Sixtieth Congress.
Washington, Jan. 16.
SENATE.


Senator DapOnt (tepu. DAD, was
today appointed a member Of the Senate
committee on military affairs. There Is
criticism Of the assignment because of
Dupoufs connection with the powder
trust which furnishes the government
with sll OF its powder, smokeless and
otherwise, aud charges its own price for
it. For years before be came to the
Senate Dupont was the president Of this
trust. He says be has now retired from
all participation in its management. As
a member Of the military committee he
will assis. in preparing the army sppro-
priation bill which provides the money
for the purchase of guns, powder and
ammunition.
Senator Hale asked whether the
government was furnishing houses for
employees of the tbs forestry service to
live 10.
''If 30, why are not The employees Of
the general land Office, Of the Postofice
Department ard IF oiher departments
entitled 10 the ssme treatment He
asked.
The matter came no when Chairman
Proctor of the agricultural committee
tried to secure the passage Of the House
Joint resolution allowing the forestry
bureau to use an additional $50, 900
out of its total appropriation for rent
of buildings and Offices.
Proctor Was directed TO get the it,
forBi alton from the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, s1d in The meantime tie reso-
luton went over.

The Lackawanna Railroad has Sc
cured the large double pier at the foot
of Catherine street, New York City, on
the East River and will, effective Sep
tember first, establish a new freight
station with daily float service to and
from the same.
AS result of the excellence of it's SER
vice the westbound merchandise traffic
of the Lackawanna Railroad has shown
an extraordinary growth in recent
years and the establishment of a
freight station, aside from the oppor-
tunity Of largely increased business
in that section, has been found to be a
necessity as relief to the large
amount of traffic which it has been
called upon to handle through its pier
stations on the North River consider
able of the business Of which comes
from east of Broadway which will
hereafter more conveniently use the
new East River pier.

Clean un,.

Attention has been called to untidy
conditions in all parts of town back
yards, many Of them, are in disgrace
ful condition, lots uncared for and
around many houses grass is long and
weeds high. People who come to Nor
ristown are laughing at the town for
conditions which should not exist.
There should be somebody with au-
thority who spent his whole time look
ing after things OF this description
not only for the looks Of the town but
for health as well. A great cause of
criticism is the condition of the prop
erty of the Lackawanna railroad. The
first thing stranger sees on the way
to town Is the King tract with old
SUumps Of trees, weeds and grass and
with great corporation which claims
neatnesS as one of its asseSts, an often
der as it is what can be asked of priv
ate indiy,dua in the neighborhood.

Clothing Store Robbed.

The clothing store of Isaac Seller,
at Main and Bank streets, Netcong,
was robbed in spectacular manner
Saturday night at about 11;3O o'clock.
An Italian, accompanied by two
Others, who kept in the shadow, broke
one of the front plateglass windows on
Main street by blow from stone,
making hole large enough for two
men to enter. The marauders hastily
gathered the shoes, skirts and hats
within reach in the display case and
ran away. About three O'Clock a citl-
zen secured Tomassi Olivia who had a
bundle filled with goods. He was
com mitted to Jail.

supplies Received For Postoffloes

l SAppAAoS IseColV0u EOF FOSUOHc6S.
New Jersey postoffices received their
supplies from Washington last week,
to help them in running the postal
machine during the fiscal year which
began on July l, 1908. Supplies, in
postoffice parlance, include everything,
from a ball of twine and bottle of
ink, to type-writing machine, and
with wrapping paper in between, as it
were. This years forms are a revela-
tion, and they show the fine hand of
Frank Hitchcock, who, when he was
First Assistant Postmaster-G General,
trrned loose a lot of clever young post
office men with orders to cut out the
antiquities in the service and some
things have been accomplished. Pos
sibly the work is not perfect, but the
cleaning out of a Thousand of useless
forms and rubber stamps is balm to the
poStoffice man who is awake. And it
is said to be only a beginning Other
reforms are to follow.
However that may be, practical post
office men are delighted with the stand
that Washington is taking, and given
endless credit for the work done so far.

Engineer King reported on the dis

the Passaic engineer wants to put
bents under the span but the Morris
freeholders will not consent to make
shift. The matter was referred to the
Counsel to take steps to protect the
county.
Freeholder Fancher reported that
the Traction Company had taken out
pipes in Succasunna and cobbled a hog
trough in the road which is dangerous
and has already caused accidents. The
pipes should be put back. The matter
was left with the Roxbury bridge com
mittee.
Freeholder Smith reported bridge
over race in his township in bad
shape. Amzi Stephens the owner will
allow it to be filled UP as it is not in
use at present providing the county
will agree to rebuild the bridge if it is
ever needed. Counsel was ordered to
prepare the papers as it seems that
the race antedates the road and the
bridge has been county charge for
years. Freeholder Smith was asked
the location and said it was at Galilee
just over Mount Pisgah.
Director Becker called attention to
several bills ordered paid when the
amount is over $50 saying that accord

and Cobb's corner, seventy-five cents.
Notices were given of the clambake

RE-PLANNING
A SUBURB
What can be Done By Con
certed Effort to Improve
a Town
AN EXAMPLE FOR MORRIST0WN

So far as reported, Ridgewood, N. j.,
is the first Of the towns that are prop
erly suburbs of great cities to engage
professional town-planner to make a
report on it's possibilities for improve
ment. The work, which has just been
completed for Ridgewood, ought to
have interesting results. 1t was or
dered by the Board of Trade-a mis-
named organization, for, as a village of
commuters, Ridgewood has practically
no trade of it's own and there is a de-
termination to profit by the advice and
suggestions secured. The public spirit
OF the town not only furnished the
money TO pay the town-planner. but it
subscribed enought more to publish
handsomely his report, and having
committed itself so far it is not likely
now to desist. Ridgewood has about
$500 population, is charmingly stu
ated in that beautiful country with
many streams which the Erie Railroad
peneurates between Passaic and Tux
edo, and the planning or re-planning
here of residential suburb, almost
exclusively occupied by the well-to-do,
may we'll have been pleasant task.
To make the station the focal point
| facilitating and shortening the means
of approach to it; to increase the
beauty and restfulness of the quiet
residential streets while enhancing
the convenience of the street plan: to
lay out a beautiful drive and proper
recreative opportunities; to provide
for rapid and considerable growth in
population, and to bring all this with
in the financial resources of little
town-those were the main objects OF
Mr.. Robinson's xeport. Obviously it's
service was social more than CONNER
cial or Industrial, but in proportion as
its social service is effective, it must
make directly for the towns prosper
| ity. In fact, the wonder is that more
suburban communities have not taken
up this movement for re-planning on a
scientific and comprehensive scale,
which is fraught with so much possible
good to them. Such work in cities Is
expensive business. Yet they have.
gone into it to a marvellous extent.
though with them the promised in-
provements are spectacular mainly,
while with small towns they are not
aesthetic only they enter into the in
innate home life of the citizens. 1t is
significant, too, that in Europe this
re-planning is becoming most emphati-
cally small town and suburban move
ment. Ridgewood will have, perhaps,
the distinction of starting that move
ment here.-''The Architectural Re.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS
Excellent Dairy Conditions IN the vi
cinity of MorrIstown.

Excellent Dairy Conditions IN the vi
cinity of Morristown.
The regular meeting of the board of
health was held last Monday evening.
The reports for the month showed that
the scarlet fever epidemic was practi-
cally over, but three cases being re-
ported. Two cases of typhoid fever
were reported, three of tuberculosis
and one of measles. 1t was decided to
send no more cases of contagious dis
eases to the Barker annex for the pres
ent as the managers of Memorial Hos
pital are about to make needed repairs
to the building with other changes to
improve its efficiency. The $1,000 ap-
propriated by the board of aldermen
for care of contagious diseases has been
used up.
The vital statistics show six marri-
ages reported for the month, sixteen
births, three still births, and thirty
two deaths.
A gratifying feature of the meeting
was the report of Dairy Inspector Dus-
ton, which shows that with one or two
exceptions all the dairies sending milk
into town are in frst-class condition.
This is largely due to the personal in
spections made by the members of the
board during the summer. The
changes suggested were inexpensive in
character and the milk producers as a
rule were perfectly willing to comply
with the ordinance. One of the best
equipped COW barns, that of Harry
Collins, a new structure accommodate
ing from twelve to fifteen COWS, cost
less than 81 900, and the owner says it
is worth far more than the interest on
the money invested in the saving of
labor, comfort and health of the ami
mails, thereby increasing the output of
milk, and the general satisfaction OF
having first-class establishment.
The two or three milk producers who
are not up to the standard have been
given month to put their barns in
proper shape, failing in which their
milk will be shut out of the town.
