EXAMPLE OF R. R. TAXATION
How it Effects tine Small Roads Run
ming out Of MorrIstown.

ming Out of MorrEstown.
An illustration Of the workings OF
the new law passed last winter by
which the main stem railroads are
taxed at the average rate of the tax
ing districts of the State, is shown in
the case of the Morristown & Erie r.
r. between here and Essex Fells. The
bills have been sent out and tine Nc
Evan road is assessed at the rate OF
/ 81. 80 per $780, The road runs through
three municipalities in Morris county,
Morristown with rate Of $1.65 per
800; Morris township with a rate Of
81. % and HanOYer township with
rate of Sl.2O. In Essex county the
road crosses livingston town
ships and Essex Fells borough
Here the taxes are not much higher
than in Morris. 1t will be seen that
under the law. the little road pays
about sixty cents more per 800 in the
townships than the owners Of it have
to pay for land they own individually
and the second class property pays a
less rate in all the Morris county mum
icipalities 1t is all right for the big
roads which run through the populos
cities and get the advantage OF po-
lice and other service, but the little
fellow who starts line to help the
VILLAGES or towns In his region has to
pay.
The New Jersey & Pennsylvania
could better afford to pay the local
rate than the average, as it runs
through Morris township, Mendham
township, Mendham borough and
Chester township, the rates being re-
spectively sl.22, Sl.S7, sl.6l and Sl.6l,
only Mendham township having a rate
more than the average State rate and
that only seven cents.

tone or is finished with greater care of
details; indeed, many competent judges
affirm that the Lauter Piano, taking
everything into consideration, is the
finest now manufactured.
Very many people are considering
the advisability Of selection at once for
Christmas delivery, and several pianos
have actually been set aside already for
delivery on December oath. The adj
vantage Of early selection is Self-evi-.
dent. Is not this hint of value to you ?

SEWERAGE CHANGES PLANNED.
Merchants' Committee Wants Dispos-

Merchants, Committee Wants Dispos-
al Plants or Filter Beds built.
The committee Of the Merchants
Association formed to make war
against the pollution Of our water
ways by sewage and other means OF
corruption is making an examination
into the legal aspects Of the question.
One Of the first objects OF attack will
be the proposed Bronx sewer, which
would empty its efiuent in the Bronx
River.
The sewer is intended to drain the
the towns of White Plains, Bronx
vile, Mount Vernon, and the eastern
section of Yonkers. The committee
suggests as a better alternative the
construction of disposal plants or OF
filter beds, as has been done at Sara
toga and Albany.
Every effort will be putforth also In
opposition to the gigantic trunk sew
er through Northeastern New Jersey
which would carry the refuse Of New
ark, Paterson, and other towns right
into New York Bay. Recent harbol
soundings have proved that the entire
effiuent is not carried oceanward, fol
a bed Of refuse fifteen feet thick has
been found near Governors Island
The remedies proposed as a solution
of the entire problem are sewage dis
posal plants or filter beds for every
community.
The committee consists of the
Chairman, Edward Hatch, Jr., o.
Lord & Taylor j P. Morgan, George
| G. Whipple, an eminent chemist anc
an authority on the disposal of sew
age, all of New York; j Y. Colyer,
civil engineer, of Brooklyn, and DR.

The Summit board Of trade has
adopted a resolution asking the Lack
awanna for additional train service
which might easily be seconded. An
additional train in the morning, a
train for New York between 500 and

one is too early and the other too late
for passengers to reach the theatre in
time. Morristown has worse growl
in this respect for there is difference
here between the $40 and CAT, an adj
ditional express leaving New York at
$50 p. M, also needed here badly is a
train leaving the city between the
9.15 and 1855, In the last case Nor

west Orange water supply.

There was conference Thursday
night between Q. 2. Bassett, presi-
dent of the West Orange Water Com
pany branch at the Summit Com
pany and the officials of West Orange
over proposal from the water com.
pany for the town to take over the
company's pipe line and equipment.
The town is at the present time con-
sidering the municipal ownership OF
its water system, and Mr.. Bassett has
offere the company's holdings for a
sum of 1885, approximately He
offers then to conduct the enterprise
for the town for three years and prom
ises sufficient revenue to pay all ex-
penses, interest on bonds, and put
money in the sinking fund annually.
The town officials feel they can dupli-
cate the system for about 100000,
and the only feature that concerns
them in the offer OF the water COM
pany which now furnishes the supply
is the removal Of the corporation as a
possible competitor.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY President Roosevelt and Governor
Stokes.

BY President Roosevelt and Governor
Stokes.
The time OF year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
OF our forefathers, it becomes my du-
ty to set aside q special day Of
thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because Of the blessings we
have received, and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread well
being has passed. Never before In
our history or in the history Of any
other nation has people enjoyed
more abounding material prosperity
than is ours; q prosperity SO gener-
al chat it sho' Id arouse in us no spir-
it of reckless pride, and, least Of all,
spirit Of needless disregard Of our
responsibilities, but rather a sober
sense of our many blessings, and a
resolute purpose under Providence,
not to forfeit them by any action Of
our own.
Material well being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything
but the foundation Of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation. then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as house where only
the foundation has been laid Upon
our material well being must be built
superstructure of individual and ma
tional life lived in accordance with
the laws of the highest morality, or
else our prosperity itself win in the
long run turn out curse instead OF
blessing. We should be both rever.
entity thankful for what we have re
ceived and earnestly bent upon turn
ing it into a means of grace and not
of destruction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday, the twenty-ninth day OF
November next, as day of thanks
giving and supplication, on which the
people shall meet in their homes OF
their churches, devoutly acknowledge
all that has been given them, and tc
pray that they may in addition re
ceive the power TO use these glfts
arlsne.
