with the certainty that that project
will not go through, owing to the OPP

the Orange league has decided to work

42O,I73 TELEPHONES.

Vast Number or stations In the New
York and New Jersey District
The following from the New Yorl
"Sun" is of local interest as some O.
the organizers and managers of the
New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company have lived at Kahdena. neal
Morristown, since the organization o1
the company:
Telephone service is one of the
bthings that was not hurt financially
during the last year. While there
was little increase in the number Of
stations installed there was larger
volume of business than during any
year of the company's existence.
In 1896 there were in New York and
New Jersey 28,O43 stations, which
earned fair profit to the company
controlling them. On October /, 1908,
there we're in the same territory 42O,.
l73 stations, gain of 1872, ,130 in per.
iod of twelve years.
Telephones from being private
convenience have developed into a
public necessity, and there are indica-
tions that the uses of the telephone
will become more general in the next
few years.
The service given in this city is re-
ported to be the best in the world.
and the companies operating the lines
are on the lookout for nventionswhich
will add to the service and enable
them to reduce the cost of operating
so thatSthey may in turn lower the
price OF service to the public In this
endeavor the surplus is being used,
after a fair dividend is taken out. to
make Improvements, concentrate the
business and increase the service so
that with an added number of SUBJ
scribers they will be able to give the
best service for the least money.
London and Paris now are using a
telephone service modelled after that
in use in this city and report that very
satisfactory results are being obtained.
New York men were sent over there
60 install the plant and have reduced
the cost Of operation and have almost
doubled the profits.
The telephone business, which dur
ing some years before 1908 showed an
increase Of over thirty-tve per cent.
in installation of stations, last year
earned more money during the worst
year that many other lines of business
have ever seen than at any time in it's
history, and this showing was made
shortly after the toll on calls had been
cut in half.
There has been more money paid out
by the companies for salaries than ever
before and the employees are being
treated better with every passing year.
phe companies are trying to make
conditions as near ideal as possible for
the vast armies of help which run
their business, and there is a feeling
among the men and women who are
working at the wires that there is more
chance to win promotion than in many
other branches OF work.

The Omcers and Crew of Steamboat
Maine Rewarded.


Maine Rewarded. ~
1t will be remembered that on Feb
ruary 9Th the officers and crew of the
sound steamer Maine succeeded in
saving that vessel from destruction by
fire through their prompt action in
taking that vessel away from the
burning pier at New London into the
stream. AS soon as the facts in con-
nection Herewith became known to
Captain j. w. Miller, yice-president
and manager of the New England
Navigation company, to which the
Maine belongs, he issued the following
New York, February 10th, 1909.
SPECIAL ORDER No. 13.
The management hereby expresses
its appreciation Of the excellent work
performed by First Pilot Ezra Daboll
commanding the Maine in the absence
of the captain) and by his officers and
crew on the occasion OF the fire at New
London on February 8th, whereby an
expensive steamer was saved at com
parative small loss. The quick action
OF ringing the alarm sigual, the subse'
Quent fire fighting. the prompt taking
the vessel from the wharf, all shove
that disciplined crew can save a
Sound steamer during a gale of wind
and under Instantaneous circum-
stances. While the prompt response
in an emergency again proves the ef-
feet and benefit of long training or
the part of Captain @. G. Griffin.
There were in the different depart
ments on the Maine at the time OF
this threatened disaster total OF
forty-tive officers and men, all of whom
rendered valuable service, and from
which a special roll is being prepared
and each man whose name. appear:
thereon will receive one month s extra
pay "for gallant and meritorious ser
vice performed" Timely recognition
of efficient, successful and prompt ser
vice outside Of the regular routine life
on board a steamer comes within the
scope of what is expected of men un
derNsimilar services and for which the J
are not legally entitled to extra pay
Rewarding them however as Captain
Miller has is not only an appreclative
and kindly act, but an Investment o
great value TO the travelling public al
well as the stockholders OF the com
pany, as it insures the best of service
from the men at any and all times
through their knowledge that prompt
ness, skill and bravery are appreciated
at full value by their employers.
The discipline on the combined
Sound liners has been superior in every
regard for twenty-five years, to oul
knowledge, and the cause is due to th,
intelligence Of the management, tn,
ability of its officers, and the loyalt,
of it's crews through fair treatment
and the knowledge that extraordinar,
service will be properly rewarded. =

FROM what we can hear from Tren-
ton there is not much probability that
the county boards of taxation will be
legislated out of office, or that there
will be repeal of the Hillery maxi,
mum tax rate law. The latter is rec
ognized as good thing, while as for
the county boards of taxation they are
heartily endorsed ih many counties,
and the sentiment is that they ought
to be continued for while longer at
all events. We think the sentiment
in this county is decidedly in favor of
their retention.-Paterson Call.

DECLARES FOR PARTY UNITY.
Senator Dupont More Interested In
This Than In Senatorship.

The Republican leaders seem pleas
ed over the Kent County conference
herld in Dover Thur sday, which was
attended by every member of the
Rebuplican county cOmmitte except
the member from the Sixth District,
who has moved from that section.
1.-The overcoming of factional dis
turbances in the Republican party of
Kent County," said Chairman E. w.
Jenkins, "seeins to have been fully
accomplished by the meeting. Sena-
tor Dupcnt's word to the Republicans
of Delaware was: "A united Repub-
lican party first; the senatorship
afterwards. This attitude of
Senator Dupont rather surprised some
of his factional enemies in Kent and
Sussex. The lower counties have be-
come so accustomed to the cry of
"Me or Nobody, ." for the serator-
ship, that they believed this to be
he case with Dupont. Now that the
party must be brought together re-
gardless of who shall be senator, the
result may be party harmony but SEN
atorial complications.
