The present New York subway. run
to the Bronx, sixteen miles in a
straight line. or matter Of twenty
five miles. with eighty-two miles track
age, reckoning both the east and the
west side branches. carries in round
numbers an average Of nearly 100000
passengers a day. During the Hendrick
Hudson festivities in 1909 the paid fares
reached as high as 100000 in one day.
The lower figure. al 5 cents per pas
senger, totals a daily evenue Of $4,000.
or $15.000.00O for 800 working days. And
these figures represent only about half
Of New York's daily evaporation bill.
When it is remembe. ID that the New
York subway was orr finally built to
carry an estimated duly travel of
100000 passengers, and that the in
crease of 100000 has grown in less than
six years, 1t will be seen that the sub
way traction question in New York Is
indeed serious. Consequently, plans
have been drawn and bids submitted
for what is known as the ''five-borough-
route" which will literally. gridiron the
greater city from Coney Island TO the
Bronx, giving rise to the popular shib-
bOleth. ocean to Yonkers for cents.
BY this addition another million of
people can be taken care of daily. al
though at least three years must elapse
before any relief from the present in
tolerably crowded conditions can be ex-
pected.

Travel underground has become an alb
solute necessity in the greatly consested
and overgrown cities of Europe and
America, where surface conditions long
ago became intolerable. London was the
pioneer with it's dark and smoky under
ground railway in the later sixties OF
the last century. The use of steam con-
Stunning and Smoke-producing locomotives
was finally discontinued some ten or
twelve years ago, when the electric trac-
ton motor became perfected. Then an
American syndicate took hold OF the

the average being close to a couple Of
million. at fares ranging from one penny
for workmen's trains-what in America is
and threepence. AS an instance OF the
facility with which the underground
crowds are handled in London it may be
noted that during the recent Anglo
French exposition at Shepards Bush.
seven miles from Charing Cross, 800, 600
visitors were handled daily for many
weeks. the average time being eighteen
minutes. There Is no smell, no smoke and
no bad air.

While Boston was the first American

A map OF the splendid Partisan system
Of subways in actual operation and with
projected extensions much resembles that
Of London in its widespread ramifications
on both banks OF the Seine. with a most
elaborate system of transfers and low
fares.
The first line of the Paris metropolitan
system was opened In 1900 with 46.6
miles Of double track. Its success was
so marked that in June, 1901, the city
council adopted resolution asking the
administration to plan an extension so
as to provide complete system Of ra pid
transit for the city. This system, as
finally worked out. was adopted by the
city council in December. 1907. For q
single fare the passenger has a right to
travel from any one point on the entire
system to any other point. Free trans
fers are allowed at all crossings and
functions. The city Of Paris receives for
the lease OF its municipal subways .

B shop John Scarborough, who is
more than eighty years OF age, the
Episcopal Diocesan Conference before
its close at Atlantic City Thursday,
on advice of the church counsel, vot-
ed three months vacation, with a
request that he rest somewhere out of
the diocese, in order that he can legal
ly delegate his authority ! o the stand
ing committee and others to execute
delayed and important busin' - which
owing to his feeble health, he has been
unable to give his immediate atten-
tion.
With desire to provide rotation in
church officers to place younger and
more energetic men in posts of infu-
ence and authority. the convention
voted to place the two districts into
which the State is divided under an
archdeacon, subject to a board of con
troll, thereby automatically deposing
the deans who headed each district.
The convention will meet next year
at Mount Holly.

To Assess Autos.

If the Instructions given the asses
sors Friday by the Monmouth County
Board of Equalization of Taxes at
Freehold are strictly adhered to,
there will be big jump in ratables
this wear. IL was rated that in auto
mobiles alone there would be an in
crease OF a million dollars if all the
machines are properly taxed. Presi-
dent W. K. Devsreux, of the tax board,
quoted a message from Ex-Governor
Stokes in which the latter stated in
one of his state papers that at least a
billion dollars in personal property
annually escaped taxation. President
Devereux urged the assessors to have
all personal property in the county
listed The statement was made that
there were some 200 automobiles Ii
censed in Monmouth county, which II
carefully assessed would increase the
rata bles full billion of dollars. The
assessors were urged TO make separ-
ate taxing item of automobiles and
not include them in personal prop

Central Must Pay
For Forest Fire.

A jury in the Ocean county courts
gave Peter Reynolds and Charles
PetersonI of South Lakewood, ver-
dict of $725 in a suit to recover DANA
ges for timber destroyed by a forest
fire, which the claimants alleged was
started by locomotive on the Cen
tral railroad. The fire occurred Apr.
8, 1909, at South Lakewood. Peter
son and Reynolds had a lot of wood
land burned over and with it a large
amount of cordwood and logs that
were felled ready for carting.
The defense of the railroad was
that while the fire probably started
from one of its engines, still it was
not responsible for the damages, as
they had complied with all the re-
quirements in the statute, having its
right of way cleared off so that the
fire started hey yond its grounds and
having the latest improved spark ar
rester on the fire-box of the engine.
The case was tried last October for
the first time and the jury disagreed.

A Quaint Old Trunk.

A quaint and curious old leather
bound trunk was found in the clear
ing up of the American Hotel On
the clasp was silver plate with the
name Sarah ]. Wills" engraved on
it, this being the maiden name of
Mrs. William Davis, whose husband
was proprietor of the American Hotel
for many years. The trunk proved
to be the property of Mrs. Davis be-
fore she was married and contained
samples of her skill in needle-work
during her girl-hood There were
enough patch-work squares for a
quilt, samplers, &c and a package of
letters received from Mr.. Davis before
her marriage to him. 1t is thought
the trunk had not been opened in for
ty years, since w. Harry Davis, its
present owner was a baby, and it con-
tanned dresses, baby shoes, ETC., that
were worn by him when baby. The
trunk is an interesting relic in itself
and is in fine state of preservation
and was brought from Medford when
she married her husband. 1t was
probably cherished by Der as loving
remem brance of her girl-hood days.

Tie Freehold township committee
has re-distIicted the township voting
places in accordance with the provis-
ions of the Geran bill passed by the
recent legislature which says that no
voting district shall have more than
$50 voters, and that when as many as
400 ballots are cast al an election an
other district must be created. This
caused two more voting districts to be
added in the fown, making a total OF
six instead of four in the township as
formerly. The districts are now di-
vided as follows:
No South of Trockmorton street
aud west of Main street, commencing
at the corner of the Pennsylvania rail-
road passenger station yard.
No 2-South of South street and
west of Main street, commencing at
the corner of st. Peters Episcopal
