Township HAN Meeting.

A meeting of the people Of Hanover
township has been called for Wednes-
day evening, May 18th, at 4" Polhemus
hail." Whippany, to consider the mat
ter of. building a Township hall, to-
gether with the cost of erecting 500
seat building. Figures showing the
amount of rentals already promised by
reliable parties and the cost OF light
ing, heating and caring for the build
ing, will be presented at the meeting.
The cost of building will be about
$751;
The old 300 seat building was very
frequently found to be inadequate to
accommodate the average township
audience, and from talk had with
many citizens it is generally agreed
that no smaller building than one TO
seat 500 people should be erected.
Different plans for raising the money
have been proposed. A long term
bond. say of ten to fifteen years. the
township paying off $1,000 year has
been suggested. Another is to raise
it by private subscription promising
four per cent. interest on the invest
ment, which could probably be met
from the rentals. Already one of the
stores has been spoken for at rental
sufficient to meet half Of the charges
which with the rentals from the town
ship committee and polling booths,
and hall, would easily make up the
other half. In addition the lodge
room in the attic floor, and other
space for rental on the ground floor
will provide in all for interest, taxes,
and care, Of such building as pro.
posed.
A large attendance Is expected, as
the matter has been pretty well dis
cussed by the people, and all seem
much interested In the project,

pemana tor Travellers, checks.

The American Bankers association
has succeeded in the space of one
years time in making the name of the
association known from one end Of The
world to the other. At the present
time the checks are being sold to the
public by l,7T3 different banks. In
order to supply the demand from
banks 100000 checks have been man
nfactured and 1,276,0O0 checks have
been printed with the names Of issu-
ing banks. On January 1st, 1910, there
had been sold by the banks of the
United States S3,3S3,0 600, and the
Bankers Trust company on that date
had cashed 1896, 900. The best proof
Of the availability of the checks lies in
the Endorsements upon paid checks,
Tor thousands upon thousands of these
travellers checks have been redeemed
by the trust company, which were
originally cashed for tourists by bank
ers, hotel companies, shopkeepers, rail-
road ticket agents, pursers OF steam
ships and others in all parts Of the
world. These checks or any informa-
tiOn concerning them can be had at
&he MOrrist0wn Trust company.

Two modern statements of the doc

would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the

One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl

"The elect are whatsoever will; the

the devil he is always voting against
him. Then the man himself votes
and that breaks the tie!"

CROP CONDITIONS.

culture, Issues Bulletin.

culture, Issues Bulletin.
In the middle and southern coun-
ties, corn and potato planting is fir
shed. In the more northerly cour-
ties it is progressing as the weather
permits. In some portions of the
southern counties, south of Trenton,
potato seed has rotted from five to
twenty-five per cent, this is serious
loss to the farmer thus affected.
TIE acreage planted to potatoes is
increased from five to thirty three per
cent; corn acreage same as last year.
Wheat and rye give promise of a
good harvest, unless injured later.
Grass for hay is not up to the average
condition at this time Of the year.
Peaches are reported in good condi-
ton, with fair prospects Of an average
yield.
Apple bloom was abundant where
trees are in good condition Orchards
however, throughout the state, have
been greatly reduced by the San Jose
scale.
Pears and cherries have bloomed
abundantly.
Strawberries in some sections have
been injured by frost, varying from
five to thirty-fve per cent.
In general, the season is two weeks
earlier than usual.

Line to Lackawanna Station.
Application for a franchise to con-
tinue its trolley line from it's present
terminus at the police headquarters
building to the Lackawanna railroad

fare the company asked the towns
permission to run.
Seventy pound T rails and wooden
poles the company asks permission to
use. The customary bond is to be
filed with the town.
At the next meeting of the board of
aldermen, on June 5rd, the proposed
franchise will be discussed.
At the aldermanic meeting Tuesday
night the Morristown band asked for
$3.50 to defray the expenses of band
concerts in the park this summer,
