SENATOR HILLERY ON STATE
FINANCES.

Senator Ilillery, chairman of the
special committee of the upper branch
TO Investigate state finances aud re-
port needed legislation, said Tuesday
that his committee would not be ready
to report for several days. " We have
a big proposition before u.s. he de-
clared "and 1t cannot be solved in a
day
Chairman Hillery stated with en-
phaSiS chat the money now going To
the schools from the railroad taxes
would not be touched, I" We expect
to keep that intact" was his com.
ment.
How about state tax he was
asked.
"There win be no state tax" he re-
piled quickly. =
Senator Hillery went on to say that
the matter before the committee
would be thoroughly sifted and the
problem would be solved
Senator Frelinghuysen, another Re
publican member of the committee
said the members had hard work be
fore them, that would require care Il
dispose of properly.
Senator Hinchliffe, one OF the Demo
cratic members, said that he agreed
with Mr. Hillery in that in all prob
ability there would be no state tax
nor further diversion of the railroad
taxes from the schools to state uses.
The plan OF the committee, 1t is un
cersuood, is to lop about 100000 from
the appropriation bills and in this wa,
avoid stirring up a political revolu
tion, which would doubtless follow
either state tax or an attack on TIN
school fund.

Tuesday was an eventful day, made
so because of the facts that the ground
hog saw his shadow in the morning
and almost at the same minute the
chirp of robin was heard. How is
such tickle thing as the brain ofman
to evolve order out of such state OF
chaosl The grounding, if tradition
is to be believed, Tuesday predicts
there will be six weeks more of winter.
The chirp of the robin, If it really was
heard, indicates, at the very same
time, that spring is here, or is just
about to scramble from the lap OF
winter If the "Timesn were given
to gambling, it would wager that the
robin has another lap or SO to go. liz
all events, we strongly recommend
that fires be kept up and that negligee
apparel be retained in winter quarters
at least day or two longer. Trenton

THE rumor abroad in the financial
world that several of the principal for
eign fire insurance companies are
about to reinsure their lines prepare
tory to retiring from the field Of Amer
lean underwriting, may, if true, bring
us to a realization of our stupendous
national folly. The average annual
fire waste of the United States for the
five years ending with 1907 was 1882,
100000, and the losses for the year
1908 beginning with S24 100000 in Jan
uary, and steadily increasing, aggre-
gate over 100000, 900. Although there
were but seven fires during the year
Just ended where the losses were 81,
000,00 or more, the aggregate loss
equals that oil the year Of the great
Baltimore conflaglation. When the
business man of large interest faces a
restriction of his credit due to the fact
that he can no longer obtain sufficient
fire insurance TO cover his combuStible
holdings, the fact that we have been
burning up $500 worth of property
every minute. day and night, for the
pest six years, may at last penetrate
bis consciousness.

THE law Under which the state

friend was:
Don't worry. Eat three square
meals day. Say your prayers. Think
OF your wife. Be courteous to your
creditors. Keep your digestion go0d.
Steer clear of blliousness. Exercise.
Go slow and go easy. Maybe there are
other things that your especial case
requires to make you happy, but, my
my dear friends, these, / reckon. will
give you good life" Many persons
could follow this advise with profit.

Federal Building Bill Introduced.


A bill introduced in the house of
representatives. by Congressman Fow-
Ter provides for the erection of post
Office building in Morristown costing
not more than $l50,000. In letter to
Postmaster Clarke the congressman
says that he has been advised that
there will be no public building act
passed at this session OF congress. The
bill provides that the building shall
have an elevator, tireproof vaults, VEN
tiating apparatus, etc. 1t is said
that it will require year to prepare
plans have them approved and get bids
upon them and that it is therefore I'M
likely that the building will be started
before 1912 if the act is not passed at
this session.

THE completion Of the Hudson river
tunnels between New York and Jersey
City, over {, 900 feet long, within four
years, and without costing a human
life in their construction, is an engi,
neering feat that is really r1markable.
The tunnels will be open TO traffic by
July lst next. when tAe upper tier OF
New Jersey counties look for a big
boom in real estate and large addi-
tions to their populations. If Morris
town is to profit by this influx of pop
ulation in this section it is high time
to get busy Ill is said by real estate
agents that hundred or more houses,
renting from $50 to $50 month would
be snapped up at once f They could be
had by persons wishing TO settle here.

of our banking institutions for the

proper enterprise was shown. The

time, but it could move in this direc-

TROLLEY WORK RESUMED.
General Manager Gring says Car Nav

General Manager Gring Says Car Nav
Be Running in Three Weeks.
Work was resummed on the trolley
construction on Speedwell avenue
Thursday morning when gang Of
men started the stringlng Of the span
wires. General Manager Rodney Gring
said that the work on the line will be
pushed through to completion and
that car would be running between
the park and FIVE Corners in three
weeks.
For the present small four wheeled
car, seating about twenty-five passen-
gers, will be used. The company has
a large eight wheeled car, seating forty
passengers, in its Milburn shed and
this car will be brought here for use
later. Arrangements have been COM
pIeted with the Morris g. Somerset
Electric Co. for power, a generator be-
longing to the traction company being
set up in the electric companys plant
anu OpCl NY ltIC ClCCultC pdly
Tracks have been laid almost to the
Mount Tabor railroad station and the
wire strung as far as the Denville via
duct. The Dover cars are operated as
far as the Sickle place, just beyond
the GARNER inn at Denyille, the use of
a work train in the grading of the
tracks across the Hinehman property
making it impossible to run the cars
further until that work is completed.
The steam shovel is at work in the
Rockaway cut getting out dirt for the
fill across the Hinchman place.
The traction company and William
Dlckerson have reached an agreement
over the latter's cherry tree THAI en-
croached upon the public road. For a
time it looked as if the controversy
over the tree wonld halt the trolley
work at Denville, but with the trouble
adjusted the track laying will proceed.

YVES TO RACE
White At CLIFTON
NEXT SUNDAY

Henri st. Yves, the remarkable little
Frenchman, who is now matched to
race Alfred Shrubb fifteen miles at the
American League Park on Saturday
night, April "a, has another match on
his hands. Last night his manager,
AL Copeland, met Monty Pike. the man
ager of Pat White, the Irish distance
runner and agreed to have the French
man meet White in a fifteen-mile con-
test at the Clifton Stadium bicycle
track. at Clifton, N. j. next Sunday
afternoon. Whites ten-mile victory
over svanherg the Swedish champion,
at Madison Square Garden several
weeks ago, stamps him as a formidable
opponent for the Marathon champion.
st. Yves, fresh from his victory over
Mat Maloney at Providence last Satur-
day, returned to his training quarters
at Princeton In company with Al Cope
land Monday afternoon. The Princeton
trainer says that he will now train st.
Yves for speed. and predicts that
Shrubb will have to hang up a new
record to capture the fifteen-mile race.
Reserved seats in the grand stand at
the American League Park will be
placed on sale next Saturday at all the
leading sporting resorts and hotels in
