POSTOFF|CE
CALLS HALT
ADVERTISEMENTS RELATING TO
GIFT AWARDS MUST BE EX-
GUIDED FROM MAILS.
Postmaster Beltz Has Submitted Num-
bers of Questions to Department
and In Every Instance Informed
That Lottery and Chance Schemes
Must Be Excluded.

The lottery law has been called into
question a number of times of late in
Laramie and Postmaster Beltz has been
called upon several times to render de-
cision as to whether certain advertis-
ing and other matter would be pass
able in the mails. On each occasion
The has passed the question up to the
lpostofice department at Washington
and in every instance has been in
formed that the lottery law positively
prohibits the circulation in the mails
of any advertising matter that has ref,
%erence to gifts made by lot or chance.
Recently a number of local merch,
ants have started gift enterprises and
one of the number asked Postmaster
.Beltz for a ruling as to whether their
advertising matter would be passable
in the mail. All reference to the mean
of distribution had been eliminated but
the department ruled hat it came un,
der the lottery law and all reference
to it must be excluded from the mails.
Newspapers Get Notice.
Postmaster Beltz mas therefore mott,
fed the newspapers that they must
~henceforth refrain from the use of mat,
ter that in any way refers to these en-,
.terprises where the spirit of lot or
chance is a factor. The postmas'
ter also suggests that hereafter all
reference to the winners of prizes at
card parties and the like be eliminated
from the reports of such functions as
it is plainly in violation of the lottery
law

70. CREATE NEW TOWNSHIP, J.
NeWbOId and WestVIIIe TO Be One

A number Of prominent citizens of the
WestvilIe end Of Deptford township met in
Woodbury. last Monday for the purpose Of
arranging the lines Of the proposed division
Of Deptfoyd township, when new PROPOSE
tion wss sprung by Township Committee
man Goldy, Of Westville. His proposition
is to bring into the new township those
portions Of Deptford and West Deptford
lying North Of the Northern boundaries OF
Woodbury., about on line with Magnolia
ave. and Hessian ave. His idea is that
the portion Of Deptford lying North Of
Magnolia ave. and the road past the Sishens
farm be taken from Deptford, and that por-
tion Of West Deptford lying North Of Hes
sian ave. and Washington Park, be included
in the new towns hip, with Westville as the
capitol This would make a township OF
considerable wealth, having Washington
Park with its $50, 900 Of assessed value and
81, 500 license fee, and the villages of West
vile. Newbold and Victoria. The report
is that the people Of that portion Of Dept
ford lying South Of the Magnolia ave. line,
are satisfied to be freed from the Northern
half, but as the scheme Of taking SO much
wealth from West Deptford is yet new the
way in which this poposition will be greeted
is not known.
A citizen suggests that if the Northern
portions Of these townships desire to be
united under sone municipal governments,
the Southern portions Of each might find it
desirable to pool their issues and go to-
gether It seems certain that the Southern
portion Of either would make a very small
township, and each would find the expense
Of maintaining separate governments bur-
densome, while if united they would form
very compact body. But the turnpike
has for so long been the division line be-
tween the Deptfcrds, we doubt if either
would feel exactly satisfied to break down
the old line Of demarcation.
Mr.. Avis had gone to Trenton when the
delegation called on Monday, and his action
on the new proposition cannot now be fore
told.
Somebody is responsible for the report
getting out that the scheme Of dividing
Deptford was started with view OF secur-
ing another Chosen Freeholder. That
somebody in South Deptford wants to be
Freeholdef and that his chances are small
with Westville exerting such large in
fuence at the polls.
However, all these things will deyelope
as time progresses.
