ASKS FOR MENDHAM TROLLEY.
Summit People Want Line Buiie
Through Millington.

Another appeal to the Morris Coun-
ty Traction company to build a
branch of it's road from Summit to
Morristown by way of West summit
New Providence, Berkeley Helgnts,
Gillette, Millington, Bernardsviile ana
Mendham, has been rejected. Tne
latest appeal was made by Edward
G. Holmes, of Summit, who called on
Otto G.. Schultz, one of the officers
of the trolley company, and laid the
request before him.
Mr.. Holmes argued that the estaD-
lishment of such a line as proposed
would open up the entire Passaic
Valley, and be big boom to all tnat
section. Talking from the standpoint
of a real estate broker he declared
that considerable land that is now
unoccupied would be put on the mar
ket. that values would increase and
that the people of that section would
receive incalculable benefits. the
distance would be little more than
twenty miles. Arriving at Mendham,
the line, it was said, could go stralgh'
across country to Morristown, con-
Meeting there with the main division
Mr.. Schultz told Mr.. Holmes the
trolley company would not consider
the operation of branch line until
after the courts had determined
whether it could build it's tracks In
front of the convent and TwomDly
properties between Madison and Nor
ristown. The case has been in the
courts more than year, and all the
decisions have been favorable to the
trolley company, but in each case ap-
peals have been taken.

That the James F. Hyde company,
of New York, has been the successful
bidder for the work of constructing
the new Lackawanna railroad station
is persistently reported. The rail-
road engineers have heard nothing
definite from Hoboken in the matter
but say they believe the. Hyde con-
Germ is the successful bidder. This
company has done considerable con-
struction work for the Lackawanna
and also for the Public. Service cor
poration.
Te new station is to consist of
three separate buildings and when
completed will be one of the most
attractive and up-to-date stations on
the division. The largest of the
three buildings will be the main
station located on the eastbound side
of the tracks, about 200 feet west of
the Morris street crossing. Directly
opposite will stand the shelter house
for westbound passengers. The ex-
press building will be on the same
side as the shelter house, but at a
point west of the driveway passing
under the tracks so that vehicles TAX
ing passengers to and from the west
bound side will not meet trucks and
wagons carrying baggage.
The platforms on both sides of the
tracks will be over 600 feet long
and will extend from Morris street
across the driveway bridge west of
the station, thus allowing plenty of
room for unusually long trains. There

will be stairways from both platforms
to the sidewalk on Morris street.
Canopies constructed of steel and
concrete will cover the platforms. On
the main station side the canopy will
be about 400 feet long and will ex-
tend over the edge of the platforms,
thus making it possible for pas
sengers to keep under cover when
passing from vehicles to the station
platform. On the shelter house side
the canopies will be about 800 feet
long and so arranged to afford pro-
lection to the. stairways leading to
the subway.
The waiting room in the main build
ing will be thirty-five feet wide and
sixty feet long. Large windows and
a high ceiling and complete venti-
lating system will provide plenty of
light and fresh air. The ticket Of
flee will be on the track side of this
room facing the main entrance. At
the left on the street side a door
will lead to the subway stairs and
baggage room. A Dutch door on the
track side of the waiting room will
open to the parcel and hand baggage
check room Smoking and women S
rest rooms with connecting toilets
will be at the east end of the build
ing and between the two entrances
to these rooms will be the newsstand
and telephone booths.
The shelter house will have a wait
ing room 40 by 16 feet, toilet rooms
and telephone booths. The express
building will have a shipping room at

DISCUSS CHARITY
ORGANIZATION
Conference Of Charity Workers
Held on Subject.

At a conference of thirty people,
representatives of the charitable Or
ganizations of the town and the pas
tors of the churches, the plan for a
charity organization was disclosed and
discussed. Francis H. Mclean, Sec
retary of the American Association CT
Societies for Organizing Charity, was
present.
He told how the purpose of the as
sociated charities was to rehabilitate
families or individuals who have be-
come dependent or are liable to be-
come so, and to further in every way
possible, as a result of the observa-
tions of this family work, particular
ly. the removal of enyironmental con-
ditions leading to dependency, de-
ficfency and crime. For this purpose
he said, the organization should
A-Maintain a confidential exchange
for the registration of all families
for whom any social service is ren'
dered so that constructive work may
be backed by the previous expert
ences of any and all agencies as
well as to prevent unknowing dupil'
cation :,
B-Investigate the conditions of all
families referred to it so that ac'
tion may also be- based on the fullest
possible knowledge.
C-Serve as a center of 1nter-com
munication between existing socla
organizations in the work among
families.
DIS corollary to both "B' and
&C." 1t must conclusively bring to
gether all the necessary societies and
individuals required to work out each
plan for rehabilitation.
E-As far as possible such plans
shall be worked out in decisions
committee upon which shall be re-
presented all organizations working
with families as well as individuals
selected because of their sound WIS
dom and experience.
F4Shall carry on such social and
sanitary reforms or such community
developments or urge other organ.
izations to do so as may be indicated
by it's day by day work or by special
investigations. Its sphere of actlon
shall have no other bounds than the
welfare of the community SO far as
it directly affects neglected families
and neglected neighborhoods.
To properly carry on the work q
paid representative is needed Inis
should be woman. said Mr.. Mclean
and the salary paid should be about
$1,000 per year.
The conference was held in the
rectory of st. Peters church.

DOVER WANTS ITS
STREETS REPAIRED
But FreehOlderS Have No Money
For Street Work This Year.

A delegation OF Dover citizens,
headed by DIR. J. W. Farrow, waited
upon the board of freeholders on
Wednesday and requested the board
have Blackwell street repaired or at
least cleaned at REGULAR intervals.
The delegation HANDED in a petition
signed by 321 Doverites asking chat
the work be done
Dr. Farrow addressed the board as
serting Blackwell street to ne the
main artery for traffic from Newark
and Morristown to Lake Hopatcong
and how poor its present condition is.
Dust from the street, he asserted,
damaged the stock of merchants
while on rainy days the mud was
damaging.
County Collector Mclean explained
that owing to tinkering by the last
legislature with the tax laws Morris
county has no funds this year avail
able for road repairs, though a bill
is now before the legislature to rem
edy the trouble
Freeholder Fancher declared that
despite the fact that Blackwell street
is a county road it was opened with
out the authority of the board of free
back in proper shape is the principle
reason for the bad ruts and much
of the mud. He asserted that other
towns had to secure permits from the
freeholders to open county roads and
considered Dover no exception.
Frank Porter, of Dover, asserted
that. the work had been done without
the sanction of the town council and
during a discussion it came out that
a water main had burst necessitating
the digging up of the street. Free
holder Prudden asserted that when
the Morris aqueduct wishes to open
a street it has to not only obtain a
permit but put up a bond as we'll as
surfing the governing body that the
street will be replaced in proper
shape.
When a Doverite asked that the
street at least be cleaned Freeholder
Burchell said the county did not col
lect garbage but repaired and main
tained the roads. This was borne
out by. Counsel Runyon who added
that if Dover wanted the street
cleaned it should clean it, as Nor
ristown,. cleans it's county roads.
Mr.. Burchell suggested that the i'm
provement of DOver'S street be car
ried. out similar to that of the county
roads in Morristown where one-third
the cost was borne by the municipal
ity, one-third by the county and one
third by the trolley company.
The petition was referred to the
road committee with power.
The bills aggregating $4,000 for the
expenses of the strike at Mt. Hope
involving the pay of deputy sheriffs,
ETC., were ordered paid.
Upon recommendation of Judge AL
fred Elmer Mills books for the coun-
ty law library were ordered purchased
at an aggregate cost of $780,
County Collector McLean's bond in
100000 was approved.

N =W SMALL BOARD BILL
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Former Governor Fort Draws Meas
ure-Assemblyman Neighbour
Says People Are Disgusted.

Mandatory elections next fall for
the establishment of small boards of
freeholders in counties having a
population of more than $4,000 in
habitants are provided for in bill
introduced in the house by Assembly
man Griffin, of Union.
The bill was drawn by former Gov
ernor John Franklin Fort. 1t met
with the general approval of a con-
ference between representatives of
the various counties whose small
boards were upset by the Supreme
court decision handed down last week
by Justice Swayze.
Among those attending the confer
ence were John K English, repre-
senting the small board of Union;
Assemblyman John Zisgen, of Bergen,
the introducer of a previous small
board bill at the present session;
County Collector A. j. Davis, John p.
Owen and Joseph Greer, of Union;
Assemblyman Edward Neighbour, of
Morris; Director d. s. Goss and John
R. Towle, both of the small board of
Bergen.
Assemblyman Neighbour asserted
that the residents of his county were
opposed to the small board plan as a
result of the last election. He took
the position that the voters were dis
satisfied with the personnel of the
board chosen, and would prefer a
measure providing for district repre-
sentation. A bill to carry out that
plan was introduced in the assembly.
The counties having population OF
less than $4,000, which would be
eliminated from the mandatory pro-
visions of the Fort bill, are Cape
May, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Ocean,
Salem, Somerset, Sussex and War
