GRASS CUTTING STOPS

Since early Wednesday morning
folks hereabOut have changed their
minds about the kind OF weather
that Is to be dished out this winter.
Previous to the above date the indi-
cations have been that instead OF a
cold and snowy season after the
birth OF the year, we might have
mild, balmy winter, with a rainy
season such as they have in tropical
countries and In California.
The sun has not shone since early
Sunday morning, and up until 8
O'Clock on that day theoutdoor man
or woman had reason to believe
that Spring had indeed come. Rose
bushes have been showing signs Of
life. and Chief Reinar claims he has
cut the grass In his yard. If he
hadn't there would begrass 10 inches
high by this time.
Last year MIR. Charles Burkard sur
prised his invalid brother Joe by
producing rose bushes In full bloom
In their front yard early In March
Is the Chief trying to outdo his
neighbor?
However to show that there are
no especially hard feelings toward
those who Just love winter with
it's SHOWS full fiedged brand OF
the article I'VE had when we were
boys began about q. m. Wednes-
day. Flakes began to fly and con-
tinued their descent all day and
during the night. Shortly before
noon on Thursday mixture Of
rain and sleet began coming down,
accompanied with prospects OF in
creased moisture.
The bakers and milkmen began
making Thursday morning deliveries
on Wednesday evening in anticipa-
ton Of snowfall. The members OF
the Councilmanic Street Committee
wore long faces, too. They had a
balance left from last years snow
account, end have been patting
themselves with the thought that
the entire appropriation for this
year might be left over, but the
weather vender wOt it otherwise.
The snow plow was working on
Thursday, with Mr.. c. W. Justice
as jockey.

huuse from utter destruction had thf
water held out, or had they been
able to connect the hose lines with
plugs. After the water supply war
exhausted the mems hands were tied.
That portion OF the Borough visit
ed by fire on Saturday night is moi
the only one minus water plugs
Numerous other sections Of the town
are likewise situated. Only recently
Mr.. William Champion appeared In
Council In behalf Of the property
owners in Pleasant Avenue, who de-
sire water plug In their neghboY
hood. Property owners in Adams
Avenue, Third and Fourth Streets
are also clamoring for pugs. A plug
is situated at Adams Avenue and
Main Street, another about 800 feet
westward. and beyond that point
there is absolutely no water avail
able in case OF fire except from wells
quickly exhausted when drawn upon
by the fire engine.
The close proximity of the latter
plugs is an unwise condition OF al
fairs. A remedy should be applied
as soon as possible. Plugs should be
at least 1000 feet apart.

HEALTH BOARD 70 ACT AGAINST OFFENDERS

Thare is q question Of great import
confronting Pleasautville and one
that will be grappled with by the
local Board OF Health. A special
meeting OF the body was held Mon
day evening for the purpose Of Keor
ganizing. During the proceedings
knowledge was diffused which makes
it proof positive that the few cases
of contagious diseases In the Bor-
ough at the present time are directly
tracable to almost criminal or wilful
negligence on the. part of health
authorities in other towns and cities.
Testimony was presented the Board
showing that scarlet fever has been
carried into household bya relative
)f the family, who had quite recently
left the bedside OF her child. This
child when left by the mother was In
q ronvalescent state from the dis
ease, or In the scaling period, the
most dangerous time to carry con-
tagion from one to another. Yet
this mother, after nursing the child
through the ravages Of the disease

rtfrained from visiting healthy
homes, YVES permitted by a doctor

THE VALUE Of
GREAT PUBLICITY

The value Of Atlantic City's Bureau
of Information and Publicity to the
resort is shown In the first annual
report just issued by Director George
5. Lenhart. The organization is ei
fectiye and not at all cumbersome
and is SO constituted that the Direc
tor is able to secure advice or action
ia a very brief time. Director Len
hart has shown himself to be cap
able official and gentleman, and one
endowed with the necessary general
ship qualities to make the most Of
means at hand.
A brief summary OF the Bureaus
work follows: An average OF 1000
visitors have called at the headquar.
ters, Tennessee and Pacific Avenues.
monthly. To date 2S conventions
have been secured for Atlantic City
for the year 1907 through Mr.. Len
hart. The current year promises to
be one of the busiest and best for all
Atlantic City's interest and there is
no doubt the Bureau OF Information
and Publicity has contributed large
ly to this end.
The entire success OF the Bureau is
attributed to consistent advertising,
fact worth recognition by all
municipalities.

OBJECT TO REMOVAL MAY BE LAW SUIT OVER SURFACE
 CLOSET QUESTION. Property Owners are Making Com. piaint to Mayor Teague, and
 Are Said to Be PrepaF-
 !nE to Fight.

Objections to the removal of surface closets on the part of property own CTS of the city have been making their way to the office of Mayor Teague ever since the intentions of the city to have enforced the ordinance providing for the removal were made known. Com- plaints, Mayor Teague says, came to the offlce from various sources all last week, and the indications point to the fact that when enforcement proceed ings are instituted by the city a royal battle will be commenced in Montgom- cry.
 Since receiving the printed slips pro- viding that all such closets shall be | taken off the premises or connected with the sanitary sewerage. the Sani- tary Department has been making an active canvass of such buildings in Montgomery. and as a result of the inspections 1t has been found that more are in commission than was supposed The sanitary inspectors are making the inspections every day. and as soon as the conditions are reported the printed slips calling for the removal have been sent to the property owners. | The argument made by Some of the | property owners is tbat such proceed ings in spite of the city ordinances and legislative law. are unconstitu- l tfonal The city, on the other hand, is | contending that the legislative bill as passed fully covers all constitutional provisions. the proposed removal com ing under the polics powers of the city.
 It is expected that the objections on the part of the property owners to compliance with the city's ordinan nces will resolve themselves into legal pro- ceedings that will be tested before the Supreme Court of the State.
