TWO SIDES TO THE CASE.
The Sewer Engineers Answers Mr..
OWENS Criticism.

The Sewer Engineers Answers Mr..
OWENS Criticism.
Our atten zion has been called to a
report by James Owen recently pub
lished in THE CHRONICLE on the con-
dition Of the streets over the sewer
bitches. We are forced to the con-
clusion that this report was made af-
ter hasty and Intellectual examina-
tion of the roads and a superficial
knowledge of the specifications for the
reason that the specifications govern
ing the sewer work are being carried
out as nearly to the letter as any en-
gineering can be done. There is an in
spector employed by the Board Of
Sewerage over each piece of work with
absolute instructions to carry out the
specifications. These inspectors are
citizens of Morristown, chosen for their
fitness for the work in hand. So far as
we know no criticism has been made
Of the integrity of single one of them
nor has any one of them been pointed
out as being incompetent.
Under the terms Of the specifications
the contract for the sewers is nou finish
ed and the roads are not yet turned
over to the public as completed, and
until they are so such reports are mis-
placed and uncalled for and are on a
par with other criticisms of unfinish-
ed public work of any kind. Would it
not. be more consistant to criticise the
bitches of the various public utilities
companies that are offered to public
ascomplete and in good condition? ?
The various criticisms that have
been made of the sewer work from
time to time, recall the story of the
skeptical old countryman and his wife
who travelled to the city to see a rail
road train for the first time. When
they arrived at the depot the train
was standing on the siding. The old
gentleman thidking it had been built
there looked it all over carefully and
noting its ponderous size, with a wise
look said, mother they'll never start
her." When schedule time arrived
for leaving the engineer opened the
throttle and the train began to move
gathering headway rapidly. The old
man logged along side as long as he
could keep up and when it pulled past
him he mOpped his face with his ban
danna and as the train disappeared re-
marked, "m0ther they'll never stop
her."
The sewer work was started in spite
of the predictions OF the old country
man and will, we hope, be finished in
due season.
Respectfully,
WILLIAMS, PROCTOR g. PoTTs,

TWO HURT IN RUNAWAY
Daniel knight Thrown out and Fred
Day Dragged BY Auto.

Danles AniSnC 1nrOWn O1G ana FRED
Day Dragged by Auto.
There was an exciting runaway on
Thursday about two b. m. when a
team belonging to j. T. Lamerson and
attached to dirt rigging ran away
from near the Trust Company. Dan
lei Knight of the Morristown School
was trying the team and kept the
animals in the road until the South
Street Presbyterian Church was
reached where they took to the side
walk breaking several flag stones and
barking tree or so. The dirt body
had become loosened before this and
the seat and one side were left near
the church while other pieces kept
dropping. Knight kept on until DR..
Connett's house was passed, where he
turned the team into the Butterworth
lot and fell out of what was left OF the
wagon. The horses proceeded to Boy
kin street where they ran into pole
breaking the wagon. Only Two boards
OF the bottom were left by this time.
Knight after falling out started to
run after the horses but was SO hurtth
he had to be taken into Dr. Connett's
office and later to Memorial Hospital.
He was badly bruised and scraped but
no bones were broken.
w. f. Day, Jr. started in his auto
mobile after the runaway and Fred M.
Day tried to jump on back but slipped
and one Of his legs caught In hook at
the back of the machine. He was
dragged for some distance before his
predicament was discovered and the
machine stopped. He also visited a
physician for his wound.
The team is the same one that ran
away with load of Parkside baseball
players on the way to Mendham two
weeks ago and has figured in one or
two other runawayS.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Harry N. Butterfield, the present
district passenger agent Of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad, in Newark, will 60 to
San Francisco next month to open
there a new freight and passenger
agency of the Lackawanna, through
which the business of the Pacific coast
will be handled. Heretofore the Lack
awanna has handled its Western busi-
ness in conjunction with other rail-
roads. The Inauguration of an inde-
pendent office by the Lackawanna is
a radical departure from the policy of
the Eastern railroads looking after a
share of the freight and passenger
business of the Pacific slope, and the
Lackawanna will be the only road
maintaining its individuality in that
section of the country. Its existing
agency arrangements will be Cancelled
September l. J. Lewis Smith, division
passenger agent, of Syracuse, N. Y,
will succeed Mr.. Butterfeld in the
Newark office. Mr.. Butterfield was
formerly travelling passenger agent for
the road in the West, and is acquaint-
ed with the territory and conditions
of the country where he will have
charge.
The Railway Valley Railroad Com
pany has received notification of the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in which the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad is
directed TO install by September l.,
1908, two switches, known as the east
and west switches. on its line at Sum.
NIT where the tracks of the Railway
Valley Railroad can be connected. The
only condition being that the location
of the easterly switch, which is to es-
tablish the connection at point
about $50 yards west of the Lacka-
wanna freight yard, is to be maintained
until the connection can be shown to
interfere with the third track system
which the Lackawanna has argued it
expected to install through the city.
The location of the easterly switch
connection, which is to be at point
about fifty yards west Of the Lacka-
wanna freight yard, is made perma.
nent by the order OF the commission.
