sey City, Republican, as circuit court
Judge. Mr.. Spear will join the legal
staff Of the Public Service Corpora

In his letter the governor said: "It
is unfortunate that New Jersey Is SO
situated that the reward held out to
it's bench is not sufficient to meet the
larger inducements offered by some OF
its corporations, who are apparently
in a position to come near paying the
actual worth of service rendered"

New Jersey Bonds
The state treasury will be benefited
miums from the sale of $5,00000O OF
tunnel and bridge bonds by the State
House Commission. The bonds will
bear interest at Az per cent, and the
facts that they were more than three
times oversubscribed and that the bids
ranged from $1O0.875 to $103 indicate
their great popularity with investors.
Three different banking companies
offered to take the entire issue. Two
of them are New York institutions
But the bonds are to go to New Jer-
sey banks, and most of them VIII no
doubt ultimately fall into the hands OF
investors in this state. At the present
time there is considerable demand for
long term bonds, that are regarded as
"gilt edge" such as the bridge and
tunnel issue.
