HORSE TIES UP
RAILROAD Line
Wreck Train Had to
Lift Animal From
Open Trestle.

A horse marooned on the North
East Pennsylvania Railroad bridge
at Crestmont last Friday night tied
mp the trains in and out of New
Hope from o'clock until IL.
One of the wreck trains from
Philadelphia was necessary before
the animal could be removed, the
derrick hosting it out in quick time
after it arrived on the scene.
The horse had been let out for a
little exercise by it's owner, and
took a short cut up the railroad for
Willow Grove. All four feet drop
ped through the Crestmont bridge,
which it attempted to cross, and it
was firmly anchored. All efforts
to lift it out by hand failed, and
no derrick of portable nature
could be brought near enough to do
any good.
Passengers both ways were trans
fered around the horse, which at
tracted more attention than it ever
had before in its life. Suggestions
galore were offered by passing trav-
elers and larger portion of Crest
monters who repaired to the scene,
but they awaited nothing. Finally,
the whole Reading Railway system
was stirred up and steam wrecker
summoned. The horse was soon
removed from his uncomfortable
position without serious harm, but
at considerable effort and cost on
the part of the railroad.
The horse, of course, did not ex-
press any motive for his act, but
some of the stranded railroaders
think he saw great chance to
regain some of the prestige that his
fellow-animals have lost to the auto
mobile. What the railroaders who
didn't get home until about G. m
say about the horse won't bear re.
peating in family newspaper.
1t is now believed that the NORTH
East Pennsylvania Railroad has, il
its fifty years of existence, beer
held up by every known cause, ant
several that We're not known. The
lack of snow this winter, made som,
of the railroad boys fear that tn,
whole season would pass wthou
diversion, but the hoodo has nov
been lifted.

DelaYare TOWnShib
To Improve Roads

Delaware Township is starting out
with a business-like program for
1924 that will eventually raise the
class Of its highways and prove of
great benefit to its citizens.
The bad piece of road between
Stockton and Sergeantsville, at the
Pauch and Aten farms, will be i'm
proved at once, at an estimated cost
of 81 800, for which purpose an or
dinance has been introduced in the
Delaware Township Comittee. One
third of this will be paid by the
township and two-thirds by the
state. Another ordinance has been
introduced to provide for the re-
surfacing of the remainder of the
road, from Stockton to Sergeants-
Vile, at cost of about $4,000, to
which the state will contribute two
thirds.
Increased appropriations are made
for the maintenance of the Lambert
fiiic-oIoShtoii ioduiJ anu lOf tHe
Stockholm osemont road.
For all previous time Sergeants-
vile and practically all of Delaware
Township has been without good
road connections with the rest .of
the world, and the building of the
Sergeantsville- Stockton road was
marred by one especially bad break,
which was impossible last spring,
and which it is now proposed to
remedy.
West Amwell Township improved
the Brunswick Road last year, and
| it now remains for the City of Lam
bertville to put their section in con-
dition.
North Main street, from Cherry
street to the Alexauken bridge, still
remains the toughest piece of road

NORTH AND S0UTH STATE ROAD
THROUGH H)NTERDON IS NEEDED
Strong Efforts Being Put Forth to Secure This
Important Adjunct to the New Jersey
Concrete Highway System

ize the route and provide money
for the work Otherwise, there is
no chance of the project going
through. 1t is up to the people in
terested and particularly benefited
by the proposed road to get busy
and make a stir that will cause the
legislature to take notice. Otherwise
another session of the legislature
may pass without results.
This road, along with several
other routes in both North and
South Jersey, were vetoed by Gov
ernor Silzer. A few of them were
political" roads, running where
they were not considered necessary,
and because of these the entire pro-
gram was abandoned, due to the
Governors veto.
1t is thought that such of these
roads as really possess merit and
met public demand, stand a good
chance of going through the legis-
lature this winter. But only those
for which there seems to be a posi-
tive public demand and which ans
wer the general public need will
have a chance. Among those is the
north-and- south road in which our
people are so vitality interested.
This road ought to go through and
will go through if the members of
the legislature learn that strong
public sentiment is back of the
movement.
Every citizen throughout this sec
ton wants this road. 1t will not
only meet a positive local need but
such route will bring many tour
lists through this territory, especially
those travelling to and from Allan
tic City, who are obliged to make
the trip from upper Hunterdon and
Warren over Pennsylvania high
ways, principally by way of Easton
and Philadelphia. The north and
south Jersey route, which will be
shorter. will bring all this traffic
through Jersey, where it belongs
instead of diverting it out of tn,
state, with the consequent loss OF
business and money which this
means.
The thing to do is to write YOU

that this community wants the roat

Every possible effort is to be
made during the present session of
the legislature to secure the pas
sage of law authorizing the con-
struction of concrete highway
from Trenton northward, known
locally as the north and south state
highway, the need of which has
long been felt by people living in
the northern part of the state as
well as by the public having oc-
casion to travel through this scenic
section of New Jersey, either on
business or pleasure.
The proposed route of this inn
portant highway is by way of Pen
nington, Ringoes, Pennington, Gin
ton, Hampton, Washington and
Buttzville, connecting at the latter
place with the New York Water Gap
route, already state improved
highway.
Officials of Mercer, Hunterdon
and Warren counties are vitality in
terested and are doing all they can
to promote the project. So are the
members of the legislature repre-
senting those counties. The free
holders also are keen for the pro-
posed route because it will relieve
the coutnies of a heavy financial
burden if this road is made a state
highway and maintained at state
expense, rather than at county ex-
pense, as at present. 1t was in an
ticipation of favorable action by the
legislature until now it is in very
poor shape for motor traffic. 1t
has long been understood that this
road is to be taken over eventually
by the state, and for this reason it
has not been deemed wise to spend
much for repairs. Naturally, the
neglect shows in the condition of
the road
The various boards of freeholders
have had the matter up with the
State Highway Commission at diff
ferent times, and have found the
Commission sympathetic and ready
to freely admit the necessity of a
road running north from the State
Capital. They have practically en-
dorsed the project and would ere this
have included it in the state road
building program had the required
funds been at their command. I'm.
fortunately all the money the State
Commission has at its disposal must
be used in completing the original
road program. There is no money
available for other permanent roads
The relief must come from the
legislature. That body can author

To the Editor:
Any plan for world peace should
be received eagerly, thoughtfully,
seriously, and treated with respect.
Regardless of merits or methods,
any plan to eliminate war deserves
the sympathy and consideration of

In the Golden days" battles were
fought for days, and the only ones
killed were those who died from ex-

As late as the Civil War the re-

But the World War saw whole

INCOME TAX NOT SUBJECT TO
NEW LAW THIS YEAR

There is an erroneous impression
that the proposed tax-eut law will
change the returns which are to be
filed before March 10, 1924. These
returns cover 1923, and the new law,
if it is passed, will not effect 1923.
Collector Frank G. Ferguson, of
the Fifth District of New Jersey,
says the new law may be made to
change returns next year for 1924,
but the bill will not change 1923.
Several returns have been made in
error, and Mr. Ferguson makes the
announcement to avoid more errors.
