Milwaukee, Wis., July 16, 1912.
Milwaukee piano dealers believe that they can
see muc'h prosperity ahead, as a result of the fa-
vorable figures given in the regular monthly crop
report, just issued by J, C. MacKenzie, secretary
of the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture. The
figures on the corn crop are better than antici-
pated, because it was feared that the delay occa-
sioned by the extensive rains in May would seri-
ously impede the crop. A general average con-
dition of about 81 per cent, is given in the report,
however.
"I am confident that the good crop prospects as-
sure the Wisconsin piano dealer of a brisk fall
and winter business," said Edmund Gram, head
of the Edmund Gram Music House, representative
i the Steinway and other lines. "Good crops in
this State always mean a good business in all
lines. Mr. Gram has been appointed a member

NEWARK,

CO.
JERSEY
Dock Commissioner Tomkins, at a meeting of
residents and business men of the Bronx, which
included several members of the piano industry, at
the dock department's office Tuesday, spoke of
what might be done to develop the shipping fa-
cilities of that borough. He spoke of the increase
of the industrial importance of the Bronx likely
ti result from the construction of the New Haven
railroad bridge between the mainland and Long
Island and the digging of a tunnel between Brook-
lyn and Staten Island, and he urged the importance
of arriving at some scheme of development before
the borough was built up.
This seemed difficult on account of the many
different opinions expressed at the meeting, which
caused Mr. Tomkins to declare the people of the
Bronx must get together and formulate a plan if
they wished anything to be accomplished. He
himself laid stress on the possibilities of the new
Boston & Westchester railroad. It is willing, he
said, to give up its present franchise for a line
connecting with the New Haven road near West
Farms and extending along the north side of the
Bronx river.
By working with this company Mr. Tomkins
said he believed it would be possible to work out
