NUTLEY BUILDING ACTIVITY
New Sewerage System and
County Park for Town.

Much building activity has been going on
recently at Nutley, in Northern New Jer-
sey, on one Of the highest ridges between
New York and the Orange Mountains, only
fourteen miles from Manhattan, and which
can be reached by the Hudson tunnels in
thirty-two minutes.
Nutley comprises a territory Of about
four square miles, Just east Of Montclair
and between Newark and Passaic. 1t has
about twenty-five miles of sidewalks. and
about four additional miles are now being
laid. About twenty-eight miles of macad-
amized and Telford roads are down, and
two additional miles are now being con-
structed. Twenty-Five miles Of gas mains
are laid, and contracts for two additional
miles have been awarded. Nutley owns its
own water plant. and almost all the road
mileage is supplied with water mains. Al
streets are electrically lighted, the street
lines also supplying the homes. Plans have
been prepared for sewerage system for
the entire town, to join the Passaic Valley
trunk sewer project, which is to run from
Paterson to New York Bay at a cost OF
! Sl25O0,OOO. 1t is estimated that the installa-
ton Of the local sewerage system will in
volve a cost Of about $4,000.
There are now being erected in Nutley
more than eighty new dwelling houses
principally for the owners occupancy. and
scores of plans are being estimated on.
The town has had a steady, healthy
growth. the population now being 1000
about double what it was IN 1900 The
Essex County Park Commission has pur-
chased the site for the new county park
extending along the Yantacaw River
through the heart of Nutley. This park
will be laid out in the most modern style
with lakes, childrens recreation grounds,
bau fields. etc. for which there has been
an approprlation Of 100000. The Nutley
Realty Company, William A. Lambert
president. has been engaged for the last
twenty years in the development and build
ing up of Nutley. one Of its properties

SHORTHAND FOR THE BLIND
Can Be Acquired in About Two Years
ingenious Machine.

or late years the blind have accom-
pnshed many things which have aroused
the admiration of the world, and provide
striking testimony to the progress Of the
training of those suffering from that great
est Of Affections, loss Of sight. The recent
feat. however Of Maurice J. Meyers, the
blind shorthand writer and typ!st Of the
Birmingham Royal Institute for the Blind
stands out as one Of the most extraordinary
on record says THE Montreal Standard
He attended a recent conference on the
treatment Of the blind at Exeter az official
stenographer and recorded all the discus
sions on the various papers. The confer
ence lasted for five days, and Mr. Meyers;
notes. which were recorded on a narrow
strip Of paper. with which the embossed
shorthand typewriter for the blind which
Mr.. Meyers used was fitted, extended 10 a
length Of two and a quarter miles.
Mr.. Meyers, who can take notes at a
speed Of l5S words a minute himself helped
10 formulate the Birmingham system of
embossed shorthand. one OF the most re-
narkablo facts about Mr.. Meyers Is thdt
he accomplished the difficult task OF tram
ing himself a. blind shorthand writer
after losing his sight ana AFTER acuHS as
~
York solicitors. Ii Was after losing MS
sight that he returned 10 Birmingham, his
native city, and went to the institute as
a dan pupil fourteen years ago. FIVE years
later he performed a similar feat TO the
one at Exeter. when he acted as Onlcldl
shorthand writer at the conference which
lasted the six sessions Of an average aura
ton Of three hours tdch
The machine used by Mr.. Meyers Ter the
purpose OF reporting is what is known as
The Stainsby- Wayne embossed shorthand
tVpewriter. which embosSes the Braille
characters. each If which consists Of a
combination Of six dots, on a continuous
Striu of paper one inch wide. This ma
chine is strictly automatic in It's working,
and the operator has no need TO take his
Gngers off the keys until the work OF
dictation IS finished. Mr.. Meyers's notes
were afterward transcribed on typewriter
of the ordinary kind.
W H. Thurman, general superintendent
and secretary Of the birmingham institute,
poInted out that IT IS no difficult matter
10 train blind persons OF average mental
capacity 10 become stenOgraphers, but his
experience has proved that II is very DIFF
0cuIt TO obtain situations for blind stenog-
"a nhers when their training is complete.
Tie period Of instruction necessary for the
training OF the blind pupil for shorthand
and typewriting would be from two TO
three years.

the rest are useless at splicing. rigging or
any other OF the routine acts OF seaman

sponsible for this manning by unframed

aloft on a steamer? The duties of a
steamship sailor are duties of cleaning, re-

For instance, In recent voyage l had
