Stockton Bridge
Work To Start
Free Bridge Commission To Open
Bids For Masonry Work Next
Friday

The Pennsylvania-New Jersey
Free Bridge Commission will meet
in Philadelphia next Friday, at
which time bids will be opened for
masonry work on restoring the
Stockton Centre Bridge river struc-
ture. The piers and abutments will
have to be reinforced before the
steel structure can be placed, and
it is expected to have this finished
before the water gets higher.
The work is to be divided, and
contracts let for the different phases
of the construction. 1t will take
several months to roll the steel at
the mills for the supersructure, and
so it is not anticipated that the
bridge can be finished before next
spring or early summer.
Bids will also be opened at the
above meeting for repairs to the
-Phillipsburg Bridge.

343 SLAYERS CONFINED
IN N. J. PRISON
362 Prisoners Received Indicates
Year Will be Record Breaker;
1i73 in Institution

Few persons are aware of the
at the New Jersey state prison here,
indicating that killing is greatly on
the increase in this state. There are
2S3 persons, including several wo-
men, serving time for murder, while
GO are charged with manslaughter.
Seventy-four persons, including Il
negro boy, have been put to death
in the electric chair since it was
installed Is years ago. The death
house now holds three men waiting
to pay the extreme penalty for muir
der.
That the use of drugs is on the
increase is shown in the statistics
compiled for the annual report of
Joseph S. Huff, the principal keep
er. Only a few years ago there was
not single convict serving time
for possessing or disposing of mar
cotics, while today q are doing
terms for that offense. Most of these
prisoners come from towns adjacent
to the big cities, where they find a
ready trade for the sale of the
drugs.
1t was only few years ago a
half dozen convicts was considered
a record, but now there are 81 life
prisoners.

ROBERT THATCHER IMPROVING

bertville-Robert Thatcher,
veteran newspaper correspondent of
the State Gazette, and who made
his home at the Lambertville House,
is reported as improving. When Wis
tied at Mercer Hospital in Trenton
on Tuesday he seemed delighted to
have visitors, and asked that his
friends be assured of welcome if
they would drop. in while they are
in Trenton.
He was very grateful for the
visits and cards he had received, and
said he hoped to be improved enough
soon to come up for a short visit,
altho he will remain at the hos
pital. The doctor said that the use
of his left arm offered hopes of re-
covery. He was in a good humor,
and ioked about Gliding behind the
foliage" for he had allowed his
beard to grow.
Drop in and cheer him up!

River Road Pacing
Completed
Opened For Traffic Last Friday


LambertviIle-Th River Road
south from the city line to the Mer-
Ger County line, on the way to
Trenton, was opened to traffic last
Friday. The road has been closed
for several weeks while being re-
constructed. The new paving is KY
Rock, an asphaltic material which
does not have to be heated for APP
plication. The material is composed
of oil-impregnated sand and fine
gravel and is mined from extinct
oil beds in Kentucky.
Those interested in public roads
are keenly interested to observe the
service this new paving will give,
for it is easier to apply, and is
supposed to pack more soIidly than
asphalt without rolling up in waves
during hot weather, Another advan-
tage is that it can be dug up, for
repairs, etc, and replaced. It's pro-
ducers claim that it becomes smooth
err and more solid after traffic has
pounded it down.
PA. RIVER ROAD NOW
OPEN AT ERWINNA
Another bad detour was elimin-
ated last week when repairs were
finished on the Pennsylvania Canal
bridge at Erwinna. This bridge was
wrecked quite a while ago, and the
Canal Company disclaimed respon-
sibility for rebuilding it, They claim
ed the Pennsylvania Highway De
partment was responsible. The mat
ter was dragged out to some length,
but the courts finally ruled that the
Canal Company was responsible. But
they were not in hurry to finish
the job, and the work has been
strotched ont long time

The new Coolidge cabinet is prob
ably the most industrious Washing
ton has ever known, but there has
been no complaint from its members
that they are overtasked or over
worked. A commentator on Wash
ington life recently remarked that
the men in high Government places
often wasted entirely too much
energy in attending unnecessary pub
lie dinners. This can hardly be said
of the Coolidge cabinet. 1t is not a
dining-out administration and there
actually is no evidence of strain from
that direction, physically or CASTRO
nomically.
Mr. Hoover is probably the most
sought of the after dinner speak ers
in the cabinet, but he is more or less

the long training he had in Europe.

There is no tangible evidence that

who scarcely ever missed a banquet

ward. There is, too, Chief Justice
Taft. Mr.. Taft, when President, at
tended banquets almost nightly.
On his long swings through the
country he often attended gala
lunCheons and dinners for eight or
ten weeks in a row, with occasional
gala breakfasts thrown in. DR..

for work, but he is the oldest member
of the cabinet as well. His friends
say that never during the time he
was amassing his great fortune did
Mr.. Mellon put in such long hours at
his office as have been his rule at
the Treasury.
Kellogg Plays With Vim.
Secretary Kellogg, second oldest of
the cabinet members, also is a hard
worker. He is a nervous worker as
well. He is passionately fond OF golf.
but he is just as nervously active on
the links as in his official duties, and
II is difficult to see where or when
he obtains the realization much need
ed in public life.
When Mr.. Kellogg used to play golf
with President Harding the latter
would always insist that Mr.. Kellogg
shoot first, regardless of who held the
honor. Secretary Iardine has been
putting in long hours at the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
He has been accused of violating all
cabinet union rules by working Satur-
day afternoons.

A new antiseptic has been dis

action that it is a healthful wash
