DIRECT ROAD TAXNEEDED SUGGESTIONS BY BURLINGTOH COBNTY FREEHOLDER FOR SOLUTION OF ROAD EXPENSE QUESTION—DIRECT ROAD TAX SEEMS UNAVOIDABLE. South Jersey counties will be compelled to levy a direct road tax in order «0 keep in repair the present system of improved toads unless some change is made in the Hillerv tax law, asserted Howard Russ, of Delanco, director of the retiring small board of Burlington County Freeholders, today. He explains the failure of the county Authorities to keep the roads already improved in better repair by saying that where the State previously contributed $65,(100 to Burlington County, under the 1 operation of the Hillery law only $25,000 1 la received. "Continued neglect of roads through : lack of a larger appropriation from the State will increase the ultimate final j •oet to county taxpayers for repairs and ! rebuilding of the highways," said the di- ' rector today. "I do not think the county should be bonded for any such temporary improvements as road* repairs. It is safe enough' < to bond for stationary concrete bridges, 1 which may stand for 60 years, but the 1 roads would wear out again before the 1 bonds were matured. "I believe we shall have to ask for a 1 direct road tax to keep up the good 1 roads system. The Hillery tax law is « eontinually cutting down our income From the State, while the widows' pen- 1 •ions and the greater cost of county in- ' atitutions is reducing the amount avail- * able from the county. I believe the mat- I ter of direct tax should be submitted f to the people and the plan adopted with their approvaL We would then know } bow much money is available for repair- { Jng existing roads and improving others, 1 »n<l the board could govern itself ac- f •ordingly." Atomobile traffic, said Director Russ, 1 has been responsible for much of the in- .1 arease in road repairs. He said that as s An autoist himself lie would recommend ( the addition of an extra $50 a year to all State automobile license fees as a ii part of thf^fonil tax. the sum to be ap- Y plied for read repairs. .T THE TRUTH 0F° THE MATTER « In order to set at rest all discussion 7 of what the late meeting of the State £ Grange really did about School mat- ^ ♦era, we print below an exact copy of V the resolutions they adopted: Y "Whereas, the present State Department of Education is active in its endeavors to promote the welfare of cur rural schools; and "Whereas, the • difficulties in the way of securing better rural schools fc8uch as. to be increased by destruccriticisro at this time; therefore be it "Resolved, That we, the members cf the New Jersey State Grange, believe that the situation calls for 4l constructive co-operation with the 8 Btatc Department on the part of local 8 Boards of Education; and we, tberefoM Favor the suggestion that the *Wo?lhy " Master of this State Grange be empow- 81 ered to appoint two representatives 8 from each county to meet with the n Gtate Board of Education to Discuss o: questions at issue concerning the rural n schools. Further, be it c' "Resolved, That we favor the estab-

POOR TREATMENT FOR LIFE SAVERS : The report just published of the oper- j Ations of the life-saving service for the j last year makes the usual impressive ' exhibition. It recounts an exceptionally large number of casualties and it shows ki an extremely significant and convincing manner the value of the service which the coast guard rendered. They laved not far short' of 10.000 lives in 1743 rescues. The property salvage Amounted to nearly $14,000,000 out of a totality involved of $15,823,150.

' ' / i i,' maintenance of the department cost leas u than two and a quarter millions, it may, J be said to have paid, from h merely mi- '] terial point of view, a very large profit 6 on the investment. S It made a .sufficiently large profit to t deserve being treated by Congress with ; a much, greater, degree of liberality. Our 'life savers. Whose duty is discharged with such important results at the risk i of their livea, are very poorly paid. Each j year during two. of the summer months : they are laid off at their own expense, r ' and" while it is quite impossible For them to provide out of their wages , ' for their old age, it is still necessary lor , ,ne superintendent of .the bureau to reiterate the often-made recommendation that they be retired on pensions at a I specified period or upon becoming in4 capacitated for active duty. This is such * a fair and reasonable proposition that no argument seems nec- • essary to support it. which unfortunately does not mean that there is any immediate prospect of its adoption. — Philadelphia Inquirer.

SOME HIGH WAVES Although severe tempests often lash both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans into mighty waves there is reason to believe that the most tremendous seas are those that run south of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Sailors i modern times have never such waves as those described by early navigators, which were reported to rise to the height of one hundred i and thirty feet. La Uerouse, indeed, as ' serted that he saw waves in the Pacific towering to a height of nearly two hun- *■ dred feet. In these more prosaic days can only say, that the highest wave yet measured had an altitude of about fifty-two feet. That was in the southern ocean, a north of the antarctic continent and it is quite certain that the highest waves ever seen in that region did not exceed fifty-eight feet. The highest waves ever observed in the Indian were about forty feet. The highest waves in the North Atlantic are from twenty-five to twenty-nine feet and in the Mediterranean, from sixteen nineteen feet. Even the smallest of these mighty has great destructive mSver, for they' often travel at a spee^fcf twen-ty-five miles an hour. A wave thirty feet high contains thousands of tonS of water and when this immense force is exerted against any structure, the ruin « wrought is likely to be impressive. j The great size of the waves in high southern latitudes is explained by the - that south of the Cape of Goof , and Cape Horn there is neither windward nor leeward shore, and the prevailing winds are westerly. So when a westerly gale springs up, it finds a long easterly swell, the effect of a previous wind, still running. The new-born wind increases the steepness of this swell and forms majestic storm- 1 (j, that sometimes reach a length of hundred feet from crest to crest, j ii i-aie uuuureu leei irom crest to creBt. j

y The average height in feet of sea waves is about half the velocity of the kind d that causes them, reckoned in miles per I hour. — -Youth's Companion. » howTserveyou First, I win build you ths bsst boat a for the money.
