was necessary to restrain Mrs. Winters
from going down stairs in search of her
greenbacks. Many people who gained
access to the second story and assisted In

by the flames like rats in trap, but the

Moorestown Is about to install a system
of police signals which might be adopted
advantageously here. The proposition
was suggested here before 1t went to
Moorestown. Mr.. Horton, in charge of
the Interstate Telephone system, proposed
to furnish electric current and red lamps
sufficient to cover portion of the town.
In ease of call to the central station re-
questing notification to the police the op-
orator will at once turn on the red lights
and this will attract the attention of the
officers who will at once inquire into the
matter. To make this more efficient the
| township should have along the line of
the red lights telephone boxes from which
the police could call. Under the present
system the only way which an officer can
be summoned at night now is to call up
the headquarters with chance of not get
ting an answer. Moorestown does not In
tend to confine the telephones to one local
| ity but will have them in different sections
of the town and the police will be required
to call from them during the night, thus
giving an accurate account of their
whereabouts.
Dewn in Moorestown last week q tele-
phone company began putting up some
small poles, the wires on which, when
strung, would 60 through some young
trees and, swaying with the wind. would
rub the trees and damage them. As soon
as the owner heard of the act he went to
the spot and cut the poles down. The
agent of the telephone had not asked per-
mission to put the poles in. In Mount
Holly the representative of telephone
company went to resident and asked to
be allowed to put phone in the house.
The owner thought perhaps he could use
the phone and consented. The agent
said it would be desirable to have tubes
run up the side of the house for the wires
to run through and this was agreed to.
Later the agent returned and asked If the
wires for neighboring house could be
run through the tubes and as there did
not seem to be any reason for objection
this was granted. But, few days later,
the agent again returned and suggested
that it would be quite an accommodation
if the property owner would allow large
tube run up the side of his house and let
all the wires for that locality go through
it. This was just little too much and
the owner of the house withdrew all pre-
vious agreements and decided not to putin
a telephone.
On Wednesday evening of next week,
the township committee will hold meet
ing to receive expressions on the proposed
(. renewal of the contract to light the town.
The present contractor, the Public Service
Corporation, is the only bidder. conse.
