ments to Save $150,000.

[Special to the Newark Star.]
TRENTON, Feb. 10.—The State
Economy and Efficiency Commission
In its second annual report submitted
to Governor Fielder today recom
mends five distinct consolidations of
similar State departments and com
missions, three lmportan reorgani
sations and several other mergers
anrl abolitions, effecting an aggre-1
gate saving to the State treasury an- i
nually of $150,000. The commission
suggests, however, that more im
portant than the present saving Is a
50 per cent, ultimate improvement in
governmental efficiency by the pro
posed changes.
In almost every recommended re
organization and consolidation the
commission favors the appointmnet
of non-partican advisory boards to
serve without compensation. In this
plan there is shown to be a saving in
salaried commissioners of over $30,000.
Substitute for State Board of Health.
One of the principal suggestions for
reorganization includes the State
Board of Health and its ten allied
di\ isions, carrying a salary budget of
$83,660, and an additional expense of
over $4 >,000 a year. In its plan of re
organizing the State Board of Health
the commission recommends the sub
stitution of a high grade commis
sioner of health, salary $7,000 a year,
term five years, who shall be sub
ject to removal for incompetency by
the governor after full inquiry. It is
recommended that with the commis
sioner there should be appointed by
the governor an advisory board of
six members, to serve without pay
two of the six at least to be physi
cians, one a veterinarian and one a
sanitary engineer It is designed that
this board, which will be non-parti
san, shall become a legislative body,
framing a health policy or code for
the State, which the chief commis
sioner shall enforce.
Another of the chief recommends
tions is the consolidation of the State
Board of Assessors, whose salaries
are $10,000, and the State Board of
Equalization of Ta&es, with a salary
expense of $19,000, into a single de
partment of taxation. The additional
salary list of these boards is $22,000.
or a total combined salaries and ex
0 pen.*es of $70,586.82. The engineering
• service of the assessors alone cersts
$17,120.
Conservation Commission.
The commission suggests the crea
tion of a department of conservation
and development, to consolidate with
in its government all the service of
the State Water Supply ommission,
the Forest Park Reservation ommis
sion. State Riparian Commission,
State Geological Survey, the Wash
ington rossing Park Commission, the
State architects’ bureau, and for the
future it recommends that this gen
eral department take up and act
on all inquiries that may have a re
lation to any one of its amalgamated
features.
Organized and working as at pres
ent, these six bodies expended last
year $109,956.12, of which $71,786.75
was for salaries and $38,169.17 for
expenses. The recommendation of
the nnmmision is that a board' of
eight be appointed by the Governor,
not more than four to belong to the
same political party, such board to
be clothed with all the powers and
duties of the boards and commissions
recommended to be abolished A chief
commissioner is prescribed whose
salary should be $7,000, with power
to appoint all employees with the
•Exception of engineers and architects,
who should receive appointments by
the board.
.Saving of *27.000 in Salaries.
It is estimated that in the conserva
tion of the units of this combination
the State will gain greatly in the ef
ficiency of hte service, besides a sav
ing of about $27,000 a year in salaries
and expenses.

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the
• following ordinance has been passed by the
Board of Street and Water Commissioners
and approved by the Mayor of the city of
Newark, and is hereby published according
to law:
An ordinance to provide for the release
and extinguishment of the public right aris
ing from the dedication of such portion of
BATHGATE STREET,
lying between Roseville avenue and the
eusterly right of way line of the Montclair
Branch of the Morris and Essex Division of
the Lackawanna Railroad, except that por
tion of
BATHGATE STREET
included within the present limits of North
Ninth street.
Be it ordained by the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners of the city of New
ark as follows:
Section 1. That all lands In the city of
Newurk l icluded within the limits of such
portion Of
, BATHGATE STREET
mere particularly described as follows:
BATHGATE STREET.
from the west side of Roseville avenue to
the east side of North Ninth street, and
from the west side of North Ninth street
to the easterly right of way line of the
Montclair Branch of the Morris and Essex
Division of the I^ackawanna Railroad, It
being expressly understood that no portion
of North Ninth street Is to be vacated:
fluid street being shown on a private map
known as "Map of a portion of the Bath
gate property.’ and also as shown on a
map on file in the office of the Chief En
gineer, known as No. 1106-V. be and the
same are hereby released and discharged
from the public right arising from the dedi
cation of such portion of Bathgate street

commission, the commission to inves- I
tlgate port conditions, the body that
has been removing obstruction to
navigation and the one now inspect
ing power vessels, the commission
proposes the creation of a department
of commerce and navigation, and in
It also places whatever of service may
be expected of the New Jersey Ship
Canal Commission. Last year these
five distinct and yet related boards
cost the State $115,681 30 for salaries
and expenses, but of this sum $70,000
went for necessary dredging of the
deeper waterway project in South
Jersey and under contract. A com
missioner and an advisory board are
recommended, the commissioner to
receive a salary of $3,000. It is esti
mated that the new creation can be
operated with a resultant economy of
$10,800 over all each year.
Abolish Oyster CommUnion.
There is recommended also the abo
lition of four oyster commissioners
and a readjustment of the Bureau of
Shell Fisheries with a commissioner
Instead of chief, and a board of ad
visors, composed of men well versed
In the cultivation of the. oyster. This
consolidation would increase the sal
ary of the official head from $1.8)0 to
$2,500 and save, by the elimination of
apparently unnecessary minor em
ployees, $3,800 a year.
Two other important recommenda
tions made are that the salaries of
the numerous clerkships be standard
ized on a system of classification,
with advances indicated for each
class, based automatically upon
length of services. This basis to be
worked out by the Civil Service Com
mission, and that the stationery of
all the State departments and insti
tutions be made of uniform style in
order to effect a saving.
Although originally of a Republ'can
majority, the commission became
Democratic in appointments last year,
but in all of its decisions, the report
says, the conclusions were reached
from a non-political viewpoint and
are made unanimously and entirely
without partisan leaning. Earnest
and continuous attention was and is
being given the work by Senator Wal
ter E. Edge, of Atlantic, president of
the commission; Samuel Ludlow, Jr.,
of Montclair, vice-president; James
F. OMealia, of Jersey City, secretary;
Assemblyman Walter B. M< Dermott,
of Jersey City, and William E. Mount,
of Monmouth; Senator Isaac T. N.ch
ols, of Cumberland* William D. Kra t,
of Camden, commissioners, and John
P. Murray, of New York, legal inves
tigator, and Howard B. Lindel, of
Trenton, assistant secretary and com
piler of data.
PETITION COUNCIL
FOR R. R. CROSSING
Madison Residents Cause Fur
ther Negotiations With Lack
awanna by Their Request.
[Special to the Newnrk Star.]
MADISON, Feb. 10.—Further nego
tiations with the Lackawanna rail
road will be necessitated by a peti
tion presented at the regular meet
ing of the Borough Council, held last
night in the Council chamber. This
petition, signed by fifty property own
ers in the borough, requested a rail
road crossing at West street. A
crossing at that street has never been
considered by either the railroad or
the borough in preparing ordinances
for the grade crossing elimination
here. The matter was referred to the
railroad committee for consideration.
West street runs at right angles
with the railroad and has no regular
crossing at the present time. There
is a crossing for pedestrians but no
vehicle can cross the tracks at that
point. West street ends at the tracks
but there is a lane, practically a con
tinuation of West street, on the east
erly aide of the railroad, which has
not yet been accepted as a public
street. West street is several feeet
higher than the company's tracks on
the west side, while the lane is con
siderably lower. The lane, too, is not
directly in line with West street.
Councilman Holmes stated that the
forming of a crossing there would be
a hard proposition and would entail
a great (leal of work. The matter will
rest to a large extent with the rail
road company, as the road on one
side has never been accepted by the
borough and also on account of the
fact that there is no regular crossing
there at the present time.
a communication was received from
Mrs. Anna Frenz thanking the mayor
and Council for their floral tribute
at the recent death of her husband,
Edward F. Frenz.
The report of the commissioners of
the sinking fund showed a balance on
hand.of $2,076.89..
Fire Chief Samuel A. Gruver re
ported answering tw'o alarms of fire
during the month of January, one at
the home of Raphael Ferraro, in
North street and the other the barn
of James E. Burnet, in Ridgedale
avenue.
Committees reported bills approved
for payment as follows: Finance,
$1,638.06; water and light committee,
$883.42; Are committee. $170.75; sewer,
$41.28; police" $8.52. Amounts collect
ed since last report: Water, $4,302.42;
light, $7,755.11; sundries, $1,108.45.
The water and light committee rec
ommended the granting of pefmits for
105 lights. They also requested the
purchase of a barrel of cylinder oil
and some pole flxtures and tree insu
lators Their suggestions were
adopted.
The sewer committee recommended
that bids be advertised for for the in
stallation of sewer mains and laterals
on Elm street. This recommendation
was adopted.
Councilman McEwan reported that
a light on Ridgedale avenue had been
removed from the centre of a block to
a corner. Mr. Holmes wished the
council to look into the matter of
ascertaining whether a discount be
given Howard Cole, who bought the
Dr. Ward estate and who has 750
lights in his home. He stated that a
price of 10 cents per watt hour was
all that Mr. Cole asked. This is the
regular price within the borough, but
13 cents per hour is generally charged
all outside the limits of the town.
Both these matters were referred to
the wrater and light committee for
report.
Two Penned in by Fire
Are Rescued by Firemen
Fire partly destroyed the house at
.’70 Parker street last night when hot
ashes ignited the woodwork in the
cellar. Mr. and Mrs. Emery Ketcham
were rescued by firemen. The loss is
estimated at $2,500.
Early today passersby discovered
smoke coming from the burned house
and turned in an alarm. The second
fire was quickly extinguished.

FRANCHISE TAX
^B
Town Seeks Fee From Eastern
Pennsylvania Power
Company.
(Special to the Newark Star.]
DOVER, Feb. 10.—At a meeting of
the mayor and Common Council last
night a resolution was passed to have
Town Attorney Elmer King investi
gate the validity of the present con
tract with the Eastern Pennayhcania
Power Company, which at present
does not compel the payment of a
franchise tax to the town, while
similar corporations operating in
Dover are forced to pay a tax. The
only tax paid by the firm is the
amount stipulated in the State regu
lations.
The company has a ten-year con
tract to supply street lighting, and
Councilman Eustis F. Rudine wfas ot
the opinion that a franchise tax
should be imposed, inasmuch as it is
required of the other corporations.
Councilman Robert Richards stated
that the validity of the contract was
doubtful, as municipalities the size ot
Dover could not legally enter into a
contract for street lighting for more
than five years.
Jersey City Complains.
In a communication to the Council,
Commissioner Ferris, of the depart
ment of streets and public improve
ments of Jersey City, stated that
Sanitary Engineer Charles S.
Breitzke, who has been superintend
ing the work of cleaning the river
bed of the Rockaway watershed for
several months, had reported that the
residents of Dover living adjacent to
the stream continued to throw refuse
and filth into the water, which is part
Of the Jersey City water supply. The
commissioner urged that the Council
take some action toward compelling
the discontinuance of the practise.
The town clerk was instructed to in
form Mr. Ferris that a watchman
would be appointed to patrol the
watershed, provided the expense was
borne by Jersey City.
Councilman Richards, as chairman
of the fire and lamps committee, re
ported that he had informed the
Randolph Township Committee of
the action of the council at a recent
meeting, when it was decided to have
the outlying townships share the ex
pense of extinguishing the frequent
fires which the local fire department
were called upon to fight. Mayor W.
L. R. Lynd said that unless an ar
rangement was made to hafe com
pensation for the work then the pro
tection should be withdrawn, as even
the insurance rates at Bowlbyville
are regulated by the protection which
Dover is called upon to give.
le further stated that he^iad sent
a letter to Senator Charles A. Rath*
bun urging that a taw be enacted to
compel unprotected townships to re
imburse the municipalities who fur
nish equipment and men to extin
guish fires, as Morristown also had
difficulty with adjacent townships re
garding the matter.
Lack Sinking Fund.
Mayor Lynd reported that several
members of the council had met with
the Board of Water Commissioners,
and the question of retiring a part of
the $196,000 water bonds issued in 1901
and 1902. when the town water sup
ply was’ purchased, was discussed.
The first issue of $60,000 becomes due
in 1931, and the rate of Interest is 4
per cent., of which four bonds of j
$1,000 each have been retired. Dur- j
inR 1902 bonds totaling $140,000 were
! issued for twenty years bearing in
1 terest at 3!4 and 4 per cent., of which
the State of New Jersey purchased ,
' one-half, or equal to $70,000. A sink
ing fund has never been established, I
i and the mayor suggested that some I
(method be devised to icmedy the
condition. The question was deferred
i until the next meeting, when It is ex
pected a definite plan will be adopted.
It was brought out at the meet'ng
that only nine dog licenses had been
Issued since January 1 and a large
number ot canines made their home
In the streets. A motion was passed
. to have the dog ordinance enforced
i and order the pound-keeper to take
| charge of unlicensed dogs.
Advisory To* Board.
1 At the suggestion of Councilman
Richards a committee of three mem
bers of the council was appointed to
act as an advisory board to the town 1
assessor, it being the consensus of
opinion among numerous citizens and
property-owners that the work should
not be left in the hands of an in
dividual. Mayor Lynd appointed
Councilmen Richards, Rudne and
l Alderman Whitham to assist in as
' sessiiig the property In the town.
! The request of the Board of Health
! for an appropriation of $50(1 for the
; work of the department was granted.
An appropriation of $800 was also
' made to Protection Hook and Ladder
Company No 1.
Tax Collector .Tames T. Lowe re
ported that during the month of Jan
uary $42,064 74 was collected and the
amount remaining uncollected was
$16,977.69.

Former Holder of National Open j
Title to Test Skill on
Trip South.
By way of Boston comes the hint
that if he is successful In getting all j
his strokes working as is their wont!
when he is at the top of his form J. |
J. McDermott, golf champion, and
twice formerly holder of the national
open title, may after all make the'
trip abroad this year for the purpose
of continuing his quest for the Brit
ish and French open championships.
McDermott has not been playing very
much since the nervous breakdown
which he suffered last fall. He has
arranged to take part in a series of
exhibition matches and tournaments
throughout the South, and it is on
this test that he will stand or fall for
his decision as to the trip abroad.
Nothing that has ever happened
has convinced McDermott that he is
not as fit as any golfer living to win
the British open championship. In
fact, recent events have only served
to strengthen his opinion that he will
yet prevail. His real nature and
t worth as a golfer were revealed when
after failing to qualify in 1912 he
returned to the attack last year and
finished well up in the prize list.
On his Southern trip McDermott is
expected to take part in a tournament
at Camden. S. C., where a new course
has recently been opened. Other well
known professionals mentioned as
likely to play there are M. J. Brady,
of Wollaston; “Tom” Kerrigan, of
Dedham, and George Sparling, of
Brooklawn.
Intercollegiate Golf at Garden City.
For the fourth time Garden City
will be the scene of the annual cham

tional amateur championship, as
usual. The last time this tourna
ment was held at Garden C ty was
In 1906 when W. E. Clowr, jr., of Yale,
won the individual title.
Another development of yesterday
was the announcement of the dates

Cotton Market
NEW YORK. Feb., M.—Better
cables than expected and a tendency
to take profits on short cotton, after
the sharp break of yesterday, gave
the cotton market a steadier tone to
day. The opening was firm. 8 to 13
higher, and active months ruled 11
to 13 net higher during the first hour.
Business was moderately active, but
further liquidation seemed to be
readily taken. It was reported that
jobbers in the cotton goods trade have
started the week with the most active
business of the year.
Reports of a better spot demand in
the Southwest and similar advices
from Savannah helped to steady the
market later. Trading, however, be
came less active and prices at mid
day were 2 or 3 points off from the
best under realizing with active
months, ruling about 6 to 10 points
net higher.
The failure of demand to broaden
on the opening advance seemed to dis
appoint early buyers, and the market
sold back to within four or five points
of yesterday's closing figures during
the early afternoon under scattering
liquidation. /
Crain Market
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—Wheat eased
off today Influenced by reports of a
pause In European demand. The
market also was bearlshly affected
by improved weather conditions for
the domestic winter crop. Commis
sion house buying, however, set in
after a moderate decline and brought
about a rally Opening prices were
% to lower, and there was a
slight further setback, but then all
of the loss was regained.
Later a decrease In the world's
available supply total, with rumors
of export business at Kansas City,
resulted >n a firmer feeling. The close
was strong, %@!4 to net higher.
Corn weakened because of fine
weather for shelling and hauling.
After a fair setback, though, the mar
ket had a hardening tendency as a
result of offerings becoming relative
ly scarce. Prices started unchanged
to y,@Vi off, and a further sag took
place before a reaction began.
Professional speculators who at first
inclined to the selling side were later
occupied watching for a chance to
cover. The close was firm at an ad
vance of net.
Firmness prevailed in oats owing
to advices that most of the 2,796,00b
bushels of Canadian oats at Buffalo
have been sold to go to Europe.
Strength at the yards gave the pro
vision market a lift. First sales va
reid from 214 to 7V4«10c higher, with
additional gains later.
London Money Market
LONDON, Feb. 10.—Money was
easy and discount rates were steady

The market opened firm, bnt realiz
ing in home rails on .disappointing
Scottish dividends caused a reaction
which extended to other sections and
made the closing easy. Consols re
covered on repurchases and foreign
rails were steady.
American Securities were quiet and
irregular during the forenoon. In the
afternoon the list collapsed under the
lead of the Denver and Bio Grande
issues on Wall Street selling. The

Market Closes Steady—Lead
ing Issues Sympathize With
Late P. R. R. Advance.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—First prices
today showed irregular changes, with
a majority of losses among the active
stocks. Denver and Rio Grande fell
2%, Mercantile Marine preferred 1%
and Smelting, Canadian Pacific. Mis
souri. Kansas and Texas and Car and
Foundry l. Rock Island shares ral
lied from the low records made yes
terday. The common gained a point
and the preferred lVi
11 a. m.—Weakness of Steel, Union
Pacific and Amalgamated restrained
buying elsewhere and the bears de
pressed prices further. Some recov
eries were effected later, but the rally
did not proceed far, owing to the
continued weakness of certain low
priced shares.
Noon.—Stocks moved downward
definitely today, with no effective
support in any part of the list. Trad
ers were bearish and the influence
of more general selling for the short
account was intensified by the out
break of liquidation in obscure ls
j sues.
Bonds were irregular.
The market became steadier on pub
lication of the United States Steel un- j
filled tonnage figures, showing an in- .
crease of 331,000 tons. Mercantile Ma- j
rine bonds recovered materially and
Rock Island collaterals advanced 2Vfe.
2 p. m.—The current level of prices
presented buying opportunities which
were taken advantage of late in the
day. Prices hardened nearly to yes
terday’s closing.
6 p. m.—The market closed steady.
Beading issues sympathized with a
late advance in Pennsylvania, which j
carried it up a point. Some selling de- j
veloped in spots at the high level, but
the general market was not disturbed.

Congressman McCoy Raps
$25,000,000 Road Bill;
Drain on Gov’t, He Says
[From a Staff Correspondent.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Congress
man McCoy entered a vigorous pro
test against the $25,000,000 appropria
tion forr oads in the House this af
ternoon. He declared that the ap
propriation was a questionable one
which carried so large a sum this
year, “and the Lord knows how much
in the coming years, to turn it into
the mud roads out in Missouri with
out any supervision how' it is to be
spent.”
“If the real report is supplement,
I think that the bill Itself could ade
quately be described as aq imple
ment, but whether you would do
justice to the powerfulness of the bill
by calling it a jimmy or a can of
dynamite, I do not know. I think by
preference it would better be called
an implement, a can of dynamite to
blow open the strong chest of the
Federal treasury, and to do it so
effectively that money will flow from
year to year into mud roads to be
washed into the sides of the various
roads every time there is a gentle
summer shower.”

Summit Health Board in
Rented Office While Old
City Hall Stands Vacant
fSperlal to th«* »wurk Star.l
SUMMIT, Feb 10.—On the sugges- i
tion of Mayor Francis H. Bergen it is j
likely the Board of Health will have 1
ita offices In the old city hall building |
in Maple street where the board is j
now located.
Mayor Bergen wrote to Com
missioner Barker W. Page that he
could see no good reason why the city
should pay rental for outside quar
ters for the Health Board when the
old city hall is unoccupied. After
some discussion the mem here dec ded
at last night's session to advise the
mayor that his suggestion “was
favorably considered" The board
has a lease on its present quarters
until June 1 next.
The sanitary condition of the Lack
awanna railroad stat on was another
matter called to the attention of the
board by the city executive. Mayor
Bergen described the conditions of
the station as dirty and insanitary
Health Commissioner Dr. Prout ex
pressed the opinion that the railroad
company should be held responsib’e
for such conditions, if they exi t. No
action was taken in the matter by the
board.
In regard to the depression at the
rear of his property which the board
had declared to be a mosquito-breed
ing place and had ordered him to fill
in, Stephen W. Kent wrote the board
that he did not consider the small
pocket on his property a mosquito
breeding spot. It was decided to re
quire Mr. Kent to comply with the
board’s order to fill in the sand.

Stay at Your Desk—and Telephone
NO matter how carefully you may plan your work,
there ia always a possibility that some important
matter may make a trip out of town seem necessary.
Why not take the trip by telephone?
Stay at your desk and “send your voice.” Save the
time and labor of personal travel. In nearly every case
the interview by TELEPHONE will be as satisfactory
and productive of results as a call in person would be.
Why not make your next business trip
a telephone trip?
