when the Pennsylvania railroad frs
began to purchase property in New York
for terminal purposes and before it was
known what the purpose of these pur
chases was or who the real purchaser was
certain real estate spectators, observing

Others in advance of the company's rep

"When ii was finally announced that
the Penrsy ylvania railroad proposed to
tunnel under the two rivers and Manhat :

the terminal station, these spectators at
once placed prohibitive value upon the
property secured by them. Being una

price, there is nothing left to do but TO
secure it under condemnation proceed

TN the purchase of the property by
the speculators the prices paid by them
were greatly in excess of that paid for
surrounding amp adjoining property Sc
cured by the company and which under
such proceedings will form largely the
basis of value for the property yet to be

After trying to kill his employer,
William Schowl, aged 45 years, of South
River, on Monday went to the German

A Good Thing For Rutgers.

The eyes of all Sons of Rutgers are
turned just now toward the New Jersey
State Legislature, and the bill introduced
by one of our alumni last Tuesday even
ing. This bill provides for the establish
ment of course in ceramics in the college
during the regular academic year, ami
also during the session of a Summer
school.
The peculiar Appropriateness of such a
course at the New Jersey State College
statistics. This State far outranks all
other States in the quantity and value OF
its output of raw clay. In 1898 New
Jersey produced considerably over one
third of the output of the whole United
States.
The plan is no new one, for already such
courses have been established in Ohio
New York and Iowa. In Ohio the in
crease of the value of its clay output, in
cluding manufactured products, increased
33 per cent. in 1901 over the value in 1900
Com pared with this the paltry increase
of 13 per cent. in New Jersey, the chief
producer of raw material
The bill now before the Legislature was
presented at the last session, but failed
passing by one vote. The conditions this
Winter are more favorable than last. and
with unity of action by the alumni under
the guidance of the recently authorized
Rutgers League, the success of the bill
should be assured.
The alumni of tie college are especial
ly requested to use all their influence.
There were. at the last enumeration. 977
of these in this State. New Brunswick,
alone contains 1879 graduates. Unified
action by this body cannot but have great
weight with the State Legislature. Let
every alumnus do all he can, by personal
letter to members of the Legislature, and
by cooperation with others through the
Rutgers League.
The bill proposes tangible return to
the State for what the college receives:
and the success of the bill means some de-
gree of the justice, so long delayed, to
Rutgers College. e.-Rutgers Targum.

THE SPRING ELECTION.
Matters in the Borough and
Township.
CANDIDATES
The Borough Claims the Candidate for
Freeh0lder this Year. The state
Board of Assessors TO be Called
Here Soon.

The wiseacres OF the groceries and other
places of popular discussion of the affairs
of State have begun their daily sessions
and between whiles are handling the
sugar tariff, the Philippine subiugation
and the election of Freeholder for Monroe
ownship. The latter question seems.
however, the most popular. First among
the points in the Freeholder question
comes the query: To which this wear
does the nomi'tation of right belong. the
Township or the Borough of Jameshurg?
The last candidate from the Borough
was Freeholder Pownall. and since then
Freeholder c. A. Suits has been elected
for two terms-four years. His oppo-
nent was Mr.. George Morse, also from the
Township. So the nomination seems to
belong to Jamesburg and the Republicans
and Democrats of the Borough are alike
insisting on the right to the nomination.
On the Republican side we hear the
names mentioned Of Mr., Thomas Elliott.
Collector A. NJ. Jennings and Ex- Frees
holder Pownall. Mr.. Jennings is not in
the Borough, it is true, but so near that
most of our people regard him as townss
man. and unquestionably they would ac-
quiesce in his nomination even though
be is in the township. There is this adj
vantage to other aspirants, that, il Mr.
Jennings runs for the Freeholdership it
leaves fine chance for someone to- Sc
cure the nomination for Collectors pice
plum-and this would easily make "A
combination in his favor, for he is SO
popular that he can hold the Collector
ship as long as he pleases. Some would
like to see Mr.. Pownall named because OF
sympathy for him and because be got
more for his Township than has ever
been gotten-before or sincs-and because
he was the best political leader the Rel
publicsns have had in the Board of Free
holders for some years.
So far. we have not heard a single
Democrat named for any position, except
the rumor that Freeholder G. A. Stults
wants to succeed himself. and this has
been denied by some of his friends.
In Jamesburg Borough the political
1
pot has begun to boil and states are being
made for local offices. In the Council
the terms of Councilmen G. Nj Dawson
and Thomas Abbott expire this Spring,
Both declare they are not candidates,
and for this reason the people will prob
ably insist on putting them in for another
term. Both have been very useful mem
bers and are deserving of reelection.
thing that has been annoying to Council
recently is the practice of the Conn
missioners of Appeals in lowering as
sessments to that extent that Council has
been unable to properly conduct the bus
iness of the Borough. This action has
so cut down the tax receipts that almost
nothing has been paid on the Borough
Hall debt. and Council has been so Grip
pied that it could not spend the proper
amount on our streets. Indeed, this
practice has grown into an abuse of
power and Council has now voted to call
the State Board of Assessors here this
Spring and secure an equalization of
taxes.
