HEs|TATEs
At s1,460 SAVING

Director Evans, OF the Board OF Free
holders, endeavored unsuccessfully a,
a meeting of the committee on hos
pitfalls yesterday to have a years con-
tract for furnishing milk at the
County Hospital for the Insane given
to the Newark Milk and Cream Com
pany. which six weeks ago offered to
supply milk at 6 cents a quart. H.
Becker has the contract at present,
his price being 611 cents a quart.
IF we accept this proposition 1t will
result In a saving of about 81 a day,
which in q year would total $1,460, q
said Mr.. Evans. 'Tf these people can
supply the same product, or as good as
is now delivered, at less money, 1t is
up to us to make this saving"
Freebooter Harrison pointed out that
he milk at present comes from a near
by dairy, while. under the arrange
ment the director proposed, 1t would
be brought to the institution from q
dairy 200 miles away, and, on that &C
count, would probably be of inferior
quality. Freebooter Ryman, chairman
of the committee, was Instructed to
investigate the question of procuring
the milk supply.

MAY CHARGE
FOR CHECKS

Newark bankers and brokers are to-
day discussing the action of the New
York Clearing House Association,
which proposes to make al inyest1ga-
ton and determine whether Newark,
Jersey City, Hobolzen and Bayonne are
TO be continued in the exempt class,
where charges are made for out-of-
town checks collected. At a meeting
of the association yesterday, a resolu-
ton was adopted to make the investi-
cation. which Is expected to result in a
uniform system of charging for out-of-
town checks collected.
1t was claimed by several members of
the association that the New Jersey
cities and Others have been building up
large accounts at the expense of other
cities. A. Barton Hepburn, president
of the association, appointed the COM
mittee, composed of officers of the lead
ing banks in Manhattan.
tt was stated by the president that
the present rules of the Clearing House
governing the cashing of checks were
adopted in 1899, and are now made
quate. The volume of business has in
creased immensely since that time, he
declared, and necessitated changes in
the rules. The selection of the COM
mittee to investigate and adopt a uni
form system is expected to eliminate
the charges of discrimination which
have been made against the associa-
ton.
Newark financiers today declared the
charge for local checks by the Clearing
House Association is an old story and
there is little likelihood that the present
movement will affect Newark.
