Jersey liberia Peaches Travel
liberia peaches, which by truck
load and train load, are pouring in a
golden food from New Jersey or
chards last week into a score of states,
are probably the most profitable fruit
variety known to the United States,
says the Bureau of Markets of the
State Department of Agriculture.
They will represent this year at least
80 per cent of the peach crop in New
Jersey, which is one Of the leading
peach-growing states.
The bureau declares that because OF
its quality the liberia has superseded
as a commercial peach the older va
~rieties, such as the once popular Craw-
ford. In addition to its quality for
eating and canning, it carries we'll,
keeps well and is a good yielder.
The big demand for yellow peaches
this year will make the Elberta a prof
liable crop to growers. Prices, which
fell below cost of production on early
varieties that were in competition
with the late southern crop, recovered
quickly under the spur Of the all for
the big yellow fruit for canning.
For Tax Revision
With fifteen tax experts deputized to
represent New Jersey at the annual
conference of the National Tax Asso-
citation at White Sulphur Springs in
September, the state should get a lof
of information that will be useful in
the revision of it's tax laws. Governor
Silzer tried to induce the Legislature
to attack the problem last winter.
That he is still deeply interested Is
manifested by his selection of dele
gates to the White Sulphur Springs
conference, who include all of the
members of the State Board of Assess
ment and Taxation and prominent tax
ing officials of the cities and counties.
Kearny Meadows Development
The important projected industrial
development on tn Kearny meadows
has been advanced a step with the be-
ginning of work on the new S20, 000,-
900 super-power station of the Public
Service Electric Power Company, the
new subsidiary of the Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey.
Plans have been announced for the
improvement Of this section of the
meadows through the paving OF a main
theroughfare, Bergen avenue, to the
populated residential section of Kear-
ny. Viaducts will be built over the
railroads in the area to facilitate COM
m~unication, and connections will be
made with the area Of the meadows
to be occupied by the proposed $780,
900 900 plant of the Western Electric
Company south of the Lincoln high
way. Together it is hoped to form a
unified industrial district
The connection with the Western
Electric plant will be accomplished
finally through the opening and I'M
provement of Central avenue, a wide
thoroughfare which 10 to run south to
the confluence of the Passaic and
Hackensak rivers. In this way the
Immediate traffic requirement Of the
Industrial section will be fully met.
100000 Orders Placed
For the building of the big power
station orders have been placed for
upward of $4,000, 900 worth of equip
ment so that the manufacturers can
20 forward with generators, condens'
ers, boilers and the like while the
building is being made ready for them.
Five turbo-generators, each Of which
Is of larger capacity than anything Of
the kind ever installed in New Jersey,
have been contracted for. Three will
be General Electric machines and two
Westinghouse generators, and collec'
lively they will provide about 200 ,0o0
kilowatts of energy that. will be avail
able for power and lighting. Five con.
densers and fifteen boilers to go with
the generators have likewise been or
dered. The boilers will be of 2,60e
horsepower each and arranged in five
batteries Of three units each so that
each generator will be served with
three boilers. Mechanical stokers will
soon be contracted for.
More than 100 acres of Kearny
meadows fronting on the Hackensack
river and lying between the Lincoln
highway and the Pennsylvania rail
road will be used for the power house
of 200, 900 kilowatt capacity-its aux
Hilary structures, space for storing anG
facilities for handling upward of 200,
900 tons of coal. Construction work
will be done by Public Service Pro
duction Company. The plant will be
leased by the power company to the
Public Service Electric Company.
Highway Network
For many years this eig~hteen-foot
thoroughfare provided the only mean
of access from the old Plank road
now Lincoln highway, to the old Har
rison turnpike, now partly Newark
turnpike and partly Harrison avenue,
The street skirts the Hackensack river
and so closely at various points that
It rendered undesirable the property
now to be used for the superplant.
