These improvements would | be a great boon to many mechanics and 1 1 laborers if it wa- possible to start the work at this time instead of waiting ; ( until the spring w hen all workmen of i ( this community will be busy with the ] ^ general run Li work. M hen tlK- gpeci- i . fications fo/ these contracts are drawn j the cngineer~^di.nild la- instructed to j ^ insert a clause" wjh.-r.-bv it would become necessary to awVyl the work to a resi- ^

dent of this city who is willing to employ Cape May mechanics and laborers, and purchase all materials possible Of Cape May merchants. 9 Contracts awarded under conditions of this sort would not la- an excuse altogether. as the gn-ater proportion of the $86.<iuo would remain in the eitv. and be divided' in one way or another with When contract* are awarded to out of town people, the amount of money left in the town amounts to a trifle. NO CONSTITUTION TINKERING WANTED Senator Hennessey, of Hudson County. has introduced a concurrent resolution which would make it easier to amend the State Constitution. Now. aTter a [ft posad amendment is defeated., it cannot 1>V resubmitted for five years. ' Under Hennessey's proposed amend- 1 ment this time is reduced to one year J It is to be hoped that the Hennessey j proposal may get no further. The NewJersey constitution is much better left alone than amended and if it were, possible to resubmit proposed amendments every year, there would be always a probability and a dangcg-Hiat by some hocus pocus obnoxious on. s would be pushed through in spite of the people, just as there is every reason to believe, candidates for governor have been declared, elected, when really dcffated, the manipulation of the returns in the populous counties making Hi — COUNTY COUNCIL OF HOUSEHOLD ARTS MEETS The third regular meeting of the I County Council for the promotion of j Household Arts occurred at the nOVc j of the county superintendent of schools on Thursday afternoon: Despite unfavorable weather conditions, seventeen delegates representing nearly all sections of the county, were pr.-sent. a ml lira.
