Fix Flavor of Eggs

In investigations made some years
ago. by feeding heterogeneous and car
bOnaceous feeds, IL was found that
hens fed a ration Of wheat, mlddlings.
cottonseed meal and skim milk. pro-
duced eggs with a dlsagreeable flavor
and odor, small yolks, and poor keep
ing qualities. On the other hand,
hens fed largely on cracked corn and
corn dough laid larger eggs with rich
er yoIks and better flavor. When
there was a proper blending Of both
heterogeneous and carbonaceous mate
rails, there was improved favor.

Stockton Rridee
York Progressing

The contractors, j. :. Mccormick
CO., are now making fair progress
with the substrueture Of the bridge
across the Delaware river N this
place. The winter and early spring
were very unfavorable for the work,
with cold weather and high water
taking turns in handicapping activi-
ties until late in the spring.
For some weeks past, however,
conditions have been favorable, and
progress has been much better,
though by no means rapid, The two
canal abutments and the river abut-
ment on the Pennsylvania side are
completed. The abutment on the New
Jersey side is about half doro. For
convenience, this will likely be fin
ished last.
Pier No. /, counting from the
Pennsylvania side, is about one.third
done and Pier No. 3 is about two
thirds completed. Practically nothing
mas Dttu uOlip bI luc OtHtI luItts
The people on both sides of the
river are growing very anxious. II
will be a sad disappointment if the
bridge cannot be opened before
freezing weather.
Commissioner Louis Focht, super
intendent and engineer. announces
that additional funds will have to be
secured from both states to take
care Of unanticipated work. A meet
ing is to be held in Philadelphia to-
morrow to provide for these emer-
pencies. One contingency arising was
the discovery with low water that
the Jersey abutment was badly I'M
dermined and could not be built
upon without new foundations. How
ever, he says the steel for the super
structure is being rolled in the mills,
and will be on hand promptly FOR
erection as soon as the substructurc
work is completed.

Start Plans On
Stockton Road
Highway To Pennington To Be Built
Immediately BY County And
Townships
TO GET STATE AID

At last weeks meeting of the
Hunterdon Board of Freeholders
Engineer Grant Davis was instruc-
ted to complete curveys on the
Stockton Pennington Road and adj
vertise bids so that work can be
started Immediately. Mr.. Davis
started the surveys on Wednesday of
last week.
This route was approved by a
bill passed in the last Legislature,
but General H. l.. Scott, chairman
of the State Highway Commission,
said that it would be impossible for
the road to be taken over some time.
Prior to this an agreement has been
reached by the Freeholders with
Delaware and Raritan Townships
they would pay $4,000 and $685.,
900 respectively toward new paw
ing, and State aid was promised for
$4,000, making total of $4,000.
Raritan Township has one quar-
ter mile of the road and Delaware
has two and three-quarters of it.
The section of the road in question
lies between Walnut Brook and Ser
geantsville, and the paving will be
penetration macadam Of 9-foot
width.
The decision to build this sec
ton was caused by the fact that no
funds are available in the State
Highway funds for immediate ac-
ton, and there being so many other
roads to be taken over by the
State there is little hope for several
years.

FIRE DESTROYS
SOLLID4 Y BARN
Believe Fire Bug Started The Blaze
Valuable Antiques Lost

Lambertville-Fi destroyed the
large barn at the rear of the build
ing of Christopher Solliday last Mon
day morning about three o'clock. Mr..
Solliday and others express the be-
lief that the blaze was of incen-
diary origin, because the building
was closely locked, leaving no OPP
p9rtunity for tramps or others to
enter it and accidentlyl cause a fire.
An Abandoned auto top caught fire
in the barn yard recently, but was
extinguished before any damage was
done.
All the local fire companies and
Eagle Company, of New Hope, res
pended promptly when the fire was
discovered. But it mad already gain
ed such Roadway that the building
could not be saved. However, the
firemen did valiant work in pre-
venting the fire from spreading to
surrounding buildings. Great burning
embers were carried up in the
smoke, and it was feared that these
would lodge on other roofs and
start new fires.
The building was party covered by
insurance, but the contents, be-
longing to Samuel Mcintyre, were
not insured and amounted to loss
of six or seven hundred dollars. Mr..
Mcintyre, an antique dealer, has
been renting the barn as a storage
place for his collections which are
sold at public auction from time to
time. Among the things destroyed
was collection of firearms, bureaus,
folding tables, chairs, etc. He was
planning to have sale at Buck
ingham within short time, and
the contents of the building would
have been carried to this sale.

GILBOA QUARRY
REOPENS
Has Capacity Output or 1900 Tons
Daily
EMPLOYS FORTY MEN

Lambertville-The reopening OF
Gilboa Quarry on the River Road
above this city affords employment
for some forty men and materially
increases industrial activities of this
community. This quarry is owned by
the Delaware River Quarry & Con-
struction Company, as well as the
large quarry owned and operated
at Moore Station below the city.
r. A. Montgomery, president Of
the Company, says that the plant at
Gilboa passed inspection tests of
State inspectors on Monday, and that
he expects to start shipments early
next week. The power plant at Gil
boa is one of the largest quarry
plants in the section, being equipped
with a huge Corliss engine of 1000
horse power There is also an cleo
trio generating plant maintained
there.
The plant has a capacity Of 1900
tons of crushed stone per day of
ten working hours. Most of the stone
is shipped to Pennsylvania for road
building. Requirements for road
materials are much higher in that
state than in New Jersey. Extensive
laboratory and construction tests
have definitely proven that crushed
stone provides longer life and greater
resistance than gravel in road build
ing, and Pennsylvania is prohting
by the experience. New Jersey has
no such requirements, and as gravel
is easier to handle It is being used
almost exclusively in road building,
to the detriment of taxpayers. How
ever, the cost of crushed stone is
only few cents above that of
gravel
With the opening of the Gilboa
Quarry lwr Stametz, a former res
ident, returns to assume the duties
of superintendent Of operations. He
served with the company about
ten years ago, but has lately been
on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road tunnel at West Portal. Mr..
Stametz has about forty men under
him at Gilboa.

NEW THEATRE
TO SEAT 1900
Building 100 by so Feet To Be
Erected In Rear OF Union
House
ALSO ATTRACTIVE STORES

Observation-Disclosures plans foi
the new Bridge street theatre Were
made public by Abraham Rosen last
Monday, and they reveal elaborate
constructions to be made at the rear
of the old Union House which is
now being remodeled. Mr.. Rosens
Company also owns the two brick
dwellings adjoining the Union House,
and the new theatre is to be built on
the entire lot at the rear of both
properties.
The reconstruction of the old ho-
tel is now under way, but the thea
tire building will not be started until
the present work is finished. The
exterior of the building is to be
finished in stucco; two modern stores
are to be constructed on the ground
floor with commodious lobby thru
the entire length of the centre, and
modern apartments built in the up
per floors. Entrance to these will be
thru the main lobby.
The theatre building will be reach
ed thru the lobby with the ticket
office at the rear where the new
building will be joined TO the old
At the right, after entering the
orchestra floor of the theatre, will
be the rest room and women's toll
ct, and on the left smoking room
and toilet for men, The auditorium
will also contain balcony with
the projection room above it. The
seating capacity of both orchestra
and balcony will be 1900, but if de-
manded another 800 can be added
The building will be 100 by 60
feet in size, and large stage will
accommodate any kind of production
for which there may be a demand.
One of the modern improvements to
be included in the building will be
UNDERTOOK heating. Mr.. Roscn says
there is constant complaint in winter
against the cold floors Of the Strand.
This is because the heating coils are
all hung on the wall, and thus the
concrete floor is hard to heat. In
order to provide perfect comfort for
cold weather the new theatre will
have heating coils under gratings
at regular intervals about the or
When asked what dispos ton would
be made of the Strand when the new
theatre is completed, Mr. Rosen said
that he wasn't at liberty as yet to
say. However, he intimated that he
was considering a proposition which
would be of interest and benft to
the public, and if approved would be
announced.
