the new revenue law until the bill
is passed; and appropriation of more

ing the refunds was carried in the
bill.
There were no indications what
ever that President Coolidge had any
intention of calling a special session
of congress to pass the bill, which
carried appropriations of about
$1g8, 900, although Director Lord
declared there was no way of OBJ
tanning the funds otherwise. The
President, could not, under the law,
he said. declare a deficit except in
an emergency involving life and
death.

guard service are among other gov
ernment agencies most. severely af-
fected by failure of the bill. Funds

changes authorized by the Rogers
bill, reorganizing the foreign service
of the state department were con-
tanned in the measure. Likewise
the money to meet the cost of the
proposed increase in personnel of
the coast guard service was provided.
1t is explained, however, that the
new coast guard vessels, authorized
in a separate bill, probably would
not be available for eight months
and that by that time q deflency bill
would be passed.

County Engineer Points to the
Needs of Growing Commun-
ity-Richardson for Probe

Governor George S. Silzer's COM
munication with Jesse Seaman, fore
man OF the present grand jury, ask
ing an investigation of conditions on
the Perth Amboy-Metuchen road, a
section of which, between the city
line and Rogan's corner, has been
closed off for some time, brought
forth series OF statements today.
3 The state executive has pointed
out that the road was torn up many
months ago by Woodbridge township
for the purpose of laying sewer
pipes, without obtaining permission
from the Board of Freeholders de-
spite the fact that it is a county road.
Andrew Keyes, an official Of Wood
bridge township, has been given the
s6S,00 contract to pave the road,
the payment of which is to be di-
vided between the county and town
ship. In some circles 1t is said the
governors letter will cover a twofold
purpose. investigation of the condi-
ton and the awarding of the road
contract to an official of Woodbridge
township.
County Engineer Morgan F. Lar
son when informed in regard to the
governors letter, said that the grow
ing community demanded the work
being carried on at this time. The
need of homes made it necessary for
the township to make preparations
by laying sewer, water and gass al
every lot. and the county gave per-
mission for the work to be carried
on.
The county engineer points out
that the digging UP Of the road start
ed last February and a short time
ago the county board awarded the
paving contract to Keyes. The con-
crete pavement is going to extend
for thirty-nine feet from curb

MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
INSPECT PROPERTY HERE

The entire Board of Aldermen,
Mayor Wilson and City Engineer
Louis p. Booz. this morning looked
over the situation at the corner of
Amboy avenue, Krochmaly avenue
and Waltrous lane where the city
desires to secure triangular piece
of property in order to carry Wal
trous lane out to Amboy avenue with
a full width of 60 feet. At the same
time the city will be rounding off a
dangerous corner, as krochmaly
avenue is expected to be made a
part of the new state highway route
through this city to the victory
bridge.
The aldermen, at meeting last
week, received a letter from Conard
& Company, representing the owners
of the property at the corner of
Amboy avenue and Krochmaly ave-
nue., offering to sell to the city a
portion of that property for 5000.
This price was considered exhorbi-
tant by the board members and they
decided to look over the ground.
A one-story hollow tile garage
building occupies the corner and
part of this building would have to
be torn down by the city in round
ing off the corner and moving the
curb back to the Waltrous Lane line.
Various estimates were made by the
aldermen and mayor as to the actual
damage done to the owner and the
land lost by the city's action but
none of these figures approached the
amount asked of the city.
The city officials reached no deci-
sion this morning as to what steps
they will take to acquire the land
but condemnation proceedings loom
up as the only possible course.

FORESTS MUST BE PROTECTED
FROM INSECTS AND DISEASE

Protection of Americas forests
from insests and disease is second in
Importance only to the protection of
the forests from fires, according to
a statement in the annual report of
the forest service, United States de-
partment of agriculture. Millions of
dollars worth of merchantable west
ern ~white-pine timber, as we'll as the
future crops of these trees, is now
being endangered by the white-pine
blister rust. Serious losses from tree
destroying insects are also occurring
or are threatened, particularly in GER
tain parts of the pine forests in Cali
@fornia, Oregon, northern and central
Idaho, central Montana, and northern
Arizona.
Aggressive measures to combat all
forest insects and tree diseases are
advocated in the report. The feasibili-
ty of preventing enormous losses
through the application of proper con-
troll measures has been thoroughly
demonstrated, it declares, in the large
insect-contrOl project in southern Cal

RECENTLY INTRODUCED FRUITS
Icing COMs1ERCIALIZED HERE

New fruit sand vegetables, field
crops, and ornamental plants are con-
~tinually being brought into this coun-
try fron; all parts Of the world and
tried out to determine If they are suit
able to be grown here under CONNER
cial conditions. Now and then one of
these plants is found to be making
Roadway sufficient to put it in the
class with the well-known tried and
true crops. Among the latest to at
tain this distinction, according to the
last annual report of the bureau of
plant industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, are the Barouni
olive, the Fuyu persimmon, and a num-
Der of new varieties of the avocado.
The Barouni olive was brought in
from northern Africa and has receiv-
ed much attention from olive growers
on the Pacific coast. 1t is favored
because of it's large size, excellent
quality, and high oil content. An
other good feature is its ability to
withstand high temperatures in the
packing process, thus making pos
sible the production of a high-class
ripe olive having the large size long
desired.
The Fuyu persimmons, introduced
from Japan, is being planted CONNER
cially and it seems likely it will be-
come one of our leading varieties.
The fruit is never astringent and can
be eaten with enjoyment even when
it is still hard, a characteristic very
are in japanese persimmons. In ad-
dition its shape is ideal for packing
and shipping and its color is a beau
tiful golden orange. In quality it
ranks among the best.
For 4 number of years the depart
ment has been searching tropical
America for new varieties of the avo-
cadO for growers in California and
Florida where the cultivation of this
fruit is rapidly growing into COM
mercial proportions. A number of
excellent Guatemalan varieties intro
duced in 1916, have come into bear
ing and are now offered by nursery
men in both these states. A set OF
i've varieties from Ecuador, intro
duced in 1920, is now on trial in both
states. as are also several varieties
from Costa Rica and Columbia. With
the exception of the date palm no
horticultural industry in this coun-
try has received the attention at its
very beginning that has been given
the avocado. In Dale county, Fla,
1000 acres are already planted to
this crop. American growers of this
fruit are now equipped to go ahead
with the development of their indus
try with reasonable assurance that
they have the best available varieties
as well as a fairly complete knowl-
edge of its cultivation in other lands.
