Facts About Stone Roads.

There ere about sixty uulrs If stone
roads applied for in Burlington count,
and about thirty miles of gravel roads
About sixty miles have been constructed
and ten miles are now being built. The
constantly increasing demand for roads
from other parts of the state will make
the allotment for Burlington county less
each year. as the expenditures therefor
are governed by the state appropriation
Fourteen counties are now clamorlng fol
roads.
Last year this county received 500, 0OC
from the state appropriation this year il
will be $4,000 At one time she received
as high as $4,000 in one year.
Generally the roads are giving satisfac-
ton, the best evidence of which is the
constant desire for more in each locality
where they have been constructed.
The condition of the stone roads is
generally good, the greatest enemy to
them being the dry weather, which gives
them tendency to unravel. This has
been largely overcome In some sections
by light coat of gravel. Care must be
exercised to have the gravel used very
lightly as heavy coat has tendency to
upIift the stones by forming paste which
adheres to the wagon wheels and draws
the stone from the bed of the road.
Macadam roads are getting more pop
ular than the Telford. costing less to con-
struct and seeming to answer the purpose
better than Telford. Experience has
taught that dry earth is the best founda.
ton for road, therefore the specitica-
tons are being drawn principally for the
macadam style, most of them to be from
six to eight inches deep. The Telford
variety is usually made from ten to twelve
inches in depth.

BURLINGTON.

Major John l. Shinn has been present
ed with handsome saber by the mem
bers of his staff and officers Of the First
Battalion of the Sixth Regiment at Cam
den.
The s. P. c. A. on Wednesday brought
action for cruelty to animals against Rob
ert Jackson and he was fined 81 and costs
by Squire Smith. He was taking a bull
to Bristol and had the animal hobbled
with rope fast to its head and fore leg in
such a manner that the leg was rubbed
raw for six inches. He was admonished
to be more careful in the future.

Pemberton I.icen.a Case.

The decision of Judge Gaskill in the
Pemberton license matter is to be tested
in the Supreme Court, as we stated last
week. Samuel A. Atkinson, attorney fol-
Curtis Davis, appeared before Judge Gar
rison, on Wednesday, and secured an or.
der which removes the question to the
higher court.
The case raises a rather interesting
question, although one which is not new
to the courts of the state. The question is
whether under the general borough law
the power to grant liquor licenses, which
is vested in the Court Of Common Pleas
is by the law taken away from Councils,
to whom this power is specifically dele.
gated by the charter of the borough
Judge Gaskill commended that the special
charter under which the borough Of
Pemberton exists makes this power re-
main with the Council. 1t is a close
point and the final settlement will be
watched with interest

Another Railroad Scheme.

number of owners of real estate al
North Beach Haven, Beach Haven, Spray
Beach, Long Beach City, Harvey Cedars,
Barnegst City, Sea Haven and others have
been in consultation regarding the build
ing of short line of railroad from point
on the Philadelphia and Atlantic City
Railroad (the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroads leased line) to a point at OF
near Beach Haven; and the consensus oil
opinion seems to be that the construction
of such road would be of vital import
ance to all property owners on Long
Beach,
1t is urged that it would require the
building of but few-perhaps 20-miles
of road to reach Tuckerton from the pres
ent line of the Reading and that from
Tuckerton across the bay to Beach Haven
there is a natural chain of islands on
which bridge could be built with little
cost. 1t would also get the Reading into
Tuckerton, and allow it, by leasing the
Tuckerton Railroad between Barnegat
and Tuckerton, to run a fast through
route from New York to Atlantic City, via
Lakewood, Manchester and Toms River,
over the road of its old ally, the New Jer-
sey Central.

There Will Be a F1aRman.

There is to be fagman at the railroad
crossing on Water street. The subject
has been under discussion since the acct
dent to Charles Stokes, of Medford, whose
horse was killed last December.
Immediately after that occurrence a
petition was sent to the railroad company
setting forth the dangers of the crossing
and asking for protection. This was for
warded to Superintendent Brown. Rail
roads do not act as quickly as some others
but sll requests and petitions have to &C
through several departments, necessarily
causing delay.
In the early part of this month a man
was put at the crossing to count the per
sons and teams that went over the rail
road. In six days 9l8 pedestrians and
lS3 teams were recorded.
This was reported and on the 18th O
May Superintendent Jackson advised {
fagman and on the Goth the order was
given.
The grand jury that reported on Tues
day passed resolutions requesting a flag
man, but it will be seen by the above re
cital that the matter had been settled by
the railroad company before the granC
jury took its seat.

day night, by running into tree.
Early Friday morning fire was discover
en- in the third story of Morgan Hall, the
basement of which is occupied by Joseph
M. Roberts store. Owing to the difficulty
in getting at the fire, the flames did con :
siderable damage before being extin-

started from lamp that was left burning
The stage was badly damaged, and nearly
all the paraphernalia in the lodge rooms
was destroyed by fire and water. The
local fire company was unable to cope
with the fire, and sent for the Riverton
company, which responded promptly, and
by their united efforts the total destruc.
ton of the building was prevented. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, partly covered
by insurance.
