practically AZ square miles; is sparse
ly populated in comparison with
other water sheds in the state, and
the water is remarkably clear at most
times of the year. Adjacent mill
ponds act as storage basins. The
water, he urges, because of the rain,
should be softened, and for it's fur
ther protection, be filtered. Both
could be accomplished at the same
time. The city already has certain
water rights in the Tumbling Dam
pond and the right to draw water from
the pond through the race near Jed
dy's pond.
Mr. Potts then makes the following
recommendation;
"lt is therefore recommended that
the city abandon its present source
of water supply on East Commerce
street, because the same is no longer
adequate and could not be made so
economically. 1t is further recon-
lleHu6u IudC new source OF supply
be secured from the Cohansey Creek,
and that filtration works and pump
ing plant be built in the vicinity of
Jeddy's pond. The water, after fill
tration to be pumped into the present
distribution system on Water and
West Commerce and Broad streets.
Estimating the cost of all of the
needed work for the construction of
a pumping station and filtration works
together with the necessary mains to
connect it to the present water supply
is as follows:
Pump and engine house, $11 900
Boilers and stock, $500

LECTURE WAS
MOST ELOQUENT
DR.. Grant Carried Audience
Away.
SCHOLARLY EFFORT.
Remarkable Story of Saul of Tarsus
Told Most Graphically From
Platform

No one in the large audience at the
Criterion theatre last night missed a
word of the remarkable lecture of
Roland Dwight Grant. From the mo-
ment he was presented by Rev. A. H.
Gage until he had delivered the elo-
quent climax every one hung upon his
every word, and were impressed and
moved by his wonderful eloquence.
The Yankee preacher came here as
one of the course of entertainments
arranged by the Bridgeton Library
reputation of being an exceedingly
popular and highly successful plat
form speaker. He proved far more
than could have been hoped for. He
is naturally dramatic and artistically
sensitive. His manner is charming
and in description has few equals.
He knows where the heart beats and
finds ready response from his audi
ence. DR.. Grant is one of the most
entertaining men ever appearing on
the lyceum platform.
Last night Dr. Grant iectured upon
Saul of Tarsus, or the .struggle for
an ideal.1 He pictured 1.-THE life of
Saul from boyhood. 1t might have
been that DR.. Grant had intimate per-
sonal acquaintance with Saul so apt
was his description of the youth, his
manners and habits. He carried tue
life, keen, bright intellectual, as Saul
was, through the struggles for an
ideal, handicapped by the old laws
and traditions, the prejudices of his
time. But he struggled on, in failure
more than ever determined, and then
drew pathetic picture of the declin-
ing years of the old man, of his being
thrown in prison, and then taken from
prison, he was beheaded, the extreme
penalty for his great faith. And then
came the peoration, the awakening of
Saul with God, and as he was pictur-
ing this marvellous revelation, there
came from one in the audience a fer
vent, "Thanky God"

BOARD FIXES
MILlv|LLE TAXES
Decide Upon Utility Com
panies' Taxes.
DECISION YESTERDAY
Woods Companies Assessed at $2O3-
1O2-Peoples Company As
sessed at $131, 900.

The County Board of Taxation had
meeting yesterday and considered
the appeals made against the assess
ments of the public utility companies
in Millville. The session was an in
teresting one, and the members of
the Board were very much divided in
their opinions.
George Austin, the Millville member
of the Board, argued and voted
against the findings of the Boards,
the final figures being determined
by Chairman Alex r. Fithian of this
city, and James Craig, the Vineland
member, although the latter was loath
to make the figures as high upon the
Wood concerns as insisted by Mr.
Fithian. Mr.. Austin favored much
higher values than either of the
others.
The assessment determined upon
the Board or the Peoples Water
Company was $131,OO0. In this case
there was no evidence presented to
the Board and there was nothing to
guide the members but the report
some time since made by the Com
mission, which fixed value of $222,-
500.
The Board fixed the assessments up
on the Wood companies managed by
John Franklin, as follows:
Electric Company, $49,1O2
Gasl1ght Company 10000
water Company $4,000

the suit or trouser pockets without disturb
ing the outer garment as to unbuttoning.
These garments are for the most part
finished off with lap seams or heavy
stitching.
One novelty recently shown in one Of the
smart shops shows the protector collar
laced in front with silk cord instead OF the
usual buttons.
The gaberdines are cut much fuller than
the, raglan or slipon styles. Some are al
most bell-shape In their flare and sweep
Of skirt These garments are shorter than
the raglans and usually stop at the knees,
Tan, slate and olive are the fashionable
shades in these outer garments and vari-
GUS textures, presumably of foreign origin
from their names, are employed. These
materials are known as Burberrys, Rose
berrys and Mcintosh cloths. While being
quite substantial in appearance they are
really light In weight for spring and sum-
mer usage.
1t is we'll defined that the motorist is to
wear shirts OF soft flannel or some lighter
elk textures, such as pongee, Jap or China
silks. These shirts usually have the soft
roll, laydown collar or are collarless.
Where the soft roll collar is attached the
bat wing or string tie is worn and with
the collarless shirts stocks are affected.

WHAT THE MOTORIST WILL WEAR

Stocks are returning as fashionable for eli
outing purposes.
Puttee leggins are much in vogue, these
being either black or tan, calf or pigskin.
Gauntlet gloves to match the leggins are
worn. Some very smart drivers are wear
ing these leEs1ns and gauntlets Of a gun
metal finish and these are very handsome
in tone.
There Is some variation in the costume
Of the gentleman driver from that of his
chauffeur. II is decreed that the hauf-
feur's coat should be the plain box, double
breasted. button-through garment with no
embellishments as to cuffs and lapel treat
ment. Also the chauffeur cap is to be Of
the French chauffeur style, having a large
visor and full flat crown. The trousers are
cut same as the owners garment, but have
no buttons or laced effect, the cuffs being
plainly tailored. merely to tuck into the
puttee leggins. These garments are of
washable whipcord and olive shades are
preferred. The leggins and g~auntlets are
black calfskin. On stormy days the chauf-
feuf wears a rubber cap with a cape at
taohed, which falls down over the neck
n shoulders and cut around the face,
thus giving gratifying protection in the
most Indictment weather. These rubber caps

This panel idea, which is approved from
a sanitary standpoint because there Is no
papering in corners, is especially desirable
for a nursery or play-room, since the dec

the woodwork, and the panels may be
In the form Of detachable frames.
Although the plain papers, or subdued
two-tone effects are favored for the first
floor rooms the bedrooms may havs a bit
of color in a lowered or conventional Dor
der. An old fashion has been revived in
carrying the border around the door frames
and just above the surbase.
Some Drapery suggestions.
A new tapestry has appeared which is
made in Scotland and is called Helena

eerized cotton, and comes in attractive

used a great deal for these combined with
lace or medallions. The princess model
continues to be the most desirable style Of
garment for wear with gowns, however.
This may consist Of corset cover n

short skirt. Row after row Of in~sertings
are used N these until they resemble an
Abbreviated lingerie gown. The growing in

derearments. Gone are the empire effects

waistline is restored, and headings are
seen to circle the waist instead OF being
placed Just before the bust.
Knickerbockers will always be favored
by the woman who wishes to dispense with
all unnecessary fullnesB and fl~u9finess in
lingerie. Those made from white satin de
venezia are probably In greatest demand,
though they are shown in delicate colors,
also.
Petticoats are more frilly and ruffly than
they ave been for several seasons. EN-
broidery combined with medallion insets

fact that it is reversible commends 1t to

There are many styles OF hand woven

that they hold their shape fairly well and
we are looking forward to their destiny
with much interest.
Returning to the street shoes Il might
be noted that gray suede tops are being
shown in some Of the shops. II is contem-
plated that the gray tendency Of the sea-
son will induce many men who a a pen

Wax calf and dull velour calf are really
considered the most fashionable effects
for the season. Not so many wing tips will
be worn as heretofore.

In sizes in shoes to half hose We believe
this bit of valuable information deserves

would be No. 9; with 6 shoe, 9h hose;
with I shoe, 10 hose; with 8 shoe, 10h hose;
with shoe, II hose; with 10 shoe lily hose;
II further informs us that sizes In half
hose correspond with inoh measurements,
as for instance, No. Q equals 9 inches from
heel to toe.
In order to determine what should be
the proper size for your feet, It is stated
that No. . should measure 12M inches in
leg length and ascending sizes call for
half-inoh additional length, respectively.

and light tans Of last season. Many
Of the oxfords shown are the one and two
eyelet styles and the smart booteries are
strong in their praise Of this departure.
The button oxford Is we'll placed in the
ediots for this season. Gun metal finishes
to match the gray tendency OF the suit
styles are shown, but we do not look for
any great response from. these. Men OF
discrimination have always been loath to
accept any footwear finishes other than
the conventional black and tan shades and
while there ls a logical reason for intro
ducing the gun metal, in that they would
be harmonious with the color scheme OF
the season, II would be safer, II not saner,
to see them prominently established before
we adopt what is likely to be a fleeting
fad.
For evening wear at summer resorts
country clubs and early functions, patent
leather pumps have the first call. Men who
prefer the shoe to the pump for dancing
may adopt a new treatment which Is now
introduced. These shoes ave black buckskin

goes well with the brilliency OF the patent
