building Boom at Montciair.

Montclair expects the greatest build
ing boom in its history this year. AL
ready plans for buildings to cost in the
aggregate S93, 900 have been filed. Last
year the value of new buildings totaled
1900, 600. There are a few large
structures planned, but most of the
developmentisof is of medium class houses,
the trend of development being to-
ward the north, the creation of new
parks and improving of roads by the
municipality helping on the growth,
while the prospect of better trolley
facilities by reason of the construction
of the new normal school, and extern
sion of the trolley line to Paterson
helping those who are booming that
section. A large apartment hotel on
a convenient site will be another at
traction. All admit that the compile
tion of the Hudson tunnels will be the
great factor in the growth of Mont
clair.

THE LAUTER II UMANA
Everyone can play this
instrument---and play arts
tical1y and we'll.

Most persons on hearing and see
ing the Lauter-Humana played for the
first time are incredulous; they think
that it is impossible to play in so salts
flying a manner with the aid of music
roll and treadles. This is not surpris-
ing, for practically all instruments en-
bodying a player device confine the
performer to a purely mechanical
rendition, and thus make enjoyment
for a person of critical musical taste
out of the question.
The artistic element in the LAU-
TER-EUMANA has given it pre-
eminence over all other instruments
of its type. With this wonderful
piano all can play-and play exactly
as they may like to play. 1t is posi-
bic to render the most delicate pas
sage with the incest feeling; it is easy
to express oneself in phrasing, in
tempo control and in expression. So
true is this that persons who are salts
factory players for themselves have
become enthusiastic over the LAU-
TER-HUMANA, inaSmuch as it does

The Maliey Estate LitIgation.


The litigation in the case of the
Malley estate is now under way in
three courts. Judge Mills has recent
ly handed down decision in the case
of the application of. former Vice
chancellor Pitney, acting for the Ma
tlonal Iron Bank, the Dalrymple-
Hastings Co., and the Armstrong
Brick Co., asking for hearing of the
exceptions to the claim of William
Mooney. Former Mayor Reed had
taken the claim of James Lyons, as
assignee of William Mooney to the
Supreme Court and claimed that by
so doing Judge Mills had lost jurisdic-
tion in the orphans court. The Judge
decided that Mr.. Reed had not made
his application soon enough to the Su-
preme Court. Mr.. Reed has gone into
chancery asking for restraining or
der preventing Judge Mills from hear
ing the case.
Vice-Chancellor Emery heard argu-
m mt in the application in the court
house on Monday afternoon and decid-
ed that there was no reason fJr the
9 eluity court to interfere in the mat
ter.

advantages Of Good Roads.

What good roads, stone roads will

was never more clearly shown than in
the vicinity of Newfoundland, just
across the Morris county line and in
-Passaic county Both counties have

extending LIghting service.

The Public Service Corporation now
has pole line along Hanover avenue
in Morris township from the railroad
to Jaqui's Mill, three lamps having
been placed between the Five Corners
and the mill. The corporation has
most of the poles up for line along
the Lake road from the Morristown
line to the Brant Mill road, except in
front of the Kissel premises, where
they have been stopped. Other prop
erty owners are objecting to the loca-
tion of the poles, fearing that the run
ming of wires will mutilate trees. The
town committee has ordered lights on
this road at the turn near b. Nichols
barn, at the first bridge, at the juno
tion of the roads beyond the little
bridge, at The WatnOng brook bridge
and at the corner of the Brant Mill
road. The company has also rebuilt
the pole line on this road within the
corporation in order to extend the
street light lines from Cutler street,
where they now end. On both of
these roads the Morris g. Somerset
Electric Co., was prohibited in the
franchise from running any pole lines.

HIGHER FEES FROM AUTOS
other Changes Made in Jersey Law by
The Legislature

other Changes Made In Jersey Law by
The Legislature
Showing how the new amendments
affect the automobile law, J. B. r.
Smith, State Commissioner Of Motor
Vehicles, has given out a statement.
He says
"The fees for registration have been
increased from SO for vehicles of less
than 30-horsepower and $5 for vehicles
of 30-horsepower and above. to SO for
vehicles of less than 10-horsepower,
$5 for vehicles of from 10 to 20 horse
power inclusive, and $40 for vehicles
of O-horsepower and above. The driv-
ers' license fees have been increased
from ST and So to So and S4, the dividing
line being at vehicles of 30-horsepower.
This will make a net increase of nearly
100000 to the revenue Of the State.
Manufacturers must procure annual
registration certificates at the price
of $25 for five certificates, Not more
than five certificates will be issued for
S25, but if the manufacturer desires to
register less than five cars he may do
so at SIS for each car.
Blanket licenses at 800 will be
issued to ocabcompanies. This blanket
license will entitle those companies to
drive their vehicles a distance of Is
miles within the borders of the state.
"The number of inspectors has been
Increased FROM seven to ten paid in
spectors and twenty unpaid inspectors.
This will, it is believed, provide a
sufficient number of inspectors to eff
GENTLY instruct the local authorities
and to investigate complaints of viola
tions
Identification marks will be fur
nished by the state, and all registration
certificates will expire on the 3lst of
December. Each Identification mark
will also have stamped upon it the
manufacturers car number. The effect
of this will be both to prevent the
running of cars without renewals and
the counterfeiting of the numbers.
Motor cycles will be required TO
carry Identification marks.
The commissioner Of public roads
shall apportion each year the moneys
received by him in accordance with
the provisions of the act among the
several counties for the repair of i'm
proved roads, whether they were built
with state aid or not.
Besides this, an amendment made
by the legislature to the crimes act
makes the throwing of glass and other
sharp substances in the road and the
retention Of fines collected by magis-
trates misdemeanors. The effect of
these amendments will be greatly tu
increase the efficacy of the present
laws, not only in the elimination OF
the abuses of motor vehicle drivers,
but in protecting them in their legiti-
mate rights"

TWO GAME DISTRICTS.

All Foreigners Must Take Out a Lii
cense costing $40 Year.
The game and fish laws of the State
will undergo considerable change as
the result of the recent legislative ac-
tion. Fifteen bills relating to this
subject were passed, and six OF them
have already been approved by Cover
nor Fort.
The most important of these are
two laws dividing the State into UWo
hunting districts, one for upland game
and one for water fowl. Both OF these
have been signed and are now statues
One makes two districts for hunting
wafer wild fowl, the northern district
consisting of Hunterdon, Somerset,
Essex, Hudson, Morris, Bergen, Pas-
saic. Warren and Sussex counties. In
this district it is made unlaWful 20 XIII
or to have in possession any wild foWl
whatsoever, except from October 10
ito January l.
The southern district includes Mer-
Ger. Middlesex, Monmouth, Burling-
ton. Ocean, Atlantic, Cumberland,
Salem. Gloucester, Camden, Cape May
and Union counties.
The open season for shooting wild
ducks in this district is made from
November / to March 15, and for all
other wild fowl from November l TO
March 25. These laws help materially
in the movement to abolish spring
shooting, as the law which they super
sede permitted shooting this class OF
game until April 30. The bird socle-
ties, however, which are working SO
hard to keep certain species OF wild
fowl from becoming extinct, are az
xious that the limit for the open sea-
son be placed even carrier than pro-
vided by recent legislation.
Another divides the State into two
districts for upland game, the shoot
ing season in the northern district for
quail, grouse and other upland game
is made from October Is to December
l. and in the southern district from
November l to December 25,
Still another new law requires all
unnaturalized. foreign-born residents
to take out license to hunt, the Zee
being $40. The commission CLAIMS
that our ignorant foreigners nave
swarmed the woods ard fields, slaugh-
tering game by the wholesale. rms
law is to meet that condition.
Bill authorizing the catching OF
suckers, catfish and eels by fish baskets
between August Is and December 10,
requires a license Of 81 has been signed,
A bill not yet signed increases the
salary of the game warden from Sl,2oc
to 81 800 and allows him $500 annual
ly for expenses. Also increases lhe
salary of the deputy game wardens
from $500 to 5000 a year and allows
5000 yearly for expenses.

BUILDING NOTES.

The new barns for Mrs. S. S. Whit
ney at Morris Plains are nearly COM
pleted.H The buildings are of brick
with asbestos shingles of red for the
roofing. The gable ends are also
shingled, the floors are of concrete
and in the main stable the ceiling is
of metal, so that there is little possi-
bility of another fire like the one
which made the new buildings neces-
sary. w. B. Pierson was the archi-
tect Mooney & Lyons, the masons
