organization should be compelled to be incorpor ated and file a public accounting of where its money comes and how it is spent. "1 introduced such a bill into the New Jersey legislature and it was promptly squelched. Γη» going to do it again—aimer! at the Anti-Saloon League—if I get to the United States Controlling "pernicious lobbies," says Edwards, Is as Important as controlling campaign expenditures. And one of his platform planks Is "antl-Newberrylem." Others are re duction of Income taxes; control b\ tho states rather than the federal iovernment, of funde spent for public health, child hygiene, and public The main issue, however, is pro hibition. Qovernor Edwards calls it "the llvest thing that every hap pened." "I'm against the hypocritical sit uation that has been created," he says, "it's a deceit. Basically, the unrest in this country Is due to pro hibition. It has not reduced crime —but has Increased It. "Of course, I want It understood that I yield to no one In respect for law and Its enforcement. It is because I am convinced that public opinion makes it Impossible to en force many existing laws that I am determined to have them changed so as to make them possible of en forcement." Governor Edwards' friends are making considerable political capi tal out of that fact he Is politically wet and personally dry, while they charge that Senator Frellnghuysen is personally wet although he voted dry. "New Jersey." says Edwards, "is no wetter than other states. We're frank about It. though, and the oth ers are afraid to be."
