ELIZABETH & SUMMIT TROLLEY
Two Cities Are Connected by the
Operation OF First Through Car.

AWO ClGl0S are OOuu6CCeu Dy Ou6
| Operation OF First Through Car.
With the running of the first car
down to the Central railroad depot in
Elizabeth, over the Morris County
Traction company's line, Saturday
morning the final link was completed
in the trolley service between Eliza
beth and the northern ends of Union
and Essex counties. For more than
five years this has been under way
and its conSummation was only ac-
complished after surmounting many
obstacles. For three years the cars
have gone from Maplewood, Millburn.
in Essex county, and Summit, Spring
field and Union, in Union county, to
the Elizabeth city line at Cherry
street, but the mile and half inter-
vening between that point and the
centre of Elizabeth, has been stun
bling block.
An agreement has been reached
with the Public Service company to
run the Morris county cars over the
| formers tracks. The first trips were
made from the Millburn and Summit
ends, cars leaving both places at six
o'clock. The cars ran on half hour
Aeadway all day. The same rule will
prevail this week, but beginning with
the first of August it is intended to
run the cars under fifteen minutes
headway from Summit, Millburn and
Maplewood.
Trolley facilities through the north
ern sections of Essex and Union coun-
ties have been the dream of traction
promoters for years. The Public Ser
vice once had a scheme to push it's
lines out Springfield avenue from
Maplewood through to Millburn and
Summit, but the opposition of the
late Walton w. Whittingham, at
Millburn, blocked this. The death Of
B. M. Shanley, sr., whose idea it was
also, help to halt it. Then it was
practically killed and it was not until
the Morris County Traction company
appeared in the field about years ago
that the project was revived. This
company built through Millburn and
Springfield, then pushed on to East
Summit and Union. With the demise
of Whittingham a franchise on Mill
burn avenue to Maplewood was se-
cured, while still later the line was
pushed half way through Union and a
stage was used to convey passengers
to Elizabeth.
Strong opposition was encountered
in Summit, private right of way be-
ing necessary, but that has been pref
ty we'll overcome and the cars are now
run to the Railway Valley railroad
depot on Park avenue. 1t is the ulti-
mate plan to run the line through to
Morristown and there connect with
the line from Morristown to Dover
and Lake Hopatcong. At present the
power for this end is secured from the
Millburn Electric company, but plans
have been prepared for new power
house near Chatham.

PROBE TO BE DEEP ONE.
Railroad valuations Are subject to
Close scrutiny.

Close scrutiny.
One of the features of the work o1
reappraising the railroad and cana
property of New Jersey now being
conducted under the direction OF
Charles Hansel is the collection of the
assessed valuation of all land directly
adjoining railroad main stem property
This information will be specific. That
is the assessed value of every acre and
every foot Of land owned by Others
than railroad companies, along both
sides of the main stem, Is being gath.
cred on forms prov ided by the expert
in charge. 1t is impossible to say at
present just what part these records
will have in determining the value OF
railroad main stem, as the formula for
this purpose has not been prepared,
but they promise to be. an important
factor in the work.
This information is being gathered
through the different county tax
boards, they In turn getting it from
the assessors, and the results so far
attained have been highly satiSfac-
tory. In asking the county tax boards
to furnish him with this information
Mr.. HanSel is acting under joint reso-
luton No. 3, which gives him power
to call on any state board or officer for
any information that he deems neces-
sary for complete reappraisal of rail-
road and canal property, but thus far
he has not had to assert his authority
in any way, as the work has been en-
tered into with enthusiasm by all con-
cerned, nearly everyone being anxious
to have the vexatious question of rail-
road taxation settled for all time.
There are In New Jersey at the
present time 12O different railroad
companies operating in450different tax
ing districts, and they have 1856 miles
of main stem, so that when the collec-
tion of the assessments Of land adjoin-
ing the main stem uf the different
railroads is completed the state will
have at it's disposal record of valua-
tions of 4.7S0 miles of property.
The engineering feature of the work
of reappraiSal is interesting. Forty.
eight engineers, in gangs of six, are
now scattered through the state, en-
gagged in measuring and surveying
tracks, bridges and other equipment
of the different railroads. In addition,
there is machinery expert, and in
Elizabeth half a dozen craftsmen are
buslly engaged in making drawings OF
railroad property, while another force
is computing from the figures sent to
the office by the engineers in the field.
All Of this information is being gath
cred under Mr.. Hansel'S direction
and it will be turned into the state
when the work is completed.

Chatham's Valuation Has Been In
,oasad nuarta, ~ NTt,,

Chatham's Valuation Has Been In
creased Quarter of Million.
Assessor Charles A. Miller has prac-
tically completed his assessments fol
the year 1910, and his books are ready
to submit to the county board fol-
their approval.
The increase in valuation over last
year is quarter of million, so that
the assessable valuation of Chatham
is now over S1,250,0O0. This increase
is only in small measure due to the
increased valuation received from the
annexed district, and is largely owing
to new buildings and other improve
ments which have been made, togeth
er with an increase in valuable un
improved property held for specula
tion. Except in a few cases none ol
the old properties have been increased

Dover's Last Artesian Well Great
Success.

Dover's Last Artesian Well Great
Success.
Some time ago the water commits
sioners of Dover, mostly at the soli-
itation of f. f. Birch, one of its mem
bers, drilled we'll for a water sup
ply about 200 feet from the old
reservoir hill, beyond Prospect street.
The results attained were so good
that three or four more wells will be
driven nearby, on the extra acre of
ground, which the water commits
sioners bought for the towns use of
William HI. Pierson.
This first we'll was put down 100
feet, and the flow of water is six and
a half gallons per minute, or 800 gall
Ions per hour, or $3.50 gallons every
twenty-four hours. The flow rises
four feet above tie top of the pipe,
which has almost a fountain effect
without any pumping whatsoever.

At the Morristown Field club Sat
urday afternoon there was beautiful
pitchers battle between Walter Sven
son, pitching for Morristown, and Roy

took the game by four to one score.
Morristown put up the fastest and
snappiest game this season.
In the ninth inning Swenson eased
up little, after holding the visitors
to two bingles and allowed them to
swat the pill for a brace of singles,
scoring them run.
Ralph Stroud, who few years ago
was pitching for the Pastime A. C. Of
this town, and now with the Detroit

CAMP BEGINS AT SEA GIRT.
Two Regiments of Citizen Soldiers
Arrive and Pitch Their Tents.

Two Regiments of Citizen Soldiers
Arrive and PiUch Their Tents.
When the men of the First and Fifth
regiments of infantry marched into
camp Saturday afternoon and saw
small rolls of canvas and tent poles in
row after row they understood that
they we're scheduled for some active
work in the way of camp life. Here
tofore it has been the custom, when
the men marched into camp, to find
the tents up and everything in readi-
ness for them.
The camp which opened Saturday
afternoon is the twenty-6fth of the
New Jersey National Guard. 1t was
formally opened, shortly after two
O'Clock when Brigader General Ed
ward A.Campbell, commander of the
First brigade, arrived, and the salute
of eleven guns in his honor was fred
by detachment from Battery A, of
East Orange. At the same time the
fl g of Camp Fort was unfurled.
General Campbell was legislated out
of office by the Vredenburgh retire
ment bill, which after strenuous
fight was declared unconstitutional.
This put him in command again.
1t has been some time since there
was so many National Guardsmen
there at one time. Prior to the Span
sh-American war three regiments
we're there at one time, and during
the early days of that war there were
two regiments on the ground. The
presence of the two regiments this
year will make it lively for the two
weeks of their camp.
The First regiment is in command
of Colonel John d. Fraser and comes
from Newark. The fifth regiment is
in command of Colonel e. W. Hine
and its headquarters is at Passaic.
Governor Fort has taken possession
of the executive cottage with his
family, and headquarters row." as
the staff row is known, has it's usual
quota of men of high rank who are
part of the military family of the
chief executive. Colonel Austen Col

be several officers from the regular
army on hand to aid in the work of in
structing the citizen soldiers.

With the Orange county league
champions one run ahead In the
seventh inning the Morristown A. A.
Saturday afternoon came up from be-

the game by a score of four to three.
Dodd started the trouble for the
Oranges by walking Dempsey. After
Mettler gashed the gale Doyle singled
and Maloney drove a hot to Steiner.
Leary got Maloney at first but Demp-
sey scored on the play and Doyle
beat Leary's throw to the plate. West

to rally in the eighth but only got one
run on Mettler's pass to Steiner, Park

get Steiner at third.
Mettler pitched well, keeping the
hits we'll scattered.
