Arbor Day.

Governor Murphy has issued a procla-
nation designating Friday, April 25, as
Arbor day, and he asks a general obser-
vance of the occasion.
The Governor recommends that the
teachers and pupils of our public and
private schools, the faculties and students
of our colleges and of our State Schools,
and the people generally, do devote the
day to the planting of trees, shrubs and
flowers, and the holding of appropriate
exercises. And to the end that the inter
est awakened in our native birds be main
tanned. their beauty and economic value
become better appreciated, and more
general effort be made to preserve them,
he further recommends that the birds as
we'll as the trees, be included in each pro-
gram.
In accordance with this proclamation
County Superintendent Stees will recon-
mend the schools of this county to make
special preparations for the occasion.

Death of Amos Gibbs.

Amos Gibbs died at his home on Mill
street, on Friday afternoon. He had been
i'll with cirrhosis of the liver for long
time
Mr.. Gibbs was born at Columbus in
1888. His education was secured by at
tendance at the public schools, and the
Gummere boarding school at Burling-
ton. At the age of 25, in the year
1858, he entered politics, becoming the
candidate for county clerk on the Repub-
lican ticket. He was elected by a good
majority, and soon after taking charge of
the Office he removed to Mount Holly.
When the Legislature of 1872 passed a
law providing for an auditor for this
county Mr. Gibbs was given the Office and
held it for several years. AS political
adviser and prophet he was in constant
consultation with members of the party
from all parts of the county and his sound
being chosen chairman of the county Re-
publican committee and he was contin-
ued in that Office for long time.
In township affairs he took keen inter
est and served in the township committee
number of years. He was president of
the Mount Holly Insurance Company, a
director in the Mount Holly National
Bank and was Que of the organizers of the
electric light company and the street rail-
way here. In 1897 he was appointed a
member of the State Board of Assessors
for the term of four years.
He had not been in active business since
1891, when he severed his connection with
the phosphorus works at Centreton. His
favorite method of investment was real
estate and he bought many properties in
this neighborhood, the Arcade hotel and
row in Mount Holly being one of them.
Mr. Gibbs had been married twice, his
first wife being Miss Nina, daughter of
the late John R. Slack. His second wife,
who survives him. was Mrs Louisa Weth-
GRILL, daughter of the late John L N.
Stratton.

Inadequate Water Supply.

That some steps should be taken i'm
mediately to provide better supply of
water for the purpose of fighting fires on
the outskirts of the town, was clearly
demonstrated at the burning of the old
pickle factory, on Water street, early last
Tuesday morning. The only fire hydrant
on the west end of that street failed to
throw water as high as the second story
of building and is practically worthless
to supply an engine. Desperate chances
were taken at that fire to haul the two en-
gines to the creek and they were extricat-
ed from beds of mud after several hours
of hard work. A bounteous supply of
water can be obtained for that locality by
the expenditure of less than $50 in laying
a road with good foundation leading to
the creek from the alley adjoining the
building formerly used as bottling es-
tablishment on Water street.
West Washington street has poor sup
ply of water. By the expenditure of a
few dollars wharf could be constructed
at Bidwell's pond, thus providing a good
place for supplying both engines.
Madison avenue has but one hydrant
that will feed an engine properly. A sup
ply of water might be obtained at very
little expense for that locality by building
road to the creek.
East Mill street is another locality that
should receive attention. The nearest fire
hydrant on that thoroughfare is at the
corner of Green street. which is a good
one, but too far away to be of service.
By placing one or more food gates across
Buttonwood run sufficient water can be
obtained to supply an engine. The cost
of erecting these would be trifiing.
With the idea of carrying out the above
propositions petition will be presented
to the township committee to have the
work done, the expense of which will be
very small and great benefit to those
localities in case of fire.
