The novelty of relay bicycle race

Thomas G. Hilliard rode from Salem to
Woodstowp, leaving the former city at
05 p. m. covering the distance of ten
miles in 38 minutes. Clarkson Coles was
the relay from Woodstown to Swedesboro,
making the distance of seven miles in 90
minutes. Walter Wilmot. of Salem, rode
from Swedesboro to Woodbury., distauce
of eleven miles, in 81 minutes. John
Leppee rode from Woodbury. to Camden,
eight miles in 35 minutes. Clarkson
Coles made the best time, and to cover
the entire distance of thirty-six miles in
little over two hours, is good riding.
We underatand that another race is being

TO which must be added interest on
cost of plant, and also depreciation of the
same, and then after all this the bonds
that are issued for this extravaganza
must be paid. 1t is true that these figures
may be considerably reduced, but it is
also true that it will require as many
men to operate plant for a town of 1900
people as it will for one of $500 people;
and even if these figures were cut in two
there would be sum to come out of the
taxpayers pocket every year that would
incresse the taxes to such an extent that
many families would feel it to their inter
est to leave the town. 1t is not true that
electric lights would build up our town,
or bring any considerable advantage to
its citizens. Have electric lights done
anything to build the County Seat? Have
either electric lights or the overpraised troll
ley built up Woodbury.. or increased the
price of property therea Every one knows
that these things are not true; and there
is no reason to hope that the introduction
Of electric lights in our own town would
do other than increase burdens, bring
complaints from taxpayers and keep
desirable citizens who are owners of prop
erty from coming in to live among Us.
We will have nse for all our apare dollars
in paying for these water works. and the
increased expenses Of the borough ad-.
