CENTRAL OFFICE, STATE EXPERIMENT
STATION.
New Brunswick, N. j., June 25, 1901.
The week ending Monday, June "a,
1901, was generally favorable for the
cultivation and growth of all crops, al
though the nights were still too cool for
tender vegetation. Widely scattered
showers on the 2lst and 23d were in
sufficient good rain is needed in all
sections, but especially in the northern
and central where grass and oats are
beginning to show the want of it. The
cutting Of clover hay was quite general
during the week and much has been
cured and housed in fine condition. The
cutting of timothy will begin early this
week in the southern and central sec
tions. In the northern section this crop
will be decidedly below the average.
Quite number Of dairy farmers have
seeded alfalfa, the plots ranging from a
quarter TO one half acre; the stand is
very encouraging so far. The June
drop of orchard fruits continues and is
quite heavy in the northern section.

A safety Tunnel.

Plans are out for an auxiliary station
on the Lackawanna railroad at South
Orange and for tunnel under the
tracks to connect the two stations.
This plan will ultimately be adopted, it
is said, with all the stations on the
division, to do away with the danger of
crossing tracks. Work on the erection
Of the new brick station to take the
place Of the Grove Street station, East
Orange, will begin as soon as the new
street between Grove street and Green
wood avenue is opened.

Edward Seeley, of Boonton, was con-
victed of larceny in the Morris County
court last Monday and sentenced by
Judge Vreeland to two years in the
state prison. On June last Seeley, it
is alleged, stole brass journals from the
Lackawanna Railroad company's cars,
at Boonton, valued at $l2 According
TO one of the witnesses the absence Of
the journals would result in the cutting
of the axles of the cars and thus cause 4

Interest Lacking as to Sewers.

We are surprised at the apparent lack
ofinterest in the sewer question by the
business men and property owners of
Morristown. Without doubt this mat
ter is the most important the town has
ever been called to decide upon. 1t is
understood that the Board Of Aldermen
are not strenuous as to any particular
scheme. but would be grateful for full
expression Of opinion by the public.
When final action has been taken and
contracts awarded. it will be too late to
commence an agitation Of the question.
The Chronicle gladly publishes two
communications this week. and is in re-
ceipt Of others which will appear next
week.

EDITOR. CHRONICLE:
DEAR SIR:--The Special Committee OF
the Board Of Aldermen have laid before
| the citizens, two plans for sewage dis
posal. The trunk line to tide-water and
| the disposal plant For many reasons
the second is the better plan. For ex-
ample, we should have to build sewer
ten miles long and tunnel Hobarts' hill
before we could connect with the trunk
sewer. That would be very costly both
to lay and maintain Then we should
have to bear proportionate part of the
expense of the trunk sewer itself If
complications arose as very likely they
might, we should have to pay cost of lit
igation, and if as is possible, an injunc-
ton were secured to prevent the dis
charge of sewage into the bay, the
whole expense of construction would be
lost
On the other hand, disposal plant
would certainly last as long as ten years.
If new one were necessary at the end
of that time the money received for
the sale Of rich farming ground would
help to pay the cost of new plant and
the laying of new pipe line to connect
with it, Again, in ten years from now,
we should be able to take advantage of
the newer methods of utilizing sewage
waste, which will have been discovered
in that time.
For these and other good reasons let us
so ahead with the latter scheme asquick-
ly as possible. Yours, etc, Semen.

DANGEROUS FIREWORKS.

The lesson as to the danger of allow
ing high explosives to be carried in stock
by merchants was well illustrated in
Paterson on Friday last, when an explo-
sion occurred in concern manufac-
turing dynamite bombsI resulting
in the loss of seventeen lives and the
wrecking of large building. The Press
aptly says, commenting on the disaster,
and in anticipation of the verdict of the
coroners jury. The result ought to be,
if nothing more, strong recommended
ton for the State or municipal legisla-
ton, or both, that will regulate the stor-
age of explosives in cities and towns alb
solutely prohibiting the manufacture,
keeping or sale of dynamite in the form
of TOYS

10 THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE.
DEAR SIR The report Of the special
committee on sewerage presented to the
Board of Aldermen at its recent meet
ing, is doubtless of great interest to
many of our citizens and desire to ex-
press myself as heartily in favor of the
tide water system mentioned, and of its
adoption at the earliest possible date.
understand from the report that it's
cost is estimated as follows:
Laying sewers in the present %
miles Of streets, $1S5, 900
Connecting the town system
with the sewer leading to
tidewater and for mainten-
ance, $50, 600
Total, $465. 900
Should we pay for this by bonding
the town for perhaps $4,000 at 4 per
cent, the annual interest charge to the
town would be $22, 1000, or 81 900 per
mile of street. Probably some other
system than a charge per running foot
would be adopted to pay this annual
charge. but these figures give the aver
age charge
The annual interest charge at ST 900
per mile of street would average less
than ~ cents running foot OF street or
10 cents per foot for the abutting own
ers ON each side of the street, and an
average charge of 10 cents per foot
against each property owner would al
low large margin for sinking fund
and extension of sewer as required
The total interest charge (s22, 900, or
even with sinking fund added, would
doubtless be much less than is annually
paid by our citizens for cleaning cess
pools and grease traps, building new
cess pools and filling up old ones.
We can hardly doubt that the change
would be beneficial to health and would
help real estate values, for many people
hesitate to make their homes in this
town fearing a disastrous epidemic
sooner or later because Of our lack of a
sewer system.
Yours truly,
THOS. w. CAULDWELL.

Trunk-line passenger officials are of opin-
ion that some means will be adopted to
mollify General Passenger Agent Crane. of
the Wabash, and that the threatened re-
opening of the Kansas City arbitration
trouble will be averted II not, 1t is be-
lieved 1t will not affect the trunk-line ter
ritory or their relations with Western
connections. The New York Post says:
THE previous settlement. under which the
passenger traffic manager of the Wabash
was selected as arbitrator between the Wa
bash and the Alton. was largely brought
about by the initiative of the trunk lines
into New York, and it is believed their
advice will again be accepted. General
Passenger Agent Crane is notifying Chair
man Mcleod, of the Western Passenger
Association in Chicago, that he no longer
considers himself bound by the ruling of
Mr.. Martin as arbitrator rates from
Kansas City to Buffalo and Eastern points
Mr.. Crane takes the ground that competi-
tors have not observed til rit of that
ruling and not keepin effect the
agreed basis for rates eastbound from
Kansas City. The Wabash, therefore, he
asserts, will charge the differential rate
from Kansas City by its fast short line
train to Buffalo Mr.. Crane is regarded as
precipitate in this manner, but il is be-
lieved that no great amount of traffic will
be affected at this date.
