SEWER COMMISSION OBJECTS.

According to the Elizabeth Journal,
at meeting of the Joint Sewer Com
mission held in South Orange on Mon
day night, among other important mat
tiers considered was the ACCESSIBILITY of
allowing Elizabeth and Morristown to
connect with the sewer to tide water.
owing to the delay that would occur.
The Journal adds;
Morristown, it is probable, will not be
permitted by the municipalities inter
ested to make use of the joint sewer to
tide water. The Morristown officials
asked the joint body to let their town
come in.
After long discussion, in which all
points were considered, it was the gen
eral sentiment that Morri5town could
not possibly join without causing a de-
lay, as it would necessitate the repeal
ing of the present ordinance. the draw
ing up new apportionment, a possible
increase in capacity and special legisla-
ton. Therefor it was held inadvisable
to let in Morristown.
There is suffiient capacity under the
present plans for Morristown, but this
would prevent the selling of the excess
capacity to South Orange township, and
part of Summit in the future. These
communities are not at present in need
of sewerage and did not join in the
scheme. The discussion resulted in re-
ferring the whole matter to the execu-
tive committee. II Morristown should
be allowed to join, the State Hospital
for Insane at Morris Plains would be
drained by sewerage. This is greatly
needed.

WHEN sRlpGEls in OPERATION.

Engineers claim that when the new
North river bridge is completed it will
be possible for the suburbanite to leave
the New York terminal by train and
arrive at the town he resides in at least
half hour sooner than he can at pres
ent on trip crossing the ferry and Incl
dental delays from the metropolis says
the Newark News. The difference in
time, it is estimated will be saved in
crossing the ferry and incidental delays.
Not alone in time, but in comfort, also
will he be gamer
According to the plans, it will be
possible for a commuter to get aboard a
train bound for, say, East Orange, in
New York city. Once comfortably seat
ed, he need not stir again until the con-
ductor calls Uut this station, a half hour
later, and Morristown in about 40 min
utes.
1t will not longer be a wild rush from
Office to the ferry, wait for the boat,
which mayhap is delayed by fog, an
other dash for a seat, only to be follow
ed by one more when the boat gets to
the other shore; then another dash
through the crowd to the railroad term,
inal, only for the man with the many
holed ticket to discover possibly he has
to stand up until his station is reached.
New York to Orange in thirty min
utes will make the greater portion of
Essex, Passaic, Bergen and Morris coun-
ties more accessible to the Gotham bust
ness men than 115th street, even with
the new subway constructed.

"GOING OUT TO BUFFALO"

met salesman yesterday
80 glum he couldn't look my way.
His goods he didn't try to SELL
Seemed hypnotized by some strange spell.
AT length | heard him mu mer low;
Going out to Buffalo,
Then came farmer later on,
Something deep he dwelt upon
Wouldn't talk of crops or rain
Oiphered something out in vain
Wondered What 'twould cost, you know,
'Going out to Buffalo,
In walking slowly on, met
Store clerks. and teachers, and a set
or various people, rich and poor,
In lively talk, who made it sure
That they would join the streams that flow
Going out to Buffalo,
A pretty girl with ewes of blue;
black eyed one quite pretty, too
Gassiped of something-'twas dress;
Nor Jim's nor Johns delightfulness.
Each bravely said she and her beau
Were going out TO Buffalo,"
An editor and lawyer said
They always put some joy ahead;
A doctor asked dominic
To guess what this rare joy might be.
At once he answered. Don't you know
They'r going out to Buffalo?'n
Pilgrims from all this hemisphere.
Like Chaucer's g, picturesque and queer.
Are marking grips and trunks today
To travel one determined way.
They're bound to see our New World show
By going out TO Buffalo,

the State. He will doubtless be his own
successor.

the busy clatter of the moving machine

not very musical is bearable, because it

of a plentiful harvest. But there are
no mitigating circumstances to comfort
the people of Morristown as they hear
the far worse noise of certain red

Police Sergeant Dodge, Detective Mike
Mcdonald, and DR.. Charles McGee.
The condition of Garrett, Dodge and
MCGEE is considered critical. McDon-
aid will probably recover. Kelly, har-
boring fancied wrong, entered Gar
rett's office unannounced. Without a
word Of warning, he shot Garrett, who
sat at his desk, five times. Garrett fell
from his chair and when Dodge and
Mcdonald arrived he was uncon-
scious. Kelly had reloaded his revol-
yer and when the officers entered turn
ed it upon them and DR.. McGee who
was summoned to attend to Garrett.

evidently mistook John r. Garrett for

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Tax Levy For l90l.-0ther Impor-
tant Business Transacted,


The board of county commissioners
was in session yesterday and today and
did a good deal of work this forenoon.
The tax levy for the present year was
made and it is just little below the
figures of last year. Tho entire levy
for the present year will be $4.97 per
hundred. For territorial purposes, in
cluding the public schools, II and 29-100
mills; for county purposes, including
levies to pay interest on coupons and
for surveying the county, Is mills; for
city purposes, including the levy for the
city schools and to pay interest on
coupons, II mills. Last year the levy
was 1888. There are few local levies
such as sheep sanitary tax, cattle sani-
tary tax and indebtedness of q few
school taxes which we're not counted in
the above levy.
The board also adopted resolution
for the surveying of the taxable real
estate in the county. This work is to
be done by the county surveyor and be-
fore final payment is to be inspected by
a surveyor and civil engineer to be APP
pointed by the county board. The in
structions and specifications under which
this work is to be done are to be similar
to those in force in the interior depart
ment for deputy surveyors and If carried
out will protect the interests of the
county fully.
The board also passed resolution
instructing the chairman of the board,
Hon. w. H. Kennedy, and Hon. Arthur
Seligman, one of the members, to pro-
ceed to New York and confer with the
largest bondholders of the county as to
the settlement of the question of the
funded county debit unpaid coupons and
judgments for same against the county.
There were present the chairman, Hon,
w. H. Kennedy, Messrs. Arthur Selig-
man and Jose A. Lujan, members.
