ASK SEGREGATION FOR EPILEPTICS Report for Skiliman Village Declares Tuberculosis Is Menace to Patients. MUST RAISE ATTENDANTS’ PAY riaad of Utility Board Pleads for Qas Compa vy—Toll* Opponents of Propc icd Increased Rota* to Find Choapsr Oil.

Trenon. — That tuberculosis ha* grown to be a serious menace among the pel ent* at the State Village f->r Epllepti w at Skllimr.n Is emphasised In the t tiuual report of that Inatltnw bl- h has been submitted to Commlsakme- Burdeite ii. iawts of the Depart!) mt of Institutions and Agencies by Or. David Weeks. su;>erliitendent of tb« colony. Tbe r port stresses tbe jecesslty of idoptlng adequate mensiirrs for the aegregau >n of tul>er. uiar pailents. the numls-r . f cases having increased to such nn extent that further delay id »" regard.-! by Dr. Weeks and tn .naic "* a« unfortunate. Tit* managers r.-h>-.. -I their rec.iiumendafor the erection «t two tiulldlugH wliere tubercular i-ntlents may Ik? givi proper care and meed leal trestle, k of houslioc facilities for tl.e inedl -ai staff and employees and failure to provide proper heating for Smalley Hall, the .-enter of all religious. so.l-1 and educational activities of the village, are pointed out in the report. Remarking the dlHh-ultles encountered in securing and retaining bolh professional and other help, the report ieta forth that at tl.e present time the illnge cannot com|iete vita non-insti-tutlunal organizations or Institutional organizations In neighboring states. This is attributed to the fact that the authorized pay for the medical stalT and attendants Is much lower than is obtains le elsewhere, while poor housing futilities further add to the dlfll-

cultlce.

Bonus System Unsatisfactory. “We confidently submit," continued the report, "tlint the bonus system does not solve the wage problem, for It does not bring about a penm-lient and proper adjustment between services rendered and compensation, and. . as a temporary expedient, it result! in an unfair discrimination against old and loyal employees. There should be a thorough and scientific readjustment, which would enable the village to employ and retain medical staff and attendants of a class suitable to Its needs.” Both Dr. Weeka and the manager* call attention to litsufilrlent sujiervlslon end frequent changes In the personnel of att-ndnnts as stand'ng In the way of research work In the care of epileptics. The medical staff is barely sufficient in number to oversee the general health of the patients. The report shows that there were 810 patients under treatment during the year. lurking a total of l.fliiS alncw tits village opened. There were 110 patients admitted during the year, and < f 56 deaths that occurred M were due to epileptic seizures. The report of the treasurer showi receipts of $358,087, includlrg 1110.095 received from counties for the maintenance of tbefr patients. Comparative figure* are given by I>r. Weeks showing the great Increase In tin cost of maintenance as be'.we^o 1915 and the present time. The farm credit of the village for the fiscal year, based upon valuation placed by the farm unnervl-or of the impartment of Institutions and Agencies, aggregated $51,053. Gas Consumers Maks Pisa. Vigorous opposition to the proposed Increase of M14 .-euts for 1.000 cublo i f.-et by the New Jersey Gas Company.! serving South Jersey towns, was of-fer.-d by municipalities at a hearing on the application before the Public j FllUty Commission. Steadily mounting costs of oil make additional reve-l nut imperative, tbe company say* In its application, insisting that unless the proposed increase le granted It | will be neiessary to suspend opera-1 tlons. Samuel Hagermau appeared in : behalf of Gloucester township. Center township and Clemeuton, Camden county, and S. W. Hurd expressed tba opposition of Vineland. Cumberland j county, to tbe proposed advance. To the opponents of tbe proposed! Increase Chairman Slocum, of the Utility Board, said: "If you can tell the board where this company can go and buy otl cheaper you will confer) n great favor upon this board and tin; people of tbe state." Mr Slocum -aid; that although tbe company 1* com-j pel led to pay more for coal used la the j manufacture of gas. It *«* not basing Its appll'silo . on the Increased cost) [of that (vminodlty. He added that It j 'l-. a matter of life and death to th* | company when faced with the proposl i lieu of obtaining additional revenue ot I

It has been necessary tc pay •281* ents additional 1.000 for the iproduction. The vxtmpany s contract for 1.000,000 gallon* of oU from tbe Standard OU Company, bt tbe rat* iof six cents a gallon has expired, ard | it hgs been found itnposslW* to task. I

The declaration of counsel for tha company that it wot id be comi>elle<l to Mi.-pcnd operation* ttulcs* grann-d an Increase In rales was not taken seriously by Mr. Hurd. He took tba view that the company should he wllU Ins- to share the high cost of living with the consumer and economize wherever imaalhle. The company has been pleading for additional revenue for years and Its applications have always ’wen attended by the threat of suspension unless the desired Increase* were granted. After taking the testimony the Utility Commission took the appUcatlon under advisement. Pollution Killing Fishing. *re the waters of Sandy Hook bay. Raritan bay and the Shrewsbury river to he ruined by pollution? This question Is repeatedly asked hy thousands who have seen the Fasaalc river and Newark bay turned from beautiful bodies of water to mere cetuItool* and who fear for the mlddlesiai- waters that afford fishing, crabbing. boating and bathing to many New Jersey people, as well as to visitors from other states, i 'ommuter* traveling dally on railroad* and hosts can set- oil and sludge on the waters In sticky masses, and even the clam, hurled as It is a fi"‘t in mud or sand, la contaminated. The lobster, taken from deep water In Kandy Hook bay and along ttie shore I'tte Of Sandy Hook, also has a taste of oil in its

flesh.

If these sea foods are to be saved sont.-tiling must lie done Immediately by the New Jersey Board of Healih. Rummer resorts along the shore will suffer considerable fliinn-iul loss within the next few years If 'heir beaches are covered with oil and tar. such ns there Is no difficulty In finding there now. Only lust week bathers In Ruriinn bay had to wash with kerosene oil In otiler to remove the tar from their bodies after a few mlntiles In the water. This (H.llutlnn may l-e seen stretching a mile in .length and hundreds of fe -c In width from Perth Amboy to Atlantic Highlands. and even the beautiful Shrewsbury river has been blotted with it. The outgoing tide from Staten Island sound carrie* millions of gallons of acids, oil amt tar as far as Old Orchard altoal light. The tar eventually sinks to the bot-| tom. which accounts for the absence of fish In those waters. Two week* ago the waters from Sewaren to Sandy Hook, with their many tributaries were covered with small menhaden • gasping for air on tho surface to release themselves of the l«ils..ned wat-j ers that had caused their stomachs I to contract, and eels by the thousands were seen floating on their bac. s, as If dead. Diggers of soft clunts, a wonderful sea food, find empty shells In their takes Instead of the succulent flesh that for years has been the basis of shore dinners and clam bakes. Even the humble klllie Is fast disappearing from these waters and one has to pay thirty cents a dozen for them to use for fish ball. Estimated Loss Is Huge. If a compilation of figures were offered allowing the estimated loss in food fish value as well as the loss to bathing resorts that follows tbe pollution of the water* metf.oned, they would ba astound tig. Still a precedent has been set ia the same chanter of losses along the Passaic and Hackensack rivers and Newark bay and the Arthur Kill river all the w-ny tc Perth Amboy. Like a grim monater. this pollution covered those waters as years rolled ou without an official hand being raised to prevent It, and now we tire called upon to pay upwards of $1C,0«i.000 for a sewer to carry It off. Every Industrial plant along the shore uses the rive.* end bays as a aewtr. Rteainera and hargea pump ou* their bilges on passing Sandy Hook, emptying the oil was'e 6n the waters. It I* claimed by those who know that waste from a gas plant on the Shrewsbury river I* |*ourlng into the water day and night. Industrie* that have been forced from New York because of their persistent pollution of the waters there find a haven in New Jersey. No better proof that dangerous laillullon exists ran he shown than by a review of the fislil-.ig situation. A few years ago a catch of seventy-five weekflsh at Kewuren <-aused absolutely no comment, while the catching of one there today would be counted wonderful. Then, when that resort dosed, Perth Amboy wn# the next stop, then Morgan, then Key-pr-t, then Keansburg. and finally the
