zenS OF the town to now adopt. and
that is to see to it that the new alder
men to be elected this fall, shall be
whether Democrats or Republicans,
men who are able and willing to inveS-
tigate this subject and to take such
steps as may be best lifted to produce
the necessary reforms,
This association has nothing to do
with politics, but it is deeply and
properly concerned in matters like the
present one and if thought wise, will
at the proper time, PROFOUND to all
candidates for membership in the new

dates upon the general subject.
(5) In other words, this lighting
question is now placed definitely and
positively in the hands of the voters.
Ii they are willing that present con-
ditiOnS Of service and cost should con-
tinue, it is their privilege to permit
them to do so; but if they desire re-
form, their only way to obtain it Is to
nominate and elect for Office the proper
men to bring it about.

Board of Aldermen, to say that in our
opinion the principal responsibility,
not only for such an inadequate report

the failure to remedy existing c0ndl-

Board at large. While we greatly re-
greet the failure of the Board to take
some definite action at its last meet

members have not had the same OPP

bend existing conditions as that which
has been afforded by the nature OF

DUSTLESS PAVEMENT SOLVED
Problem Worked Ont on Thomson
Avenue, L. 1. city. at Low
Cost for the Work.

One of the most important problems
in the maintenance of good roads is
the providing continuously of a smooth,
firm, elastic and dustless surface at all
seasons of the year. The maintenance
Of such service, upon which depends
the life of every macadam road as well
as its desirability and usefulness, is
being worked out successfully on
Thomson avenue, Long Island City, by
Highway Commissioner James p.
Hicks and Chief Engineer Frederick
Skene, who have been experimenting
with an application Of coal tar and
stone screening until they have proven
beyond all doubt that such coating
will last at least year under the very
heavy travel on that avenue, and that
at all times it is practically dustless,
firm, elastic and noiseless.
At first the cost was nearly prohib-
itory, as the tar was reduced to fluid
state by means of a stationary furnace
and the hot tar had to be carried from
point to point in pals, the cost i'm
creasing with the distance from the
furnace. Mr.. Skene has since invented
a portable furnace mounted on sub
stantial running gear and the tar in
the boiler is kept at a temperature Of
about 100 by heating appliance UNI
derneath it, BY means OF flash jet
lamp below the valve sprinkler, the
tar is made to flow much more easily
fnvfl
stuff is kept on the roadbed by means
of stiff brOOms, and the screenings are
Sprinkled on simultaneously. The cost
OF the work has been reduced to cents
per square yard or $3l7 per linear mile
for macadam surface il feet wide.
Over mile OF the roadbed has been
laid on Thomson avenue and the road
bed is said to be one Of the finest in the
whole city.

power, we regret that the opinion of
tne committees adviser on this point
was not made public. We confess our
own ignorance Of any statute or deciS-
ion preventing a municipal body from
acting on matters which extend be-
yonG its own term. The contrary view
Is taken daily by all SorbS of cities,
towns and boards; and II our position
were not correct, few far reaching
schemes of municipal improvement
could ever be undertaken, Indeed, If
the present lighting contracts expired
the day following the expiration OF the
Term OF office OF the present Board the
position taken in the committees re-
port would prevent any action looking
Toward their renewal from being TAX

darkness during such period as might
be required to obtain action by the in
coming body.

The regular meeting Of the board OF
freeholders was held last Wednesday
with all the freeholders present includ-
ing the new freeholder from Boonton

After the reading Of the minutes
Freeholder Schoneberger stated that
he had been criticised considerably for
letting a bridge contract at S1l.68 per
cubic yard for concrete but the yard
age Of the abutment walls at that sum
also included the building Of wing
walls and concrete floor for which
yardage had not been figured.
A petition for a state aid road in
F'lorham Park borough for a total
length Of three and half miles was
signed by fourteen persons.
The court house and jail committee
reported as follows: in jail at last re-
port II admitted, IS discharged, ~;
remaining, %.
The aims house committee present
ed the following statistics in aims
house at last report, "a; admitted
discharged, 2; remaining. 63.
In children's home at last report, SO;
discharged, /; remaining, So.
Chairman Schoneberger Of the road
committee said that he had expected
to make an explicit report on the Lin
coin Park road but the committee had
not made the necessary inspection and
the report must be put off to the next
meeting.
Bridge contracts were let as follows:
German Valley, at 1928 per yard; in
Mendham township near the railroad
&c j. Menagh at s4.62 per yard; repairs
10 cnlyert on road from Morris Plains
station to the hospital to A. J. Tours
at 5000; Florham Park toJ. B. Corbett
at $3.50. Bottom to culvert on Ford
avenue, Morristown, to Mooney &
Lyons for S196.
Freebooter Smith reported that the
low bidder for widening the Central
arch at Rockaway was M. J. Black at
81, TBS. -. Mr.. Birch had declared that
he bid on more work than his compe-
titor. Freeholder Moller moved that
the work be readvertised and it was so
ordered
Freebooter Prudden reported that
Jas. Brant was the only bidder for rail,
ing near the Packard place on the Mt.
Freedom road at nineteen cents. 1t
was recalled that railing on the same
road was put up at eleven cents. Mr..
Prudden replied that he had notified
the old contractor of the work but he
said he lost TOO much on the other job
TO figure again,
Freebooter Schoneberger stated that
several complaints had been made from
the upper end of the county that
stones, rails, ETC., had been thrown on
the county roads presumably to stop
auto speeding On his motion the
board offered standing reward Of S25
for the arrest and conviction Of any
body throwing stones, rails, etc, on
the county roads.
The matter of the trolley applica-
tion then came up and on motion Of
Freeholder Smith was laid over until
the special meeting to be held next
Wednesday for the letting of road re-
pair contracts

chatham On che Gas proposition.

Chatham on the Gas Proposition.
The Chatham common council had
visit last Monday night from the rep-
resentative Of the Public Service Cor
poration relative to the application
for a gas franchise made two or thEas
months ago. Mr.. Pettey was the
spokesman, and said that while he had
nothing new to offer he would like to
state that his company would not con-
slider franchise for any limited peri
cd, but would ask merely that an agree
ment be drawn up that the company
would not be inteffered with in laying
its mains. The company offered to
supply gas at Sl.25 net per 1000 cubic
feet, with reduction Of five cents per
year until a price Of slipper thousand
feet was reached.
The residents Of Chatham, Mr., Boyle
said, wanted gas for heating and cook
ing purposes, and he felt that they
should make an earnest endeavor to
get together on some plan before abanA
doning the matter altogether. AT hts
suggestion the matter was laid over
until the September meeting, and in
the meantime the committee which
has the matter in hand will make an
effort to come 20 terms with the COM
pany.
