Last session the legislature raised the annual appropriation from $150O to S15.000 which enabled the fair to be handled much more successfully and for which the commission is duly thankful. The commission has been handicapped somewhat in providing sufficient space for the exhibits; that is sufficient floor space, for the grounds are amplY, large. What is

Has the Air World
 Been Conquered?

The marvellous results obtained by half n dozen sets of aerOnauts In widely scat tered sections Of the globe and almost simultaneously must mean something. It Is becoming impressed on national gov- ernments, on deep thinking scientists, on financial powers and, indeed. on the in telligent section of the worlds pOpula- tion generally that we are apparently on the verge Of discovering some prac- tical and fairly safe method of travel ing through the air for long distances and with regularity.
 The aerOplane seems to be the right solution. The achievements of the Wright Brothers and a number of other aero- nauts in experimenting with aeroplanes show that the case has almost come down to a conflict over patent rights rather than serious discussion over the scientific possibility of mans flying through the air.
 When 1t gets down to patent rights the question becomes a legal and com mercial problem for which machinery has always been provided that will do the necessary solving. Just how long 1t will take for the inventors 10 make the machines letter perfect and then to make them big enough to accommodate pleas ure parties Is, of course, a matter of detail and not of principle. VI
 The real final test will come In Au- gust, when the Wright Brothers must take up their arrangement to stand a government contract for a practical fly ing machine. They claim to be ready now and to have such q machine as the United States government will accept as a true acceptable flying machine. If the machine passes the navigation Of the air must be considered as officially and finally solved. e

 Last year the commission spent over

 vlous amounted to $34,9O2.O9. The expenditures were s34, 1G5.03. leaving
 a cash balance on hand of S7$7.06. The commission calls attention 10 the fact that it has had the cordial
 
 road companies mining companies, az ricultural societies, live stock assocla- tions. commercial organizations and boards of supervisors. In fact the peo- pie generally have done all they
 thought they could to help along the | enterprise and the fact is gratefully ! acknowledged, though the ensuing | benefits it is believed will encourage the people to still better cooperation in the future. Speaking of the super visors the commission says that most of the counties very kindly appointed county commissioners to take charge | of their exhibits and in some instances | the counties paid the commissioners | for their trouble.
 Special mention is also made oi the cooperation of the school teachers of l the territory in preparing exhibits and of others. though the cooperation was | too general for credit to be given spe- l ficically to each one.

Institution, as the Board of Alder
men. in committee session last
night, agreed to take charge of it and
to do all in their power to further
its interests.
At meeting between the directors
of the Board of Trade and the local
produce dealers Wednesday night, a
5ommittee consisting of two produce
lealers and President Reynolds and
Secretary Leon, of the Board of
aldermen last night and ask them to
take charge of the market.
The produce dealers representa-
tives failed to put in an appearance,
although Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Leon
were on hand The latter commit
tee asked the council to take charge
of the market and make 1t city in
stitution and to formulate rules and
regulations that would, in their judg-
ment, protect the interests Of all con-
cerned.
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees,, whose
sentiments were backed up by Alder
man Dalton and Alderman Larson,
the other two members of the council
present, said that he was we'll pleased
with the work of the Board of Trade
and that the market was the most
popular moves in this city in years.
He said that the city fathers would
do all in their power to help the
Board of Trade in the matter and
suggested that the latter commun-
ESsat1 with Freehold, Red Bank and
other cities where farmers markets
are in vogue and to prepare set OF
rules and regulations for the coun-
cil's approval.
This the Board of Trade will do
and, pending the adoption Of the
rules, Mr.. Voorhees, said the city
would designate two policemen at the
market with instructions to place the
farmers in position, and to prevent
any unlawful selling of produce, by
spectators.
Mr.. Leon and Mr.. Reynolds both
stated to the aldermen that the mar

John Hanson Suddenly Finds Hs
Has Been Taking Care OF 9th
sT Peoples 5 Property.
FOR PAST TEN YEARS
Lawyer Peterson Is Trying TO
Get the City Return 5000
TO MT. Hanson.

Lawyer Peter A. Peterson ap-
peared before the Board of Alder
men at a committee meeting last
night in behalf Of John Hanson, who
seeks TO nave $500 returned to him
from the city treasury. This amount
has been paid on a piece of Smith
street property which he thought he
owned.
Mr.. Hanson purchased a piece of
property at the corner of Fox Hill
road and Smith street about ten
years ago. He labored under the Inn
preston that it was his and has been
paying taxes, assessments for sew
ers and other city improvements for
the past ten years. Some time ago
d. A. Shirley asked Mr.. Hanson IL
he wanted to purchase seven feet of
valuable property adjoining his pres
ent tract. Mr.. Hanson was surpris-
ed to discover that he did not own
1t, and the deal was affected at once.
Now Mr.. Hanson is trying, by le-
gal means, TO secure the return of
the 5000 he paid on the land. It
was owned by Mrs Spring and lat
er by Mr.. Shirley.
City Attorney Hommann informed
Lawyer Peterson last night that IL
he could exhibit a law that would
compel the city to return that sum
he would be glad to see it, and some
settlement might result. Mr.. Peter
son said he would. Mr.. Hanson says
the error was the result of the work
OF the lawyer who searched the prop
erty for him.

hollow square, so that the farmers
could have protection in bad wealth
er. The committee also suggested
that drinking fountain be erected
at the market SO that the farmers
could water their horses.
When asked by Mr.. Leon, City At
torney Hommann said that the city
charter provided for the improve
ments and that the council could es-
tablish them without any ordinances
and If necessary could issue bonds
for it.
Providing the shed is built the
farmers could be charged a small fee
to help pay for the protection, which
will be given them by the police as
was suggested during the session.
Ex-Mayor Charles X. Seaman, who
is a member of the Board of Trade,
is spending few days at Easton, Pa,
and he volunteered, before leaving,
to secure all the information he could
while away relative to rules and reg
ulations for the farmers market
there. Easton has one of the most
successful markets in the state.
Prior to the conference between
the committee and the aldermen last
night, the following petition with
about 500 signatures were received
by the Board of Trade
We have been informed that a
movement Is on foot to deprive the
farmers Of their right to sell their
produce at retail.
I'VE, the undersigned, humbly Pc
tition the Honorable Board of Trade
to refrain from changing its original
purpose of bringing the farmers here
and, as a benefit to the public at
large, we demand continuation of
said market at either wholesale or re-
tail prices as the farmers see fit.
Tuesday will be the next Market
Day and this time it will be in charge
of the city, although the Board of
Trade will continue to keep an over
sight over It.
At the regular meeting of the
Board of Aldermen Monday night, the
matter will probably be brought up
and it is more than likely that some
action relative to building shed and
placing drinking fountain at the
market will be taken up.
Besides the aldermen and the COM
mittee few citizens were present.

FOR OPENING
DANISH HOME
Plans Being Rapidly Completed

Take Place Labor Day.
MORE MONEY IS NEEDED

Plans are rapidly formulating for
the formal opening of the new Luth-
eran Danish Children's Home at "A
State street, which is to be celebrat-
ed Labor Day, September Z.
Repairs and improvements have
been practically completed in the
building to be used for this pur-
pose. The structure is large and
roomy 1t is well ventilated and
lighted and occupies a delightful
spot on the banks of the Raritan
three hundred feet north of the riv-
er. 1t is surrounded by large
erased playground and plenty of
shade trees. 1t was originally pur-
chased from L. O. N. Brogger by a
number of Scandinavians.
Considerable money was raised for
the purchase of the home and for its
improvem ents, but 1t will require
other funds with which to maintain
such an institution and those behind
the idea are soliciting new subscrip-
tions for that purpose. Contribu-
tions will be received If sent to F. l..
Brown, 240 State street.
Rev. ]. F. Christiansen, pastor of
church, of this city, is superintendent
of the home. f. L. Brown is cash
Ter; Axel G.. Lober, of Keyport, is

some OF THE
DETAILS FOR
new SCHOOL
Fire Alarm System TO be Operai-
ed by Electricity Private TGIe-
phones Throughout Building.
NAY BE APPROVED TUESDAY

When the new eighteen-room CEN
tral grammar school is erected on the
Barracks property in New street 1t
will be the most complete school in
the city. At the school board meet
ing Thursday night, when Archi-
tect Dayton read the specifications, 1t
was suggested that a fire alarm sys-
tenn be installed in the building in
connection with telephone service.
The commissioners agreed that the
idea was good and the architect was
authorized to embody 1t in his plans.
Three large fire gongs will be plae-
ed in the building, one on each of
the floors. The building will be wir-
ed and in each of the corridors there
will be push buttons which, when
used, will ring the three gongs at
once. In the schools at present the
gongs are sounded with levers OF
cords, but in a three story building
this would not be satisfactory.
There will be telephones in all
parts of the building which viii con-
meet with a central switchboard in
the principals room. He will also
be able to ring the fire gongs from
his office.
There are no house telephones in
any of the schools at present, simply
a push button system, which is con-
sidered inconvenient
The telephone system will be run
with batteries while the fire alarm
system will be worked with power
furnished by the Public Service Cor
poration. The latter method is to
insure the operation of the system at
all times.
The plans for the new grammar
school, Mr.. Dayton says, have been
verbally approved by the State Board
of Education and he expects to have
them officially stamped at Trenton
Tuesday.
