GOOD PROGRESS IN
NEW BUILDINGS
So AIdermanic Committee Finds
in Tour of In
spection.

Members of the building committee
of the Common Council reported That
work on public buildings now in the
course of construction was progress
ing as well as might be expected at
the meeting of the committee last
night The report followed an inspec-
tion of the various buildings by the
committee yesterday afternoon.
In the party which made the trip
Of inspection were Aldermen Har-
rington, chairman; Rogers, Hanlon,
scheininger, McGovern, Hopper and
Bleick, members of the committees
Alderman Dougherty, of the sixth
ward. and John G. Schweikharut,
clerk of the committee.
Starting at the City Hall, the alder
men first inspected the new Board OF
Health building, at Plane and Will
lam streets, where one workman was
killed and two injured recently from
there they proceeded to the new Gem
tral fire stations on Academy street
near washington. The committee
found nothing to criticise in the con-
struction, but was unanimous in ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the To-
cation of the building. 1t will stand
ON a very narrow street. Alderman
Harrington was of the opinion that
washington street. would have been
a more suitable site for the building.
At Engine House No. %, in Mt. Pros
meet avenue, near Sixth avenue. the
aldermen found the building almost
completed. They expressed themselves
as thoroughly satisfied with the en-
CINE house, although Alderman Hop
per objected to the window fixtures,
saving they would warp in time.
The committee next visited the site
of the new City Hospital garage, in
Bergen street, where excavation
work has been begun. Next the
councilmen proceeded to the new
house of Truck Company No. 8, in
Avon avenue, which has just been
completed. Aldermen Hopper and
Bleick called the attention of the
members to the fact that the tablet
on the new building was erected by
New York concern. He expressed
the opinion that the contract might
have been awarded to local people.
Alderman Hanlon explained, how
ever. that the contract for the tablet
was included in the contract for the
entire building and that the general
contractor engaged the outside con-
Germ.
The trip of inspection terminated
at the new Ivy Hill Almshouse, in
South Orange township. Guided by
ex-Alderman Reilly. who is employed
as an inspector at the place, the
aldermen waded through mud ankle
deep inspecting the several buildings.
All were satisfied with the location
and the progress being made in the
work.
The committee left the matter of
finding a room in the City Hall for
the Shade Tree Commission to Gus
todian James Wiseman. Recently the
offices occupied by the commission
on the top floor of the building were
turned over to the Playground Com
mission The members of the COM
mittee declared they had been un-
able to find quarters for the Shade
Tree Commission in the building. A
temporary office is being used on the
| second floor at the present time.

SAYS defraud consumers. He recon-
mends that dealers be compelled to
mark in permanent form the ca
pacity Of each basket thereon. The
report also recommends making
mandatory the use of standard dry
measurements for the sale of small
fruits and berries. At present, he
says, all sizes are permissible and
many of them are short in weight.
Another recommendation in the re-
port is that superintendent be vested
with police privileges, and not De
compelled to wait for the arrival OIL
policeman when a violator of the
law is caught Mr.. Waldron recon-
mends striking out the provision IN
the law that dealers must nave
known a weight or measure was
short. The department in prosecuting
violators of the law last year, the re-
port says. could not secure convie-
lions because it could not be aoso-
lutely proved that the guilty dealer
knew the weight was short. Mr..
Waldron says the ownership or pos
session of false measures, weights or
scales is the most satisfactory kind OF
GYlUc0Cc. II dlSO
lition of the present method of trying
cases before juries.
Result of Crusades.
The report reviews the various
crusades conducted by the depart
ment during the year and the salts
factory results accomplished. some
of the crusades conducted by the
department during the year were;
Compelling butter dealers to mark
the weight of their prints upon the
wrappers. bringing about the use OF
standard dry measures for selling dry
commodities, prohibiting the use OF
combination two and four-quart
measures. and stopping the use OF
the so-called "bottomless" measures.
as they could be manipulated by deal
ers so inclined.
Mr.. Waldron believes that the laws
of the various States should be stand
ardized so as to give a bushel Oh
standard capacity. The bushel ca
pacity. in most of the States, varies,
and this works to the disadvantage
of New Jersey farmers and dealers
who market products in other states.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
SHOOTING OF WOMAN

NINELAND, n. j.. Jan. 31-With a
pistol bullet in her breast, Mrs. Les
lie Walton, 26 years old, is in a Sc
rious condition at her home here, and
her husband has been compelled to
postpone a planned visit to the West.
Much mystery surrounds the shoot
ing, which Mr.. Walton declares was
accidental. No one having any knowl-
edge of the affair is willing to say
much.
DR.. George Cunningham was sum-
moned to the home of the Waltons
last night and found the young wife
unconscious, with the bullet wound in
her breast.
The Waltons are but little known
here. They came from Chicago last
summer and purchased a home here.
They have been reputed to be
wealthy. Mr.. Walton says he was
preparing for a trip West. and had
his bag all packed. His revolver lay
on a bureau Mrs. Walton moved it,
and as she laid it down the weapon
was in some strange manner dis
charged. That was the only story of
the shooting that could be CLEANED

n
TRENTON. n. j.. Jan. 5.-State
Superintendent of Weights and Meas
ures w. L. Waldron today submitted
to Governor Wilson his first annual
report. Mr. Waldron reviews the
history of legislation affecting his
line of work, and says New Jersey
for long time was exceedingly
backward. so far as legislation to
standardize weights and measures
and prevent fraud upon consumers
was concerned. This condition, he
says. was called to the notice of the
Legislature of 1911, and the result
was the enactment of law creating
the present department.
Mr.. Waldron says the law Great
ing his department has raised the
standards of efficiency. placed all
weights and measures officials under
the supervision of his department
and the law against fraudulent
measures enforced; that a general
reconstruction and reorganization of
the weights and measures system Of
the state has been brought about by
his department and New Jersey
consumers are protected as never be-
fore
The report makes several recon-
mendations, which it is believed will
further strengthen the workings OF
the law One of the recommended
1ions, which has the support of the
State Association Of Weights and
Measures superintendent, is for n
law permitting fruit and vegetable
baskets to be only 2. 4, 8. 16 and 50
quart sizes, the bushel and its null
tiples. Mr.. Waldron argues that
such law is absolutely necessary.

partment is determined to rid the
