the annual reports to be submitted to

number Of New Jersey offices 1876 are
Presidential otlices either in the first
second or third class, while 73l are
fourth-class offices. This is a gain of
nine Presidential offices within a year.
On the other hand, it is a reduction
Of ten fonrth-class offices during the
same period This reduction is due
largely to the discontinuance OF some
offices because of the establishment OF
rural free delivery routes ia their
place, and the establishment of sub
stations in place of some others.
In the gross receipts Morristown is
credited with s43.o6l 5s against s44,-
S63.40 for the year before Morris

Says Work Will Continue

In an interveiw with Colonel Swanitz yesterday he stated that as he has completed all the prelimi- nary work necessary to begin act ual construction, he will leave on the Portland and proceed direct to Chicago, where he will confer with his principals, and close contracts with large firm of railroad con- tractors. In the meantime the office force stationed here will be kept at work, also force of men clearing the right-of-way. Bids for the delivery of piles and ties have been received and the con tracts for these will be let later. As soon as pile driver can be secured and put in place, a heavy railroad wharf will be built about two thous- and feet below the town.

 Though work has practically ceased for the season a few men will be kept working all winter.
 In the event of railroad being started this company guarantees to deliver 800 tons of ore to the rail- road daily within 30 days after the read reaches the property. This can be done easily as the ore can be economically handled by gravity and there is an abundance of water for power.
 H. P. Elliott, one of the leading men of the company visited the property and remained on it all summer. He is greatly pleased with the showing.
