DISCUSS TUBERcULAR TEST.
Milk Producers and Dealers and Board
of Health in Conference.

After a conference with the Morris
town board of health milk dealers
and producers of Morristown have
appointed a committee to make an
adjustment with the board regarding
the proposed tubercular test Of COWS.
The health board proposes to demand
that such a test be made regularly
of all COWS furnishing milk sold in
Morristown 1t does not, however, de
sire to inflict any hardship upon the
producers and will not make the or
dinance operative, when it is passed,
until next fall, it is said Some OF
the dealers contend that il the test
is exacted the price of milk will go
up to ten or eleven cents per quart
but members of the board assert that
a raise will be unnecessary, claiming
that the producers are already paid
price that would cover the cost of
the test and still yield a substantial
profit. The members of the commit
tee representing the dealers and pro-
ducers are w. Bayard Blackwell, Liy-
ingston Whitney, William H. Thomp-
son, Joseph f. Burke, Alexander
Laurie, Milton G. Pierson, C. Howell

WILL DRAIN TO RIVER.
All Storm Water From Railroad
Grounds and Street DEPRESSION.

GROUNDS and street Depression.
The question over the drainage Of
the station grounds and the depres-
sion in Morris street has been set
tied. The storm water viii all be
taken to the Nhippany river as pro-
vided for in the contract between the
town and the Lackawanna railroad.
This was decided upon at confer
enee between Alderman b. w. Clif-
ford and his colleagues on the street
committee and the railroad engineers.
, 1t had been proposed to build new
storm drain down Morris street 10
Ford brook to relieve the present
drain to the brook but it was found
it would cost the town about $4,000
to construct and the scheme was
abandoned and the railroad informed
that it would have to live up to its
contract obligations regarding the
drainage of the grounds and depres-
sion to the river. An inlet to the
old drain to Ford's brook from Elm
street viii be closed and the Elm
street drain connected with the rail-
roads drain to the river, thus re-
lieying some of the pressure on the
old drain.

SALMON FOR GREEN POND.
Lake Hopatcong, too, to be Stocked
by State Commission.

ny Stdte commission.
One of the most interesting of the
experiments which the fish and game
commission is preparing to try out
is the placing in Green Pond, Lake
Hopatcong and some of the other
and larger lakes of the state of land
locked salmon such as have made the
fishing in some of the far western
and northwestern states and in Maine
and elsewhere famous. There is be-
lieved to be no reason why land
locked salmon should not flourish in
some of the springfield, cold water
lakes of New Jersey, and arrange
ments have already been completed
for an exchange With the Maine fish
commission of 250,000 land-locked
salmon eggs for brook trout eggs
hatched at the new Hackettstown es-
tablishment of the New Jersey com
mission. In addition to this, arrange
ments have also been perfected for
supply of land-locked salmon from
the federal government fish hatch
cries, the government giving the eggs
upon application and upon assurance
that they will receive proper handling
distribution and such subsequent care
as may be necessary, and that a re-
port upon the results obtained will
be made to the federal department
OF fisheries.

The oath of office was administered
to the new board of education Salur-
day afternoon by former JUDGE Will
ard w. Cutler after which it proceeded
to hold its first meeting Joseph
Hinchman was elected president Of
the board and John n. Gonkling vice
president.
The board continued in osfise as
clerk George c. Smith Who held the
position under the old regime. The
appointment of committees was left
to a later meeting. The new board
has discovered that there is some
confusion in the old arrangement of
committees in that they were not in
harmony with the system of book
keeping used, two different commit
tees having authority to purchase
supplies requiring two separate col
umns in the ledger.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Hinchman, Todd and Conkling was
appointed to look into the committee
matter and report at later meet
ing what in its opinion are the com
mittees required by the board.
Willard w. Cutler was nominated
by Mr.. Conkling as counsel to the
board but Mr.. Hinchman contended

LOOKUP FOR COMFORT STATION
Former Mayor Pierson Preparing

Former Mayor Pierson Preparing
Estimate of Cost Of Conversion.
The use of the old lookup on Water
street as a public comfort station is
being considered. Former Mayor
Arthur S. Pierson is preparing an
estimate Of the cost of fitting up the
place for this purpose and it may be
presented at the next meeting of the
board of aldermen That a comfort
station is needed in the center of
the town is the contention of the
Women's Town Improvement commit
tee and Miss Shelton, of the COM
mittee, is cooperating in the plan
ming of the statiop.f
Utilizing this lookup for sother pur-
poses will discommodee the police
who have to use it often as an over
flow to receive the tramps and
dodgers applying for place to sleep
nights. 1t often happens that the
room in the basement of the police
headquarters is SO crowded that the
use of the old lookup is made nee
essary. 1t was recently overhauIed
and new plumbing installed. The
police sometimes use it, too, when
they find they have a lodger in the
police headquarters basement whose
lack of acquaintance with bath tub
makes hims an undesirable citizen,
making it necessary to clarity the air
in the police building.
