New County proposed.

A movement is now on foot to form
a new county in this state. 1t is plan
lned to take Pequannock Township
and Butler Borough from Morris Coun-
| ty. Hohokus and Franklin townships
from Bergen County and Pompton and
Wayne townships from PaSsaic Coun-
ty to form the new county. The coun-
| ty seat. according to the prospectors
Of the scheme, is to be at Pompton
Lakes.
This section lies along the Pequan-
mock River from Butler down. Several
well known men in each of the town
ships mentioned are behind the move
ment, and they expect to introduce a
bill in the next Legislature for the
Formation of the new county.
For long time dissatisfaction has
been felt in Butler because it takes an
entire day to travel to Morristown,
the county seat, file legal document
an6 return. This is due to an indirect
railroad route. The same conditions
exist in Oakland Borough and Frank
lin and Hohokus townships, in Bergen
county.
AS an argument against the propOS-
ition it is said that it would greatly
| Increase the taxes in the section em-
braced in the proposed new county I
Hines, but this the advocates Of the
plan deny, asserting that after the
first five years the taxes would be less
Than they are at present. There are
many in the Butler and Oakland sec
tion who think the present disad want
ages of their geographical position
could be renedied by simply changing
the boundary lines Of Morris anc
Bergen counties, putting the sections
mentioned in Passaic County.
1t is safe to assume that the LegiSla
Lure will not agree to any new county
| proposition under the present senator
! ial representation by counties.

The other ten of the original four

future, and. while they are still kept

being handcuffed TO the walls. The
four men who are still being punished,
however. are in an exceedingly ugly

NO REPORT FROM JURY
Federal Grand Jurors Have Made NO
Return to Court

No report was made 70 the Federal
court Saturday ny the grand jury, and
il is now stated authoritatively that
none of the indictments. or which
there are said 10 have been i've or
six already found by the grand jury,
Will be returned to the court until the
Jury is through with its deliberations
and a final report is submitted.
During the five days that the grand
Jury was in session last week there
were 90 witnesses examined. the great
majority OF whom were business men
acquainted with the shipping rates of
The railroads and others either en-.
gagged in the coal business or In close
touch with it. That important sub
jects arc under investigation by this
grand jury may be assumed by the
fact that it is making a record for its
diligence in so far as the number of
hours that have been put in each day
during the past week.
The jury will convene again Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which time
tho witnesses who were subpoenied for
Friday and were not called will
probably be examined. There are also
some witnesses who have been- served
with summons TO appear on Tuesday.
While all officials about the Federal
building are non-commital about every.
thing concerning the grand jury. sew
eral OF them were free TO admit Satur-
day that it is the most important
grand jury that has been called since
Statehood.
