CONDITIONS FOR
CHEAPER GAS
President Higgins, Of New Jersey
Northern Company, Tells How
1t May be Brought About.
WANTS LOCAL FINANCIAL AID

Lambertville may have it's gas
rate reduced from SLIGO per thous-
and cubic feet to $1.50if the people
of this vicinity will subscribe for
SIS, 900 worth of the company's
bonds.
This is the proposition submitted to
the Chamber of Commerce by Presi-
dent John A. Higgins, of the New Jer-
sey Northern Gas Company, last Fri
day evening.
Possible later reductions may
bring it to $1.40, or eventually to
$1.25, but Mr.. Higgins said that
it was totally unlikely that a lower
figure than this would ever be
reached, and this figure could not be
for some years, at least.
A committee, which is composed
in whole of Messrs, Isaiah P. Smith,
George w. Massey and Edgar W.
Hunt, with the addition of George
w Arnett, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and Walter F.
Hayhurst, secretary, sent dele
cation to Camden Tuesday to in
spect the company's books, at Mr..
Higgins request, and on Friday
evening, they will submit report
as to the advisablity of accepting
the company's proposition, so far
as recommending the bonds goes.
There is now pending before the
Public Utilities Commission a petit
ion from the Lambertville City
Council asking for a lower gas rate
in this place, and Mr.. Higgins said
said the company could not do
otherwise than contest it, as an i'm
mediate lowering would make it
the more difficult to finance the ex-
tension from Pennington to Clinton,
Annandale, High Bridge, Glen Gar
diner and Hampton.
His plan is to raise one-half of
the $75,0 900 needed for the extern
sion by the sale of bonds in the
company's present territory, he
and his associates furnishing the
balance of the capital needed.
The additional consumption of
gas within this territory will bring
the net cost of producing the gas
down some, and enable the COM
pany to sell it somewhat cheaper.
None of those active in the fight
for lower gas rates attended the
Chamber of Commerce meeting at
which the proposition was offered.

WALSH,S PLAN
FOR VOTING
Congressman Tells of His Scheme
For Installing Electrical Device
to Register the Voting.
WOULD SAVE CONGRESS- TIME
Editor Record:
Dear sir:

Dear sir:
At conference of the House
Democratic Leaders and my self
late yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided to give my electrical voting
system a try-out in the interim be-
tween adjournment of the present
session and the session scheduled to
begin next December, provided, of
course, the House agrees.
Those who attended the con-
ference, which was held in the
Speakers Room at five o'clock, were
Speaker Clark, Majority Leader I'm
derwood, Chairman Henry of the
Committee on Rules, Chairman
Lloyd of the Committee on Accounts
Representative Campbell, Foster and
Garrett of the Rules Committee
and myself.
All agreed that my advice was
worthy of trial. To secure the
trial it was agreed that | introduce
House Resolution, of which | am
enclosing a copy herewith, appro-
priating $4,000 for the installation
of my voting system; Mr.. Lloyd
will report the resolution out favor
ably on CT after the twenty-third of
May next and it will be scheduled
for an early House consideration.
Mr.. Underwood and Speaker
Clark have promised to do all in
their power to aid in the passage of
the resolution when it comes before
the House for debate. Since the
proposal to install the device con-
Germs the House only, the house vote
to appropriate $4,000 will settle
the matter. The senate will have
no hand in it.
When this device is installed in
the House it will save at least S25,-
900 per year in time alone as it now
takes thirty-fve minutes for each
roll-call whereas it will take less
than three minutes under the cleo
trical system of voting.
My voting system is very simple.
At each members desk there will
be located a tiny switch, connected
with recording and visible bulletin
machines located at the clerk desk.
A turn of the switch to certain
angle would record the members
vote, and, at the same time flash
it out on bulletin, either as aye,
nay, present, or paired.
| have been advised more than a
dozen times to have my device pat
ented, but feel that my salary of
81 800 per year pays me sufficiently
for any services | may render as
member of Congress,

has sent $1,000 and is prepared to
raise large fund if necessary. Mabel

will also go to Salem.
Mr.. Bicknell also requested the AS

tutional member of the Red Cross, to
offer its services to the stricken city in
organizing and directing relief meas
ures. This telegraph was sent to
Governor Walsh and the Mayor oil

ward along Lafayette street, where
scores of the citys finest residences
were burned. The fire spread out to
another manufacturing center on the
shore of the harbor and destroyed
large factories. In the intervening
area scores of business houses were
swept away. The Salem hospital was
among the buildings burned, but all
the patients were safely removed.
Other Cities Assist
Great quantities of apparatus from
neighboring cities assisted in fighting
the flames and finally succeeded in
checking their passage southwark. To
the eastward they burned themselves
out at the waters edge. The final
stand was made near the Boston and
Maine railroad station. Here several
buildings were dynamited and the
flremen at last gained the upper hand,
saving the northeastern part of the
city.
A separate fire, which the police say
was of incendiary origin, destroyed
thirteen dwellings in North Salem and
threatened the plant. of the Salem Oil
Company.

SPLENDID CROPS
IN THIS COUNTRY
tContinued From First Pagel

Splendid" The rains of the past few
days have been a wonderful help.
Vegetation can fairly be seen grow
ing the past few days since it has had
new moisture. Corn is we'll on the
way to big crop. Wheat, though
quite seriously infested with the He's
sian fly, is still comparatively better
than last year.
In some of the shale soil sections of
northern Lancaster and southern Dau-
phin counties, corn has secured a
good start and a big crop is looked
for. In places where the crop is not
well advanced the drawback Is due
entirely to the wire worm. Many farm
ers have had trouble to replant their
crop three to four times and it is not
yet started. A good bit. of land is
going into potatoes this year. There
are farmers who have as high as
twenty-five acres. There were more
seed potatoes bought from Maine than
ever before, 1t is said
Wheat Will BE Good
The wheat crop will be good, but
the danger from the Hessan fly in
the southern section and the northern
part of Lancaster county is quite SER
ious. The clover crop is rather short
places where the rock formation runs
to within a few inches of the surface
the clover was scorched and burned
out Timothy is in a very good condi-
ton and the rains have helped its
growth to a great extent.
Tho particular, advantages of cab
bage as a paying crop have been stud
led lately by Dauphin county farmers.
and as Il result the acreage is larger
than before. The early cabbage is
heading up nicely. In fact. several
farmers were selling their first heads
as early as last week.
Without an exception the fruit crops
will be larger than last year-and
better. Every year there are more
sprayed and carefully-treated orch
ards and the output Is consequently
improved in quality, If not in guam
tity. Peaches will be plentiful.
