COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

All the members Of City Council were
present at the stated meeting on Tuesday
evening except Mr.. Davis.
After the minutes were read and ap-
kproved, the West Centre street improve
hnent ordinance was taken up and after be
5ng read, Mr.. Cattell opposed its passage in
Fits present form. because the extension Of
the street across the Manley lot was, ac-
cording to map on file in the CLERK 8
Office, 10 foot street to jackson street,
hence, he argued, by adopting this 40 foot
street the city was giving away 80 feet Of
land now owned by the city. Mr.. Carter
explained that the street from the eastern
end Of the Manley lot, across the Manley
lot to jackson street, was 81 feet wide. On
motion Of Mr.. Kugler The ordinance was
laid oyer for two weeks. ~
Mr.. Avis reported that Judge Garrison
had refused the writ Of certiorari as applied
for by Mr.. Green.

Still Seeking Pierson Heirs.

The Knoxville attorney, Louis M. Gross,
is still prosecuting his inquiries for the UNI
breila repairer, John Pierson. He desires
bank officials in any part of the country
who can remember having deposits in the
bank from any John Pierson, in 1902, to
give him information as TO his drawing
checks thereon, in May, June and July,
1902, with she amounts thereof, and his
residence at that time, as in these months
he made deposits every few days in a Knox
vile bank in amounts ranging from $3.50. 90
to 100000. The letter asking for this in
formation was received by George E. Pier
son, of Woodbury., under date Of November
%, 1905.
The Pierson family about Sickleryille
have investigated their relationship TO de-
ceased, but George E. Pierson of this city
is Of the opinion that the age Of their miss
ing uncle is so much greater than deceased
that they cannot be considered. Deceased
was about so, while their uncle would have
been S4 in 1902. There is a suspicion here
that the mans name was Piece, as former
Woodburian named John Pierce has been
known to have been missing, while the
John Persons are all accounted for.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

At the November meeting Of the Board
of Education lasts Thursday evening, Mr..
Carpenter reported that the tin roofs Of The
school houses had been painted by Chas.
Marcus, whose bill was on the clerks desk.
He said that complaint had been made TO
him that the material used in this work
was of an inferior quality, in fact that it
was poor job, Mr.. c. said be had inform
ed Mr.. Marcus of these reports who brand
ed them as false, and said if it was not a
first class job he didn't want any pay for it.
He submitted samples Of the oil and me-
talic brown that he used, for inspection.
The property committee was authorized to
inspect the roofs before the bill was paid.
: fMr. Underwood moved that committee
be appointed by the chairman to select a
site for a new school house, and Messrs I'm
sderwood, Hughes and Carpenter were ap-
pointed. Mr.. Carpenter asked to be re-
lieved from service on this committee, as he
thought an entirely new committee from
the one that selected the Manley lot, should
be selected this time. Messrs. Underwood,
Hughes and Burkett, thought Mr. Carpen-
ter ahould remain on the committee, Mr..
Hughes asked to be relieved, because as
constituted the committee contained two
Third ward members and no member from
the Second ward. The President said that
while members were nominated by wards,
they were elected by the entire city and
that Mr.. Hughes objection was not good
one. There was no sectional division in
the Board, After paying salary bills the

Ahis consummation were instituted by

The Township Committee of East Green

Heritage and Dan'l Z. Packer, we're ap-
pointed commission to examine the road
and ascertain if the complaint was sustain
ed by the condition Of the road. This com
mission made its report on Monday, and
not only suDtained the complaint of the
twenty i've citizens but also that they

safe. Justice Cowgirl made an order that the
gates be thrown open. It is now incum-
bent in the stockholders to put the road up

gether at Swedesboro on Monday morning

display Of farm products was not even a
feature only few ears of corn and few
jars Of preserved fruits being on exhibition.

and gave very encouraging report of agri-
cultural conditions in our State Speaking

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

Franklin Dye presided at this session
and after few remarks introduced Prof
Voorhees, Of the N. J. State Experiment
Station who talked for an hour on green
manures VS.. commercial fertilizers He
also complimented the farmers on their ex.
hibit and thought it an evidence that they
knew how to grow crops.
Green manure, he said, should be used
mainly TO build up the soils, but there was
a tendency to exploit then beyond the point
where they where valuable. We get the
best results from fertilizer on good soils.
The open soil don't hold the fertilizer,
hence the introduction of vegetable matter
changes this, while compact soils are made
more porous. These are the primary func-
tions of green manures.
We must remember that plants cannot
live mineral food, and the amount Of nj
trogen your crops will gather is measured
! by the amount of mineral the soil will
supply them.
He advocated the use Of a small amount
of lime once in Eve OF six years.
Soils that are bare lose fertility, he there
I fore advocated covering land with catch
crops Crimson clover he considered the
best for use on our soil. It was not neces-
sary to allow it to mature, but turn is un-
der in early Spring. Cow peas is an i'm
portant soiling crop where corn, oats OF
wheat are 10 be grown.
Commercial fertilizers are the most I'M
portant adiuncts to our farming. Their diff
ference is in the value of the phos acid,
potash, and nitrogen they contain, nothing
else. The value of the substances is impor-
tant, and in order to get the best, select
! from the best sources.
In answer to question he said the best
time to apply lime was now. He had
no faith in commercial innoculation Of
soils.
As to the best fertilizer, every dealer, be
said, had the best. His own is the best
mixed, but you should remember the ques-
tion of proportion exerts little influence

was pealing i'll many places; also, there were
no joints in the work, and he was informed
that laid as it was it would crack from one
end to the other Taken as whole, be
said, it was not good job.
Mr.. Cattell, the other member of the
committee, stated his general objections,
and then he said all you had to do was to
go down and compare the work done there
with that done on Aberdeen Place by Mr..
Henry. That is all that is necessary. His
conclusion was that it was NOT done right.
Mr.. Hughes, one OF the contractors, said
the curb was cut with iron every eight feet.
He admitted it was a little rough, but the
material was there.
Mr.. Carter said that while possibly the
work is not as neat as some in town, but it
was not, in his opinion. bad enough to turn
down.
Mr. Chenoweth moved that the payment
OF this bill be laid over for two weeks to
give Council an opportunity to examine the
work Mr.. Kuglsr asked to have the con-
tract read, which was done.
Mr.. Cattell said the contract WASH I

gone far beyond the amount we had right
to expend without advertising for bids.
/ Payment of the cement bill for $277, was
laid over for two weeks.
A bill Of S426 40 for paying in the above
work, was brought up for payment, and
Mr.. Cattell opposed because it was an ac-
knowledgement that the work was correct,
and called for division, bnt the President
ruled otherwise, but later changed his rul-
