The much-talked-of Mt. Freedom

The much-talked-of Mt. Freedom
road which created so much excite
ment during the session of the
County Board of Agriculture Sat
urday afternoon was designed for a
county benefit By reducing the
gradients on this mile strip of
road and putting it in proper condi-
ton for constant travel, making it
the shortest and easiest wagon route
from Newark to Lake Hopatcong
and Hackettstown, it was thought
that the stream of travel, including
automobile and coaching parties,
would be diverted via Morristown
through much pleasanter section
of country from the longer drive
via Parsippany and Dover, and this
travel would inure to the benefit of
landholders For be it known that
scattered along this secluded route
secluded because of this obstructive
strip of road-are many beautiful
country cottage sites which would be
brought into prominence, aud the
accessory of good roads would fur
nish strong factor in the further
ance of the scheme. But the best
laid schemes" etc. State aid was
called in, and the work was begun.
Perhaps the cost was not accurately
estimated but up to the present
time it has cost SIS, 223. 90 and it
will take $40, 900 more to finish it,
a total of a little more than $74, 300.
One third of this amount, or $24, :
74I, or about So, 900 a mile, will be
assessed to the landowners along
the road. 1t is this increased as,
sessment that is causing the trouble.

Tremendous pressure is being
brought to bear on Representatives
in Congress to enact service PEN
sion law granting pension of $I2
a month to every veteran OF the
Civil War who served two years or
more and has attained the age of
sixty-fve years. This is one, and
the most sensible, of several bills
urged by the Grand Army. This
organization contends that the time
has arrived when the old soldiers,
feeble, incapacitated for work and
unable to properly care for them
selves. should reap the reward of
their devotion to their country in
it's hour of need Both political
parties, it is claimed, have promised
legislation of this character. Such
bill has been advocated for the
past ten years, but to no avail. II
being a Presidential year it is be-
lieved the bill will meet with favor
able reception.
