Governor Opposes Highway Commits
soin Taking over Unlmproved Parts

Trenton. March 4.-Warning the
State Highway Commission that if il
persisted in taking over unimprovcd
stretches Of road By May I. the board
would do SO contrary to the policy of
the administration. Governor Edwards.
in a letter TO the commission. today said
the cost Of the highway system. COM
p'ctcd. would approximate $40. 900 900
instead Of the $40. 600. 600 estimated by
the trainers Of the Edge highway acts.
Therefore it seemed ridiculous to him
that considerably NOR" than 100 miles of
these roads should be taken over by the
state alone.
The governor told the board he was
in hearty accord with its project of
taking over paved stretches Of roads
between sections which have been re-
constructed by the state. He called the
boards attention to the law of 1918
which provides means by which coun-
ties could improve state highways before
being token over.

Jersey Methodist Episcopal Confereu"
IN session today concurred IN a memoria
to the general conference which 70
commended the discontnuing OF tn
foreign language conferences as soon n
practicable and Incorporating then
Into the various English speaking con
ferences in whose territory they ar,
situated.
Defend Foreign Churchmen
The question brought a long discus
sion. f. NJ. Conover. Of Philadelphia
led the opposition.
I'VE are not sufficiently informed on
the question to pass upon the
memorial" Doctor Couover said. we
should investigate further. If We throw
out the slightest discouragement. it
will only tend TO have these contc"-
enccs drew away from us.
The foreign conference proved II.
self as patriotic as the English sneak
ing conference during the war. With =
out the influence of the German
Methodist Episcopal Church. there
would have been far more pro- German
ism in America, declared Mr.
Conover.
a strong protest came before the
conference from the eastern Swedish
conference on the subject Of merging
the foreign speaking conferences.
w hold that the foreign speaking
church is the only curbing and CON
trolling element of lurking dangers in
foreign assemblies. Dissolve and YOU
have removed from these peonlc the
best means OF salvation from the evil
and unpatriotic tendencies that we all
fear. We should not destroy this vital
agency, but rather extend ii By
strengthening aud encouraging foreign
work.
The Swedish conference asked for
commission. including representatives
of all foreign. speaking groups, to study
thoroughly the whole question of
amalgamation and report to the general
conference of 1924 instead OF taking the
question up at the coming general ses.
sions at Des Moines on May |.
Want Discipline Modified
The New Jersey conference today
passed memorial to the general con-
ference to modify the amusement para
graphs in the discipline. The con-
ference recommends the substitution
in Paragraph 90 of advice" in place
Of a legal paragraph that would penal
ize. The judicial paragraph. No. 700.
would be taken out.
This resolution was introduced by
the Rev. John W. Marshall. former
district superintendent and vice presi.
dent of the Ocean Grove Camp Meet
ing Association. 1t caused heated de-
bate. but was finally carried by the vote
of 90 TO Il. and the resolution was
followed by applause.
The rigorous paragraph is not oh
served" the Rev. Marshall declared in
presenting the substitution This is
conceded. Everybody knows It il not
followed and so why not make a sub
stitution as the solution.
The conference indorsed the present
movement looking to the uniiication of
the Methodist Church South and the
Northern Church.
