SEWERAGE
DISCUSSION
". 7. Hunt Addresses Board Of
Trade Meeting.

He Favers a FiIteration System For
Morristown.- wn.-Ex-Alderman Farley,
Mayor Fox, Alderman Hurtzie, Vice.
| Chancellor Emery and Others Dis
cuss the Matter,
/ With view of feeling the public
pulse and learning more about the sewer
age question meeting Of the Norris
town Board of Trade was held in the
Farrelly building last Monday night,
which was fairly well attended, con
sidering the heat
w. T. Hunt formerly chairman of the
State. Sewerage Commission, and editor
of the Newark Sunday Call addressed
the gathering. Has an able and con-
vincing speaker and the fact that he has
Travelled extensively in this country and
Europe for the purpose of acquainting
himself with the various methods of
sewage disposal in inland cities made
his remarks worth listening TO.
Mr.. Hunt began his address by saying
that the disposal of sewage was not by
any means one which could be answered
definitely or fully. The speaker con-
tended that after years of close study
even scientists admitted their inability
to cope with the question. He stated
that the systems in vogue in this country
were superior to those of Europe and his
own personal observation led him to
conclude that the foreigners were igno
rant on the question of sewerage,
Mr. Hunt then compared the filtera-
ton system of local disposal of sewer
age with the trunk line system and
showed conclusively that while the sew
age road would empty into the Kill
Van Kull without serious objection on
the part of any persons it would event
ually meet with strong opposition from
the United States government, the states
of New York and New Jersey because OF
the dumping of sewage into lower New
| York Bay and that the cities OF New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City will
doubtless soon be restrained from
sewering into the bay. "Of course,
continued Mr.. Hunt, 'a treating plant
for chemically treating sewers can be
established, but personally | favor the
local disposal of sewage by the hltera-
ton system and think it would be an ex-
cellent one for Morristown, provided the
city government carefully attends to the
liberation beds.
After Mr.. Hunt had concluded his
remarks discussion ensued which was
participated in by Patrick Farrelly,
Alderman Hurting, Thomas H. Cauld-
well, Augustus l.. Revere. Rev. Samuel
q. Batten, Vice Chancellor Emery, Car,
mon f. Randolph and DR.. Harry P.
Vaughn. Some favored one plan and
some another, and Mr.. Hunt answered
the questions put to him satisfactorily
and offered several suggestions, Finally
a resolution was adopted recommending
to the Board of Alderman the adoption
of the trunk sewerage system for the
town.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Field Club Easily Defeated by EnsIc-
.AaAH

wood.
The spectators who witnessed last
Saturdays game at the Field Club went
away filled with sundry impressions.
In their mental convolutions there were
swats and swipes, lurid howls, the fran
tic chasing OF hits and all the specta-
cular ingredients which go to make up a
Morrlstown defeat
Coggeshall began the game like a
runaway engine with the throttle wide
open. He threw the ball so high that
the batter couldn't reach it nor Allen
catch it. Consequently bases on balls
were bestowed upon the visitors in pro-
fusion and in the very first ii ming after
three men had been given free passes to
first, Wood made a pretty home run
drive clearing the corners Coggeshall
was relieved by Ford in the fourth in
ming, but the latter was unable to hold
the visitors down, and the playing be-
came more listless, and less interesting
as tire game progressed.
This in brief tells the story of the
game. The locals were showed under
as usual, because of infantile weakness,
at certain times at the bat because there
ere not more than three men on the
nine that can play base bail as well as
lawn tennis; because it is too expensive
to engage a pitcher, and few other
reasons known to the management.
Everybody at the game Saturday was
aispleased with the decisions of the um-
oire. The cry of 'bad umpire is as
old and futile as it was during the game
in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and
Eve were declared out on one apple. The
home team lost because they were out
classed. No umpire in the world could
have won OF lost the game for them,
This tells the story

New Brunswick, N. j., July 2, 1901.
The weather conditions that prevailed
during the week have been most favor
able to the harvesting of hay, the rip n
ing of wheat and rye, and the growth of
corn. Great quantities Of hay have
been cut and housed in prime condition.
The yield, in the Central portion, is
unusually heavy, taxing the storing
capacity of some farms. Wheat and
rye are ready to cut, and the yield
both in grain and straw, is very promis-
ing. Truck and garden crops are suf-
fering somewhat from lack of rain, but
none, thus far, have been SO iously in
iured. A general rain now would be OF
incalucIable value to these crops. The
temperature has averaged I29 above
the daily normal, and the sunshine has
been excessive.

When alighting at the Elmwood gate

pause at the little street-car box and buy

fereEces of the various states to devise

The question of whether minister

President Frank Trumbull of the
Colorado II Southern had no objection
to the beet sugar men entering the
northern Colorado field with an elecr
tric line. ''The proposition was made
to us by Mr.. Boettcher and his asso-
GATES" said Mr.. Trumbull. but we
did not care to build n line through the
region which is to be trayersed by the
electric line. There is friendly feel
ing between the sugar beet company
and the officers of the Colorado X
Southern. and we see no reason for
any change in the friendly relations"
The remarks of Mr. Trumbull effect
ually put to rest rumor that the en-
terprise was started with the intention
of securing lower rates from the Colo
RADIO II Southern. The territory is cn-
tirely new and is one of the most pro-
ductive in the state. 1t is plentifully
