STATE NEWS

TRENTON, July 25-Because of
the extent and seriousness of the
forest fires in New Jersey, the
regular appropriation of $4,000 for
paying citizen fire fighters has prov
ed insufficient and an additional
sum of $1,000 has Just been given
the Department of Conservation and
Development by the State House
Commission from the emergency
funds to meet the deficit.
The department asked the legis-
lature last year to give 1t an in
creased appropriation so that it
could stop forest fires" said c. p.
WILDER, state forester. 1.-The dam
age from these fires runs into thous-
ands of dollars and this, with the
money spent for fighting Them will
far exceed the amount asked by the
department for the prevention or
curtailing of fires. .
1t would be wise economy for the
state to make provision at once for
adequate prevention and control
measures to stop the unnecessary
expenditure for lighting big fires and
the loss involved because of them.
The appropriation asked would give
complete forest protection and In
time would insure a home supply OF
timber, eliminate the huge freight
bills now paid on imported timber,
and provide wooded Fairgrounds
where charred wastes now exist
the warden continued.

HEAVYFRU|T
CROP! IN NJ
Apple and Peach Outlook
Bright, State Agricultural
Report Declares

Present indications for the l2.f
season point toward one of the larg
est and best crops OF apples aLu
peaches ever produced in New Jef's
sew, In most sections of the state
the crop il going to be considerably
larger thar was anticipated a month
or six weeks age. The increase In
the size and number of bearing trees
during the past two years WIZ un-
doubtedly result in the production OF
a crop this year equal to the crop
harvested in 1920.
Protracted wet weather has fow'
cred the quality Of early peaches
Sc mewhat. although the size Is lhi.
proved and the trees have benentcd
from the favorable growing weather
ard abundant moisture. The couh7
try's crop of peaches Is reported 10
he almost double the 1921 crop. but
in spite of this couditian, prices have
opened we'll, and with careful mar
keting the grower should receive
satisfactory returns.
While it is a little early to predict
the apple crop. conditions Indicate
a favorable year for the New Jer-
sew grower. Reports from New York
show but IS per cant Of a full crcp-
JUS. about the same as last year.
Pennsylvania. Virginia. Maryland
and West Virginia have about the
same prospects as last year, but scab
has petn reported to be the worst
in year. and great loss is occurring
through this disease. These are the
states which most affect tho New
Jersey growers. Tie boxed crop
from the West is reported about the
sa me as last year while that from
.,z WEI l. rr1 h1Ey
heavier.
On the average, the country's APP
Pile crop Is expected to. run almost
double the crop of 1921. but about
is per cent less than the big crop of
1920. The most promising feature
for the New Jersey grower is that
the crop Of Immediately surrounding
states is light while in this state
there is a heavy crop.

SEWAREN BUS
SERVICE ENDS
Committeeman DepIore Lack
! of Bus Ordinance in Wood
bridge Township

WOODBRIDGE, July 25.-Fol-
lowing a lengthy argument over the
Ius situation at Sewaren, the Wood
bridge township committee last
night by a vote of three to n de-
cided to stop all buses from run
ming to and from Sewaren for the
time being at least.
The application of Georges Bus
Line to run his cars from Carteret
to Sewaren brought the matter be-
fore the board. At the present time,
the board was told, Georges line
runs between Railway and Carteret.
Owing to the popularity af Boynton's
and Acker's beaches during the sum-
mer months there are many persons
desiring TO go to these places from
Carteret and Railway. The app1ica-
ton of Georges line for permission
to continue on through to Sewaren
resulted.
1t was alleged by rival bus opera
tors who were present at the meet
Ing, that buses belonging to Georges
line have been acting as jitneys, car
rying persons to Sewaren without
the necessary permission from
Woodbridge township and running
only irregularly. f. A. Monaghan
appeared as attorney for Georges
bus line.
Committeeman George S. Luff-
barry, of Sewaren, asserted the Sc
warren people are opposed to the
running of buses to that place from
Carteret and other places. The buses
now race through the streets OF Sc
warren, the committeeman said. and
usually contain noisy crowds OF
pleasure seekers who have no re-
gard for the late hours or the resi-
dents of Sewared who are trying 20
sleep.
Representatives of the Middlesex
County Bus Owners Association
were at the meeting and opposed
the granting of Georges application.
Acting n-at-Large Me-
Elroy was the only member OF the
beard that voted in favor of grant
iEx the application, the other three
present. Committeeman
Lunharry, Hoy and Salter, voting
No"
Committeeman William Hoy point
put that neither Woodbridge nor
Roosevelt has a bus ordinance to
control the operations of these au-
and said these places
have gotten together with
Perth Amboy two years 6 when
and work up then a system which
would result in good service.
There will never be any bus SER
vice out State street to Sewaren to
and from Perth Amboy. Committee
man McElroy said, as the Public
Utility Board will not grant permits
sion to applicants, the road paral-
Icing the tracks of the Public Ser
vice trolley company.
