The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1905-06-13

a FEW years ago the architects OF
the State secured the passage OF a law
regulating the practice Of that pro-
fession in the State, with license fees,
etc. Out of this grew the New Jersey
Chapter of the American Institute OF
Architects. Everybody naturally sup
posed that the object of the associa-
ton was to see that all buildings
erected in the State should conform
to the laws of harmony and good taste
and incidentally some architect lfave
an income from holding the position
of Secretary, at least sufficient to pay
his Office expenses. But now we learn
that the association has assumed new
duties and proposes to employ counsel
and proceed to an investigation OF the
powers and actual jurisdiction OF State
Commissioner of Charities and Cor
rection, Rev. George B. Wight, and
his assistant, George E. Poole. The
architects grievance is that they are
deprived of chance to get dip into
the State Treasury through placing
the planning and building Of State
buildings under the charge OF the COM
mission and his assistant, who is a
professional architect. The New Jer-
sey chapter won't make much OF a
book in such proceeding as they talk
Of. Things have come to a pretty pass
if the State cannot employ an archi-
tect as an official to look after its pub
lie buildings without being bled in
having to pay big prices for plans and
heavy percentages for supervising
them when being carried out. But
what authority has the chapter or any
of its verses to interpose objection to
the people providing through its law
makers for supervision and planning
of the public buildings? If it is con-
tanned in the act creating a State
Board of Architects the act should be
promptly repealed by the next Legis-
lature. The State has been heavily
mulcted by architects in the past, and
proposition to be free from such exac-
ton in the future will meet with the
Endorsement of every citizen who be-
lieves in economic government, pro
vided always, that the State has in its
service competent official to plan
and superintend new buildings and
additions to old ones. The new as
sistant commissioner has already
saved the State $4,000 that would
have gone to some combine of archi-
tects, perhaps, and that is only an
item Of the great expense he will
probably rescue the treasury from dur
ing his incumbency.

AMONG the curiosities exhibited in
the Philadelphia Exposition, which
was held in the centennial year Of
1876, was telephone constructed by
Professor Bell. Two years later tele-
phones were introduced in an expert
mental way in Wall street. 1t is.
therefore, less than thirty years since
the telephone was invented. Never
theless, to-day it is in almost universal
use throughout the world, and at a
rough estimate there are probably six
billion telephone messages transmitted
in the chief countries in a single year.
The number of exchange connections
of the principal company of the Uni
ted States last year was over one-half
that sum. 1t is perhaps not generally
known that the telephone was made a
commercial success by a Morristown
man, Theodore Vail, a nephew Of All
fred Vail who did so much to develop
the telegraph.

Two township committeeman in
Burlington county have resigned, be-
cause they are tired of the criticism
and abuse that have been heaped upon
them and the other members of the
committee by persons who were dis
satisfied with their official action. The
wonder is that more members OF mu-
nicipal boards do not resign for the
same reason. They give freely of
their time and ability, and the only
return they get is the satisfaction of
knowing that they have tried to serve
their fellows. They deserve common
dation instead Of abuse, but seldom
get it. They are classed as corrupt
and selfish by unthinking persons.
The fact is that but very small per-
centage of municipal legislators are
crooked, and the most persistent
kicker and obstruetionist renders good
service to the people in checking hasty
and ill-considered action.

IT is unfortunate that one Of the
most prominent lawyers in the State
should be let off with a fine when he
is caught deliberately breaking the
law. But as the average corporation
lawyer is supposed to be an adept in
ways of getting around the law the
simple matter Of running over it with
an automobile don't count. A promi-
|nent political leader lately remarked
That his principal occupation at the
present time was to keep his friends
from being arrested for speeding their
automobiles

OBITUARY.
AMIpEE BoIsAUBIN.

Amidee Boisaubin died very sudden
ly on Wednesday evening at the Uni
ted States Hotel, where he had been
boarding for some time. He was
about town all day, but complained Of
not feeling well and visited a doctor
about his condition, yet none of his
friends thought the end was so near.
He was seyenty-two years Of age, was
born at Madison, but for many years
resided in Morristown but always
wishing to end his days in the old
house at Madison, where his relatives
had resided. He was descendent Of
one of the old French families which
settled her years ago, the colony in
Guiding the Thebauds, Beauplands,
Blanchetts and Boisaubins.
Very recently the deceased was
willed an annuity by a deceased rela-
tive.

! ONLY one LAW.


For the past year or more the au-
thorities in nearly all Of the. boroughs,
townships and cities in the State have
been busy formulating automobile or
dinances. When Governor Stokes
signed the bill which is now the auto
mobile law for New Jersey that act
also wiped out all the ordinances
passed by local governments. The
main features of the new law in brief
are as follows:
Automobiles must display New
Jersey license numbers on both front
and back Of their machines.
These numbers must be in figures
four inches in height in place of three
inches as formerly.
At night the license numbers must
be displayed on the sides of the lamps
figures one inch in height.
No other State numbers may be car
ried in New Jersey.
The penalty for violation Of this law
will be a fine not exceeding SIS, unless
the violation be wilful, then it may be
as high as $50.
The speed limit on any street or
road is one mile in three minutes, but
due regard must be observed for the
safety of other users of the highways.

THE Paterson !" Press" in an article
on the protest Of the architects against
the assistant commissioner of chart
ties, George e. Poole, drawing plans
for public buildings, says The pur-
pose of the new law was economical,
but it is open to doubt whether it
would in the long run prove to be wise
for the State to commit the planning
and supervision of all it's erections to
an official architect. The United
States government made a wretched
failure in precisely such a system.
Mr.. Poole is the architect who has had
charge of all the extensions and inn
proyements at the State House dur
ing the past few years While this
is true in sense it is unfair. Mr..
Poole was the architect Of the new
addition for the Assembly chamber,
which is entirely satisfactory to every
one. He did not draw the plans for
the new Senate chamber, although he
was the supervising architect Be
fore the work was commenced he told
the State House commission that the
building would be unsatisfactory, and
tried, without avail, to have the plans
changed. II his protests had been
needed the present cramped and in
convenient building would have been
constructed along different lines.

RURAL free delivery is a plant of as
tonishingly rapid growth. On June
there were 81 1876 mail routes in active
service in the country, and new routes
are being added at the rate of six hum
dred month. Nearly five thousand
applications for the service are now on
file in the postotfice department. The
carrying of the mails is the one great
departmental service of the govern
ment in which all the people are di-
rectly interested. 1t costs about $780,
100000 a year to serve the country
with mails, and the rapid increase of
the rural delivery system will add very
largely to the annual expenditures for
postal matters, but the people are
willing that the expenditure be made.

THE annual report Of the New Jer

THE annual report of the New Jer-
sey Firemen's Home for 1904 shows
the number of inmates to have been
twenty-six, who were maintained at
an expense of Sll4.59 per man. The
product of the farm amounted to 81
'928.40, which, however, only yielded a
net profit of S2S5.92. The receipts
from the State Insurance Commits
sioner were $40, 500, the principal con-
tribution to the maintenance fund.
The report indicates that the home is
well managed and fulfilling the bene-
VIOLENT purpose for which it was in
tended.

ARE people naturally dishonest
From the Ocean Grove Times we
learn that orders have been issued by
the authorities that all homes must
be supplied with water meters. 1t
has been found that even in that head
quarters for all thatis good the peo-
pie generally are very careless about
using the public water when paid for
at a lump rate, but as soon as meters
are installed the amount Of water is
very much decreased. A givenamount
Of water pumped into the stand
pipe goes much further than when
there were no meters. Strange what
difference a little personal interest
makes in a matter OF this character.

THE question whether a woman has
natural or legal right to refuse to
tell her age is in a fair way to be
settled in the courts. The students
Of Smiths College resolved that they
would never, never answer the ques-
tions of the State census enumerator.
After fruitless effort the enumeration
appointed some of the young lady stu
dents as assistants, but that plan did
not work. Then a special agent was
sent to the college with power to COM
pei the answering of the questions and
the outcome is waited with much in
crest. The authorities say the stu
dents must answer or go to jail. Evil
IDENTIFY the young ladies of Smiths
make a distinction between formal
statement and the pleasant fiction
with which they usually surround the
facts of their personal history.

WHEN the last Federal census OF
New Jersey was taken in 1900, the
State bad a population of 1,8S3,659.
The guessers are busy, and there are
many predictions as to what the
enumerators will show when the pres
ent census is completed. 1t is be-
lieyed that since 1900 the increase has
been slightly in excess Of the preced-
ing decade, and that The total for this
year will be about 2, 100000

money, will be obliged to act.
