The New Year meeting may be
over and the now councilmcn may
Jiave taken their seats but the conferences
are not over. At one of j
them this week, one of the new
councilmen put up a Stiff fight for
an appointment he wanted.

We hope during the year 1938 we
won't have to spend so much time
investigating things that disappear
from City Hall and the adjoining
grounds. Now about those Christmas

from the tree at City Hall grounds.

Taxpayers Group
Urges Elimination Of
Dedicated State Funds
Wants Reorganization of Motor
Vericlc Department
Tn Its plutfoim for 1938, the New
Jersey Taxpayers Association urged
the- elimination of all dedicated
.state funds, proposed) that motor
vehicle moneys be considered general
revenues and advocated "diversion
of these revenues for relief ne
cessities, rather than any imposition
of new taxes."
The Associations' statement was
the first definite public position
taken this year by any organized
group urging that, if relief necessities
still exist, diversion of highway
revenues for relief purposes be
continued in 1938, instead of the
passage of new state taxes.
"We urge action on the recommendations
of the Princeton survey
with . respect to reorganization of
the State Motor Vehicle Department
and re-issuance of drivers' licenses,
vehicle registrations and plates by
mail," read the association's 1938
declaration.
"Pro - dedicated funds (except
debt service upon existing bond issues)
should be eliminated and public
revenues from all sources should
be paid into the treasury of the
state and distributed under regular
But then it's surprising things appropriations." continued the As-
platform.

One of the unusual sights about

Christmas morning was a I tlon s P'a"orm urged consideration

" of tapering off this
an upper George Street residence.
The story behind the discarded
tree on Christmas morning is that
visitors came in while the lady of
the house was away and thought
the Christmas tree, standing, there
waiting to be decorated should be
white instead of the traditional
green and proceeded to change it's
color but the color came off anc
she had to throw it away.
Before her marriage the woman
would probably have raised Cain
about a thing like that.

There seems to be ample grounds
for a suspicion that a blonde owner
of a tavern in a community south
of this city of ours is seriously
considering entering the service station
business. She's seen around
local station frequently with a look
of keen interest on her face.

There is evidently parential objection

Hshtown section walked past the
house with a "come on out kid" look
on his face, then passed tho house
again and out came the girl running
after him, buttoning up her

The other night a local lad had
the unsolicited honor of being the
highest High School student in
town. Some of the other High
School students got irked over his
high minded conversation and
thought it was high time they did
something about it, so they hung
him up on a tavern sign and let lilm >
stay there a little while.

It must be thrilling to bo a politician
in this town and sot into confen-iics,
you never know what will
be the 'opic of li'scussio.i
Por Instance, there was one held
recently when they investigated the
disappearance of several pounds of
tea. You can bet all the tea in China
however, that the wrong person was
accused of the purchase and disappearance
of the tea, in South Amboy.

There will be a meeting of the
First Aid and Safety Squad next
week, when the final vote on hy-lawF
will come up and what action a
member who appeals to have a
Democratic-Republican complex will
take, is a matter of conjecture.
Tho matter came up for action tit
two previous meetings, and one time
ho voted "Yes." and the other time
he voted "No," so no one can figure
out what he will vote the next time
.. the matter clbnes up, or whether he

"the impression which may exist
that time has ripened relief into ai
fixed, over-enlarging and permanent 1
pension system." The platform!
urged, however, "every effort to re- [
lieve distress resulting from unem- i
ployment." !
The association's 1D38 platform, as
outlined in the platform, includes
advocacy of biennial legislative ses-!
sions, and state reorganization. The J
platform has this to say on the sub- j
ject of mandatory pay laws: j
"We favor the permanent repeal,
of all mandatory laws affecting the:
employment and compensation of I
municipal, county or school employees,
subject nevertheless to the provisions
of the civil service or tenure
of office laws."
The association advocates rigid :
budget control and supervision of ]
municipal finances. On the subject
of pensions, the platform states:
"We support the recommendation
program of the New Jersey Pension
Survey Commission recommending;
that the contribution of the public
to pension funds shall be limited to
15 per cent of the active payroll.
"Wo favor limitation of municipal
police and firemen's lining ass
to thirty-five years to prevent unv.inldly
pension requirements." j
Tho taxpayers' group is developing!
n'nns for a very virosous campaign i
vainst new state taxation during!
1038 and will support a j
for state reorganization.
