WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-As the
time approaches for the, conference of
the Governors of the various States
with President Roosevelt. on the con-
servation of the natural Of
the United States, there comes almore
serious realization of the problems.
The Engineering Record of New
York, in a recent issue, shows the
gravity of one phase of the situation
in an editorial, saying:
with the domestic coal supply
dwindling at the rate of 400, 900, 900 tons
per year and the foreign supply dis
appearing at an equivalent rate, the
problem of fuel supply takes on more
than an academic interest.
"If coal consumption increases at
anything like the present rate, it will
probably not be more than a quarter
of a century before the calamity of
far dearer fuel will be pom us. 1t
is not that the supply will be ex-
hausted by then, but hat scarcity,
long transportation and deep mining

of coal as to completely modify pres

NEWARK TO BE LARGEST
CITY AND LOWEST TAXED,


Henry Jeroloman, the strawberry
King of New Jersey, who owns vast
tracts of meadow property in this city,
is convinced that Newark has a future
limited only by the enterprise and pro-
gressiveness of its citizens. He makes
the startling statement to THE
EVENING STAR today that Newark
is to be the largest and lowest taxed
city in the world. His statement fol-
lows:
I'm less than one week the Lacka-
wanna station at Broad street, New
ark. will be only about twenty minutes
from Broadway, New York, by way OF
tunnel under the Hudson River, and
all the near portion of surrounding
lands and city in thirty or forty min.

"As soon as canals are completed the

Mr. James Owen, the county engineer informs mi hat att the present ume
there are 100 different political communities withint the metropolitan district d

ally to thu difficulties attending rational development.

they will find alert and intelligent cooperation on the part of the press Of he

Mr.. j. c. Dana, of the Public Library of Newark, is the chairman Of
the interurban committee o fifth Board of Trade, which has been insuu-
mental in organizing the Interurban Association of Northern New Jersey.

thus far all attempts to get it into
utilizable shape IN a large scale have
proved somewhat futile. The hydraulic
power available at reasonable cost of
utilization is being rapidly taken up.
Heating is a terribly serious mat
ter in our Northern climate, and if
n relies on electrical heating the
outlook is bad. since the whole power
of Niagara could not keep even New
York city from freezing to DEATH. Fuel
gas, however, can be made to help out
very effectively, and may come to be
our chief reliance.
Ever now there is a tendency to
shift activity southwark into a milder
climate. Before things come to a
serious pass it is well to try the vir-
tues of power transmission from the

Warns Of New York Jealousy.

It is expected that the work will be taken up by the boards OF trade lux
similar bodies in other New Jersey cities, and that with the influx of popua-
ton from New York public interest in this vital matter will be greatly ac-
tolerated.

necdon to IN west the situation will be promptly understood, and, with Its
better political organization, that part of the port which lies within the State

Again, it is o DC remembered tina the many steam rairoa lines with
which New Jersey is favored are primarily freight, rather than passenger

We have awaited this

first Tunnel from New

a great deal of anxiety.
Well, mark our pre-
diction that Newark
Real Estate from this
day on will continually
advance as the demand
of many hundreds of
thousands Of new Home
seekers will buy homes
here, and will find it
easier and more convcn-
lent to reach their homes
in shorter time than they
have ever done it in the
last hundred years.
And it goes without
saying that the central
location of business prop
erty will be the most
benefited by it, and it Is
up to our stores and mef-
chants, which naturally
will aim to compete with
the great New York
stores, will increase their
facilities through the con-
tinued growth of their
business will require
more space.
But a great many other
Merchants that are not
here now will also come
into Newark, and will try
to do business, in a COM
munity like ours. Seek
locations, and therefore,
our central located BUSH
ness property willbe still
more in demand, and
prices that are asked for
today are low in COM
parison with what they
will be in one OF two
years from now.
SO take our advice
and call upon us--if you
have any funds to invest,
and let us show you a
few special things which
are worth acquiring. We
are now at No. 776
Broad St. Third floor.
We sell, rent, exchange
real estate of every de-
scription, and we believe
that we do the largest

We also manage es-
