JESPERSEN MILL
TO BE REBUILT

Lambertville- In the last weeks is
sue of this paper an item was printed
under the heading, Creditors To Sue
Jespersen Corp" This was a mis-
take, as was evidenced from the body
of the article where it was explained
that creditors have only filed their
claims for payment.
In justice to the Jespersen Corpora
ton the explanation is made that
these claims have merely been filed
in order to reach an understanding
whereby they can be protected in the
event of the being rebuilt. The
plant was destroyed by fire recently
after it had barely begun operation.
Naturally there had not been time
for its affairs to be properly straight
ened out. Concerted and earnest
effort is now being made by the own
ers to satisfy their creditors so that
the plant can be rebuilt and put on a
paying basis.

Firemen Accuse
Politicians of Grab

New Jersey fremen are up in arms
against the proposed hospital ut the
State Firemen's Home. which has
been presented in bill to the pres
ent Legislature. The bill provides
for 100 room hospital in connection
with the home at cost Of 100000
and an annual maintenance fund Of
$50, 900 The charge is being made
by firemen all over the state that
this is a plan to grab some OF the
funds now in the treasury OF the
Association.
Members of fire companies in every
borough and city Of the state pay
annual dues to the Association, which
is both protective and insurance
organization. At the death of a
member Of the Association, the family
is paid 81 900 under the present laws.
The treasury Of the Association now
has fund of S2,S5000. Firemen
claim that for long time this fund
has been the object Of enyious eyes
hold Of the fund for the building of
Of the politicians who desire to get
roads and other purposes.
If the measure is passed providing
for the hospital, fremen claim that
it will not be patronized except by
aged and disabled men, and the pres
ent home already provides for such
care. Under the provisions of the
bill the Board Of Managers of the
Home and Hospital would be appoint
ed by the Governor, This would
place the Association in control Of
politicians, and thus defeat the ends
of the organization.
Stockton 6femen have already Wig
orously protested this grab, but Lam
bertville fremen at the recent annual
meeting failed to take any action.

SAY PHILLIPS
HOSPITAL FUND CAN'T
Be USED TO AID SICK

WORK and earnings, might be deprived
ct an operation for lack of funds.
He would net be an object of charity,
but m need If immediate financial aid
to enable him to gain the health
whAeby he would have a greater
warning power for his family. If
the doctor recommended him for
loan from the fund, he could sign a
note for the amount necessary for
his operation, and this could be paid
off after he had regained his health.
But Mr. Studdiford says that such
use of the earnings of the Phillips
Fund would put it outside the pro
visions of the will under which it
was left. And in that event there
might be a contest Of the will where
by there would be danger of losing
the fund completely.
However, it has already been sug-
gested by several readers who have
become interested in the prospects of
a hospital for Lanlbertville, that If
the fund continues to lie inactive,
this also might lead to complications
whereby the Fund might be lost for
its real purpose. For there are rela.
tives surviving Mr.. Phillips, and they
have a perfect right 10 contest the
will if the funds should not be used
for the purpose stated. This is mere
~ stated as a likelihood but merely
as possibility.

In 1919, which was the year prior
to the effectiveness Theoretically
speaking) of the 18th Amendment, a
total of $50 prisoners was committed
to the Mercer County Jail. The
average daily population was 55.
In 1922, the third year in which
prohibition was supposed to have
been in force total of 1889 pris-
oners was housed in the Jail, AN in
crease of more than 400-almost 80
per cent. The average daily pcoula-
ton was 20.
lntoxication and crimes chargeable
to drink have increased steadily since
the enactment of prohibition, Jail
Warden Darcy says During one
period last year the Jail population
passed the hundred mark.
The use Of drugs and dope also is
gaining, he reports. AS many as IL

In the last issue Of this paper a
plan was proposed whereby ek resi-
dents of Lambertville who cannot af-
ford hospital treatment might tie
eeive aid from the Phillips Memorial
Hospital Fund. This provided for
a charitable distribution of the earn
ings of the fund to be used where
doctors recommended aid to those who
are destitute Of funds.
The plan outlined was along the
same lines as are now followed with
the Amos Smith Fuel Fund. This
is an invested fund of some $4,000,
whose interest is used to buy fuel for
the poor and needy. The man pro-
posing this plan was familiar with
the administration Of the Amos Smith
Fund, and believed the same methods
could be used to give immediate aid
to those in need of disqualification,
However, we are informed this plan
cannot be put into operation. Mr..
james Studdiford, secretary for the
Trustees Of the Phillips Fund which
now has something over $l2l, 900 in
forms us that owing to the terms of
the will there can be no use made of
the money except in the actual build
ing of hospital As secretary for
the Trustees, Mr.. Studdiford undouht.

of hospital in order to bring relief
to those needing hospital treatment

TO THOSE WHO RETURN IT
The rejection of this plan is dis,
appointing To those who hoped to see
the immediate relief of those who
should rightly benefit by the Phillips
Fund A further suggestion, en-
larging upon the plan as a simply
charity TO those who qualified for II,
has been made, which would have
enabled loans to be made to those
not wanting charity. For instance,
