MAXIMUM TAX RATE
MAY Be EXCEEDED
Board Of Aldermen in TangIe
Over Raising Money.

How to raise $94,s3S and still not
exceed the maximum tax rate is the
problem the leaders iii the hoard Of
aldermen are trying 10 solve. The
aldermen passed IN ordinance pro-
viding for the raising OF S13,I70 for
the general purposes of the TOM,
$1,000 for police pensions. $500 for
district court and 10 per cent. addi-
|tional for contingencies This ag-
gregates $94,s33 To raise this
amount it would be necessary Ic make
the tax rate $20.76 on 81 1000. or
sixty-one points higher than the naxi-
mum rate
1t is necessary to secure permission
from the county tax board co raise
the rate above the maximum and
when the local officials took the mat
ter up with the county authorities
they were told that it would be
necessary to pass resolution in
open meeting of the aldermen request
ing the permission. Now the alder
men don't want to do this for it
would advertise to the people that
it intended to spend more money
than last years board spent. As the
present board went into office on an
economy platform this would not look
well with election coming on.
As the county board has received
no official request from the alder
men it has fixed the local rate at
$2O.15, two points higher than last
years rate. In consequence the town
stands to lose $1,000 of the S94,333
it had intended to spend. Now the
question is where to get this $1,000
| If the rate is not raised 1t is re-
ported that the aldermen are look
| ing with designing eyes upon the
$4,000 fund set aside by the last
years board for track elevation.
Other municipalities. namely the
boroughs of Butler, Chatham, Madi-
son and Netcong and the towns OF
Boonton and Dover asked the county
board for permission to exceed their
maximum tax rate this year and We're
informed by the board that formal
resolution was necessary.
The rates as fixed by the county
/ board are as follows: Dover, $23 80;
Boonton, $21.55; Wharton, 1927;
Rockaway borough, $1S.26; Netcong,
| $21.60; Mt. Arlington, $1906; Mend

RAILROAD REVIEWS OFFER
Morris Township Committee Meets
Lackawanna Representatives.

Plans for the elimination of the
grade crossings between Sneeden's
crossing and Punch Bowl road we're
discussed at meeting of the Morris
township committee Monday night.
Besides the committee and counsel
there were present Division Engineer
G.. T. Hand and Assistant ]. t.
Drake, of the Lackawanna; Senator
Edward K. Mills, Philander b. Pier
son, Kinsley Twining, representing
property owners; and Superintendent
OF Operation George H. Ross and A.
Gross MacConnell, of the Morris Coun-
ty Traction Co.
The plans proved acceptable in a
general way to the committee and
the clerk was instructed to write the
railroad asking for a definite agree
ment in writing that could be acted
upon.
The plans provide for the de-
preston of the railroad at Normandy
park crossing, the abandonment of
the present turnpike road on the west
of the tracks and locating the railrosd
where the turnpike now is, using the
present railroad right-of-way for the
turnpike as far as Punch Bowl road.
At the latter point the railroad will
cross over the Punch Bowl road and
the turnpike by means of a concrete
arch bridge the turnpike continuing
down to Convent station on the west
side of the tracks as now
A new factor in the scheme this
year. howeveI is the Morris County
Traction Co. The latter is trying to
secure right-of-way parallel with
the Lackawanna's to Madison by
means of a corporation known as the
Morris railroad, the latter a steam
road With the turnpike relocated
on the easterly side of the tracks
the trolley will have to secure a
franchise for its use from the town
ship committee instead. of using a
private right-of-way.
The plans submitted for the railroad
show that all the grade crossings but
one between Normandy park and
Convent will be eliminated, that at
Bishops road, the entrance to Otto
II. Kahn's place, remaining.

JERSEYS BEATEN IN
FIRST BALL GAME
SWenson Pitches Fine Ball
Against BoontOn Players.

Morristown A. A. won the first
game of the series with the Jersey
Field club for the championship of
Morris county. Though the weather
ct game time Saturday afternoon was
threatening the biggest crowd of the
season was present and rooted for
their favorite teams.
Walter Swenson and Charles Ahles
were selected as the battery for Nor
ristown while the Jerseys depended
upon Ernie Wolf,o Watsessing and
"Smiler" Bridges, of the Bronx ,Ath-
letics, for their heavy work.
Swenson pitched one of the best
games of his career and kept Boom
toms six hits scattered so far apart
they had no chance to earn a run.
Just as Umpire Kohler announced
the batteries it began to rain and
Swenson found the wet ball difficult
to control. 1t soon stopped raining
but the blonde haired boy had hit
Tim Rogers, had passed Kaiser and
Jack Rogers had singled, scoring
brother Tim. Swenson then settled
down, famed the next two batters
and demised Lucas by throwing his
roller to Maloney.
That one run looked awful big to
the Morristown supporters until the
third inning for the side had gone
cut in one, two, three order the first
two innings. But Morgan started
the third with single. He annexed
second base on Carey's error. Ahles
flied to Conn but Swenson drew free
transportation to first base. Doyle's
roller to Wolf was played to third
and Morgan was out, Maloney's single
scored Swenson and Captain mike
tailed on Bridges error.
In the fifth Wolf was touched by
Swenson for single with one down.
Doyle forced the pitcher at second.
Maloney dropped hit in right for
two cushions, scoring Doyle and Hill
lock scratched hit past second base
scoring Maloney and annexing Sec
ond when Conn let the roller get by.
West dropped a single in center that
Conn fooled, the short stop going
all the way to third base and Hillock
scoring Speary ended the inning
by going out, Carey to Cooney.
Howard Morgan was in left field
for the locals and kept the fans in
good humor by his coaching. Andy
Speary was in center and got big
hand when after a long run he
speared Carey's fly and doubled
Cooney at first base.
Swenson gave the local rooters a
scare in the ninth when with one
out he hit Lucas. Cooney fouled to
Ahles but Carey got a life on Doyle's
error, the only one of the game by
the Morristown team. Wolf drew a
pass. With the bases full Tim Roger
was made to pop up, Hillock getting
the put-out.

MOVED HUGE VAULT.
Banks New Safe Drawn by Twenty
four Horses Through Town.

MorristOwn people Witnessed an un-
usual sight Monday afternoon when a
fifty ton steel vault for the First
National bank was transported through
the town on huge truck drawn by
twenty-four horses.
H. A. Jaeger, of Newark, was the
truckman and he moved the huge
safe off the car at the Lackawanna
railroad and placed it on a twelve
ton truck. The horses were hitched
four abreast and the trip was made
straight up Morris street and around
the Park to Market street without
accident. On Market street, how
ever, one wheel sank in the gutter
and required an hours labor to ex-
tricate it. The vault was taken to
the entrance of the lane running to
the rear Of the bank building and was
slid up the lane and onto its founda-
ton on rollers.
While the truck used had tires
twenty-four and eighteen inches in
width the passage of the huge load
was considered a good test of the
b.tucrete paving just laid on Morris
street and Park place. 1t made no
appreciable indention in the paving,
though flagstones in crossings and
paving blocks in the depot yard We're
ground into the ground and broken.
The inventor of the pavement, Auguste
e. Schultz, chief chemist for Warren
Brothers, the contractors, of Boston,
was on hand and watched with in
terest the passage of the huge load
over the street
When the entarnce to Market street
was reached a farmer was found to
have left his hay rigging standing in
The path of the truckman. Police
Sergeant John j. Morrison climbed
into the rig and handled the reins
with skill, driving the team out of
the way, though the farm horses
were prancing and frightened by a
steam roller The sergeant's feat
brought out round of hand-clapping
and cheers from over thousand
people gathered to see the passing
of the truck.
