Charles Hansel, the expert engineer
employed by the State Board of assessors
to supervise the work of revaluing all
the railroad property in New Jersey for
taxation purposes has reported to Cover
nor Fort that he will without a doubt be
able to deliver complete and final re
port on the investigation to the Legisla
ture during the winter. Mr.. Hansell
added that at the completion of the re-
valuation work he expected to be able
to turn back to the State Treasury some
Of the 100000 appropriated for the job
by the Legislature.
Honoring David Baird with one stroke
of his pen and then turning around and
by another flourish of the same pen max
ing political appointment that Gusts
staunch supporter OF the former from
office, while at the same time putting
man of the name of Baird, but not
relative of David, into one of the official
berths at his disposal, Governor Fort
made queer use of his appointing power.
The Governor first named David Baird
as the head of the committee to act in
conjunction with the New York Trenton
Philadelphia Deeper Waterways Associa-
tion which is promoting the proposed
canal across the State of New Jersey
from the Raritan Bay to the Delaware
River. The position is purely an honor
airy one Following this compliment to
the South Jersey Republican leader and
| aspirant for the United States Senatorial
toga, the Governor named William
Baird, of Vineland, factory inspector
to take the place of Lewis Holler, OF
| Camden. The choice of William Baird
was made by the Governor to add to the
political prestige of Assemblyman Isaac
| T. Nichols, who is candidate for State
Senator from Cumberland County, and
who has been one Of the staunchest sup
porters of Governor Forts administra-
ton. Holler is an out and out adherent
of the David Baird political machine in
Camden.
On the personal invitation Of David
Baird, Governor Fort has arranged to
deliver political speech in behalf of the
candidacy of Vivian M. Lewis at Re-
publican mass meeting to be held in
lCamden on October 28th.

audited by the Russian treasury de-
partment. The buildings comprising
this institution stand in a hollow

Tons Of Pins.

Nothing better shows the bignrss of
little things than the manufacture of
pins. In England there are made each
week between fifteen and sixteen tons
of the small necessaries. / he materials
being iron. steel and brass. The year
ly production would amount to about
100 tons. The number of pins includ-
ed in this great weight would make
any ordinary figures seem insignificant
would. in fact, defy realization o.
comprehension. Germany also makes
great quantities of pins, her produc-
ton totaling about IA tons year
The United States makes great guam
titles of pins and imports many from
England. Most Of the latter country's
output is manufactured in Birniing-
ham by two firms. one of which has
been in existence nearly a century and
the other over century. philadelphia
