erty owners if Boards of Health agree

STATE ROBBED
OF ITS LANDS

TRENTON, Mar. @21:-The. Joint
Legislative Committee appointed 10
investigate the State Board OF Rlpar-
ian Commissioners, reported yester-
day. The report says:
1.-The committee believes the EVIL
dence shows a lax and, to say the
least, a questionable administration
of the riparian interests or ne STATE
both as to policy and practice.
From the testimony 1t would ap-
near that originally the doctrine OF
the states ownership of its lands UNI
der water, not being well established,
the question was treated literally and
with a desire to foster and encourage
industries.
This policy resulted, according to
the report, in the greater and more
valuable part of the riparian rights
of the state being disposed at nomin-
al sums, and irrevocably diverted
from the school fund. It was also
developed that some of the riparian
commissioners were directly interest
ed in the grants. The report says the
state has been deprived in this way
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
which should have gone into the
school fund, as provided by law.
In order to bring about simplicity
and economy, it is recommended. that
there be consolidated into one re-
sponsiblRboard the riparian commits
sion and several other existing and
projected commissions which will
have in charge important and kind
red interests of the state.
Senator Milburn files this minority
recommendation:
II agree with the foregoing report
excepting as to the recommendations
concerning grants. l would limit the
making of grants to lands upon which
manufacturing plants are to be erect
ed. In other cases / would limit the
riparian commission to the making OF
leases"

ord unless the receipt thereof is duly

the bill ought to pass. He said: I'm
der present conditions, a man who
has stolen a mortgage may cancel it

edge the receipt of the mortgage"

nal combustion engine of 5000 horse
power, of 10000 horse power in all.
The endurance of the destroyer is 81
900 miles at a speed of thirty knots,
and her top notch speed is to be
thirty-three knots. Carrying a heav-
Ter armament than ever before in
stalled on a wal vessel of similar
size, the destroyer will mount FIVE
inch riied cannon, besides an unusual
number of torpedo tubes and small
rapid fire guns.
While Mr.. Nixon for the present
keeps silent as to the nation for
which the destroyer is to be built, 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose that.
the Russian government, for which,
he constructed a torpedo fleet, is at
least interested.
Il said at the dinner the other
ing vessels l wished to build one to
cross the Atlantic in four days or bet
ter, and l am going to do it," said MI.
Nixon. THE displacement is less
than 1000 tons; the speed SO knots;
the endurance at 80 knots, 5000
miles. At an economical speed the
vessel could cruise 10000 knots.
While this first vessel is for war
purposes, it is only a question of
adaptation forA ships for passenger
purposes. For a ship of the type of
the Kronprinz Wilhelm of the North
German Lloyd feet, l should recon-
mend 100000 horse power to obtain
the same results-that is, a four-day
boat. Such a ship would consume on
ly 500 tons a day of liquid fuel
Mr.. Nixon called attention to the
four masted schooner Northland, of
Rockland, Me-, which is equipped
with a 500 horse power standard II
CINE, the largest type of marine in
ternal connection engine now in COM
mercial use. The owners of this, yes
sci have given orders for the build
ing of five more to be fitted with en-
gines of $50 horse power. The
Northland goes along. 1t a six-knot
speed with her engine power alone,
and has a carrying capacity of three
thousand tons, while the new schoon-
ers will carry five thousand tons.
Compared with the Deutschland,
of the Hamburg-American line, the
fastest vessel to yer make the trans
atlantic trip, which has a record
speed of 1886 knots an hour, the
new four-day boat will be less than
o~ne-eighth the displacement Of the
great liner.
Mr.. Nixon said further: THE

pany. builders of gas engines OF the
Riotte patents, of which company l
am president, has recently acquired a
tract of about twelve acres in Totem
vile upon which it will erect a plant
to take care OF the orders which now

water front and basin, will be de-
voted to marine work"

URGES REFERENDUM
CLAUSE IN BILL,

TRENTON, Mar. 2;-Governor
Stokes sent to both houses of the leg
~islature yesterday a special message
calling attention to the numerous
bills now pending on the question of
division and annexation of territory
among the various municipalities of
the state. He says a referendum
clause should be embodied in every
bill providing for the annexation or
division of property; that when two
or more municipalities are to be an
nexed the people of each should be
allowed to vote on the question, and
that no municipality should be forced
into annexation without the consent
of the majority of the voters of the
place; that when a part of the terri
tory of a municipality is to be taken
from or to be made into another
municipality the people of the mum
icipality affected should have the
right to vote upon the question, and
the referendum should not be con-
fined to the people of the seeding or
separating territory, to the end that
all the people may protect their
rights.
