POLITICAL

BT7MK

In a three column article, a County tells the world Cape May County needs a AreFreeholder Board. Under the heading that the “Count* Is Bsr’ y Represented and is Clamor) og for Relief’ this newspaper says that the present Board of three members costs the County In salary 19000 a year, nd the County road and bridge su-

f It’s Hot in tite Times— T. Didn’t Happen"-

pervlsors coet another 95000, so If you vote for the five-man Board you will only have to pay |J£00 in salaries, and there will be no bridge

or road superviaor.

We have, in pur newspaper experience, encountered much political rot. but such an assinlne statement, to our knowledge, has never before ap-

peared In public print.

In the first place the three-man Board will automatically have the member's salaries reduced In 1925

ITS A

GREAT LIFE The tact that there has been an Increased output of automobllee, 1,200,000 more this year than last, leads an authority to predict that within a few years there will be an automobile for every man and womat la this country. Already In Call torn la. where there are more can than’in any other state, every fourth person la the owner of one. It la possible that the authority quoted above la mistaken. Some observant people are of the opinion that the automobile erase Is at Its height. The people are going too fast. Things are bound to crack. A Cape May County dealer was saying tha other day that the replacement proposition was getting to be a aerie us matter. Dealers cannot dlapose of can they take in trade. New sales are slow. If dealers Atop taking In old cars there is bound to be a Mg slump In the gntomobll#

Dealers are obliged to enrry notes of long time. The rsrecently that . out a lot of can W per oect. -of his

output

We heard of one man that bought a high-priced car who is working for 9125 a mouth. Of this obliged to pay out 187.60 on his automoMla every month. And It la quite safe to say that gas, oil. tlrsp end r*P*irs will sasll* take care of what's left of his wages. It'a a groat life if you don’t

weaken.

The TIMES's not given to the use of ita editorial columns for advertising. But considering this in the light of advertising, or any other way you will, we feel that the Shore Bus Service, which is now operating through Cape May County, ehould receive all the patronage that can possibly be given 1L Unfortunately for the bus Hue, and probably fortunately for us, this County is s county of auto owners, and most of our travel Is done In our

own motor cars.

But the establishment of a service that gives quick, direct Inter-com-muBlcatlon with the resorts ot th« County, and with Atlantic City, Is of great value to every busineee intsreet la the County, and deaervei

untied support.

Ti enapui lailoB brings population, sad population brings rdsl < valuau. The more we can encourage • raaaportatlou b* bus, rail or boat, tha better we are in every way.

FIT THE CRIME Complaint Is made that the law la too loose in New Jersey to curb recklose and drunken automobile drivers. Killings are on the Increase and the violations are getting more numerous all the time. There must be more drvstlc laws and more severe punishment or conditions will become still more appalling. How would this do for a remedyT asks the Washington (N. J.) Star: First offense—Reprimand and a ranting.

to 91500 a year each, making a total salary of 94600, as against 97500 for the five-man Board. The County has never been without a road superviaor. and would be in a bad way Indeed If it were'wlthout one. This hardworking individual, who is largely responsible for the roads of the County, receives the magnificent salary of 92000 per year for all ot his time. The Bridge Superviaor this year to a nqw office, and It, too, ooets the County 52000 a year. FOr this 92000 the County has had personal supervision of an able man to the County bridges, and these bridges have been kept oiled and in repair at a negligible cost. Th* bridges have all been pair ted, and are In better condition today than ever before. This has been accomplished at a cost of little more than half ot the maintenance of bridges In previous years, as proven by the fact that on the first of Octor ber there was a balance of 92O.000 In the bridge appropriation, pared with an overdraft La other

years.

To say that the fire-man Board would save the County money simply political propaganda, handed out to fool you. Mr. and Mr*. Voter. If the five-man Board can function cheaper than the three-man Board, the old fourteen-man Board should Lava oast the County nothing'at all, qr «**n returned a dividend! One thing to keep uppermost In mind is that WHETHER THE BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS IS THREE MEN OR FIVE MEN, THE SALARY WILL BE REDUCED IN 1925. And from the viewpoint of. soonomy, your eight-year-old boy can figuhe It out tor you that the Cpunty will auw« 92000 a y*ar In salaries by retaining the

small Board.
