istration. He is for woman suffrage
and believes that the people of the
United States should have an opporl
tunity to vote on the question of
national prohibition. He is for gov
eminent ownership or control of util-
tiles in the event that experience
proves that such policy is the proper
one to be adopted in connection with
greater public control of utilities. He
is convinced that government con-
troll of railroads and telephone and
telegraph lines for the period of the
war will prove whether continued con-
troll or ownership is the proper solution
OF the utilities problem. In his plat
form the governor indicates the same
general public service policy that has
made his administration in New Jer-
sey the best the state has.ever known.

A very attractive honor roll board
is about to be erected by the Com

will be furnished the Commission.
In attendance at Tuesday evening s
meeting of the City Commission rep
| resentatives of the various telephone
and telegraph companies operating in
Bordentown were present and gave
assurance that it had been the policy
of these concerns to jointly use one
line of poles in all requirements. The
governing body, in making this sug-
gestion to the companies had in mind
the elimination of many unsightly
and unnecessary poles and the mem
bers of the Board were pleased to learn
that the companies would cooperate
in this economic plan.
The unsanitary condition of the gut
ters on the main thoroughfare was a
matter for discussion by the commits
sioners on Tuesday evening. 1t is the
Lopinion of many people that the local
board is responsible for these condi-
tions and the members have been un-
justly censured accordingly. 1t devel-
oped that the city has no jurisdiction
on this street other than to police and
light it, as it is part of the county
road. The freeholders and the county
board have been appealed to from time
to time to abate this nuisance, but
without effect. Relief will now be
sought by referring the matter to the
State Board of Health.
Fire of unknown origin was discover
ed in the wareroom and packing house
of the Ironsides Pottery, Peterborough
on Saturday evening. The alarm was
given by the whistles of the keystone
Tube Works and the Bordentown
Forge Company whose plants adjoin
that of the pottery. The fire de-
partment from this city responded
and for several hours battled with the
fire which proved stubborn one.
The great volume of smoke caused by
the burning straw and hay in the
packing room made the work of the
firemen very difficult. The extent of
damage has not as yet been ascertain
ed. There were several thousand
dollars worth Of sanitary wares stored
in the building and it is not known
whether or not this will be total loss.

time was intended to be built on the

Workmen from Amatol state that

present rate of construction it will take
a year or longer to complete the whole
plant. The plans were to put 1000
men, son the job, but the most they
have had so far is 1000, and the hot
weather in July thinned out their
working forces to a large extent
because of the heat in the pine woods.
II is hoped to start loading shells soon
IN the first units to be completed.
Workers will be able to live at the

Along the Shore.

Because forty-three voters of Dover
township, Ocean county, which in
cludes Toms River, who are in the mill
itary or naval service of the United
States, did not have an opportunity to
vote in the special local option election
held in Dover on May 28, an opinion
was filed in the supreme court by JUS
tice Kalisch, last week, setting aside
the dry victory that resulted from the
election. This decision plainly indi-
Gates that for special elections to be
valid, soldiers and sailors of municipal
tiles in which such elections are held
must be given every opportunity to
cast their ballots.
In the Dover election POI votes were
polled by drys and 275 bv the vets,
resulting in prohibition victory by a
majority of sixteen votes. In the at
tack upon the election the vets set up
that forty-three men Of the township
are in the military and naval service
OF this number thirty-four are in the
United States, and of the thirty four
there were eighteen in military can
tonments or naval training stations in
New Jersey at the time of the election,
Justice Kalisch found that suffi-
cient number of legal voters of the
township were absent from the town
ship and in the naval and military
service to have changed the dry VIC
tory into one for the vets if the absent
voters had had an opportunity to vote
and had voted for continuation of the
sale Of liquor
A big section of deer woods between
Woodbine and Tuckahoe was burned
over on July 27, and it was long after
nightfaIl before it had spent itself.
Railroad men sent there to fight the
fire saw number of deer routed from
their lairs and one man counted twen-
ty-two None were burned, but the
chances are that the animals will now
seek other homes and that the usual
fall deer shooting around that section
will not be so good. The hut occupied
by the Antler Club, of Woodbury., had
narrow escape from destruction.
In the Ocean county court, last week,
Mrs. Mosella Mathews was fined $500
for keeping disorderly house at Lake
wood. Dorothy Elisburg, same charge,
same town, was fined $400. The bail
of $500 of Stella Elisburg. of Lake
wood, was ordered forfeited, as she did
not appear for trial on charge OF sell
ing liquor without license Mrs. Nina
Ramage, for keeping disorderly house
at Mayetta, was fined $780, to be paid
