HARMONY ON BRIDGE QUESTION.

Good progress was made on settling the va
rious disputed questions in connection with the
eaghway bridge over the Raritan river
Yesterday. Mayor Wilson and City Engineer
Larson presented the city's side OF the matter
IN a convincing manner and the State Highway
Commission showed a willingness to cooperate
nat was decidedly creditable to that organiza-
ion--
Middlesex county is fortunate in having a
Niddlesex man, Geo. L. Burton. of South River
az chairman Of the highway commission. Mr..
Burton is able to understand the situation from
first hand knowledge and will doubtless do
everything within his power to see that justice
Is done all around. State Engineer Wasser also
was most friendly during the whole proceedings
so that there is every reason to believe that IN
carrying on this important work there will be
the utmost harmony between the city and state
Mr.. Burton has been at the head of the high
way commission but a comparatively short
time, yet he shows a mastery knowledge OF
The whole system and has shown excellent judg-

OPPOSING THE ADMINISTRATION.

there will be no policy of obstruction in mat

which faces the nation, as far as the Democrats
az concerned. Strange, isn't it. that Republican
senator's should just happen to realize what a
fine thing it is not to put distractions in the

faith. When we recall the attitude of the Re-

All men are born poets The Ian
guage Of childhood is the language
of poetry. not Of cold fact. The
earliest literature OF all ancient
peoples is poetry. Only by long
processes Of ~cultivating our stupid

Will Carleton told US long ago Of
a farmers son who vas so much a

his attempt at matrimony:
'"Tom he went a counting: she liked

But certain parts OF counting a Teller

He rhymed her each day a letter
But that didn't seem to get her.
He waited so long she married an

And wrote and told him she's done
it, and not to forget to write"

MAY ASK PRESSURE
OF GAS Be ALTERED
Washington Gas Company
Z Says Higher Pressure Is

The Washington Gas Light Com
pany, it was learned today, is con-
sidering asking the Public Utilities
Commission to make some adjust
ments in the regulations governing
the pressure at which gas may be
distributed.
Regulations adopted shortly after
the utilities commission was created
permit the pressure of gas to vary
between and 6 inches.
Washington has grown rapidly in
the past few years. and with this
growth has come corresponding
increase in the number Of gas users
An engineer of the company pointed
out that during the hours of the
day when every home is using gas
for cooking it is absolutely neces-
sary for the company TO increase
pressure in order to meet the de-
mand
This company official declared that
increased pressure. contrary to the
belief of many users, is more eco
nomical than low pressure. He ex-
pressed the belief that q given piece
of work can be done more efficiently
from the consumers standpoint with
four inches of pressure than with
one inch of pressure.
In answer to d question the engi-
neer of the company stated. however.
that it is important that the burners
of the stove. heater or other appli-
ance be properly regulated to give
the right combustion and not waste
gas.
The company has a corps of en-
pioyes who Investigate complaints of
the quality of service. Frequently
these investigators find. it was stated
by the official. that the trouble lies
in the regulation of tEe appliance

Officials of the company believe
that many persons who complain of

now through the introduction of gas
