ITEM When asked “Which do you think Is more honest in advertisements—newspaper or radio?” Some 59 per SHORT HILLS t of the people replied tHat newspapers were more honest l ie 11 Per cent sa‘^ r^ ‘° was morc ^onest- That w^at 1 public thought is not entirely true makes little difference e Puse the important thing is what the customers do think. X y„other question was “Would you prefer to have news- S I X C E N T S c o n *g without advertising if that were possible? And JNDED 1 8 8 8 PuUiiked every Tkurfday at M ILLBU RN . N.

So cheer up folks, and don’t be afraid to send in your lbscription for a couple of years in advance. With such ouragement the Item "intends to publish week in and k out, and a fig to such a questionable upstart as radio. oil Reduction in Order Many locaf residents who daily use the Holland or incoln Tunnel in getting to and from Manhattan will robably -be interested in the resolution now before the egislature at Trenton calling for lower tolls on all bridges nd tunnels operated by the Port of New York Authority, t the time of completion of the Holland Tunnel it was an- ounced that the fee would be reduced when volume became cavy enough to make them self supporting. There have een several movements undertaken to force such a reduc- on in later years, all without success. Undoubtedly anyone can see the logic of using these xcess funds to finance the development of similar traffic ids in the New York area, but now it is planned to use the xcess for airport , and seaport development. It is not en- irely clear as to why motorists are to be expected to aid in lie development of air and sea travel. Surely the occasional raveler from Philadelphia, for instance, will not benefit •om seaport development in Brooklyn, yet he is contributing _ it by paying an excessive toll on Port of New York Ati- liority tunnels or bridges. The Port of New York Authority could make the whole |,ing look more equitable by announcing a reduction on oils at this time. There is small doubt that with the com- detion of new feeder roads to the tunnels within the next ew years, the number of tolls collected will jump upwards remendously, and thereby increase the total take, regardless if a reduction in toll.
