The Township Committee.

The communication in TIE News, last
week, with reference to the enforcing OF
ordinances caused much comment, and
there have been others offered, one of
which we give below. These articles are
from the pens of taxpayers and are gen.
uine. The general feeling is that the
committee wants to get busy and treat all
alike. If the ordinances are good let them
be enforced; if not, LET them be repealed
or crossed off the books.
An incident in connection with the acts
of the township committee has just been
reported. Some time since the hotel keep
ers on Washington street appealed for po-
lice protection on Saturday evening, and
after discussing the situation agreed to
pay any man the committee should name.
Mr.. Zelley suggested that Samuel Gaskill,
who is on duty at the Jail, would make
good officer. Thomas W. Nippins went
to see Gaskill and asked him if he could
get away on Saturday evenings. and on
being answered in the affirmative, Nippins
agreed to support Gaskill, but asked in re-
turn that the latter get Nippins put on the
jury for the next term of court.
Gaskill said it was not in his power to
grant such a request, and it was some
thing he did not do. Nippins left On
Friday evening the appointment of po-
lice officer was considered and Robert
Myers was given the place. Messrs. Eel
ley and Dill voted for Gaskill. 1t looks
as if things have come to a pretty pass
when a member of the Township Com
mittee gets to such pitch that he must
barter so small an office as a special po-
liceman.
The following communication is one of
those received since last Tuesday:
Editor Of The Nes0s:-Supplement to
the letter from That's ALL" in your last
weeks issue, will you kindly publish the
following
For at least two years certain sidewalk
on one of our side streets, belonging to
an influential man, has been in disgrace
full state of lack of repair.
Complaint in writing has twice been
made to the Township Committee, and
has brought neither results nor the cour-
tesy of reply.
Whether this attitude is caused by the
fact that the owner is an influential man,
or because the complainant is not infiuen-
tial, politically at least, bath not yet APP
peared, but as the small as we'll as the
great are required to pay for the luxury of
Township Committee, it would seem
that they should be entitled to some con-
sideration.
Also sidewalk in another portion of
the town is in bad shape and has been
complained of a number of times, but re-
suits are not yet visible to the naked eye.
If the committee would pay more at
tention to such matters as these, instead
of establishing new geades, and disturb
ing sidewalks that are in good repair, of
passing ordinance after ordinance merely
as pastime. when they apparently cannot
enforce what they already have, and of
inventing arguments to prevent the incor-
poration of the town as a borough, the
taxpayers would, in my opinion, feel
much more kindly disposed toward them
WAKE UP.

Florence came to Mount Holly on Sat
urday and did the home team up in great
shape. Klein, the famous Trenton pitcher,
was in the box for the visitors and only
one hit was secured off of his delivery.
And that tells the entire story. Mount
Holly could not hit, never could, and it
takes hits to win a game. This has been
commented upon the entire season, but
still there was no change As it was a
private affair and manager Lamb paid the
bills from his own pocket it was his own
business.
On Saturday Randall was in the
pitchers box for Mount Holly and he did
good work, In fact as compared with
Klein, the Mount Holly pitcher was far
superior, but Klein's support was of the
gilt edge order With no Fourth of July
celebrations on hand, and with an object
ahead of them the Florence boys can play
ball. The umpire on Saturday was Bill
Henry, an old hand at the business. He
gave one or two close decisions, both
against Mount Holly. Then Florence was
ahead all of the time and there was no
reason for them to quit, so they played to
a finish.

NEW HARTMAN LINE.
Another Road Added to Holdings OF
u p Magnate.

Reports from Texas say that evil
dence recently submitted before the
railroad commission of that state goes
20 show that control of the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico road has
passed from the Yoakum interests to
that of E. H. Hartman, who proposes
to add the road to the Texas system
Of the Southern Pacific.
It would be a most valuable ac-
QUESTION for the Southern Pacific, bur
Cor the present at least the report is
considered doubtful 1t is based on
che alleged disa greement of B. F.
Yoakum and the directors of the
property on certain policies regarding
che construction and operation of the
new road, in consequence of which
the Union Trust company eof New
York, the financial agents of the COM
pany, interfered and turned the con-
troll over to the Hartman interests.
Under the Texas laws the Southern
Pacific could not consolidate the road
with its Texas system, as it is paral-
lei and competing line to at least two
others of the Hartman system. The
new road penetrates one of the most
fertile sections of Texas. When COM
pIeted it will form a new route into
eastern Mexico.
1t was built for the express purpose
of being an important feeder for the
Rock Island-Frisco lines, which ex-
pected to obtain new connections
with Mexico over it. and it is altogeth
er unlikely that such powerful inter-
ests would allow such a valuable piece
of property to be wrested from their
grasp.

Chicago, Aug. "A movement is on
foot to secure a permanent Organiza-
ton to represent the shippers of the en-
tire west before the interstate COM
merce commission. Arrangements have
been made for a general conference to
be held here today of representatives
of every important commercial and
traffic association west of the great
lakes. The plan is said to have oTigi-
mated with E. B. Boyd, who is man
ager of the transportation department
of the Chicago board of trade. The
managers of the Illinois Manufacture
ers' Association, the Commercial club,
the Chicago Association of Commerce
and several other influential organiza-
tons in the west are heartily in sym
pathy with the movement
The conference is expected to place
It's approval upon the plan and to dis
cusS ways and means of best carrying
1t out. 1t is likely that it will be sug-
gested that all the commercial organi-
cations which care to join in the move
ment will unite in appointing an eXecu-
tive committee. or at least, commit
tee Which shall represent all shipping
interests 1t will be the duty of that
body to stand between the shippers and
the interstate commerce commission.
Those back of the plan explain that
whenever any question of Importance
TO the shippers and to the railroads
comes before the commission. the rail-
roads are always well represented, US
ually through the medium of their Vari-
Gus traffic organizations. On the other
hand. the shippers side of the case re-
mains unrepresented or depends upon
the disjointed efforts of some one who
may choose to attend. Even if there
is partial representation, it is claim
ed, the interests of the shippers are
likely to suffer by reason of the fact
that sectional view is presented to
the commission.

ROADS REBEL AT MAIL FINES.
Contend That Rule Is Unjust and
Oppressive.

Chicago, Aug. Owing to a series
Of alleged unjust orders, the western
with the pOstoffice department at
Washington over the transportation of
the mails The latest cause of griev
ance is the imposition of heavy fines
by the department for lateness of mail
delivery by nearly all the roads in the
west. Today an important conference
was held in Chicago relative to the
mail situation in general, and espe-
cially with reference to the fines
which are being imposed.
One railroad official declared that
the fines levied by the government
amounted to $4,000. and have been
such as to seriously threaten the
roads revenue for carrying the mails.
similar condition on several of the
trunk line systems in the west has
heen disclosed. and the railroad Of
ficials in charge of mail are discussing
what action it will be best to take.
The fines in question We're assessed
under new rule which went into eff
feet in July, 1906, but under which
the reports of the government for the
first and second quarter are just being
received by the railroads. To their
amazement. they find that they are in
danger of losing 15 per cent Of their
mail pay unless they revise their
schedules and place their mail trains
upon running time which they know
they can maintain in all seasons and
in all kinds of weather.
The new rule. it is claimed. is OPP
pressive and unjust. 1t provides that
if the msil train is late ten minues on
any route during a period of ninety
days the road shall be assessed in the
way of a fine Is per cent of the pay
for that route for the quarter. This

but if under that, then the department
makes the fine whatever it pleases,
but less than the maximum amount.
