Build Railroad Spur.
TOO NEAR SCHOOL.
Would Also Decrease Value of
Property inThat Locality May
Put In RemOnStranCe.

AT the last meeting of the Board
of Aldermen, j. H. Gregory, of High
street, who conducts the marine
graveyard at the foot of Brighton
avenue asked for permission to cross
South First street, South Second
street and Madison avenue with a
railroad spur. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee.
The residents and property own
ers on these streets object very much
to the permit being granted and at
the next meeting of the Aldermen
is understood that they will have
remonstrance in, requesting the
Council not to grant the permit to Mr..
Gregory. They claim that it would
lower the value of the property in
that section of the city, also that a
public school is at Paterson street
and Madison avenue. The pupils
are small children, who would often
play near a railroad and that acct
dents would be bound to happen.
In conversation with NEWS re-
porter a number of the residents of
these streets said that they would
oppose the granting Of the permit in
every way.
A spur through these streets from
the Central railroad to the Gregory
yard would be a great help to Mr.
Gregory but to no one else.
The matter of granting the permit
is in the hands of the street commit
tee. 1t is understood that they are
looking into it and that they will
make report at one of the coming
meetings of the aldermen.

INCREASE IN RATES.
Many Increases Made For PartiCu-
lar Properties in New Brunswick

New Brunswick, Aug. 12:Ths
practical application of the new
schedule of rates of fire insurance.
in effect July 10, shows that many
increases have been made in rates
for particular properties. while only
in a few cases have any material
reductions been made. The rates are
figured out for every building in the
city used for business and manu-
featuring purposes, and in some
cases increases of 100 per cent
over the old rates are enforced. There
has been a slight reduction in the
cost of dwelling-house insurance.
but the general effect of the change
in rates is to increase the cost Of
insuring business and manufactur-
ing property and contents.

worth its face value. We recognize
that our members who have passed
to middle age have been enjoying
protection for a per centage of ac-
tual cost, and that our liabilities
have only been met by drafts upon
| the emergency fund, and by the won-
derful yearly increase in member
ship.
Inspired by the fraternal feeling
that animates our membership we
feel than an effort should be made to
alleviate the hardship of the increase
of rates to many of our older mem
bers and prospective candidates for
the order. We do not feel, however.
that the younger members OF the
oder, who are entitled to the same
consideration as the Oldest should be
heavily taxed to met the deficiency
between the amount paid and the
| actual cost of insurance of the menu
bers. Such a course would only re-
suit in the swift decay and dissolu-
tion of the order.
we therefore, through our rep
resentatives request the Grand Coun-
Gil to instruct the representatives
of New Jersey to the Supreme Court
to work for a new readjustment Of
the new increase of rates that will
tend to tighten the burden, ii 1t can
be done, without prejudice or in
justice to the remainder of the Or
der"
Attached to this was resolution
offered by Bayonne Council.
Whereas the Supreme Gonacit RI
Royal Arcanum, at its recent ses-
sion, held at Atlantic City in May
1905, adopted a radical change OF
rates and directed that this new rate
should become operative upon men1-
bers of the order from and after
October 1, 1905, and whereas the
members of the order are absolutely
dissatisfied with the plan proposed
due largely to the attained age feat
ure, therefore be it resolved that It
is the sense of the Grand Council of
the State of New Jersey, in special
session assembled tlat the law Great
ing the new rates, as was promulgat-
OQ anu " 81 1AbO ClCCI OttOutA

Resolved that the representatives
