A report has just been made to the
executive committee of the Public Serv-
ice Corporation of New Jersey showing

hciaries has cost the corporation and its
subsidiaries $4s. 1857 in twelve months.
This money was paid without any as
sessments or dues levied on the men.
When the plan was put into effect 1t
was estimated that it would cost the cor
poration $780, 900 a year to carry 1t along.
This figure was based on 10000 employees
at a per capita cost of S.. In actual
operation the per capita cost was below
the estimate, for the &s, 1855 81 spent COW
cred 10, 215 employees on an average of
$4.7S each.
As might be expected the sick benefit
feature cost the most money. During
the year loss employees were helped to
the extent of 1922, $685., The list of all
ments included pretty nearly every form
of illness to be found on a hospitals
catalogue. There were sixty-three deaths
which resulted in insurance payments
amounting to SIS, SIC. SO, the odd amount
to be accounted for by the fact that the
committee paid funeral expenses in sew,
eral instances where the deceased had
not been eligible for the insurance pay.
ment. Twenty-four employees were
placed on the pension rolls after faithful
service for which the companies paid

Most OF the burden of the welfare plaI
fell upon Public Service Railway Com

employs about IS per cent. of the Public
Service army. These IS per cent. received

GRAND Jury GETS
CELLAR BLOWOUT
April Panel Enjoys Unique
Beefsteak Feast Furnished
by Member.

The April term grand jury were the
! guests of Irving Froelich. a fellow mem
Der, at a beefsteak dinner held in the
wine cellar Of S. Froelich & Sons store
on Mechanic street. That all enjoyed a
rood time can be told from the way the
host had things arranged.
Upon entering the place every man was
obliged to punch the time clock and to
repeat the operation on leaving. As they
went out, which was not long before the
regular force of store workers was due,
each guest was handed n genuine check
paying him for the time which he had
spent on the premises.
Surrounded by ~protruding ends of wine
casks, the guests were seated upon empty
boxes and ate the repast from upturned
barrels. Thick juicy hunks of beefsteak
were served sizzling hot between pieces
of toast. There were also vegetables and
other modest trimmings.
William A. Koch was toastmaster and
everyone present contributed to the jol-
lily by expressing his unprecedented views
concerning whatever question the pre-
siding officer saw fit to ask him. So
much fun was had that It was decided to
continue the goodfellowship by holding
similar affairs in the future. The occa-
sion was further enlivened by songs.
The members of the April Grand Jury
were: George ID. Smith, foreman; Robert
b.. S~toutenburgh, Joseph Il. Wieden-
mayer, Charles l. Beck, ]. Frank Black,
Emil Waldman, Irving Froelich, William
A. Koch, Edward Crane. job Crawford,

Mails Ballots;
Makes Blunder

Acting City Clerk Martin Bross today
received word that the election officers
of one district in the Eighth ward made
a serious error by mailing sample ballots
to the voters, taking the names from the
Republican and Democratic canvass books
rather than from the poll book.
One man telephoned to Mr.. Bross today
and said the Republicans mailed their
ballots to the voters checked on the can
vass book as Republican, and that the
Democrats adopted the same methods.
''There are eight Socialists in our dis
~trict,' said the election officer. What
will we dc with themf'
Mr.. Bross pointed out that the poll
book was the one from which to take
the mailing list, and that the law plainly
states that the voter shall receive two
sample ballots. The error probably will
result in forcing the election board to
mail ballots in compliance with the law.

PAY HEAVY LOSS
ON REALTY TITLE

Upon the recommendation of President
Uzal II. McCarter and that of General
Counsel Samuel w. Beldon and Solicitor
Francis Lafferty, the Fidelity Trust Com
pany today made the first payment ON one
of the heaviest losses that it has ever sus.
work. The claim against the company
was made by DIR. Henry A. Hendrickson.
of Atlantic Highlands, and George Nor
ris, of Bloomfield. II was on a guaran-
tee for $1,000, and was based on the
Fidelity's insurance of the title to the
greater part of lis acres of farm land
in Middletown township, Monmouth
county. The property in question was
known as the Bray estate.
Three years ago the trust compan in
snred the title to this and. Its guarau-
tee was held by DIR. Hendricksou and
Mr.. Morris, and until three or four
months ago. when they sold the property,
there seemed to be no doubt as to the
clearness of the title. Then an eject
ment suit was brought by the grantees
before Judge DUNCAN In the Monmouth
county courts to determine the owner
ship of part OF the land, which was not
covered by the Ffdelity's guarantee. I'm
der the courts ruling in that case, tho
titles that had been held by DIR. Hem
Erickson and Mr.. Morris were adjudi-
Gated unsound and they accordingly
made a demand upon the Fidelity for
the insurance.
The case was taken up by Mr.. Beldon
and Mr.. Lafferty, of the trust company,
and when the details were laid before
Mr.. McCarter the Fidelity at once d.
rected the payment Of the loss which
It's guarantee-holders sustained. That
loss will be covered by the payment to
the claimants of the cost of repurchas-
ing the property for which they held the
title. Whether or not this outlay Will
reach the full amount of the guarantee
is a matter that is not yet known.
