Morristown. N. j., Sept. 2, 1902
Editor Chronicle: =
When / wrote you, two weeks ago
concerning the rate of mortality
among the bushes men of Morristown,
l thought stated the facts / wished
to establish so plainly that the way
faring man though not particularly
smart need not err in the interperta-
ton thereof. But l find that I have
either overated the average intel
ligenge of the citizen or underated
his susceptibility. l plainly said the
mortality among the business men
had been and would undoubtedly be
etc, 'and yet I find some people think
| was trying to show them that there
had been most remarkable number
of deaths, an epidemic, so to speak
while others seem to think my
thoughts were, we are all going to
die, so let us simply sit down and
wait for the grim monster.
What was trying to show, and
certainly thought l did show with
reasonable clearness, was the fact
that while trolleys and sewers were
great and important things to be
considered by our citizens, the most
important after all was that strange
mysterious agent which whisked from
among us, every six weeks on an
average one of our number and trans
planted him into the "great I'M
known" from which no traveller
ever returns to this world. | was
trying to give my communication
q religious twist, a strange feature
undoubtedly in the life of some of
your readers and therefore incompre-
hensible to them. Never in my
widest flight of in imagination how
ever, did I think that "Deacon"
Pierson Of the Jerseyman would fail
to comprehend and appreciate the
facts that l attempted to set forth
and least of all did / suppose that
he would deliberately misrepresent
what l had said, to his readers, I
did not say at this rate we will soon
need no trolleys or anything else
here, " nor did say anything like it,
no one but a fool would make such
a statement and I might add, accuse
a sane man of making it, Did the
intelligent editor of the "Jerseyman"
suppose for one moment that I would
make such statement as that COM
munication contains, and not know
what was talking about? l beg to as
sure him that it was the long list of
names that startled me and led to the
communication. l would publish the
list here if I thought it proper but
if the editor of the "Jerseyman"
wishes to see it let him call upon
the editor of the Chronicle with
whom l will leave copy.
The average death rate in Morri-
town says the 'Jerseyman" for the
past four years was 21o year. Prob.
ably the editor is right, if he had
taken as much trouble to look up
my statement as he did that matter,
he would never have written as he
did, and therefore saved himself
from being absurd. If 210 persons
have died in Morristown each year
during the past four years nine out
of each 210 have been men who did
some sort of business in this city
and were we'll and prominently
known. Yours Observer.

Editor Chronicle -
Now that we are hearing so much
about new things coming to Morris
town such as trolley" and double
railroad track to Dover, I am led
to inquire what has become of the
proposed new drive over the top of
the mountain to Bernardsville.
About two years ago one of our
town papers announced that Messrs.
G. B. and E. H. Schley expected
soon to begin the construction of a
new road from the neighborhood of
Somerset Inn over the mountain and
connecting either with the Jockey
Hollow or the McCllntock roads.
The new road was to lessen the
distance from Morristown to the Inn
by mile and half, thus bringing
the two social centres nearer to-
gether and making a popular drive
besides developing much desirable
property between here and Demands
vile. Has this project fallen through?
Thewriter hopes not. Can you or
some of the readers of the Chronicle
give any information?
One Who Enjoys Driving.
The above has been referred to E. II.
Schley, proprietor of Somerset Inn, Ber-
nardsville, N. I'D.
