Along the Shore

In line with the treasury depart
ment's policy OF abandoning coast
guard stations wherever they can be
dispensed with, the station at Spring
Lake, No. 1O4. has been discontinued
and Capt. William A. Osborne placed
in charge OF No. los at Manasquan.
He succeeds Capt Andrew Longstreet
who is retired on three-fourths pay.
Members Of the crew have been dis
tributed among the shore stations. At
the same time, No. 127. south OF Ocean
City, has been abandoned, Orders were
issued for these changes on February
Is, by Capt. John Cole, superintend-
ent Of the district. The abandonment
of the station comes month after the
decision to discontinue the Bay Head
station, and for practically the same
reasons. For many years past. the
service rendered has been dispropor-
tionate to the upkeep, and the eyolu
ton Of the coastwise shipping has
made them practically useless.

Random Remarks.

Assemblyman Roberts has succeed
ed in getting through the House Of As
sembly his bill exempting farm hands
and domestic servants from the Work
mems Compensation Act. Mr.. Roberts
had similar bill passed last winter
but it was vetoed and the bill failed to
get through over the veto.
One bill that has been introduced in
the legislature looks like good one. 1t
provides that the Office OF Commission
er Of Education be abolished and that
the old title Of State Superintendent Of
Public instruction be restored. The
present officials would be retired and
new ones would be appointed at re-
duction in salary Of one-half what they
are now receiving. County Superin-
tendents would not be appointed on
account of personal or political pull but
would be compelled to give evidence OF
educational qualifications.
Pennsylvania legislators are not sat
isfied with tie automobile reciprocity
act as it is now in force. Inspector
Dill, Of New Jersey. construes the law
Of this state to mean that an automo-
bile cannot be in this state more than
fifteen days in. any one year. The
Pennsylvania law is construed so that
an automobile may remain in that
state fourteen DAYS. 60 out for one day
and then go back for fourteen more
days and so on throughout the year.
Pennsylvania legislators say that un-
less New Jersey agrees to this propo-
sition the reciprocity act Of the former
state will be enforced just as that Of
New Jersey is and fifteen days in the
year will be the limit. The Pennsyl-
vania people may be right but it is
doubtful If there has been such rigid
enforcement Of the law as they claim.
Foreign automobiles enter this state
and appear to stay a. long as they
want to. In fact the general opinion
is that the foreign automobiles, es-
specially those from Pennsylvania.
have had all the privileges they are en-
titled to. 1t would not work much
hardship if the reciprocity act were al.
lowed to lapse for year and see who
cries first and loudest.

ed lumber from Woodstown who

people said the price paid at local
creameries il ~ cents, and his COM
pany thought an additional quarter

q surplus Of milk about once every two

times this amounts to so cans.

To Abolish Tolls.

Senate Joint Resolution No. A, by
Stevens, of Cape May, authorizes the
appointment by the Governor of a COM
mission of five to take over for the
state privately owned toll bridges and
toll roads in this state. as recommended
by the report of the commission ap-
pointed year ago, and submitting its
report last week. The resolution also
authorizes the appropriation for this
purpose of 1926. 900 to cover the costs Of
these toll roads and bridges, only such
sums to be available in one year as
may be included in the appropriation
bill of that year.
The members of the commission
would serve without compensation but
would be empowered to hire clerk.
engineer and other necessary assistants,
who would be paid for their services.
The commission would be given dis
erection as to which roads OF, bridges
should be first bought, and the price to
be paid by purchase or condemnation.
upon the approval of the State Road
Commissioner and the Governor, pro-
viding the amount is not in excess of
the figures mentioned in the report of
the joint committee of 1915.
These figures were: for the Island
Heights and Seaside Park bridge, $780,
600; for the Long Beach and Manahaw-
kin bridge, 500, 446; for the Ocean CITY
bridge, about 1926, 900, etc. There are
also two toll roads in south Jersey be-
side these three bridges, the purchase
Of which is authorized by this resolu- !
ton. The total cost recommended is |
$611. OS5.
The report also suggests that $3.50, 900
be appropriated each year for the pur-
chase of these bridges and roads, until |
the work is accomplished. After being
bought by the state, the upkeep and |
operation would fall upon the state,
and would be under the supervision OF

Masonic Rannnet.

The annual ladies reception and
banquet of Mount Holly Lodge Of
Masons was held in the Masonic Tenn
pie on Thursday evening, and was a
very successful affair. Covers were
laid for one hundred and thirty two
guests, and the program of the even
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

room, where an address OF welcome
was made by Worshipful Master Leoni-
das s. Boyce, after which the follow
ing menu was served in the banquet

music during the banquet.
Past master George M. Hillman, Of

by the committee as postmaster, and
the choice was an admirable one, Mr..
Hillman presiding in witty and elo-
quent manner which added greatly to
the enjoyment of the guests. The first
speaker was State Senator Harold B.
Wells, who was introduced by the
POSTMASTER as the Billy Sunday of
Bordentown. Mr.. Wells address was
characteristic, being extremely humor-
Gus, ard his remarks were frequently
interrupted by laughter and applause.
The Senator captivated his audience,
and it is safe to say that if woman
suffrage ever reaches New Jersey, all
the ladies at the banquet will vote for
skip" every time he is candidate
for Office.
Former Congressman Levin Irving
Handy, Of Smyrna, Del, past grand
master Of Delaware Masons, was the
next speaker. Mr.. Handy was no
stranger TO many of his hearers. as ne
has spoken at former Masonic ban
quets in Mount Holly, and his speech
exceeded the expectations OF those who
had heard him on previous occasions,
and delighted those who listened to
him for the first time. 1t was very
eloquent effort.
An ENJOYABLE musical program was
rendered during the evening by the
Sylvan Quartette, Of Philadelphia.
Each lady present was presented with
q pound box of candy.
The committee OF arrangements was
composed of William G. Wetherill,
chairman; Charles LaTcur, secretary;
