FALL LUMBER TRADE
/ SHOWING ACTIVITY
indications Seen That Build
ing viii Continue While
Weather Remains Open.

The lumber market continues ac-
tive, with fall needs running into
substantial volume and asserting a
strengthening influence on prices,
especially in view of low stocks of
popular woods. There is a heavy
call for yard and shed items, says
the American Lumberman, Chicago.
Building is active in most cities. The
large number of building permits
taken out and other facts indicate
not only that there will be great ac-
tivity IN the construction field as long
as the weather remains open, but also
a continuation of building through
out the winter for early spring de-
livery. Reports from agricultural
sections indicate steady. though slow.
Improvement in country trade and
lumbermen believe this month will
bring out considerable business from
this source. Industries remain busy,
and are buying fairly well.
Car Orders in Evidence.
Orders for straight cars are more
in evidence than for some time, show
ing that though strict conservatism
is still practiced, many dealers are
stocks. Those wanting mixed cars
often experience trouble in placing
their orders, because of the unfavor-
able supply situation at many mills.
Due to the difficulty in securing
Douglas fir. which is in very strong
position on account of the heavy
cargo trade, much of the middle
western and eastern trade goes 20
southern pine. While prices on this
wood have shown no notable advances
recently, they hold strongly and
manufacturers refuse to bid for
orders.
Southern pine exporters state that
demand and inquiries from Europe,
are heavy and that prices on export
stock are advancing. Japan is re-
ported to have begun buying for re-
construction purposes on the west
coast, taking squares and sawn lum-
ber in quantities.
Pine and Hemlock Stronger,
Northern pine and hemlock are
somewhat stronger, but other soft
woods show no essential change.
Cypress and redwood are firm, while
western pines and North Carolina
pine are still weak.
Continued expansion in demand for
hardwoods is reported from all pro-
ducing sections. There is a steady
flow of orders from all leading con-
sumers, who are buying frequently
rather than in quantity. The hard
wood market meanwhile is working
into stronger position, and the price
tendency is more markedly upward
as the scarcity of dry stocks in
CreaSeS.

linquency to misunderstanding of the
law.
The collector suggests that all per-
sons who did not comply with this
provision in the law call at his office,
or file amended returns, as 1t IS the
policy of the department not to assess
heavy penalties when disclosures are
voluntarily made. Unless this is done
the full penalty, a fine of $1,000, will
be imposed.

200 PRISONERS
WORK ON ROADS
Men From Trenton Prison and
LeeSburg Farm Will be
Available This Year

TRENTON, May 15:-Principal
Keeper Joseph S. Hoff has notified
the Department Of Institutions and
Agencies that a total of $50 men
from the state prison and the Lees
burg prison farm will be available
for work on road construction. OF

necessity of road camps and conse-
quent escapes which characterized
the last prison labor on the roads.
Under the plan now evolved the men
will be returned to either the farm
or the prison each night in trucks
and the jobs on which they will work
must be SO located that this can be
done.

representing the State Board of In
Stitutions and Agencies and the State
Prison Board of Managers will meet
here today in Offices of the former

problems referred to them by the

ter the session is over. Institutions

AGAIN DEBATE
WATER SUPPLY
Woodbridge Township Com
mittee viii Investigate
Further Before Taking
Action

WOODBRIDGE, May 15:-The
question of an adequate water supply
for the Fords district came under
discussion again at the meeting of
the township committee last night.
Committeeman Albert Larson, chair
man of the water and fire committee,
gave a report of the conference
which that body held with officials
of the Middlesex Water Company
last week, relative to the low water
pressure in the second ward, which
was the cause of complaints by tax
payers in that district.
In his report Mr.. Larson brought
out that the water company would
lay q twenty-four-inch main from
Plainfield to this township in order
to remedy the present shortage. The
report embodied the statement that
the two large tanks situated on the
Bloomfield hills have not been filed
in five or six years. The tanks have
a capacity of one million gallons,
according to the water company. Mr..
Larson's report included the recon-
mendation that in order to meet the
existing situation, water from Perth
Amboy is to be requisitioned in ac-
cordance with a proposal of the
water company. The company Of
fered to contract for one million gall
Ions of water daily with the Perth
Amboy Water Works.
Mr.. Larson's report, seemingly, did
not please Committeeman William
d. Hoy. He accused Mayor Louis
Neuberg with appointing committees
ION paper only" and Having them
act as mere figureheads." Mr.. Hoy
charged the members with identical
procedure. Committeeman Larson
pointed out that the subcommittee
In question would be consulted in
time, but Mr.. Hoy increasingly wor-
ried why the subcommittee has not
"functioned."
Mayor Neuberg made strenuous
efforts to convince Committeeman
Hoy that the subcommittee which
includes George w. Wood, of the
Fords National Bank, would be taken
into confidence as to the water prob
as soon as the township officials
acquire more tangible data about the
problem that c%onfronts not
only Fords but the township as a
For the specific benefit of
committeeman Hoy, Mayor Neuberg
told partly of the problems of the
municipalities throughout the county
to cope with the situation.
Mr.. hoy asked that the township
hold a hearing in Fords next Friday
night or possibly the week after on
the question whether the people in
his district would have the Perth
Amboy water. His motion for the
hearing was overruled when Mayor
Neuberg dwelt on the fact that a
hearing at this time would be useless
pointing out that the township must
acquaint itself with matters pertain
ing to the water trouble before at
tempting to hold a public hearing.
The long discussion ended with
Jocular remarks by Mr.. Hoy who in
cldentally declared himself half
dead in politics"
Il will eve serve on any town
ship committee again, if [ am elected
or not" was Mr.. Hoy's concluding
remark.
