Commissioners Budd's RepOrt.

Henry |. Budd, Commissioner of Public
Roads, presented his annual report to the
Legislature on Tuesday. He suggests that
the annual appropriation be increased
from 100000 to 100000 This sum, he
says, would give each county every year a
healthy mileage, the taxation to meet
which would not be burdensome, prob
ably not more than one-eighth per cent. on
the ratables, and would result in an
annual expenditure of over 81 100000 for
improved roads, rate that would soon
place New Jersey in a position to attract
millions of capital for investment. and
thousands of progressive citizens for per-
manent residents.
1t has been urged, the Commissioner
says, that this rapidly increasing desire
for improved roads should be met by
bonding, as has been done by the SIX
terminal counties, which are the homes
of much of the wealth of New York City
and the seats of the largest cities of the
State. His answer to this is that agri-
cultural communities, although contrib
uting more largely than any other class
to the vitality, strength and wealth of
the nation and to the sustenance of
cities, are too poor to meet the taxes
necessary to construct under the County
Bonding act, which requires the town
ships through with each road passes to
pay one-third of the cost, besides a pro-
portionaI share of the county tax.
The report shows that the entire ap-
preparation for last year was distributed
among counties building improved roads.
Atlantic county received S., 401 80 ; Bur
lington, S21, 5S5-16; Essex. $93424 Al
Gloucester, $lO,245.55 Mercer, SS4, 4l7.-
%; Middlesex. $14,SS7.92; Monmouth,
So. $50. SO Salem, 81, 63566.
The report had this to say of Burling-
ton county:
There have been in Burlington county
| four roads contracted for One from CO.
lumbus to Bordentown, five miles, to be
built of stone, 8 inches macadam, 10 feet
wide !; one from Florence station on the
Camden and Amboy railroad to the iron
pipe manufacturing town of Florence, two
and one-half miles in length It is to be
of macadam, Stag foundation, with stone
surface; one from Charleston to Rancocas
turnpike 4,259 feet, inches macadam, II
feet wide; another from Pensauken creek
to West Palmyra station, $3.50 feet, in
ches macadam, II feet wide.
These roads are mostly over a sandy
loan surface through good farming sec
tions, road-beds now WORKOUT and filled
with a heavy bed of sand. They will be
welcome additions to the many towns and
farms along their lines
! One or two gravel roads are in contem-
plation, and may be constructed this year,
if other counties do not claim all of their
share of the state appropriation. There
are many other roads applied for in this
county which will have to wait for years
for improvement, unless the State appro-
| priation is increased

The new Irish opera 'Shamus O'Brien," has
made tremendous hit at the Broadway Thea
tire, New York, where it is now running to
crowded houses. The opera is founded on the
well-known poem of shamus OBrien. and i
sung by Irish men ana Irish women, import
ed from Ireland expressly for the production.
The piece is full OF genuine IRISH wit, and
abounds in real Irish melodies. The scenery
is grand in its simplicity and the details OF
Irish peasant life are perfect. In such mag
nihcent company of principals, and such
superb chorus, it seems invidious TO single
out any particular artist, still the highest of
enconiums must be given Denis O'sulIIvan,
with his grand baritone voice and athletic APP
pearance, as Shamus Joseph O'Mara, as Mike
Murphy the tnformer, the tenor robusto An
