At al expense OF Sl,0O0,OOO the publishers OF

OF 1900 and the British census figures o, 1901,

and statistical matter developed in the United

article on u state or territory has the popua
tion by counties, and also the new statisti"s on

CHEERING FOR coasUMPTIyES
Health Foard VIII Send Them Lit
erature Telling of Their Ills.

Postal cards were sent out from the
office Of the City Board of Health this
morning to all physicians in the city re-
guessing that all cases of tuberculosis be
reported to that Board. tuberculosis has
not heretofore been classed, as a contagi-
Gus disease and even at present physicians
are not to be compelled to comply with
the Boards request.
In cases reported the Board will try,
by literature ands oral methods, to instill
into the minds Of the tubercular patients
the necessity of isolation from members
of the family and the poor will be pro-
yided with proper vessels in which to ex-
pectorates
Ultimately the Board hopes to be pro-
vided with sanitarium in which to iso-
late tubercular patients and properly treat
the disease. 1t is claimed that such an
establishment could be made self sustain
ing, or nearly so.

BENJAMIN GIVES HIS SIDE
Says There Is No Nuisance on
the County Road.

Inspector Benjamin of the City Health
Board, declares that the complaint Of
the Twelfth Ward Improvement Associa-
ton concerning the condition of the re-
fuse on the County Road is overdrawn. He
said this morning that if such associations
would only send out committees 10 inves-
tlgate nuisances reported to them by ia
dividual members few such complaints
would be sent around to various officials.
The inspector added that the police had
reported the condition of the dumps as
fair. The street cleaning contractors. he
said, emptied street sweepings and gar
bage in the vicinity complained of. about
half an acre of swamp land on the Coun-
ty Road, between Tonnele avenue and the
Susquehanna and the Erie Railroad
tracks. There are not more than six or
seven houses in the close vicinity he
said, "and because one of the owners of
these perhaps objects to the smell, he re-

wALLlNc's FORMIDABLE PETITION
Legislators Ask the Governor to
Appoint Him.

tSpecial to ''The Jersey City News.'D
TRENTON, July 81, 190l-It was expect
ed that Governor Voorhees, yesterday
would appoint six deputy factory in
spectors, for which places there has been
a lively scramble for some time by the
candidates. but the Governor postponed
the announcements until next week. The
place pays $1,000 a year and the duties
are not extra heavy. This county is in
the district which embraces Sussex. War
rem, Hunterdon, Burlington, north of
Beverly, and Ocean, north of Toms
River.
The two principal candidates are Jo-
seph Millburn. of this city, and present
incumbent, and Brice p. Walling, for
twenty-six years member of the Repub-
lican County Committee of Sussex.
Mr.. WalHng was at the State House
Yesterday looking up his chances and he
felt quite confident, as he has petition
which is signed by a host of prominent
men of the state. including State Chair
man Franklin Murphy, a majority of the
Congressmen, majority of the State
Senators. a long list of Assemblymen and
others. IT is one of the strongest petit
tions ever presented to the Governor.
Walling was a door-keeper in the as
sembly last year and began the campaign
of his present aspiration at that time.
Some of the members of the Legislature
who signed the petition then did so think
ing that Sussex was so remote that it
would not interfere with them in any
way but when they learned the boun-
daries of the district they were sorry
that they put down their names.
Despite this petition, it is believed that
Mr.. Millburn who has the support of
the local leaders, will be reappointed,
1t is claimed that he has made an eff
cient official and that there is no reason
why he should not be given second
term

WILL HOLD DUDLEY STREET
Uvalde Asphalt Company's
Protest of No Avail.

President Ralph T. Rokely, Of the
Uvalde Asphalt Company, accompanied
by his secretary and counsel, Mr.. Culver,
yesterday afternoon called upon Mayor
Hoos to protest against the blocking of
Dudley street and allow it to be open
again to traffic. The street has been
blocked against traffic. The street has
been blocked by the city in order to pro-
tect it from the encroachment of the
Legigh Valley Railroad.
Mr.. Rokeby declared that his concern
was greatly inconvenienced by the string
ing of barges in the canal along Dudley
streets front by being unable to unload
matreial at the Dudley street wharf. He
claims that the city has no more right
to the property dispute than the Gan-
tier fire proof brick concern or the sugar
house owners had to that portion of the
street on which they partially stand. The
Mayor sent for Corporation Counsel Nc
pernott and the Street and Water Com
naissfoners. Mr.. NIcDermott upheld the
Street and Water Commissioners in what
they did to protect the city and advised
that they should not give up Dudley
street unless the city was paid for the
use of it.
The asphalt company was advised that
if it wanted to land its material at the
plant it should do so by unloading at
some other wharf.

BoUT0N'S INTENTIONS.
The Water Department Is to BE Put
ON Strict Business Basis.

Clerk George Bouton, who has returned
from his long vacation fully restored to
fiAalth, said yesterday in relation to wa
ter department affairs:-
81 have but just returned and have not
as yet gone very fully into the water
question, but the various threads will be
taken up again just where left them
off, with the ultimate purpose of placing
the department on a sound business
basis, and wnen so placed of keeping it
there
"Certain business principles conceived
before my illness and put into execution
have been since maintained to the great
betterment of the department, and, as far
as 1 can now judge, the only loss occa-
stoned by my enforced absence is the loss
of time in producing substantial results
ST am now at my desk in apparently
good health, and if this condition con-
tinues and is further supplemented by
the continued support and confidence of
the Commissioners (Which / doubt not>
/ have full faith in the accomplishment
of that for which I was appointed, name
Iy financially sound water department,
conducted on business principles.
