Phillipsburg. A money order post office, telephone but no telegraph connec- tion. Express service, United States Company. Tax rate, $0.84.
New Village is situated on the Morris Canal, and is connected by trolley road, which runs through the main street, with Washington on the east and Phillipsburg and Easton on the west. The principal business interest of the place is the large cement works owned by the Edison Portland Cement Com- pany, in which 750 men-mostly foreigners-are employed. These workmen are not included in the figures given relating to population, as almost all of them have their homes in Washington, Phillipsburg or Easton, from which places they travel to and from the works daily by trolley. In the school dis- trict is one grammar school, and two churches-"Methodist Southern" and Presbyterian-are one mile away. The village sentiment is favorable to in- dustry, and land for factory purposes will be donated free of cost; financial help would probably be given if required. There is a water power in the vicinity derived from Pohatcong Creek, which has a constant flow sufficient to fill a twelve-inch pipe.
The soil of the surrounding country is good, and practically all the varie- ties of produce known to the same latitude are grown on the farms. The soil is particularly well adapted to the production of fruits and market garden produce. Practically all the land is under cultivation, but there are several farms with good buildings for sale at about $40.00 per acre.

The village has two public schools, and one synagogue-the community being practically all Hebrews.
There is a strong desire among the people to extend the manufacturing in- dustries of the place, and land for factory building purposes will be given free of cost, and if financial assistance should be needed the same will probably be forthcoming if the industry is a reliable one, on application to the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, 174 Second Avenue, New York City. The soil of the surrounding country is rated "fair," and farm products con- sist largely of sweet potatoes, berries and garden vegetables. No farms are reported for sale. There is one idle factory building in the town, which can be rented or purchased. The structure is 30x40 feet, and two stories high. The number reported as available for immediate employment is 100 men and 50 women.
