| Gloucester. At Gloucester take the car
direct to National Park. The trolley trip
from Camden to Gloucester follows
Broadway to the New York Shipbuilding
Company, the large factory reached just
| after crossing the Philadelphia and Read
ing tracks at the mouth of Newton
Creek. short distance further are the
United States immigration offices.
From the Gloucester Ferry, which
leaves South street and Gloucester on the
hour and half hour. we were able to see
the superdreadnought Oklahoma being
built on the ways in the shops of the
New York Shipbulding Company We
also saw other boats nearing compile
ton. Just after leaving Gloucester we
crossed long trestle over Big Timber
Creek. At the opposite end is Washing
ton Park, which has been closed for sew
eral years. Nearby, however, is an at
tractive grove on the river bank which,
1t seemed TO us. would appeal strongly to
picnic enthusiasts.
The rest of the trip to National Park Is
uneVentful except that 1t constantly ap-
proaches the League Island Navy Yard
National Park is reached just after pass
ing Red Bank. The car stops a few min
utes walk from the river bank. A large
monument. about 80 feet high and in all
respects miniature of the Washington
Monument, stands on the grounds. The
park is splendid for picnics. Boating and
bathing are the particular attractions
here as at Clementon.
FOR AUTOISTS.
Automobilists will find good roads TO
either Clementon or National Park. For
Clementon, take Federal street to Had
don avenue to White Horse pike. This is
at the end of Evergreen Cemetery and is
the extreme right road. Continue along
TINS through Laurel Springs. Just after
leaving the town turn sharply to the
right, Clementon is only a short distance
beyond.
National Park is even easier. Follow
Broadway from Camden to westville.
There bear right until the first cross
road. Turn TO the right and in a few
minutes National Park is reached.

Rapid Transit Company is
likely to be killed in committee. Pressure
is being brought upon the legislative lead
ers today to have the bill reported out
at once, and a prompt investigation will
be made to place the responsibility for
the "pickeling."
Edward b. Martin, chairman Of the
Transportation Committee of the United
Business Mems Association, when in
formed of the situation, said:
THE holding up of this bill Is blow
aimed at the proper development of the
rapid transit plans for Philadelphia. The
bill would give Director Taylor the at-

the question of through-routing surface

The opponents of the Taylor plans, led
by Senator MCNiChol. who have failed in
most instances in their efforts to modify
the Directors program, appear in this to
be successful and so pleased are the
members of the committee, who know
anything about 1t, that they are said to

Insurance. Report In.

States Insurance Commissioner William
Mason Shehan last week made public his
report TO Governor Goldsboroush for the
fiscal year ended November 80. 1914.
showing that the department received dur
ing the year S365. 7O3 SO. Of which S322.-
l90.6l was paid over to the State Comp
trollef. This return to the State is the
largest ever made by the Insurance De-
partment.
Mr.. Shehan says in his report that the
increase in the revenue Of the department
reflects relative increase in the volume
Of insurance business in the State. and
also that the local life and fire insurance
companies are growing in importance as
business institutions
1T Is. however, lamentable fact. he
continued. that we have not greater
number Of larger life and fire insurance
companies. so that much Of the money
that is sent elsewhere to pay premiums
and for investment in securities might be
retained and invested in Maryland prop
critics and securities"
Speaking Of the condition Of the loca
industrial companies. to the strengthening
Of which he has devoted a great deal OF
energy. Mr.. Shehan says:
The localiDdustrialc companies doing life,
sick and accident business have as general
proposition improved. but there is much that
may yet be done to place such companies
on a better business basis. The reooeni-
ton by many Of the men who are in this
class OF business Of the real necessity for
its improvement is at least a healthy sign.
I believe that many Of them have come TO
a better and truef estimate Of the import
ance Of this class Of insurance. and It's
healthy development and growth will be a
certain resultant Of these higher eoncep-
tons Of duties Of those 50 engaged and Of
the aims and purposes Of such companies. ."
The Insurance Commissioner then speaks
of the bonding and casualty companies OF
the State. Of the great size and usefulness
which they have attained and Of the erati-
flying results Of the thorough and pains
taking examinations which he has made
Of some Of them. in cooperation with the
insurance department Of other States
In this connection Mr.. Shehan refers
disapprovinely to the present provision Of
the Law relating TO examinations He says
the law provides for only one regular eK-
aminer. giving authority for the employ
ment Of such additional assistants as may
be necessary. This method works expen-
siveiy. be states. In the examination Of
