eople must now pay for the maintenance of

people must now pay for the maintenance of
their two schools. BY coming into the borough
the only Iditional scoool expense would be one
teacher Tor seven months at $50 a month or
S245 year. Suppose the Franklin pupils pay
the borough the $3.50 they now pay to the main
tain their schools, we could use S245 to pay the
additional teacher and leave 1885 to pay on the
the debt.
Now, frankly speaking uuder an equitable
assessment it would not cost Franklin people as
much as it does now for the reason that there is
only 500 year Bond and interest to pay now
aud it is getting less at the rate of $40 year
and any one knows that Franklin's share of the
debt would he considerably less than $3.50,
which is the amount they will have to pay to in
Franklin township over and about what it will
cost in the borough, exclusive of the bonded
debt
The pupils can all be cared for in four rooms.
The average attendance in the borough last year
was So in Frankins two schools was about so.
The 13O pupils divided into schools would
average less than 33 for each teacher. Should
the schools grow, class rooms can be built at
very little additional expense, but this will
not be needed while the bonded Indebtedness
lasts.
8. Franklin would have less road tax to pay
because there would be less miles to keep IN re-
pair and the borough roads are in good condi'
ton.
4. Middeburg now gets nearly enough
money from two hotel licensesto pay the water
rent on 20 plugs.
5. The twenty plugs contracted for by th'
borough are sufficient to supply Middleburg ant
Franklin both and it is only matter of arrang
ing with the water company to divide th
plugs.
| 6. The increased school facilities and th
protection against fire by having the use o
water and consequently, lower insurance rates
all is of great economy to the Franklin people
while Middleburg will enjoy lower school ta
and better school facilities.

Statistics show that from 20 to Is young men
leave Middleburg every year to GO elsewhere to
find employment The movement is both credit
able and beneficial to them, but it is neither Gre
ditable nor beneficial to the town. The town
has plenty of idle money to foster and promote
Industries and much vacant land to erect dwell
ings and factories.
Without offspring this means an increase OF
$50 in ten years With the probable offspring
the increase would amount 10 1000 persons II

To Ettor oi rosr
You can state that the plot refer
red to where the allotment Of Lots
is to be made is located at Jersey
Shore Junction, opposite Depot.
The Allotment will he made on
or about June goth, parties will he
notified in due time. We have set
aside 800 Lots which are selected
from different parts Of the plot anu
the lots run IN value from $50 to
5000.
The plan of allotment will be as
follows: On joining the Club you
pay SO and receive the Company's
receipt for same, which amount will
apply on the s32.50. At the time
of allotment you can pay balance.
$3.50, and get a deed for your Lot,
or have year (under cpntract) to
pay the balance in monthly pay
ments.
Each Certificate of Membership
in the Club entities the holder there
of to one of these Lots and in some
cases we have set aside two Lots
and same will be given as one Lot
to the holder of ticket bearing
numbers corresponding. AZ mem
bers will get 2 lots for $32,. 80, 2S
members will get 3 lots for $32.5
The membership of the Club is
limited to the number of Lots to he
allotted, and the more Certificates
} that are bought by each individual
member upon joining will limit the
individual member ship.
Each Member inducing seven
members to join will receive Lot
! free, also il one member buys seven
Lots at once he receives eight
receipts, thus getting one lot free in
this way, the total cost for the eight
would be only $227.5O, out OF the
l eight you would no doubt get at least
= three that would be worth from
q 500 to $3.50 each, aud the balance
averages about $75, thus making
splendid investment.
OF course we loose on this dispo-
f sal of these Lots; but we calculate
!: that the extra building that will be
done on these Lots will increase the
value of our holdings and thus
make up the loss in the end.

already joined, would alss be pleas

MUCH
DISC0NTENT
EXPRESSED
Street Railway Employees Pro.
pare Petition for Return Of
Their Tickets for Free Rides

There is a great deal OF disatfaction ex-
pressed by the conductors and moter-
men In the employ OF the Rhode Island
company, over the companys action in
regard to the free tickets which gave the
employees transportation on all lines
about the city.
Under the new rule the uniformed men
can ride without showing pass or ticket
but when not In uniform must pay like
any other patron of the road
The men state that this woubi not be
so bad IL the rule was general, but that
the barn and repair shop men can have
the tickets just the same while the men
who run the cars have 10 pay good
money when of duty.
Manager Tood states that this rule OF
passing uniformed men without tickets is
similar TO those In practice in large
cities
Some OF the men have expressed I'm
their opinion that this will make Their
position even less desirable and force the
better class of men into other lines OF
work
Another said 'Tt will cause some of the
men to work the transfer gag. swap bc-
tween lines and II they work together
there will be small chances OF detection. &"
1T ~ not that the money will be mss
ed. but IL is tho losing OF the privilege
that rankles."
Some Of the men have approached the
officials without avail and IL is stated
a general petition is being secured TO
ask for the return OF the tickets.
