go on stone shipments, forced him to
shut down. This embargo, besides de-
laying the work, has in~terferred ma
terially with the arrangements. The
concrete mixer hired from Mr.. Slough
for this work is now needed by him
on the Long Bank Bridge and your
Committee does not know where an
other mixer can be secured or when
further stone will be received. The
situation is particularly unfortunate in
view of the fact that the repairs to
the amiesite road in and about Penns
Grove have not yet been made. While
this road does not seem to be deterior-
ating very rapidly, the continued delay
in repairing the holes will doubtless
cause considerable damage.

County Roads and Bridges

At the last meeting of the County
Board of Freeholders, engineer H. B.
Keasbey made the following report:
HAWKS BRIDGE-An investiga-
ton of the main timbers in this bridge
showed that they need replacing. 1t
was also found that the white oak
plank mentioned in the last report of
your Committee overloaded the draw
span. AS you know, the two ends of
the draw are of different length and
the bridge is kept in balance by
weights at the shore end. Your Com
mittee therefore decided to use white
cedar plank on this bridge instead of
white oak plank. They have also au-
thorized the purchase of new timber.
LOWER CANAL BRIDGE-The
placing of the plates over the cracks
in the centre pier to keep the water
from entering the pit, mentioned in
the May report of your Committee,
have been completed. The cost of
this work amounted to approximately
$145. AS Mr.. Campbell agreed to do
this work and guaranteed that the
cost should not exceed $125, a bill for
$125, which is satisfactory to Mr..
Campbell has been approved for pay
ment. A further bill for approximate
ly $50 for repairs to the valve, which
was not included in the original agree
ment, has also been approved.
PENIS GROVE & PENNSVILLE
ROAD, 3rd Section, from Churchtown
to Lower Canal Bridge.-Your con-
tractor is now laying concrete on this
road. He has accumulated a large
amount of material at the rail head
and hopes to be able to secure suffic-
ent material to complete the job with
out further delay. A payment of S172
has been allowed him.

Embargo Causes Big Drop in Tomato
Price

The farmers of Swedesboro and Vi
cinity, together with other tomato
growers, see nothing but a great f.
nancial loss to them unless the embar-
go to the New England States and
north of Trenton is lifted and tomato
shipments go thru. Thursday morn
ing there were thousands of crates of
tomatoes at the Swedesboro shipping
point with but very few buyers, only
those for the Philadelphia markets
and other nearby points buying. The
buyers of such markets were able TO
get all the tomatoes they needed at so
and rs cents a crate, while several
thousand crates were without buyers.
For some time the railroad company
has refused to guarantee delivery of
tomatoes to the New England mar
kets. A shipment made to Boston
last Friday at $3.50 a crate, arrived
there Wednesday and sold for SIPS.
The cause of delay in shipment IS
the lay down of the railroad men,
whose actions are proving enemies to
society.

BRITISH BELIEVE POISONOUS GAS
 BEST WEAPON
New Dye-Stuff Import Regu- lations of Britain Inter
 preted by Officials

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-By the passage of the dye-sIuffs import reg. ulatiOnS act, Great Britain has tlefin. itely accepted the theory that poison gas will be the supreme weapon of the next war and at the same time has opened the way for the entry of German dyes into this country. ac- cording to the views expressed tonight by chemical experts of the govern. ment
 Tho British act, which became law yesterday prohibits the importation Of dyCstuffs into Great Britain for 10 years, which, goVeInmant experts de. clare, will enable England tJ buili up her dye industry to q point Of com .plete independence from the outside world.
 Poison gas and .Irestuf:s both come from coal tar, it was explained and from the manufacture of the commer- cial article to the production Of the military weapon is but another step. in continuous process. By insurng the development of the dye industry, chemical experts here said Great Britain has laid the ground work for possible widespread use of gas in warfare as chemical factories can turn from the manufacture of dye; Stuffs 10 the production of poison gas practically at will
 Direct competition in this country between German and American made dyes is also seen by officials nere as a result Of the British dyestuffs act. While the act prohibits the importa- ton of dye products into the United Kingdom, the restriction does not ap-5 ply to goods imported for expOrta-. tion after transit through the United Kingdom or by way of transshipment Under the present war trade board regulations. officials explained, dyes may not be imported into this cojm-. try when it can be shown they are of German origin. But it would be practically impossible. they added 10 determine the origin of goods shipped by way of England if the castings were changed before consignment to this country.
 An influx of German dyes would probably mean, officials frankly stat ed. that the development Of the American industry would be hindered and consequently the United States would fall behind the other nations in ability to produce poison gas Tn the event Of d war.

Bank President Collapses As Court Sentences Him to
 Prison for Embezzlement

BARRE, Vt. Dec. 2S.--A sentence of four to seven years at hard labor in the state prison was imposed to- day on Frank G. Rowland. president of the Barre Savings Bank and Trust Company. after he had pleaded guilty to embeZzlmnet of the banks funds. The charges on which he was arrested set his thefts at s25,0S0. but when Rowland objected to an item of $10,- 500 his admission of guilt was ac- cepted on the four other counts az gregating $15, ,4S0.
 Rowland suffered partial collapse when sentence was pronounced. He had asked that he be fined instead ot imprisoned so that he might be able to assist in straightening out the affairs of the institution which was closed as a result of this thetts five weeks ago.
 Rowland is 90 years of age. He has served in both branches of the Yer mont legislature.
