trayaganee Of the Billion Congress
Whether this is due to the fact chat dize Is
staunch Democratic State is question
in the Affirmative Of which much can bs
said With the exception Of the Newark
Custom House and Pos1oflrs Congress
authorized only q few expenditures il
your State.
IHe supervising architect says fhnt the
Newark building is 10 be fne structure,
as it should be, with total expendIxnrs
Of $3.50 1000 for the Improvement or this,

mained 70 erect q building after che plans
originally drawn This was brought TO the
attention Of Congress, but nc action was
taken, and 10 consequence the architect
must get along with the funds on hand
A similar condition exists at Paterson
The limit OF cost for site and bu1ldinx
was placed at $50, 600. but it has been
found insufficient 20 secure 8 suitable
site and provide building commensu-
rate With the requirements OF the city.
Congress, however, failed TO make any
additional appropriations. SO Patterson

Inc Lignshcuse Board con5empiates an
Important Improvement, and one, too, OF
benefit to the commerce coming out az

ton Of the railroad bridge across Staten

Is closed by ice IL ls stated that
1900 tons of shipping per day

The board will also continue the sys-
| tenn OF post lights on the Raritau river,

to navigation. Five miles Of the river
have been lighted in the past, three post
lights being maintained.
II the expenditures Of the United States
for judicial purposes were rs reasonable
