Should Pass a Mosquito Bill

There is no doubt that a concerted
movement against mosquitoes would
in time drive them out. Even for a
single season the reduction would be
noticeable and in a few weeks the pest
could be eliminated. 1t would be a
good thing to pass Hildreth's bill, or
something on that line to start a gen.
eral movement in this State. 1t would
be a good thing for this State and a
good example for adjoining States. If
the pests were eliminated or even ma
terially reduced, the value of much
real estate in New Jersey would be
doubled and visitors would come in
larger numbers to enjoy Il summer
resorts. Jersey City Journal.

taken to Common Pleas
In the Reeve-WentzelI Case

The ease of Leonard Reeve VS.. Miss
S. e. Wentzell in the small cause
court was heard on Thursday of last
week before Justice the Peace A S.
Steelman at Sea Isle City. Lawyer
Curtis T. Baker represented Miss
Wentzell, and Editor Matthew Jeffer-
son, of Sea Isle City, was Reeves law
yer. In the winter of 1902-03 Mr..
Reeve built Willard Hall for Miss
Wentzell and the suit was brought by
Reeve for something over one hun
dred dollars which he claimed for
drawing plans for the house, car fares,
board, etc., during the time he was
endeavoring to get the contract and
previous to the time of the award of
the contract to him. Miss Wentzell,
the defendant, testified that it was the
understanding that there was to be no
charge for the plans and that she did
not order Reeve to draw them. Dur
ing the summer of 1902 while Miss
Wentzell was considering the matter
of building a house the complainant
and his brother, Elwood Reeve, We're
boarding with her, and being very
anxious to obtain his first contract
here the complainant drew the plans
upon his W responsibility, telling
Miss Wentzell that he expected to get
his pay for them out of the contract,
should it be awarded to him. Mrs.
Albert Wentzell, of Camden, a niece
of Miss Wentzell, also testified that
Reeve said there would be no charge
for the plans. Jed Dubois was also
a witness for Miss Wentzell. After
the two lawyers summed up the case
Justice Steelman gave judgement in
favor of Reeve for $50. Miss Went
zell at once, through Lawyer Baker,
gave notice that the ease would be APP
pealed to the Cape May County Court
of Common Pleas and executed a bond
to that effect.
