NEW COUNTY ROADS.

Contracts Awarded for the Basxing Ridge
and SIadison-Afton-aIr. Cook Aroused.
Thursday morning last the Road Conn
mittee held second meeting and con-
sidered the bids on the new State aid
roads from Morristown to Basking Ridge
and from Madison to Alton, as set forth
in the CHRONICLE of last week, and also
the full cost of the road under each bid.
After long discussion it was decided to
throw out all bids for native stone
which is furnished mostly from the
Woods and Baxter quarries along the
road. Bids of Bum & Daniels on the
Basking Ridge road were rejected as in
formal, only one certified check being
furnished for the two bids. In the meet
ing of the full board which opened at II
a. m. the committee recommended the
award of contracts as follows: For the
Basking Ridge road, to Augustus Munson
& Co., for $40, 1912 designating Mill
ington stone); for the Madison.Afton
road to P. &c M. Cook for $5,164.32. By
vote of the board the contracts were
awarded to those parties, and the direc-
tor, clerk and counsel instructed to
execute same, the former road to be COM
pleted in seventy-five and the latter in
forty days. Special committees for
these roads were named as follows:
Basking Ridge Messrs. Lum, White
head, Cook, Becker. Hoagland; Alton
Messrs. Lum, Kimball, Troxell, Dalrym-
pie, Norris. On motion of Mr.. Hoag-
land for the Road Committee 5000 was
regular road account. 1t was also voted
on recommendation of the committee
that work on the Mendham road be re-
sumed Immediately. AS the contract is
held up awaiting funds, F. N. Taft, the
contractor, asked to have the full
amount voted before work was COM
menced, but no further action was taken.
Freebooter Cook of Passaic asked that
a supervisor be appointed for the Basking
Ridge road and nominated D. G. Crotz-
ley, but was informed that the matter
was in the hands of Road Commissioner
Budd, and the appointment had already
been given to David I. Pruden. Mr..
Cook strongly objected to this, and asked
that the clerk be instructed ''to write to
Mr.. Budd and ask him on whose recon-
mendation he had appointed the over
seer" adding that it was the duty of the
Road Committee to recommend some
proper person for that road.
Before adjournment Freeholder White
head stated the case of poor family in
Monroe, consisting of a woman and
three children, and asked that So per
week be granted them for support, which
matter was referred to the Almshouse
Committee of the Board.

At the annual meeting of the Music
Teachers National Association, held in
New ork this week, Professor Carl G..
Schmidt, organist of the First Presby-
terrain Church Of this city, was chosen
vice president-at-la large for the United
States. Mr.. Schmidt is to be congratu-
lated upon his sudden leap into promi-
nenee in the musical world, his promo
ton from an Executive Committee to a
vicepresidency being without precedent.
And it is also much to his credit that all
concede that the success of the conven
ton just held in New York was in great
measure due to his effort. The entire
ticket elected follows: Honorary presi-
dent, Prof. Horatio w. Parker of Yale
University; president, Prof. Andrew
Gantvoort, president of the Cincinnati

.sThe Gray House of the ouarries.v


From the outset this novel, by Mary
Harriott Norris, is unusual, and bears
evidence of high thinking and deliber-
ate purpose. Wide, practical knowledge
and tender depths of wholesome senti-
ment are revealed by Miss Norris in her
study of heredity, and the deep questions
of reform glow in the light of her strong
ly poetical ideals. A few pages are
marred by the false coloring of so-called
advanced views, and slight discord of
doubtful theology jars the helpfully re-
ligious tone of the story. Nevertheless,
the book is strong delineation of char
acter, and displays delicately fine per-
ception of the meanings of life. It can
not be hurried through, for the portrayals
of nature and of human nature are SO
charming and so forceful that one is
Obliged to dwell upon the pictures which
unfold between the lines. Young and
old will find this profitable book, and it
ID especially adapted for the morning We
randa reading, when the world and ones
soul are at the purest. We are proud to
add Miss Norris name to Morristown's
laurel wreath.

The Government began the days session
by recalling Miss Crurede to the stand
The defense had tried unavailingly to in
troduce copies of Miss Crurede's letters
in evidence, but as she denied the hand
writing they had been ruled out
The lawyers for the defense asked time

The judge instructed the jury to bring in
a verdict confiscating all the diamonds
seized at Lasar's offices by the Treasury
agents, except those shown by custom
house entries 10 have been entered hon

diamonds confiscated is more than ST..

about $4,000. This verdict is without
