Only Victim OF London HoteI Fire re
Gently Made His Will.
London, Aug. 11.-Golding Bright,
who was a friend Of Jameson Lee
F1nney, killed at the Hotel Carlton
fire, states hat the American actor
had a premonition Of death and that
he had made his with a few weeks ago
and had arranged for the interment Of
his ashes with those of his mother.
Mr., Finney appointed Ada Dwyer,
the executrix, TO see that his wishes
are carried out. The body will be ere
mated and the ashes sent to the Unit
ed States.
Just how MIR. Finney met his death
IS ~conJectural, but 1t is known that he
might have escaped had he been bet
ter acquainted with the hotel. His
body was found In the lavatory, com
pletely nude and a considerable dis
lance from his own room. 1t is thought
that he was taking a bath when the
fire broke out and the alarm was given,
and that he left the bathroom and
went u into the hallway. This hall
way, which was filed with smoke, led
to the stairs by which the actor might
have fed to safety.
The hotel directors estimated the
damage at about 100000.

RATING BOOK
Is UNDER WAY
Business Men Taking Inter
est in Project.

Through activity of the Perth
Amboy Business Mems Association a
book of ratings of purchasers in this
city Is rapidly being compiled. This
book will soon be ready for use and
copies will be placed in the hands of
the many members of the association.
So-called dead beats" and those who
are lax in paying their bills might
well take recognition of this fact, for
In the future members of this asso-
citation will look up their rating and
If their standing Is not good 1t may
be difficult for them to make any
purchases unless payments are made
in cash. The association was formed
with the object of putting a stop to
"1im-tlam" games, to eliminate the
non-payment of bills and to curtail
the extension of credit to those who
will not pay their just bills.
The organization is composed of
most Of the leading professional and
business men Of the city, who united
in an effort to establish better trade
and credit conditions throughout the
city. They are affiliated with like
organizations throughout the county
and no matter what part of the
county a purchaser may hail from his
or her rating can be obtained by a
merchant in a moment and by that
he will determine whether or not 1t
is advisable to extend credit.
The professional and business men
who are members of this association
are going through their books and
compiling the ratings of their Gus
toners. These are being forwarded
to the headquarters of the Mer-
chants Mercantile Agency at Pitts
burg, Pa, as rapidly as they are COM
nlated

the animal. The horse is kept in the
stable of the Lyric Theatre immed-

back either. Inside of two weeks

TO BUILD RESERVOIRS
AT HEADWATER OF FLAMBEAU
AND CHIPPEWA
TO CONSERVE THE WATERPOWER
New Law Authorizes Formation of a
Corporation.-Insures Development
of Many More Waterpower Sites

Among the acts of the present legis-
lature having important bearing on
this section, one of the most important
is that authorizing the formation of
corporation to develop system of
reservoirs on the headwaters of the
Chippewa and Flambeau Rivers for the
purpose of equalizing the flow of
water. BY means of a system of dams
reservoirs can be created which will
store an enormous amount of water in
spring and during rainy periods, which
can be released and will add to the
available water power during dry sea-
sons. This act gives the corporation
power to condemn and take land nee
essary for the purpose, erect and con-
troll dams, and to charge toll on all
users of water power located below
such reservoir dams. The toll charged
will be based on the amount of water
power developed by the respective
plants, and is limited in amount by
provision that the net earnings ~of the
corporation shall not exceed six per
cent. per annum. Provision is made
for the acquisition of the property of
the reservoir corporation by the state,
if the constitution should be so changed
as to allow the state to operate such
business. The construction of such a
reservoir system will undoubtedly
prove of great value to all towns
located on either of the two rivers.

TOWNS MUST GET BUSY!
Last Date for Action is Septem.
ber 1st

Under the provisions of the new
state aid law (Chapter 337, Laws OF
1917 towns can get county and state
aid for almost any kind of permanent
road improvement, if they have voted
tax, or will prior to Sept. 1st. 1911,
vote tax, for the Improvement.
The new law is unique among state
aid laws in the fact that it covers not
only the work of grading. draining
and surfacing with stone or gravel,
but also includes earth road work of a
permanent nature, such as cutting
down hills, relocating roads around
hills, understanding swampy places,
making fills across swamps, and in
fact, any work that will produce a
lasting improvement. 1t is expected
that the state, county and town will
each pay one-third of the cost of road
work A town must vote tax of at
least $4OO for improving road.
Any bridge over six feet in span can
also be built with state aid under the
new law. 1t is expected that the state
will pay 20 per cent and the county
and town each 40 per cent of the cost
of bridges. A town must vote tax
of at least $3.50 for building bridge or
bridges.
All roads and bridges improved un-
der the law must lie on the prospective
system of state highways, selected or
to be selected for each county by it's
county board. Towns must vote taxes
for 1912 work on or before Sept. 1st.
1911, and town boards must petition
the county board through the county
clerk on or before September 1st,
1911.
Counties which wish to build roads
in 1912 with county and state funds
alone must vote county tax before
Oct. 1st, 1911. But if county wishes
to proceed in the usual way with the
town, county and state each sharing the
cost, no action by the county board is
necessary until the November, 1911,
session.

The Ellingson law, enacted by the

Culver that he was railroad man and
travelled on a pass, but was informed
that he would have to sober up before
boarding a train. The railroads are
heartily in sympathy with the new
law and will see that it is enforced.
