Trolley Companies Of North
ern New Jersey Re-
ceive a New
Proposition.
CORPORATION has sa5,ooo,ooo
It Is Said This Offer Will Be
Favorably Considered and
That Nevins's Will
Be Rejected.


At the meeting Of the directors of the
North Jersey trolley lines this afternoon
it is probable that the report of the COM
mittee of six favoring the rejection of the
offer of Thomas A. Nerins win be rati-
fed.
After making its report on the Nevins
proposition the committee will submit to
the directors the proposition Of the Fidel-,
ity Trust Company of Newark. This
company agrees to organize another COM
pany, which, Jas vet, is unnamed. The
proposed corporation is not to be in any
sense a holding" concern, but will, if
the sceheme goes through, directly control
the business and operations of all the
merged corporations It is to be capi-
talized at $25, 100000 OF this amount
S10.000,000 will be represented by read
cash. The company, when organized, will
agree to acquire the stock of the sew
eral parties to the merger on thS follow
ing basis:-It will, pay 40 for oNrth Jer-
sey, 35 for Jersey City, Hoboken and
Pat srson, 80 for Orange and Passaic
Valley, 80 for Elizabeth, Plainfeld and
Central Jersey, and 80 for United Elec-
trio. The figures named for each class
of stock named herein are several points
in advance Of the quoted prices in the
market yesterday.
The new company will agree to take
the stock of the several corporations and
give IA exchange for it certificates that
will be negotiable These certificates will
be dividend bearing from the time Of is
suance. The sliding scale contained in
the Nevins proposition is repeated in the
Fidelity plan, with the difference that the
scale in the latter proposal will be more
advantageous to the stockholders. 1t be-
gins with dividends OF two per cent. Tor
the first year and the same amount for
the second year. There will be an adj
vance in the interest rate thereafter of
one-half Of one per cent. each year until
the dividends at the close of the fenth
year will be six per cent, where they will
remain.
1t is understood that the guarantee Of
the Fidelity win be given for the carry
ing out of this proposed scale Of divid-
ends for the first FIVE years.

The prune driers at the Pike place

Ii is estimated that the yield at the
Pike place will be about twelve tons of
dried fruit.
Hunters are numerous on Mount
Constitution now, many Of them COM
ing from the .bay cities. Few, if any,
have licenses and the law is being daily
violated in other respects. Referring
to the recent article In the ISLANDER
about the need of game warden here
and the appointment of l.. p Dorviller
last year and his failure to actj Mr.
Dervler says that he declined to quail
ifs because of the action of the county
20mmissioners in fixing his compeasa-
ri Sl.00 per month, which he under
stood to mean that he would be expect
ed to pay to the county treasurer the
full amount of all fines collected, in.
stead of being allowed to retain one
half as provided 10y the game law. 1t
cannot reasonably be expected that
any one will faithfully discharge the
duties of a game warden for lesser
compensation than the law allows. A
spotted fawn was shot bya Whatcom
hunter last week and shipped from
here in violation of the law.

People in this locality are strongly
in favor of the proposed telephone pro

the mutual telephone plan to priv tie

law it will be possible to secure the
opening of the Willis road, from.
Obstruction pass to olga The, people
in the neighborhood of the pass have
waited patiently for fifteen years for d
public outlet, and under the present
law it would take about as many years
more to make good road over the
newly established right-of-way, at the
rate OF progress made, this year, only
$40 having been allowed from the gen
eral road fund of this- commissioner
district to apply on the new road,
whereas more than ten times as much
was spent in some places to reduce
grades on roads already good. ....
The property owners of the Doe Bay
road district will ask the county com.
missloners to authorize a change in the
right of way of the public road over

FEW FEATHERED S0NGSTERS
REMAIN IN THE DISTRICT

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
In recent article in your paper, the
advent of the birds is heralded. But are
the good people of the District aware
of how few abide long with us?
The many broad parks and the
Soldiers Home grounds would be thought
ideal homes for the blackbirds, the
robins, bluebirds, catbirds, wrens, reed
birds and all the warblers and fly catch
ers.
In recent drives through the parks
have not noticed dozen robins and
5lackbirds, except in migratory focks
The time was when the trees in
the grounds. and especially the Capitol
grounds, were full of blackbirds and
robin nests, and the shrubs and bushes
were nesting places of catbtrds and
thrushes.
For several years I have been in the
habit during the spring and early sum
mer and fall of driving almost daily
through the parks and Soldiers Home
grounds and carefully observing in re-
gard to the birds, and even counting
them as l passed along, and they have
been gradually decreasing. until last
season, but a very few attempted to
build nests and rear young and not
single young robin. or blackbird, which
used TO be SO common, met my sight in
all my drives.
Now what has produced this state of
things? Oh! the sparrow" the spar

Dispatches received by Commissioner

There will not be a single small bird
