The tuberculosis SanitOriuIn.

The board Of managers have published
their third annual report, from which we
learn that they hope to have the building
at Glen Gardner ready for use by the end
OF the calandar year. The managers say
''The sum Of $500, 900 having been appro-
priated for the use Of the board by the
Legislature Of its last session, we have had
our architect, Mr.. George B. Post, revise
the plans drawn by him to insure that the
cost Of the buildings for the sanitorium
would fall within the limit set upon us
by the Legislature. Upon receipt of your
approval Of modified pans and speciiea-
tions we ADVERTISED fof bids for the construc-
tion Of the sanatorium in the manner pre-
scribed by law. and received three bids, the
Co. Limited, for the sum Of $161, 49, to
whom the contract for the erection and
construction Of the buildings proper has
been awarded With the sum still at our
disposal and available under the former
appropriation, we shall be able to proyide
for water-supply for the sanitorium and a
system of sewage disposal. Our plans call
for the construction Of an administration
building, aseryice building, and two ward
buildings, all of fre-proof construction.
The buildings are 50 arranged that the
sanatorium can be advantageously and
economically enlarged if the Legislature, in
its discretion, may, at any future time,
deem it for the interest of the State so
to do.'.

There Are No Recruits.

The recent disbanding Of the Grand
Army Post of Gloucester, as well as the
winding up of affairs of Geo W Taylor Post
at Junction, have served as vivid reminders
that the time is not far distant when the
great order must pass away. Unlike most
organizations, the 6. A. r. cannot be re-
cruited from the descendants of its original
members.
The Grand Army of the Republic was
started in 1866, the first post being organic
ed at Decatur, H., in April of that year by
Major B. F. Stepenson and Captain John
S. Phillips, but its growth was not at first
rapid 1t was not until more than ten
years later that General Grant became a
member, being mustered into George G.
Meade Post, No. l, of Philadelphia by Post
Commander George W. Deyinny. The
maximum membership was reached in 1890
when it 400, 4S9. For the last fifteen years
it has been steadily decreasing; not only
this, but the rate of decrease has steadily
grown.
The annual death rate among members
Of the orders in 1886 was so IN every 10, 900.
Today having gone up steadily through the
intervening years, it is 352 in 10000. In
1884 the membership Of the national body
had fallen to 1868, ,0S3; loss, since the per-
iod of maximum membership, of about 10,
600 year. In 1904, according to the last
annual report made at the encampment in
Boston last year, the membership was 246,
261 Showing loss since 1894 of more than
-, 600 year.
Employed in the various Government
departments in Washington at the time Of
the last annual report were 2, lis members
of the order, of whom 226 are over 70
years of age, 787 between IS and 20, and
/, 1888 between 58 and So years. But if the
Grand Army of the Republic must, from
the conditions set forth, soon cease to
exist, it will be remembered. by at least one
Of the institutions which have sprung from
it This is the Sons of Veterans, which is
composed of the direct descendants Of men
who were eligible to membership in the G,
A. R., and on the growth of which the
same restrictions have not been imposed.

STATE TAXING BOARD WILL ISSUE
CIRCULAR.

The state board of equalization of taxes
is about. to Issue circular of instructions
for the guidance cf assessors. With this
circular will be distributed the rules Of the
board regulating the practice on appeal.
The most important of the latter rules is
one extending to all districts the regulation
adopted last year as applicable to the larger
cities Of the state, that all assessments on
land and Improvements thereon should be
made separately. This rule does not apply
to farm land.
The other new rules are as follows:
whenever deduction for debt is claim
ed from the valuation Of personal property
on account of bona fde debt due and
owing by person in taxing district, and
the person or corporation to whom the in
debtedness is due resides in another taxing
district than the one in which the deduction
is claimed, it shall be the duty of the as
SCISSOR allowing the deduction forthwith to
notify the assessor in the other taxing dis
tricts of the name and address of the credit
or and direct him to make an assessment
for such debit
''It shall also be the duty Of the assessor
Of each taxing district in which bank is
located, the shares of which are held by
owners in any other taxing districts, to
notify the assessor of those other taxing
districts where such owners reside that such
bank shares are taxable in such taxing dis
tricts y

The people of Benaldsyille have good
reason for the vote of thanks extended 10
Frederick T 0lcett IN town meeting for
his gift to them of a public school build
ing and surrounding grounds. The build
ing is a fine structure of stone, standing
on an elevation to the north of the village,
and has cost 500, 600 or $25, 600 more than
was originally contemplated. The grounds
embrace some twenty-seven acres, and
these are to be laid ont in handsome park
for athletic games.
At the Easter services in the First Con-
gressional Church, Jersey City, the an
nouncement that Joseph Milbank had con-
tributed another 100000 for the erection
of the new buildings to be connected with
the Peoples Palace, was a pleasant sur
prise. This makes $500, 600 that Mr. Mil
bank has given to this enterprise, and will
enable the original plans for one of the
best institutions Of the kind to be fully
carried out.
! Charles G. Roebling, one OF Trenton s
wealthiest citizens, has sent his check for
$40, 900 to St. Francis Hospital in that
city. Trenton has three Of these Institutions,
all sustained by voluntary contributions,
and seriously hampeled in their usefulness
from time to time by lack of funds. Nc
money could be better bestowed. and it is
considered probable that Mr.. Roebling's
example will be followed by other rich
men.
And from Newark comes the news of the
proposition of member Of the Forest Hill
Presbyterian Church there to hand over to
the trustees $50, for the erection of a
new house Of worship, provided certain
conditions on their part are complied with.
In order that no delay shall be experienced
in the erection of the church, the entire
amount is Immediately available.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

BEER LICENSE ORDINANCE KILLED.
All the members of City Council were
present at the stated meeting Of Tuesday
evening last
After the minutes of the last regular
meeting had been read and approved, the
Wood street ordinance introduced at the.
last meeting, was taken up and read and
after being amended in some important
features, was passed by unanimous vote.
The ordinance to regulate the sale of
malt liquors in wholesale quantities was
next taken up and read Mr.. Cattell NOV
ed to fix the license fee at $500, Mr.. Kug-
Ter moved to make the fee $1,000; Mr.. Davis
moved to make the fee $4,000. All these
motions were seconded.
Mr.. Cattel opposed killing the ordinance
by such foolish motions as fixing the fee at
$4,000. If you want to kill it, be said,
kill it fair. A vote was then taken on the
$40, 900 fee and it was lost by the following
vote
Aye. Reading, DAVIS, Mnnyan. 3.
No. Cattell, Chenoweth, Glover, Kugler,
Pierson. 6.
The 81, 900 fee was then fixed by the fol-
lowing vote
Aye. DAVIS, Kugler, Munyan, Pierson,
Reading 5.
No. Cattell, Chenoweth, Glover. 3.
Mr.. Davis moved to amend by striking
out the enacting clause, because he did not
believe that by adding facilities to the
liquor trade we do anything to control the
liquor business
Mr.. Cattell then made an impassioned
plea for a law OF this kind, the points of
which were that we now have the traffic
without any revenue. Five beer wagons
come here every day, and are here all hours
Of the night, taking from. $500 to $500
weekly. The object of this ordinance was
to break up the wagon trafc and produce
revenue. He believed this ordinance
would also break up the poker dens and
speakeasies- 1t was an experiment, and If
1t failed 10 do TINS he would vote to repeal
it,
The vote was then taken, and the ordin-
ance was killed by the following vote
Aye. Burkett, Davis, Kugler, Munyan,
Pierson, Reading. 6.
No. Cattell, Chenoweth, Glover. 8.
The ordinance to repeal the Manley Lot
purchase ordinance, introduced at the last
meeting, was brought up. A motion to
refer same to the City Solicitor, for an
opinion as to the status Of the case, was
adopted by the following yotes:-
Aye. Chenoweth, Davis, Kugler, Pier
son, Reading.-5
No. Burkett, Cattell, Glover, Munyan.
