Ask That Egan Law Include Cape
May County

At a meeting of Stone Harbor
Grange, No. 1919, held Saturday night,
a resolution offered by r. p. Risley
was adopted, calling upon Senator
Stevens and Assemblyman-elect Stille
to use their best endeavors to secure
legislation which will bring to Cape
May county and Hudson county the
same benefits that all other counties in
the state will enjoy under the Egan
good roads law, which was approved
of by an overwhelming majority of
voters at the recent election.
Cape May and Hudson counties were
omitted from the Egan bill, although
both counties will have to pay their
proportion of the interest and sinking
fund on the seven million dollar bond
issue which the act provides for. Maps
sent out by advocates of the Egan bill
and by the New Jersey Chamber of
Commerce show that the improved
road system which the Egan law calls
for comes no nearer to Cape May coun-
ty than the White Horse Pike in At
lantic county and Bridgeton in Cum
berland county. Cape May county is
omitted as entirely as If it were in Della
ware or Pennsylvania. So, also, is
Hudson county.
Senator Stevens says that the act as
1t passed the Senate included Cape
May county, but that it was recast in
some way, and, when finally adopted
by the House, the bill omitted Cape
May county. No blame attaches to
the Senator for this, as he did all he
could to secure the benefits of the bill
for Cape May county. 1t would APP
pear, however, that there was some OPP
position to the measure and the result
was the county was omitted from the
act.
Unfortunately, the county voted
against the bill at the recent election.
Senator Stevens and Assemblyman
Stille, therefore, have a task ahead of
them to secure the legislation necessary
to make the law applicable to Cape
May county.
If this can be done, the cost of re-
constructing with a permanent surface
the principal county roads will be de-
frayed by the state and the county will
be saved that expense. This means
thousands of dollars to our taxpayers
in the next few years.
Every trade body and civic organiza-
ton in Cape May and Hudson counties
is being asked to help the County
Oranges in getting the Egan law
amended, as above explained.

Gas Hearing Given up
November 14th, 1915.

The committee having the matter in
hand in reference to charging a dollar
for turning on at each meter wishes to
notify the public and signers of the
petition that the hearing set for the
14th was again postponed, this time
indefinitely. This was the tenth post
ponment and 1t is expected this will be
the end of this effort, as it was unreas-
enable and uncalled for.

 MT. Ross states that he will prob ably not use all of the fund this summer. It is his intention, how ever, to repair the roads on Cleary. Vault Ester and Gilmore creeks.
 The fund should be distributed among the various camps in the Fourth division under law But it will be expended in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks alone, as the territorial road commissioner and the Alaska Road Commission have an arrangement by which he takes care of the local roads, while they do the road work in outlying parts of the division.

SHEER DRESS MATERIALS

Dresses and waists of the sheer, est organdies. voiles, faces and em- broideries that have to be dry clean ed, have been immensely popular all summer, and bid fair to hold their own for some time yet Materials for these dresses will be very trans parent. and this makes washing i'm possible. There are those who cleanse such dresses by laying them away for a few days in French chalk. One woman who had white wool dress used to rub chalk into spots where the skirt had become soiled, before she put the skirt away in the closet and handled it carefully so as not to shake the chalk off, then left 1t hanging until she was ready to wear it the next

 Another arrangement which is similar but used for different purpose was made by a carpenter for woman who has a small cabin and no space for a dining room table; yet one was needed, for she frequently wanted to have company and the small reading table she used for serving her own meals was not large enough. She accordingly had round top made as large as she needed, but not so large that there was any danger of it's tipping be- cause the edges extended over too far. This she placed over the small table, and, when covered with a round cloth, it made an excellent dining table. When not in use, it was rolled into the closet and stood against the wall.
