that WILL.

The proposal to erect silk mill in Nor
ristown has called forth considerable
editorial comment and newspaper cor
respondeuce, not only in Morristown, but
throughout this section of the state.
Some Of 1t Is very fair and very wise,
and some of it will not merit either of
these adjectives. For instance o.
E. Britt who has resided in this neigh
borhood for few years, writes letter
to the Jerseymdn and raises several
bogeys, such as strikes, reduced
wages, the operatives combining with
the LIQUOR interests to control the town,
and SO on, for the purpose of soaring the
citizens from encouraging a silk mill
here. No better answer can be given
to this than an article in the last issue
of the Summit Record, which tells
what a great benefit silk mill has
been to Summit. 1t has helped the
merchants and has furnished work at a
high rate of wages to many young
people of the town who other
wise would have had to leave
home. Though we cannot obtain
such mill on the same easy terms as
Summit did, it would be a great advan-
Tage to Morristown to have one, and we
think every reasonable encouragement
should be given for the establishment of
some such industry which employs
skilled operatives and creates no nuis-
ance. Mr.. BIRTHS suggestion of having
large hotel built is very good one,
sasgak not as an alternative to factory.
There is NO reason why we should not
have both, save that no capitalist is
likely to put money into large hotel
here until we have sewers. And then,
after all, the hotel guests and proprietors
like some of our present residents might
spend all their money in New York; the
factory operatives will not.

A SPELL OF WEATHER.

The weather prophet had his hands
full with the weather on Friday last.
First heavy downpour of rain, then
snow, more rain, little hail by way of
variety, and snow from 10 to 1890
O'clock, followed by weather of the zero
order, resulting in the walks and streets
shining out on New Years morning in a
coat verify as smooth as glass; with less
than two inches of hail and snow, the
sleighing about town was fair on Satur-
day and Sunday. The t'red ball' was
up generally for there was skating on
every street and avenue in Morristown
all New Years day. and had the old
fashioned custom of calling and treating
been INDUCED in, both hospitals would
undoubtedly have been crowded with
patients suffering from broken or sprain-
ed legs and arms. to say nothing of heads
and backs.
Pedestrianism was serious matter
not only on New Years day, but on
Sunday as well, and many serious falls
were noted. However the old saying
that tits an i'll wind that blows no one

PlAINFlELD SEWERS PROFITABLE.

The annual report Of the city of
Plainield just published contains many
facts which areof interest to the residents
Of Morristown, more especially as our
neighboring city is also largely a resi-
Dental city. 1t is more fortunate, how
ever, than we are, in that several fac
tories are located there, employing
probably fifteen hundred operatives, the
&majority of whom are skilled mechanics.
! The CHRONICLE has always been an
advocate of a sewer system for Norris
town, claiming in addition to the sani-
tary benefits that it was a matter of
economy. The Plainteld report, as
published in the Cour6er-NeaCs, verifies
our statements. The Committee on
Sewers reported as follows:
"There were 400 feet of eight inch
sewer constructed during the year, max
ing % 10 miles of completed sewer at a
total cost of 1856, 033 or up 10 date.
There have been 372 houses connected
ws<h, the sewer since the beginning of the
year, making total of 1877 connections.
These 1917 sewer connections represent
the displacement of at least 1900 cess
pools and probably 500 outhouses. AL
lowing 81 90 each for cleaning 1000 cess.
pools and $500 each for 400 vaults, and
interest at fivepe cent, on the $50 600,
the approximate cost of construction of
1900 cesspools and onthouses, there will
be total of $l2, 200 as the cost of main
tenance for one year of partial system
of sewage disposal by cesspool and vault
with their accompanying soil pollution,
personal discomfort and unsightly APP
pearance. Against this the maintenance
of the present system of "a miles of
sewers cost s., 900 and the interest on the
construction bonds for the past year is
5000. making $4,000, sum which will
be lessened each succeeding year until
the bonds are paid off. The cost per
capita of population in 1897 is about
sixty cents.
The estimated flow of sewage per "a
hours is 1926 900 gallons, or about go gall
Ions per capita of the population receiv-
ing the direct benefit of the sewers.
1t will thus be seen that PlainfieId has
acted wisely in adopting a first class
sewer system and in encouraging the
trolley under proper restrictions, as we'll
as in fostering the establishment of fac
tories in which skilled labor is employed.

"A FEELING OF SADNESS. z

Governor Griggs has completed his
last annual message. In a recent inter-
view with a well known newspaper
representative he said, it would differ
very little from his previous message:
VERY little legislation is required at

pLAlNfleLo,s VARIED IMpRovgMENTs

The street question evidently troubles
the city fathers of Plainfeld fully as
much as it does our city officials. From
the report of the Street Committee Of the
former city we learn that in Plainield
there are seventy miles of streets and
roads, twenty-five miles of which are
macadamized and telford, balance dirt;
ten of the latter being unaccepted. To
clean the macadam and scrape and roll
each dirt street once each spring and
fall costs about SIS. 600. and that money
spent on dirt streets is the most discour-
aging feature of street work In all,
$19, 374 SO was spent on street improve
ments, of which sc. 962 So was spent in
re-macadamizing Az miles of streets.
1t is also very much in evidence that the
trolley is bringing the outlying portions
of Plainfield into closer touch with the
city, as forty three new walks were laid
requiring 25,347 lineal feet of tagging,
10, 284 feet of curbing, and 10000 lineal
feet of sidewalks are staked for grade.
So much has been done to further the
interests of Plainfield by its Board of
Trade that it has recently been found
necessary to increase the membership;
with view to reaching out in every di-
rection for the location of additional de-
sirable factories, for identifying the town
and the careful consideration of the
many questions which are of mutual in
terest to the residents. In the reorganiza-
ton of the Board of Trade we notice the
names of number of leading New York
business men who reside in Pl-Nield,
including Mayor Fisk. who is prominent
banker in the former city.
1t might be wise step for the COM
mittee recently appointed by the Board
of Trade of this city to visit Plaintield
with a view of inspecting the various
methods which are doing SO much in the
way of adding to its attractiveness as a
place of residence, as we'll as establish
ing healthy home trade.

DR.. Bankers Trip abroad.

Mrs. DR.. Barker is in receipt of inter
esting letters from Dr. Barker, who
sailed on November 2S for Europe
as guest of Eugene S. Higgins,
on his palatial steam yacht "Varuna.''
The doctor wrote that the voyage to
Bermuda was very rsngh; from there
the course was laid for the Canary
Islands where some delightful inland
excursions were made and DIR. Barker
succeeded in obtaining some fine views,
including the Peak of Terrific. A trip
was made to its summit, 12 1870 feet
above sea level; the ascent required three
hours, the travellers being carried in
hammoeks by three men. The descent
was made in twenty minutes down an
incline roadway in baskets. Grand
Canary Island, Santa Cruz and numerous
other islands were visited. Some time
was spent at Madeira and several stops
were made along the African coast,
Sardinia, Neice and Genoa The harbor of
Marseilles was made where the '.Varuna''
went into winter quarters The many
friends of DR.. Barker will be- glad to
learn that he is in better health than he
has known in years, has gained in
weight and thus far has found the trip
delightful one. A cablegram received
by Mrs. Barker this morning says that
the doctor will make trip up the Nile
starting from Marseilles at an early date.

ABOUT RIGHT.

In speaking of the problem of dispos-
ing of the sewage that now empties into
the Passaic river, the Jersey City Jour
nal says:
1t is probable that the outcome of the
disposal works, each municipality main
tanning its own.
The pollution of Newark Bay by the
discharge of large intercepting sewer
would be intolerable. 1t wonld simply
shift the location of the Nuisance.
If each town builds an intercepting
sewer in front of it's own territory and
disposes of its own sewage, the expense
will be less and the work effective.

IT is stated that there are forfeited
bail bonds in the Hudson Prosecutors
Office amounting to 100000. The re-
covery of this sum would go far toward
improving the financial condition of the
county, and testify to the honesty and
efficiency of the Prosecutor of the Pleas.
It is doubtful if the latter is equal to the
task of recovering the forfeited bail
money within the few months remaining
of his term, but an effort should be
made to do SO.
