MorriStoWn, Dec. 3lSt, 1906.
To THE EDITORS OF THE CHRONICLE .
at mass meeting called by Mayor
Reed, Wednesday evening, December
18th, to consider the subject of Morris.
town lighting, a statement was made
by the president of the Morristown
Gas Light Co. to the effect:
No dividends had been declared on
the stock during the last five years.
but all profits had been put into per-
manent improvement, such as new ap-
paratus for the plant, re-laying of new
piping. etc.
We were further told that the plant
when purchased some five years ago by
certain gentlemen, the speaker being
one, was in dilapidated condition.
and the pipes throughout the town
were badly corroded.
Now, why should the consumers. of
gas in Morristown pay the exorbitant
price of 81 rs, or 56c more than they
should pay per M cubic feet, Just to
help these gentlemen, after they had
mace bad purchase. to put this plant
in running order, whereas, if new
company had come to Morristown five
years ago and built modern plant,
they would have been enabled to sup
ply gas az that time in all probability
at Sl.25, and made money at that.
The gas users of Morrlstown, by pay
ing this excess, for gas, to go into the
reinstatement OF the gas plant, ought
all theoretically to be shareholders in
the company to just that extent of the
excess they are paying.
There was saying in Brooklyn few
years ago, when your gas bill increased,
buy Brooklyn gas stock. We hardly
believe the present owners of the Nor
ristown Gas Company will allow con-
sumers to do this, though it might be
one way to get even.
We were also told that there would
probably be reduction of 25c in the
rate. commencing this month. What
we ought to have is a SOC reduction,
and the people of Morristown should
insist upon it. We do not care what
the extraordinary expenses might have
been and are on this plant in Norris
town, but we are interested in know
ing that we can have gas for 81. 25 at
any time from another company. Let
the stockholders of the Gas Company
themselves pay for the necessary i'm
provements, then they could afford to
reduce the price to $l.25.
Yours truly,

EDITORS of THE CHRONICLE,
Morristown, New Jersey.
My Dear Sirs:
| think it is matter of great inn
portance that some steps should be
taken to safeguard in a more efficient
manner the railroad crossing at Elm
street and Morris avenue of the Lack
awanfla tracks.
AS is well-known to all the resi-
dents, we have there two faithful old
men who do their very best to protect
the people from danger and to give
proper warning to persons who are
about to cross the tracks, but not
withstanding all that, a member of
my family and two other persons came
within three feet of being killed at
this very spot on last Friday evening
shortly after 5 O'Clock. [ have com
municated the facts to His Honor,
Mayor Reed, and he stated he would
write to President TrueSdale, but not
withstanding this and the general
conviction that things are bad there.
public sentiment should be aroused
sufficiently to set up some better form
of protection.
/ am informed that at one time
there were gates at this crossing, but
chat they did not serve the purpose
and the reasons why they did not have
been explained to me, but neyerthe-
less l feel very strongly that some
kind OF gate or gates can be and
should be erected before some serious
accident occurs. / think | am safe in
saying that over this crossing there
passes every day more vehicles than
any other crossings on this branch of
the Lackawanna road, all of which
other crossings are protected by gates.
After nightfall, when it is necessary
to light the lights, it is practically
impossible to know whether it is safe
to cross or not as any moment train
from New York may bear down on YOU.
l have personally reported the facts
of the narrow escape OF my family to
President Truesdale and have warned
him OF my conviction that some day a
horrible catastrophe will occur at this
point and he and his directors Will be
responsible for it.
| wish some of our good townspeo-
pie would take up this matter and en-
deayor to arouse sufficient public SEN
timent to force the Railroad Company
to do something more than they are
doing at present. Possibly you can
inform me who the railroad commits
sioners are. 1t has occurred to me
that they should look into this matter.
Yours very truly,
b. OGDEN CHIsoLM.

RECITAL PLEASED
Organ and Vocal Concert Last
Monday Evening

The organ recital given on the
new pipe organ in the new Congrega-
tional church by Prof. George W.
Andrews Of Oberlin Conservatory OF
Music last Monday evening was one
OF the rare treats of the season.
Assisted by Miss Adah NJ. Castor OF
Denver, soprano, the concert was
highly artistic. Miss Castor won her
audience from the start with her
singing of "Hear Ye, Israel" from
Mendelssohn's "Elijah. >" Her second
appearance on the program, IN a
number of Scotch songs, was to most
of the audience. even more pleasing.
1t would take an educated musi-
elan to fairly criticise the work OF
Prof. Andrews on the pipe organ.
1t is doubtful II there are over hal1
a dozen persons in Greeley quallheo
to do this and none of these happens
to be working on the Tribune. 10
most of us the music was simply a
succession of sweet and pleasing
sounds coming from the organ. Inc
program was classical, but that ala
not prevent it being pleasing. Ihat
it pleased was evidenced by tie close
attention given every number oy
practically every body there.
1t would be splendid thing LOT

in Greeley to have many such con-

Green made a short address of welcome and Charles Wertz delivered au excellent talk on the history of the order. Judge Ogletree of De Queen and Hon. Henry Rector of Fort Smith each made strong talks on behalf of the order. After the secret work was finished the mem mbers and their families, together with a large delegation of Knights and their families from De Queen, as well as visiting members from other points, adjourned to the reception hall, where they enjoyed light refreshments which had been duly prepared for the occa- sion.
