PUSH NORTH &
SO nth RID. BILL
Chairman Large Appoints Lambert
viii Members On Huaterdon
Highway Committee.

When the North n South High
way bill was proposed Pennington
enthusiasts formed what is known as
"The Hunterdon, County Highway
Committee" as non-partisan organ
i2ation to push the proposition. At
that time this paper called attention
to the fact that altho Lambertville
is the largest city in the County, no
representation was given on the com,
mittee to this city.
q Evidently consideration Of the
matter showed the committee that
this was grave error. At any rate
at the first meeting of the committee
held at Pennington Thursday, Jan1l,
ten Lambertville citizens were APP
pointed by Chairman Geo. X. Large,
II. Smith. Theodore Kitchin,Jos Ha-
zen, James Cleary, Chas. D. McCrack-
en-, Gordon Cooper, Andrew iFoltz,
DR.. Chas. f. Wagg, and Chas. Malloy.
These received notifications from
Chairman Large this week, and all
indications are that they will use their
best influence to have the North a
South Highway" known as Route II
approved by the Legislature.
The bill, tSenate Bill No. 66), was
introduced by Senator Agans last Mon
day. 1t provides State Highway
from Trenton to Pennington TO Mar
shall's Corner, to Woodsville, to Rim
goes, to Pennington to Clinton to Glen
Gardner to Hampton to Washington to
Buttsville. Then spur from the
Delaware Bridge at Lambertville to
Ringoes. This last connects Phila.
with the route. and at Woodsville con
nection is made with the east and
west highway from the Water Gap to
New York,
If this is secured it win mean an
annual maintenance of $4,000 as
sumed by the State, and thus leaving
more funds for improving Hunter
don roads.

comodated in the auditorium, hut
thousands thronged the streets for
the parade. that followed.
In striking contrast to Governor
Pinehot's address, which demanded
that Prohibition be strictly enforced
in Pennsylvania. Governor Silzer
promised to do all in his power to
modify the amendment so that light
wines and beers be authorized in New

prevailed in Trenton during his in
augural. The cup that cheers" was
decidedly in evidence. A police off
Ger was overheard TO remark, "There
are undoubtedly over 10000 visitors
in town today" Whereupon he was
asked, and how many of them do
YOU suppose have something on the
hip?" The officer replied promptly,
About 10000"
Prominent among the ideas express
ed by Governor Silzer was his deter
mination to do away with the present
expensive Highway Commission, and
replace it with commission of three
members This will be welcomed by
those of the State who have realized
the extravaganza employed by the
present board in it's awarding of con
tracts for patented paveing that weai'
out before it can be paid for. The
present Highway Commission has
eight high salaried men.
Another thing promised influence

Creditors To Sue
Jespersen Corp.

Lambertville-- Creditors Of the Jes-
persen Newsprint Corporation, whose
mill was burned here recently, have
filed claims against the corporation
aggregating $4,000. The plant was
insured against fire for 100000, but
only about half of this was paid for
the damages done by the fire,
In addition to the above claims
there are mortgages on the property
for some $4,000. 1t is evident that
the claims against the firm are more
than three times its assets. Attorney
Horace G. Prall is representing
the creditors. These are for mater
ials, supplies, improvements, work,
etc. by firms in Lambertville, New
Hope, Philadelphia, New York and
other places.

FIRE DESTROYS
PUMPING STA.

New Hcoe- The Philade phia Il Read
ing pumping station in the Yards here
was destroyed by fire Wednesday eve-
ming. John Hartman. Jr., who has
charge of the station, had gone to the
depot TO attend some duties there
before the Philadelphia train arrived,
and when he returned at 7.15 the
pump house was enveloped in flames
The alarm was Immediately sounded
and Eagle Fire Engine was soon ON
the scene. But the flames had gain
ed such Roadway that it was impos-
sble to save the building.
The four fire companies of Lam
bertyille also responded to the alarm,
but the building was too far gone
to be saved, The building was of
wood, and altho the loss was not great
the pumps have been put out of COM
mission and there may be consider
able Inconvenience in supplying water
for 7. 4 Il. locomotives. The exact
loss could not be given by the station
agent when he was questioned.
Incident to the response of the Lam
bertville fire engines there was re-
vealed the need of II permanent floor
ing on the Delaware Bridge. The
wooden flooring, while perfectly safe
for ordinary traffic observing reguu-
lations, cannot stand up under severe
strain. The bridge tender reported
several planks broken after the pass
age of the heavy fire trucks, and some
of them had been Jared completely
out of place.

GOVERNMENT SET TO

Public Letter from

Government machinery is all

grain in storage" says Gray Sill

plan for wheat storage which il
practically identical with that
proposed by the Farm Bureau

The only question still unset.
tied is the matter of what kind
of farm granaries may be used
in the plan. This must wait
for a definite ruling by Secretary
Wallace on the manner in which
the new warehousing act is to be
administered.
With the Departments posi-

says Mr.. Silver, the next move
is up to the farmers. The Farm
Loan board, which administers
the intermediate Credit Banks.

to accept warehouse receipts on
wheat in warehouses approved
by the Department of Agricul-

Mr.. Pugsley says: An individ-

business and which can meet
the requirements may be licen-

community might form a storing
corporation. Farm storage fa-
cilities could be sold or leased TO
such an organization and the
