The Mckinley Memorial Associa-
tion of New Jersey desires to con-
clude as quickly as possible the work
Of raising the fund of $50, 600 which
it is expected this State will contri-
butte for the erection Of the memorial
to the martyted President. TO accom-
plish this, it is necessary that each
county should contribute an amount
equal to about SIS for each 1000 of it's
population. Tho counties of Essex,
Hudson, Passaic and Ocean have COM
pleted their funds on this basis, and
the work is progressing favorably in
many other counties. In Morris not
much yet has been accomplished, the
contributions thus far being as fol-
lows:
R. H. McCurdy, Morristown, $25 90
Edward L. Dobbins, 20 90
Fred O. Blanchard. Convent St'n. 25 90
Geo. A. Gillig, P. M, Succa-
sunna, collections 10 90
Isaac N. Pierson. Morristown, 2 90
$50 90
Upon tho basis above mentioned,
the proportion for Morris county is
81. 200, and If this were apportioned
among the various communities, tho
allotment in round numbers, would
be about as follows: Boonton, town
and township, $S7; Chatham borough
and township, ,$37; Chester township.
$27; Dover, $l10: Florham Park, SIS;
Hanover township, 500 Jefferson
township, S25; Madison, $40; Mcnd-
ham, township, $25; Morris township.
SAT Morristown $905; Mt Arlington,
S.; Mt. solve township, S23; Mont
villo township, $36; Netcong, slS;
Passaic township, $40; Pequannoc
townhip. $50; Port Dram borough, $40 !;
Randolph township, $42; Rockaway
borough, $50; Rockaway township.
$S5; Roxbury township, $40; wash
ington township, $40.
In the counties where the work has
been successfully completed, the best
results have been produced by
subscriptions in small sums. The
fire departments have been partich-
larly effective: the Newark firemen
gave $i27, and the Jersey City fire.
men $1i0, and very few of the sub
|scriptions were above fifty cents The
Masonic and other fraternal orrani-
zations have generally sent contribu-
tions. Public schools and churches
have aided the work, and small con-
tributions have been taken in factor
les, workshops and wherever bodies
of men are congregated. 1t is these
small contributions which show the
love Of the people for the late Presi-
dent, their loyalty to our institutions,
and their adherence of that spirit of
lawlessness which inspired tho as
sault upon his life. When to thesG|
small subscriptions are added the lar
ger contributions of citizens of
means, the fund is quickly com
pleted.
The State Association feels that
Morris County wants to do it's full
share in this patriotic work. aud it
earnestly solicits few patriotic citi-
zens to undertake the work in each OF
the above localities. !. In every place
where the matter has been presented
to the people,. the response has been
instant ana generous. and it will be
so in Morris Comfy. The contribu-
