AFTER LAND OF
lEHIGH VALLEY
Sixty One Acre Tract in
Northwestern Part Of
City on tho Market.
RAILROAD GETS OFFERS
Local Men Consider Cutting
1t Up Into Building Let's
lis a Valuable Site.

Bids are being received by the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company for
the sale of It's sixty-acre tract of
land in the northwestern part of the
city and body of local men IS con-
templating its purchase for building
lot purposes. The railroad company
recently decided to sell the land and
steps were taken to procure offers for
it for building lot purposes and for
its outright purchase without re-
strictions.
Business Men Consider.
A number of local business men
have looked into the matter of TAX
ing 1t up to sell as building lots. This
would be a boon to the city, as it
would connect rapidly developing
parts throughout the northwestern
section. Real estate has been un-
usually active in those parts for the
past few VARS. On the north Of this
property is the Inslet tract, which
has been cut up into lots and num-
Der of houses erected thereon. South
of it is the Koyen & Ostergaard land,
which is being settled very rapidly.
Valuable AS Factory Site.
Should the Lehigh Valley real es-
tate department accept any of the
bids for using the land for building
lot purposes only the city proper
would be directly connected with
Maurer, which is part of it. If,
however, the land is sold without re-
strictions, it might be used for man
ufacturing purposes, as it borders on
the Central and Pennsylvania rail-
roads and is accessible by the Lehigh
Valley railroad.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Keyport, April 22;-Shortly after
10 O'Clock last night an oil stove
which WAS being carried upstairs by
Mrs. Kate Harkness in her residence,
in Broadway, exploded and set fire
to the building. The fire spread
rapidly and gutted the structure be-
fore the firemen could control it.
Mrs. Harkness, her niece and an
other woman, a friend of the latter,
were badly burned, although not SER
iously. The three women had mar
row escape from death ard are suf-
fering from shock. The niece and
the other woman had to jump from
one of the second-story windows into
the arms of the firemen as the blaz-
ing stairs cut off their only means OF
exit.
Following the explosion Mrs.
Harkness. with her clothing in
flames, ran to the front door scream
ing for help. Her cries were heard
by Henry Hopkins and Henry Crab
am, who were passing the house.
Hopkins removed his coat and wrap
ped 1t about Mrs. Harkness, extin-
gushing the flames, while Graham
turned in an alarm, the whole fire
responding.
Eagle Hose Company arrived first
Just In time for Chris Jensen, a mem
ber of the company, to catch the
niece of Mrs. Harkness and her lady
friend as they jumped from second
story window. All three women were
carried into a neighbor's house and

COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT
Bill Finally Passed Rsquir-
ing 80 Per Cent Vote.

Trenton, April 22:-After being
twice beaten during the day, and a
conference called of members of both
houses, the legislature late last night
passed the commission form Of govern
ment bill requiring thirty per cent. of
the vote of the last assembly vote to
be cast in favor of this form Of govern
ment before it can be effective in any
municipality.
The fight in the house was a warm
one, and ended in Assemblyman Walsh,
Of this county, getting the cold shoul-
der from Speaker Kenny, when the
speaker named Assemblymen Geran,
MCGOWAN and Thompson as the house
conferees, thus leaving off entirely
Walsh, who has fought for the senate
amendment which placed the majority
vote at twenty-six per cent.
Minority Leader McCran fought the
elimination of the house forty per cent.
amendment, saying that the propo-
nents of the measure had advanced no
arguments which would have changed
them from the beating they gave the
proposition during the afternoon. He
charged that there had been more
check list and more lobbying for this
bill by interested men than he had
seen on any other bill during the ses-
sion. He was dangerously near men
tioning some editors and laymen, and
some Of them got from the seats in the
side Of the house, and went into the
back rooms
Mr.. Donnelly, of Hudson, stung by
this speech, said that he was one of
the men who had changed his mind,
that he voted for himself, and he re
minded MeCran- that -IaGran- has
changed bis mind on several bills; but
McCran asking him TO name them, he
could not do so, and he generalized.
Then Mr.. MeCran said that his reply
was evasion, and he believed that his
coming argument for the bill would
be equally evasive. Donnelly subsided.
Others talked along the same strain,
and Walsh unable to bear the brunt,
moved the previous question. Then en-
sued q tilt between McCran and
Speaker Pro Tenn La Monte, because
Mr.. McCran wanted to know what had
been carried when La Monte put the
question quickly and declared it car
ried. On the merits of the bill, Nc
Gran fayed the proponents of the bin
alive, and it was killed. Then Walsh
asked for the conference, and got it,
but was not named on the committee.

BELT LINE FOR
CITY REPORTED
Proposed Bridge at Convery
Place Will Have Proyi-
sions for Trolley Cars.
PLANS ARE KEPT QUIET
Opening of Street Across
|. v. p. R. Will Make 1t
Possible AIdermsnRctiye.

It Is understood, that when Con-
very Place is extended southwark
and the Lehigh Valley tracks at that
point are bridged in order to connect
the northwestern portion Of the city
with the Smith street district, there
will be provision made on the bridge
for trolley service into the new terri
tory. 1t may be some time, however,
before the proposition goes through,
as the question of who should pay
for the bridge is still debatable
one.
City Wants r. r. to Pay.
The city Is of the opinion that the
Lehigh Valley should build the struc-
ture and the railroad thinks that the
city should erect 1t. The railroad
offers to make a contribution toward
the erection of the bridge and no
more. 1t claims that 1t now pays
fourteen per cent. of the taxes in
the city and feels that this Is a large
enough proportion to be responsible
for, in addition to a contribution OF
say $4,000 toward the bridge in
question, which City Engineer Mason
estimates would cost $4,000.
In planning for tracks for trolleys
on the contemplated bridge the
Board of Aldermen are anticipating
the day when a belt line will circle
the entire western and northern sec
ton of the city. Although 1t is un-
derstood that there are no negotia-
tions Of this nature on at the present
time, with the opening Of the pro-
posed Convery Place bridge and Its
connecting link with the Smith street
district, 1t is probable that the easy
egress to this hitherto inaccessible
territory will induce the trolley COM
panies to make proposition for
running belt line through the terri
tory.
