Letter to Henry III. Ottens,
Anglesea. n, j,

Dear Sir: Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi, n. Y,
had two houses exactly alike, aud
painted them; one Devoe lead-and-zinc
the other barytes-and-zinc. He paid
same price for both paints.
He used six gallons of lead-and-zinc,
II gallons barytes-and-zinc.
He paid SIS for painting lead-and-
zinc, S36 for painting barytes-and-zinc.
The total cost of the lead-and-zinc
job was S27; the total cost of the barry
tes-and-zinc job was $54.
He didn't know he was buying barry
ties; the dealer told him that paint was
as good as DevCe.
A fair example of how it generally
comes-out, when you buy something
just as good" Better go by the name:
the name; and the name is Devoe.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & Co.,

A JOURNAL representative in his
walks abroad has noted the splendid
improvements which have taken place
out in the new West Side district.
There is the new apartment house, cor
ner Wild wood and Park avenues, built
by Mrs. Bosch, of Oak Lane, and her
splendid cottage adjoining which she
is now occupying. Corner Maple and
Park n is the imposing West
Side apartments built by Contractor
Ham for Chas. f. Mcclure, of Phila-
delphia. There is now going UP out
on Glenwood avenue, neal Hudson,
two double cottages which will be COM
pleted in the near future and we are
informed are already rented. The
West Jersey Electric Company is pla-
cling poles the whole length of Park
avenue and also out Maple avenue as
far as the lake, thus making this one
of the best lighted districts and in a
short time this will be a most desirable
section of Wildwood. The Borough
Council has authorized the grazing,
curbing and paving of Maple avenue
west to the lake from Park avenue,
which will be done at the earliest pos
sible time.

DIDN'T ASK FOR THEM.
People Evidently Not ANXIOUS for Ex-
tension of Water Mains.

Failure on the part of residents in
the city living in the districts not fur
nished with city water to petition for
main extensions will probably result
in the laying of a very small portion
of the 10000 feet of mains ordered.
But three petitions, amounting ia all
to about three blocks, have been fled
with the board of waterworks com
missioners.
I'VE are receiving any number of
letters asking for city wa;er and ex-
tensions, but no petitions, said c. E.
Jewell today There have been but
three petitions filed with the board.
In each instance where We have re-
ceived the letters from the individuals
we have told them that on the pre-
sentatiOn Of the proper petition we
would be glad to consider the matter
of furnishing city water. We have
never received any answer in reply to
this statement of ours, and the only
conclusion which we can come to is
that these people are not so hot after
city water as appearances would indi-
cate. We can't act except upon filed
petitions; that is specified in the ordi-
nance governing the management of
the waterworks department. We have
to have petitions which guarantee that
sufficient patronage Will accrue to
provide for a yearly revenue of 10
per cent. of the cost of the extension.
We expect to let the contract for the
| 10000 feet of pipe soon. and we would
like to know where these petitions
will come from in order to plan our
work in advance.
"One of the things which we are
planning to do in connection with this
new work is the installation of larger
sized hydrants. Wherever there is
a school house or large building we
will put in the 6-inch MIGRANTS instead
of the 4. There is not much difference
in the first cost between the two. In
course of time we also plan to take
