FLoRHAM TROLLEY DOUBTFUL
Figures Fail to Show Profitable In

Figures Fail to Show Profitable In
veetment for Trolley Company.
While they have taken no definite
action as yet officials of the Morris
County Traction Co. do not look with
favor upon the application of resi-
dents of Florham Park to have the
trolley routed through that borough.
The trolley men say that to do so
would cut out Madison from the di-
rect line and would also make nee
essary detour of several miles that
would cost about $l20,000 to build.
To operate this amount of track
and including the interest charges.
etc, would cost about $751; 900 per
year. AS the trolley men figure that
they receive $50 per year per house
in a community through which their
line runs and as there are only for
ty houses in Florham Park the in
come would not meet the expendi

NEW LAKE ROAD BRIDGE.
Freeholder Hopes to Secure improve
ment to Thoroughfare This Year.

Freeholder Hopes to Secure improve
ment to Thorouehfare This Year.
Because the door to the vault OF
the new National Iron bank, weigh
ing ten tons, is too heavy to be car
ried across the Speedwell bridge on
Lake road, Morris township, it may
be necessary for John Denman to
cart the heavy steel door through
Morris Plains in order to reach its
destination in Morristown. The bridge
over the upper end of what was for
merly Speedwell pond has been IN
poor condition for some time and
last year Freeholder Harry Prudden,
of Morris township, endeayored to
get an appropriation to build a new
bridge but the democratic majority
refused the money. This year Mr.
Prudden expects to secure the amoun
necessary.
1t is planned to replace the present
iron bridge with a reinforced con-
crete arch structure to cost about
$4,000 The present bridge has
span of seventy feet. 1t is planned
to make the span of the new bridge
sixty feet or possibly only fifty feet
wide. The iron bridge was built
when the upper end of the pond ex-
tended to a point beyond the bridge
but since the pond basin has been
drained there is only a creek flowing
under the bridge and wide span IS
unnecessary.

State Hospital Department.

With the new fire department build
ing nearly completed and the acquisl-
ton of handsome new combination
wagon Chief Mulford and his men of
the state hospital fire department are
feeling very chesty The legislature
has been asked to appropriate $4,000
to provide furnishings for the build
ing.
Warden o. M. Bowen is very proud
OF the fire house. The building Is OF
two stories, stucco finish, and is OF
fire-proof construction. The ground
floor contains the apparatus room'
with plenty of room for fire apparatu
and is provided with four stalls for
horses. Opening off this room is
recreation room 80 by 30. Consider
able difficulty is experienced in keep
ing the hospital help happy and con-
tented and as a means of tightening
their lives there will be installed
pool table and piano in this room
Upstairs are twenty-five single sleep
ing rooms. Each room will be fur
nished with bed, bureau, wardrobe
and two chairs. A big double bath
room with all conveniences including
shower baths is on this floor. me
new building is electrically lighted
and steam heated.
The crowded condition of the hos
pital has again and again been re-
ported to the legislature. Patients
and nurses are herded together and
to provide more and pleasanter quar-
ters for the hospital employees these
rooms were planned. At present en-
ployees are sleeping five and six IN
rooms built for only two.

hook and ladder truck, hose jump
er and the brand new combination
hose wagon and chemical engine that
was received from the Combination

40 feet fire hose, extension ladder,
snguishers, axes, etc. Horses
for this machine Sad the truck will
be kept in the fire house at night
and will be working nearby in the
day time.
The combination wagon is unique
in that it is not provided with
gong or bell This is done SO that
the patients will not be needlessly
alarmed nor excited by unusual
noises when the machine is answerlI
alarms. The team for the wagon was
just recently purchased by Warden

Governor Refuses to Have Question

Governor Woodrow Wilson does not

The governors letter says in part.

made the subject matter of party con-
tests they have cut the lines of party
organization and party action athwart

action in every other field. They have
thrown every other question however

have made constructive party action
impossible for long years together.

therefore, can never consent to have
the question of local option made an
issue between political parties in this
