Jersey liberia Peaches Travel
Elberta peaches, which by truck
load and train load, are pouring in a
golden flood from New Jersey or
chards last week into 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
so per cent of the peach crop in New
Jersey, which is one of the leading
ach-growing states.
The bureau declares that because Of
its quality the Elberta has superseded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 well,
keeps well and is a good yielder.
The big demand for yellow peaches
this year Will make the liberia prof
table 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 call 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 Assoc
citation at White Sulphur Springs in
September, the state should get lot
of information that will be useful In
the revision of its 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
on the Kearny meadows
has been advanced step with the be-
ginning of work on the new 0,000,-
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 tho
of this section of the
meadows through the paving of a main
Bergen avenue, to the
populated residential section of Kear-
ny. Viaducts will be built over the
railroads in the area to facilitate COM
and connections will be
made with the area of the meadows
to be occupied by the proposed $780,
600, 900 plant Of the Western Electric
Company south of the Lincoln high
way. Together it is hoped to form
unified industrial district.
The connection with the Western
Electric plant will be accomplished
finally through the opening and i'm
of Central avenue, wide
which is to run south to
the confluence of the Passaic and
rivers. In this way the
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 100000 worth of equip
ment so that the manufacturers can
go 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
generators, and collec-
lively they will provide about 100000
kilowatts Of energy that will be avail
densers and fifteen boilers to go with
the generators have likewise been or
dered. The boilers will be of $500
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

Ihary structures, space for storing and
facilities for handling upward of 20O,-
300 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.
