The estimated cost of the collecting sewer, chlorine house and contact tank with outfall for WoodbridKe Township is $55,000.00."
This statement was made in a report to the Port Raritan District Commissions by Engineers Reming- ton VoBbury and Goff, of Camden, New Jersey in "Methods for the Abatement of th« Pollution of the Raritan River" on July 1,1930. Yet the Township of Woodbridge, through the Township committee is ma- king plans with its consulting engineer, Louis P. Booz, Jr., to spend ?180,000 for the same sewer disposal plant. Why it is necessary to spend $126,000 addi- tional ?
The Camden engineers gave their report to Rus- sell E. WaUon, chairman of the commission, after studying the population growth, the flow of the riv- er and the amount of the pollution therein. To use their own words:
"In addition we have made wchaugtive investiga- tion^, coveriiig the possibility of collecting and dis- posing of the wasted by means of a tiilnk sewer on one hand and by seperate sewage treatment plants on the other. Numerous conferences have been held with the officials of the New Jersey State (Department of Health; the members of your Board and with coun- ty and municipal officials. It is with the information thus gained that we have endeavored to formulate the most economical and adequate solution to the problem of waste disposal now enfronting the low- er Raritan Valley."
After "exhaustive investigations," the engineers found it necessary for Woodbridge to spend $55,000 . for its sewage disposal plant. It is hard to understand why the Greiner administration deems it expedient to use the words of one of its own members, "to spend between $180,000 to $200,000."
In discussing the Woodbridge Township prob- lem, the 1930 report, which was published in book form, reads as follows:
"As part of Woodbridge Township drains into the Raritan River. This section is divided into four drainage areas, each one being served by a spearate primary treatment plant with an outfall sewer to the nearest water course. These plants should be used for this section to their full capacity. Provisions should be mad@ for cholrinating the effluent and for extending the outfalls to the Raritan River. As shown on Plate III (a map of the township) it is proposed to con- . struct one chlorine house and contact tank for the four plants with an outfall collecting 'sewer. The chlorine unit would be installed near the river and the effluent pipe extended for some distance into the water.
"Practically the only operating cost is the cost of chlorine which i& estimated per year as $600.
It is understood that the plan now being worked on by Booa will coat several hundred dollars more per year for upkeep than originally estimated,
Although the PWA has turned down the project ftr Woodbridge, there it nothing to prevent the township for setting up a WPA project for laying the aewer lines. In that manner the Township could get a tyrge proportion of the labor costs and 15 per cent tit the labor costs for materials. It might be necessary to use skilled labor for the construction of the tanks and it would then be advisable to put out that part of the job on contract. Even the fact that the Township would have free labor taking that factor into consid- eration, should not make the costs more than the Original estimate of $55,000, which amount should include the purchase of right of ways.
Why a consulting engineer was needed is also somewhat hard to understand. Back in 1930, a survey was made of all the lands of the vicinity and the maps are, or should be, in the Memorial Municipal build- ing. C. R. Davis, present Township Engineer, was em- ployed in the engineer's office when the survey and maps were made.

To Our Customers:
We are supplying gas to your home. You, in your home, are entitled to the convenience and comfort of using gas at a fair cost.
A new schedule of rates, ef- fective June 1,1937, which is being filed with the Board of Public Utility Commissioners of New Jersey, will now make tliis possible.
The present cost of gas is $1.30 per thousand cubic feet of gas, regardless of the amount of gas used. This prevents many of you from taking ad-
vantage of the use of gas for other than cooking.
In respect to convenience and economy, gas has no su- perior for cooking, water heat- ing and refrigeration. Under this proposed more modern rate, the average family may not only cook with gas, but can heat water with gas, refriger- ate with gas, and the cost of operating all of these necessi- ties can be as low as six dol- lars a month. This not only means greater convenience, but compares most favorably with the cost of other fuels used for these purposes.

Woodbridge Welcomes Hungarians Woodbridge
July 5 whe,n the will play host to over 8,000 visitors on Third Annual Hungarian Roman and
Greek Catholic Day will be held here. High church digni- taries and men and women prominent in social and politi- cal circles in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
- will take part in the celebration. The Township of Woodbridge considers it a great
Dr to be selected as the place for the annual conference and will do all in its power to make the visit an enjoyable one for the thousands of guests.
Towwhip School Bands . Tonight, the Township School bands, including the
Woodbridge the various steps in the teaching and ad- cert at the Woodbridge High School auditorium. Through the Junior, Intermediate and Senior bands, the bandmast- er, Theodore Hoops, will endeavor to show the people of Woodbridge, the various steps in the teaching and ad- vancement of music through the school years.
The citizens of the Township should attend the con- cert for several reasons, but mainly because they are in- terested in the welfare of the children^and because they wish to lend their encouragment to the studeats. Incident-
f t ' ly, the small admission charge will help pay the coat of the uniforms of the High School band, one of the best musical unita of its kind in the State of New Jersey.
The school system, through its Bandmaster, has in- stilled the love of music in the youngsters. l*t!» show them that the adults too know how to enjoy music. Remember those lines from Shakespeare?—"The maji that hath not music in himself, and is not moved with the concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and s; let no man trust him."

Our Century Leads in War After a study of social and cultural movements of the
last twenty-five hundred years, including an analysis of 902 wars and 1,616 internal disturbances, Prof. Pitirim A, Sorokin reports that the war index for the first quarter of the twentieth century reach "a total eight times greater than of the preceding centuries,"
Aided in his study by a score of American and Europ- ean scholars, the professor concludes that the average man of the thirteenth century had 6,500 more chances to die peacefully in bed than has his descendants'in the twenti- eth century. He also concludes that the world crisis today IB neither purely economic nor political but is due to de- cay in the culture that has dominated Western civilization for five hundred years. He reports that the present genera- tion has revolted against tradition in art, literature, philo- sophy and religion, in war and revolution and even in the field of science.
Significantly, he discovers that transitory periods bring notable increase of war activity, that the popular be- lief that war will disappear with the development of civ- ilization is unsupported by faqte and that periods of great- est socio-eultural, political and economic blokoming co- incide with the maximum belligerent activities of nations.

The Golden Text is: "They that are Inth* flesh cannot please God. But y» are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you." (Romans 8: 8,9).
Among the citations which com- prise the Lesson-Sermon is the lol lowing from the Bible: "Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we our selves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture." (Psalms 100: 3).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ- es the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Immortal man was and is God's image or idea, eyen the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and imnufttal man is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind. He has been forever in the eternal Mind, God; but infinite Mind can never be in man, but is reflected by man Tlie spiritual man's consciousness and individuality are reflections of God" (p. 336.)

Many of these women died be- cause, they and their husbands, thought that having a baby was a matter that would take care of it- self; with medical and nursing care delayed until the last moment. The Maternity Center AssociaUon, which sponsors a "Mother's Day" Campaign to save lives of mothers bas proved statistically that wherever early and continuous care has been given large groups of mothers, the death rate has dropped one-half.>
Primarily the responsibility res*s upon the parents. It is often through ignorance that the care of the mother is neglected. Today, mostoarents are aware of the im- portance of a complete examina- tion by a physician as soon as a baby is expected, with medical su-

According to Mrs. Boos, the "self-appointed leaders", appointed Mrs. Carrie Mun- dy to a municipal relief position, over the head of the woman's unit and without any consultation with the women whom they promised to take into considera- tion.

case of the Old Age Benefits Tax This tax is .not payable until Janu- ary 31, 1938. The Social Security Act provides, however, that:
"The taxpayer may credit agaLnst this tax the amount of contributions actually paid in- to the State Unemployment Compensation Fund before the date of filing his Federal re- turn for the year." The Unemployment Compensa
ion Law of New Jersey require bntributions to the New Jerse Jnemployment Compensatio: Fund for the year 1937 at the rat »f one and eight-tenths percent otal annual payrolls. Thus, if employer pays his State contri- butions, his net tax to the Federal Government under Title IX of the Social Security Act will be two- tenths of one percent of his total payrolls for the year 1937.
For the year 1938 the Title IX tax was one percent of total pay rolls and contributions to the New Jersey Fund were at the rate of nine-tenths of one percent. Thus if an employer paid his State con- tribution, his net Federal tax un- der Title IX was one tenth of one percent.
State contributions for 1930, un der the Unemployment Compensn tion Law of New Jersey, wer
State exacting unemployment compensation contributions. But within the State it is generally agreed that the employer of few- er than eight workers has a com- petitive advantage since he is not liable tor either the Title IX tax or State contributions.
The Unemployment CwnptJMt- tion Law of New Jersey stand* on its own merit3. The law itaelf spe- cifically provides that;
"All the rights, privlligtt, or immunities conferred by this act or by acts done pursu- ant thereto, shall exist, sub- ject to the power of the Le- gislature to amend or repwd this net «t any time." The Law further provides that:
"If any provision of this act, or the application thereol to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of this act and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby." Unemployment compensation
not a system giving aid or paying benefits to every unemployed per son. Its tenefits are available on ly to workers who have been env ployed, who are willing and able to work, and who register at free employment offices tor work.
