Plainfield Radio Association was
forwarded to Senator Edge by Nell
son Durham of New Brunswick,
who asserted that it represented
the views of all the radio anna
teurs of New Jersey who believe
that the radio supply manufacture
are are seeking a strange hold
on the radio business.
1t charges hat importation of ra-
do tubes, ever for govern
ment purposes, is virtually prohib-
tied by the combine of the affiliated
radio manufacturing interests.
Thus America is restricted to tubes
of comparatively inferior quality
and to a most limited section as
to power and type" reads the petit
ton. "Fo, instance, four-elenIent
tubes are not obtainable in this
country, though freely made and
used abroad"
your petitioners pray that radio
tubes be placed upon the
free list, at least for research and
amateur experimental purposes.

STATE BUDGET
ECONOMY MOVE
Gives Ruling on Prohibiting
Salary Increases for N. J.
Employees This Year

TRENTON, July 1.-THE recent
edict OF the State Budget Commits
sion prohibiting salary increases
this yea for state employees receive
ing less than $50 a month or $50
and maintenance, does not apply to
employees who did not receive
scheduled increases during the fis-
cal year ending June LIST. Such is
the Interpretation placed on the or
der. and the commissions subse-
quent regulations, by the Civil Ser
vice Commission at a meeting here.
The commission also allowed In
creases for eight workers in the
State Taxes and Assessment office.
totai:ng $50 a month. the ground
that these raises were approved by
the budget authorities as the basis
of a reorganization of the office
before the beginning of the present
fiscal year.
On recommendation of State
Comptroller Bugbee. six utilitymen
were granted SO monthly in
creases. In his request. the comp
troller stated the men were re-
duced in salary June /. 1921. This
apparently brings them within the
ruling that those failing to get
raises during the last fiscal year,
are still eligible fer increases.
Another Increase approved under
this ruling as one of from $3.50 to
$3.50 a year for Norman p. Dor
sett, senior auditor in the Depart
ment of Municipal Accounts in the
c~omptrolle,'s department.
Payment of $50 a month for a
chauffeur tor Adjutant General Gill
kysor during the Sea Girt encamp-
ment was approved.
The commission approved pay
ment of $500 to Col. John NJ. Rog-
ers of the adjutant generals office,
for extra work rendered the ad-
iutant generals office in connection
with the preparation, prosecution
and adjustment of claims filed by
veterans of the Civil, Spanish
American and World wars" The
board ruled, however, that such ap-
proval cannot be granted again.
A request for a raise from $1,000
to $4,000 q year from Deputy Su-
pe~rintendent Benjamin H. Crosby
of the Railway Reformatory. was
turned down by the Civil Service
authorities.
The commission ruled that it had
no jurisdiction over the payment of
something over $26,400 in a year to
six assistants for the engineer of
the Perth Amboy bridge to be built
for the State Highway Com mission.
This action was taken on the
ground that the men are employed
IN a temporary capacity. The build
ing Of the bridge is estimated to
take about three years.
Raises for employees of the SUI
preme court clerks office were dis
approved.

Visitors Day at New Sacred
Heart Chapel Impressive
Event

METUCHEN, July 12.-Last Sun
day for the first time the New Sa-
cred Heart Chapel recently dedicated
at Metuchen, was thrown open to
the public and throughout the after
noon a continual procession of de-
vout worshippers from far and near
filled this beautiful new shrine of
the Sacred Heart. Many and varied
were the expressions of commenda-
ton heard on every side. All ad-
mired the artistic effect of this new
place of worship. Prominent among
the visitors were noticed several Sis
ters of Mercy, headed by Rev. Moth
er M. Cecilia, Superior, and Rev.
Mother NJ. st. John, dean of the
College from Mt. st. Mary, Plain
field. N. J..
At 3 O'Clock a special musical
program was given in the new chapel
followed by a benediction of the
most blessed sacrament. The nov
ices and students of the order by
their melodious and devotional rem
dering of several sacred numbers
were the recipients of much praise.
Then the visitors were shown over
the spacious campus adjoining the
chapel after which refreshments
were served in the community re-
fectory to which all present were
invited. AS the visitors departed
all expressed themselves as delight
ed with the hospitable reception ten
dered them by the Brothers of the
Sacred Heart.
This chapel is a splendid building
of the Observation-Disclosures
style of architecture and is a credit
to the designing architect, Emile G.
Perrot, New York-Philadelphia. The
new chapel will easily accommodate
over two hundred and when COM
pletely furnished will cost upwards
of 100000.
The three affairs from Mcbride
Studio, New York, r of Carrara
marble and were imported direct
from Italy. They are excellent speci-
mems of the sculptor's art and work
manship. Surmounting the main
altar is a life-size statue also of the
purest white marble of the Sacred
Heart with arms extended inviting
all to come to Him to be refreshed.
Thanking this statue are the two
adoring angels while beneath the
table is exquisitely carved Da Vinci's
immortal Last Supper. The other
statues, all marble, include the I'm
maculate Heart, st. Joseph, st. John
the Beloved, and st. Margaret Mary
all special friends of the Sacred
Heart.
The Stations of the Cross supplied
by Bernardini Statuary Company,
New York, are of costly material
and beautiful examples of tasty art
in keeping with the chaste and SIM
pie designs of interior. This private
oratory presents a scene at once
chaste and artistic and invites to
recollection and prayer whilst the
skilful arrangement and disposition
of the whole expresses in stone and
other material in silent but eloquent
effect m grand "Sursum Corda."

STATE CONTINUES STUDY
Of WATER SITUATION

TRENTON, July 12.-As a fur
Their study of water supply condl-
tons made in connection with inc
North jersey situation. State water
Engineers Fl. T. Critchlow and o.
w. Hartwell recently inspected the
Catskill Water Supply for New
York. The Catskill is the larges:
water supply system in the Worid
and is in some respects comparable
to the Long Hill system proposed
for the metropolitan district of New
Jersey by Allen Hazen in his sur
vey of the states water resources
for the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development. Discussing
the two systems in an interview here
today Mr.. Critchlow said:
"The Catskill is being built IN
sections as an increased supply of
water is needed much as the Long
Hill system could be built. With
the addition of the Schoharie reser-
voir, which is now nearing compile
ton to the present Ashokan n
Kensico reservoirs the total yield
will be approximately the same as
that of the Long Hill.
"The New York supply. however
is much more costly than h New
Jersey one would be since the dis
lance between the source of supply
and the city is much greater. Mr..
HaZen estimated hat the cost OF
the Long Hill system will be only So
per cent. of that of the Catskill.
The Catskill supply cost s152,0oo,-
900 up to April /, 1922 and there
were still contracts totaling $685.
100000 to be completed. The total
cost, therefore, will be 100000
distributed over a period of 20
years.
I'm connection with the discus
sion of the length of time necessary
to construct an adequate system for
North Jersey cities. it is interesting
to note that the preliminary plans
for obtaining water from the Cats
kills were prepared in 1908. Water
was first delivered to the Borough
OF the Bronx in 1915 and to the
rest of the city two years later.
1917. The entire system will be
completed it is expected by 1925 or
possibly before"
