HEARD AND SEEN AROUND THE
GREEN.

Two Morristown boys, who will be
nameless, had an experience aG Lake
Hopatcong one night recently which
provoked them somewhat. They were
stopping at Camp Hungary. Putting
off in row boat during the evening
they forgot to place a light on the
boat, as required by the regulations.
Several accidents of late on the lake
have caused Chief Inspector J. Fred
Runyon to be particularly yigiliant.
He was out in his launch when he
picked up a mtn from boat without
a light.
"There goes another boat without
a light exclaimed the prisoner,
pointing to the craft in which the
two Morristowp lads were. sm
You'll have to come with me, 7
the inspector told the boys as he drew
up alongside.
They clambered in the launch. their
row boat was left at Bertrand Island
dock and they we're taken a mile or so,
at least SO they say, up the lake,
marched overland mile and arraigned
before country squire, After hear
ing the case the Justice fined each of
them So and costs and after paying
they were turned loose. They had to
hike back to Bertrand Island to get
their boat, long walk.

might have taken US back in his
launch, said one Of the lads.

/ With the advent of the trolley
around the park many people are as
serting that Park place will be noue
too wide to care for the traffic. Would
respectfully suggest that the park is
no place for hitching horses. A livery
stable is better, in our Judgment.
Hardly day but we see several Of the
gentlemen of leisure who spend their
waking hours sitting about our beauti-
full green holding down somebody s
horse hitched to one of the.posts along
the park, and frightened at some!pass-
Eing object. A glance from our wind
Ow reveals dozen rigs tied up along
the park with none but volunteer
caretakers. And another thing-how
about that hay market in front of the
First church. Time that was removed
In this era of clean streets. Saw a
small boy grab handful of hay from
a wagon yesterday and then Strew it
along the street. But at the psychic
logical moment a police officer ap-
peared and made the boy retrace his
steps and pick up the hay. The boy
was on the wrong side OF the park,
there is plenty Of hay in front of the
church.
