The Isolation Hospital now has as in
mates the balance of the family from which
one case was taken two weeks ago, five OF
whom have smallpox, and two not yet
stricken. There was clash between the
county and township authorities over the
matter, but the Township Board of Health
settled it by dumping the whole family at
the hospital, and leaving them to their
fate Then the Freeholders made arrange
ments to care for them. East Greenwich
Township don't relish the presence of all
the county's contagious diseases and the
Aims House Steward fears communication
Of the disease to his wards, hence feeling
Of unrest pervades that section. Two Off
GERS are kept on guard there to enforce Sc
clusion, and everything is being done to
prevent the disease being communicated to
outsiders. Officer Canning, who was one
of the first guards, and his family, are
quarantined by East Greenwich Board of
Health.

Country Club Entertainment.

One Of the most enjoyable entertainments
given in Woodbury. this season was held in
Green's Opera House last Saturday evening
under the auspices Of the Woodbury.
Country Club. The house was well filled,
but there seemed to be much regret when
it was learned that only about one-fourth
Of the Combined Musical Clubs of the
University could be present on account of
the State examinations, which kept most
of the students away. However, the pro-
gram was continued and so excellently did
those present do their parts, that little or
no criticism was made. The manager Of
the combined clubs for next year promises
to bring the clubs to Woodbury. next year,
and in measure retrieve the name of the
clubs by holding similar entertainment
for no compensation save their expenses.

Respectfully,
A. W. DURELL.

Mr.. Burkett said that the owner OF a
majority Of the frontage preferred leaving
the road at the width between present curb
lines.
Mr.. Batten replied that Mr.. Green IS idea
was to save the expense of widening the
street, and expend it on Hunter street and
Evergreen avenue. The cost of setting
back curbs, he said, would not exceed
81, 600
President Reading left the chair, and
said we represent the taxpayers of the en-
tire city, and while we wanted to give due
weight to abutting property owners, yet in
great improvement like this the whole
city should be considered. Mr.. Reading
talk covered the entire scope Of street inn
provement.
The vote being taken on Mr.. Munyan's
motion it was lost by vote Of 2 to z.
Messrs Glover and Munyan voting aye.
The ordinance was then passed to third
reading by vote of to 3-Gloyer, Hen
derson and Munyan voting no.
The ordinance was then passed, but an
error in phraseology was discovered, and it
was set back to second reading for correo-
ton.
While it was being corrected, Mr.. Davis
conceived the idea Of getting the cutters on
North Broad street paved, and hurriedly
drew new section providing for paving
North Broad street between the curbs and
trolley tracks with vitri6ed brick laid on a
concrete foundation.
With amendments healing faulty phra-
seology, and Mr. Davis rider, the ordinance
was passed to third reading, all voting for
it except Mr.. Glover.
Another flaw was then discovered and it
was again sent back to second reading for
correction and back again for final passage
when Mr.. Burkett moved to lay over for
two weeks, alleging that time was needed
to correct it. This motion was lost by a
vote of 4 to 5-Messrs. Glover, Burkett,
Henderson and Munyan voting for the
delay.
The ordinance was then passed-Messrs
Glover and Munyan voting against it, and
it will go to Mayor Ladd for approval
Mr.. Davis moved, and it was ordered,
that the Finance committee prepare the
sales warrant for delinquent taxes of 1901,
which aggregate 81 ,569.96.
Mr.. Chenoweth, of the Sanitary COM
mittee, made report on the condition of the
Take" in the Hall Park, presented a plan
for its drainage, and recommendation that
the Street committee then fill it up. His
advice was followed in both particulars by
unanimous vote.
Mr.. Batten moved that the Street COM
mittee make water, gas and sewer con-
nections on Cooper and North Broad Sts.,
before permanent street improvement is
begun.
Dan'l F. Hendrickson's application for
pool license was granted.
Mr.. Leslie made complaint that the
sewer contractor allowed snoring lumber
to protrude from filled up trenches in a
way to be dangerous to citizens, also that
Dan'l Mumford blocked the side walk on
Penn street with vehicles and trash. He
asked Council to remedy these annoyances,
and the task was referred to Street and
Sewer committees
Council then adjourned to Tuesday, May

Mary E. Wilkins story in the May
McClure's, The Happy Day, is an excursion
out Of the usual field Of her work, but none
the less charming. 1t is story of French
peasant family, who go up to Paris one wet
and dreary Ascension Day to visit the great
Exposition, and while everyone about them
is chilled and irritable and disillusioned,
themselves remain CHEEKY and warm in
their childlike wonder and rapture, and,
drenched and bedraggled, carry away mem
cries to sweeten forever the years Of toll
that lie before them.
Clement A. Griscom is typical of that
class of Americans, who, starting without
wealth or influence, have become captains
of industry by sheer force of hard work
consistently directed toward one end He
is one OF the richest men in the United
States, yet he began life with practically
no capital other than good blood and whole
some habits.
His success, says writer in the May
Cosmopolitan, has been due to several things.
SingIeness Of purpose, business tact, perse-
verance, infinite capacity for hard work
all have played a part in it. But with
these has gone yet another quaiity-the
ability to look into the future, and to i'm
agine how things are going to be-

Editor GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT,
Dear Sir;-In most cities, the city prop
erty, especially the parks, Offices and de-
partments of the eitYs ground are kept in
the most attractive condition, and it is we'll
to do so, if more desiring departments are
not neglected.
The first impression stranger gets Of
town, is, as a general rule, the most last
ing. It was great disadvantage to our
city to have such eve sores as the old
bridge and depot which disappeared
quarter of centurs toe late. The APP
proaches to our city, as in many others,
have been disadvantage in many ways.
One of the eye sores remaining is the sur
roundings Of our City Hall and Library,
within the sight and smell of the City
Fathers. Another one is the City Park, out
Cooper street. Little did Mr.. Hall think
quarter of century ago, when he so
generously presented the ground for the
City Park opposite Evergreen Hall and
adjoining the Country Club that the city
authorities would or could have been SO
ungreateful for what has proved to be the
most valuable gift ever presented to our
city by an individual Divide that plot of
ground into building lots, and place the
market value on them, then see what the
city has?
Why should this Park ground be so long
neglected?
Why has not more of variety of quick
growing trees been planted there
Why have not walks been laid through
it?
Why has not the frog pond been filled
up or cleaned and drained, and public
fountain been placed there?
These are the questions now being asked
by the newer element that has come to see,
as well as those who have come to stay.
These are some of the questions the older
citizens and City Council are expected to
answer.
If the City Treasurer of this town will
not permit the outlay Of two or three hun
dred dollars in improving the park and
building fountain, it may be some of our
citizens, aided by the city and the Country
Club, have enough patriotism to do some
thing in the matter.
Next to Broad street Cooper street should
have the most attention, not because the east
side is destined to be the most aristocratic,
but because the city has direct interest in
a valuable property located on this most
favored promenade, because the masses
and taxpayers and their friends from the
city have certain rights and privileges.
know Of no small city that has such
beautiful, healthy and shady walk as
found out Cooper street and Evergreen
avenue. Not half Of our own citizens
fully appreciate these old walks. Every
citizen, young or old, who loves nature,
who love their homes and their town, and
wish it to prosper and be more beautiful,
should one and all proclaim and demand
that the ax-man spare these trees.

whether l would be wi ling to move my

but unpaved. My opinion is that it is I'M
wise to widen Cooper street. But if the

holders, favor widening, l will gladly join
in the improvement.

DIR. John e. EaeH, city Clcrk:
Dear SRI am instructed by Mr.. Harry
B. Gill to say that he is willing to have his
sidewalk narrowed, provided it will not
take over three or four feet, and that the
City bears the expense of resetting the curb
and relaying the gutter. If the amount of
ground should be more, or there should be
any special requirement, he would like
them to set it before him in detail before
giving them his approval.
