Price iter annum Camden, 8. (J., Friday, Auguat 5. 1931. . We wore hIiowh the petition asking an eleetloij on the question of bonds for qtreet paving In Camden this week an. I we are glftd to note that It is being readily signed although U has not been presented to a great many of the citizens. It's a great tdg Joh for this city to. .undertake. hut If wo never make a .nut wo will never get anywhere. The old system of work tng the streets hat been antiquated years ago. To our memory It has i>een Into effect for thirty your*,' and the name old rains come year in uud Ihftar out and wash the roadways, and we . have the s?wW old repair bills mounting higher each year. Think of the saving to taxpayers had parman&nt streets and pavements 'been made even ten years ago? * A verdict of not guilty wa? render ed in the Odofc niiiiiiy court at Chicago Tuesday in tlie ease of nine White Nov hall players charged with the throw In^ <>f the world's series in 11)10. The verdict was received amidst a scene of wild cheering, whistling and yelling from five hundred spectators which would have seemed moro natural in the bleachers <tf a base ba.ll park than in the dignified court room. It Is re The Story of Q^jr States By JON ATI I AN BRACE yi^MASSACHUSETTS MASSA.OHU S K T T S was an Indian Word, XUUSHtt w a v li u h e t, which means "at the groat hill." It was used by the Algonquin* to desig nate the tribe living near Blue ftiill lit Milton, now a qiate reser vution near Boston aud the high out hill In the eastern part of the state. This .name was later ap plied to the great hay which Blue hill overlooks. It was from this buy that the state was nurned. In fact, until 1(11)2 the colony was culled the Massachu setts Bay colony, aud after that the Province ot' Massachusetts Bay until the Revolution made 11 a commonwealth. Even today it is often called the Buy statu. It was Capt. John Smith who lirst made a map of the New ICngland ? coast aud named the Charles river In honor of "Baby Charles," who afterward became King CharU's I. Other captains visited the coast from time to time, but it whs not until the fall of 1020 J.hat the Maytlower brought the first permanent set tlers to the Massachusetts shore. The landing of the Pilgrims at Provlneetown aud Plymouth three hundred years ago was re cently celebrated. Of the origi nal one hundred passengers on the Mayflower more than half tiled during the first winter. But the sturdy survivors, with in domitable courage, soon became SUrrnly established and from t\elr beginning, augmented by the) Puritan set tleinents of Salem an<l\ the towns around Boston, >;re\s the state of Massachusetts, which now extends over 8,288 square miles. In proportion to it? area Massarhusct ts is second only to Ktiode Island ill popula tion and litis eighteen presiden tial electoral votes. This makes MnfNachusct t s one of the six most Important states from a po litical point of view.

It -ecins lo me, (and I believe F express the opinion of other"" progre>slve-con sorvativc men.) that our citizen* who wish to see Camden advance will make ;i great mistake In placing ft bond Ksue <?f this size m> the city at this time, certHinly If tin- proceeds are to be expended on paving alone. . Why not consider about one third of this amount and pave such streets on which traffic Is heaviest and then at a later date carry It further if desired? WhV not sohve Improvements .along a few other lines? Consider our Opera House and Its antiquated Interior. Consider at#, up to date abattoir for" ensuring the proper sanitation in handling our meats, an innovation which would be welcomed l?y both consumer and re tailer. Consider the lower end of our town and Its lack of fire protection and the absence of sewerage. I We are now bonded fr two hundred thousand. (water lights and sewerage) | then why double this amount and pos I sMily kill our credit. We are facing a dvflclt now of te11 thousand dollars as h eariA' over from last year In the city government, a fact that some of the exponents of a two hundred thou sand dollar bond Issue would prefer not to mention. Why not face faets instead of Idealism? 1 Lets pave our main business streets !nnd lets embrace progressive ideas as | long a* they are practical, but good people of a good town, lets use busi ness judgement, we shonhl pave in rea son, this I will admit and this I would Certainly favor, but certainly not to the exclusion of all other Improvements. |== Very respectfully. 1 ? ?. H. G. Carrlson. Jr Sees Some Hope Yet. Editor Chronicle: It seems at this date that our City Council in conjunc tion wlt? our County Hoard are go ing abend and open up the east end of DeKalb street and connect with the Iiishopville road despite t tie fact that I three different petitions, which were widely circulated and largely signed and have been presented to these bodies asking that they grant protec tion to the Main Street business ln } terest. The business inep oil the street almost as a unit, claiming that the throwing of this additional traffic through DeKalb street and taking it away from Main street will work out a great harm to the enterprises already located on Main street, and eVentually destroying property values there which will greatly over-shadow those created or Increased on De Kalb* street. | Why this change Is being made over the protest of the people, as well as the protest of a very large minority vote in the city council? This minor ity in council have asked, that the j whole matter he referred to a vote of the people, this request, along with those asked by the signers of the three different petitions already men tioned has been refused. Why? Un less we apply a saying attributed to old Commodore Vanhuilt. when asked for some relief from Ids railroads in the interest of the traveling public. The old Colonel made a remark that has never been forgotten by the Ameri can public, and has rung through our national and legislative halls carrying with the venom of it- "dam the pub lit ?" a great influence^ in the delibera tion of laws of general Interest to the people.
