MAN FINED $50 FOR
DISTURBANCE ON TRAIN

TOTTENVILLE, July 12:-The
next time that Nicholas Skirbal, a
boss window cleaner, giving his adj
dress as 416 West 47th street Man
haitian, rides over on the ferry from
Perth Amboy to Tottenville he will
be more careful to place the right
ticket in the box and not raise a
disturbance on the train when he
tried to give a ferry ticket for the
regular train ticket. For the lat
ter part of the ceremony it cost him
$40 in the second district court yes
terday when a~rraigned before Mag
istrate Croak after spending a night
in a cell in the Tottenville police
station. Skirbal with his wife had
been visiting at Perth Amboy Tues
day and came over on the 10 o'clock
boat. In passing by the ticket box
he dropped the wrong ticket and
when he got on the train going to
st. George he tended the ferry ticket
to the conductor.
When told that the ticket was
only good on the ferry he began to
abuse the conductor. When the
train arrived at Pleasant Plains he
was told that he would either have
to pay his fare or leave the train.
Skirbal finally paid his fare after
Patrolman FRANKLIN who was on
the train was called. He then be-
gan to abuse the patrolman and he
was then placed under arrest on a
charge of ~disorderly conduct.

n. ]. ROAD DEPARTMENT
WORKERS PAY BOOKED

TRENTON, July 12:-The State
Highway Department payroll will be
boosted $1,000 a month as a result
of the granting by the civil service
commission of salary increases to
$500 state employees, aggregating
100000, effective on July l of this
year. E~ighty-one state highway en-
ployes will benefit in the civil SER
vice commissions generosity, rep
resenting every division in the high
way department. The monthly pay
checks of the road department en-
ployes who received increases total
about $12,3SO, while with the in
cas- effective this figure will be
increased to approximately $13, 906.
IN connection with the question of
salary increases Attorney General
McCran, in an opinion given the
civil service commission declared
that it was legal to increase the
salaries of state officials having pres
emit salaries in excess of $4,000 even
though the increases were not set
1orth in a separate item of the APP
preparation bill passed by the last
legislature.
A law passed by the last legisla-
ture provided hat the salaries of
OAiStiS uHueT civil service.
whose salaries were $4,000 or more.
were not to be increased unless the
proposed boost in pay was taken
care OF in a separate item of the
appropriation bill.
The attorney general ruled that In
certain instances, notably in the
department of taxes and assessment
n salaries of officers coming within
the forbidden class had been lumned
into one blanket request. The bud
get commission and the
committee of the legislature
passed favorably on the items and
n Attorney Generals office ruled
in view of this fact, it was the
intention of the legislature to allow
the Increase and that the failure
TO include the increases in separate
items was "a technical oversight
which did not express the intention
or the legislature in regard thereto"
The fact that the legislature AL
lowed the blanket increases in the
Taxes and Assessment Department
n the state highway department,
said Mr.. McCran, was proof that the
increases were authorized.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 12-That
seasonal building is due more 20

Is the first conclusion reached by
the committee appointed TO investi-
gate this subject by Herbert Hoover,

result the committee. hopes to work
out a plan whereby construction
work will not be universally OBJ
served as seasonal, but will be ex-
tended throughout the greater part
of the year. with a consequent low
erin got the cost of dwellings and
other structures.
These conclusions were reached
at a two day organization meeting
OF the committee. held here under
the craftsmanship of Ernest 7. Trigg,
manufacturer, and president of the
Phlladelphia Chamber of Commerce.
n information already collect ed
by the technical staff of the COM
mittee indicates that with the single
exception of Los Angeles, where it IS
1airly evenly distributed throughout
the year, construction work in the
United States Is generally confined
10 from seven to ten months in the
year, with a consequent period of
depression IN the building trades rs

pending on construction work.
The committee, headed by NJ.
Trlgg, expects to be able to report
to Secretary Hoover next winter a
comprehensive plan for the equaliz-
alton of construction work. 1t is
hoped to have this plan in operation
before the beginning of the usual
spring boom next year,

CROP IN GOOD SHAPE

TRENTON, July 1.-THE weather
during June was very bIe
Tor ruck crops, according to an
houncement here today bv the De
partment of Agriculture. Extreme
ana prolonged drought seriously de-
eas yields of strawberries, peas
ana asparagus and set back other
vegetables. The few local show
ers were followed usually by heavy
orylng winds. The department said
.hat WIND and sand storms contri-
puted TO the damage. Recent rains
however, have improved the condi-
tlon OF many crops. The entire east
ern part of the United States from
virginia north into New England
suffered from the dry weather and
hlgh temperatures. The South At.
iantic states have had excessive
rains while the lower Mississippi
region conditions for truck crons
have been slightly more favorable
On the Pacific Coast favorable
weather has prevailed.
The department saws that tbe
peach outlook is good, but early
varieties of apples, such as trans
parent, are poor, according to pres
eht reports and the June drop was
heavy.
Estimate of the corn area planted
this season is the same as last wears

pared with 264,O00 acres, the aver
age for the past ten years. The con-
dition of the crop on July 1 was SO

yield of 80 bushels per acre and a
of 100000 bushels as
compared with 9~,912,00O bushels
years final estimate, and TO-
$4,000 bushels the average produc-
ton for the past ten years. The
wheat crop in July was "a per cent

.uction of 1906, 900 bushels as com.
pared with 100000 last year and
