Request Police Powers
for Men Employed
on Albany St. Bridge

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. I'll
Police powers for employees on the
Albany street bridge, We're reques-
ted yesterday by Mayor Robert
Johnson of Highland Park, as a
means of regulating the many traffic
jams. that occur on the bridge at n
point where neither the New Bruins
wick or Highland Park officers have
jurisdiction.
Traffic on the bridges at the pres
emit time is not regulated, and on
account of the narrowness OF the
roadway over the structure trolley
cars, automobiles, trucks and wag-
Ons going in both directions are Of
ten caught in jams as one vehicle
cuts out to pass those ahead.
This situation is quite serious as
pointed out by the mayor. on ac-
count of the mad scramble of We
hicles on the Highland Park end of
the bridge in attempting to avoid
each other in negotiating the hill
and turning to the two streets at the
left.
The bridge being under control of
the State Highway Commission, the
matter will be referred to that body
as the freeholders have no author
ity.
At the request of the Middlesex
freeholders. a joint meeting is to
lie arranged with the freeholders of
Somerset county to discuss the
much needed repairs to the culvert
ever Mile Run brook on the Lin
eoIn highway at the outskirts of
New Brunswick. The culvert and
pavement 1T that point. laying a

The Bound Brook Water Com
rany have requested that the free
holders meet with them in consul
tation over the replacement of wa
ter pipes over the bridge near East
Round Brook. Pipes at that point
hurst during the severe winter of
1918 and have never been perma-
.ently replaced.

Though the freeholders decided
some time ago that the county worn
house on Georges road should have
a direct phone connection with
New Brunswick instead of a party
wire, it is rather doubtful if the
change will be ordered in view of
the fact that it would cost the
ty S273 per year.
Since taking this matter up with
the telephone company it has been
learned that satisfactory service can
not be obtained without the cree
ton Of a new pole line, for which
the county would be expected to
defray the expense.
The real estate department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
a letter to the board, requested to
know by whose authority a portion
of their land on the old Lincoln
highway near Colonia was used in
easing off a sharp turn in the road.
This meeting was referred to Free

REARlsH COTTON FIGURES.
Government Expects the Smallest Crop
for Twenty Years.

Washington, July (By the Associ-
ated Press).-In forecasting this years
cotton crop at S.433.0O0 bales the de-
partment Of agriculture today placed
this years acreage at 26,519,000, re-
duction Of 1874 per cent, or 1O,524,000
acres from that in cultivation a year
ago, and the smallest since 1900.
Production of cotton on this estimate
will be less than in any year for more
than a quarter Of a century, the pre-
vious smaller crop having been that OF
1896, when the output was 7,l61,000
bales. This years crop promises to be
nearly 100000 bales less than last
years and almost 100000 smaller
than the record crop grown in 1914
The condition of the crop was poor
er June Is than on that date In any
year during the last 20. That Is at
tributed to an adversely late. wet
spring, the presence of the boil weevil
and use Of one-third less fertilizer
generally than the average for the last
four years. The condition of 6s.2 per
cent. Of a normal was an improvement
of 3.2 per cent over May 25, but it was
almost ten points below the ten year
average for that date.
There was considerable abandon
ment Of planted acreage, especially
east of the Mississippi river, which the
crop reporting board considered In the
compilation Of its acreage figures. The
exact extent Of this abandonment, was
not announced.
The poor condition of the crop Is ~
dicated in the forecast Of production
inasmuch as smaller acreage in the
years from 1896 to 1900, inclusive, pro-
duced larger crops than that forecast
for this year. The acreage yield Is
forecast at 1922 pounds per acre.
The preliminary estimate OF acreage
and the condition On June rs by states
follow:
Virginia, acreage $4,000, condition 70.
North Carolina, 1.lS6,O00. and 81.
South Carolina. 2,1sO.oOo and IS.
Georgia, 100000, and 81.

OXEN FOR THE EAST
Connecticut Farmers Still Use Them
DESPITE Tractors.

Despite Tractors.
While thousands of tractors are re-
ported to be on their way west, shipped
to farmers from eastern manufactur-
ers, there is representative Of Con-
necticut farmers in Kansas City buying
oxen to work on Connecticut farms.
This man is c. F. Co!coid, an Illinois
farmer, who also operates in Connecti-
cut, and represents farmers there.
Mr.. Colcoid attends the sales at the
stock yard. keeping on the lookout for
old steers which would not be very
good as beef cattle but which are
usable as work cattle. These he buys
and sends back to Connecticut whers
they are. auctioned off to farmers.
Owing to the condition of the hilly
country he states that they are the
most practical motive power for pull
ing plows and farm machines.
Mr.. Colcoids peculiar mission has
attracted the attention Of many far
mers who came. into the yards with
stock and he has been the butt OF Jests
at the old fashioned means used back
east" when the west is turning rapidly
to motorized farm machinery. In reply
to these humorous remarks he said:
you know Connecticut farmers are
little old fashioned. 1t is common
pre- ctice among these Yankee farmers
in the Old New England states to cut
grain by hand and to p!ow with a
team of oxen. All these cattle which
send back are auctioned off by the
head, some farmers coming as far as
fifty miles to attend the sales"

so'emn!y assured other folks awaiting

That every man. woman and child
who attended the First Reunion of
York County service men held in
Yorkville yesterday as a. Fourth of
July celebration, thoroughly enjoyed
the day was the statement made, by
people Of every class and calling ask
ed last night as to just how they felt
about it. The crowd came early in the
morning and made Z whole day Of it.
They came in automobiles, automo.
bile trucks, on the trains, in wagons,
afoot and in every conceivable way.
1T was a hot day for them. Cold ice
water placed along the streets and at
other accessible places by request Of
the American Legion was inadequate
to quench their thirst. Vendors Of re-
freshments sold, tub after tub Of lem
onade. Hundreds of cases Of pop were
disposed of and in fact it was said last
night that the manufacturers Of bot
tied drinks literally mopped up.
Legionaires and people generally
were very much disappointed because
of the inability of Capt. Oscar K.
Mauldin to be present. The presiding

Mecklenburg, CASTOR and Cleveland

liberty was staged in either of the
