THE QUARANTINE CARDS

An afternoon session OF the Board
OF Health was held Monday after
noon, to discuss the advisability Of
placing quarantine placards upon
houses In which there may be con
tagious or infectious diseases. Re-
Gently an inquiry was addressed to
the Secretary OF the State Board OF
Health regarding the iudiciousness
of adopting the placard plan OF other
towns. The Secretary's reply, which
was non-committal, was discussed
at the impromptu meeting, the re-
suit being that placards were order
ed printed.
Criticism has been leveled at tie
local Board Of Health because warn
ing cards have not been placed upon
houses; In order to silence the COM
plants and to provide additional
protection where quarantine is nee
essary yellow cards will hereafter be
tackled upon dwellings by the Board
Of Health Inspector.

FLUID AND FLUID,
TOO MUCH FOR GOOD

The car was a $1,000 Thomas and
the occupants were on their way
from New York to Atlantic City for
a few days outing to be spent at
Hotel Brighton. The crowd was
well supplied with liquor and all
would have gone well on the trip
Thursday afternoon, but the bridge
at Smithvillu stood in the way of
the beautiful, hired car and chauffeur
The car bumped, spilling the occu-
pants, who escaped with bruises, and
1t was totally wrecked even before
fire broke out. The gasoline tank
was crushed and the fluid was scat
tered over the wreck, which caught
fire and every thing burnable, to the
hubs, is gone.
Names could net be ascertained
and the party proceeded by train to
Atlantic City leaving the wreck at
the scene. One cylinder remains un-
harmed, worth about $40.

EFFORTS TO Be MAD[ TOR G|V|C IMPROVEMENT

Many were called and at the start
off there was little encouragement
that even q few would be present at
Thursday nights Board OF Trade
meeting. One feature was strongly
n evidence, that the main support
Tor the betterment and Improvement
Of the town Of PleasantviIle must
come from those who adopted the
town. or who have business interests
here. Other than first vice president
Stebbias aud p. B. Risley not sim
gle born-on- the-sDd resident OF Pleas
antville was present. The Board OF
Trade does not wag any political
kite, which may account for the
absence OF other prominent men.
Then too, revival services kept many
willing ones away.
The meeting was held In The Press
office. In the absence OF president
Lore Mr.. Charles Stebbins occupied
che chair. Two new men Joined L he
Board. Rev. Mr.. Speakman and Mr..
Roland Place. The guests OF the

on to give his experiences as secretary
OF a board of trade In another town.
He told how in his official capacity
he had come into correspondence
withsthe Philadelphia board OF trade
as well as those of other towns. In
doing this he secured literature, data

turers who contemplated changes in

Ed. Logan OF lakewood. is keeping
very quiet on the question OF consoli-

fact that be is absorbed In the pro-

Mr.. Place reasoned that as matters
stand possible manufacturing in-
quiTers could not be given tang ible
or Intelligent information. The map
C cpmmittee will keep an eye ON this
subject as well.
Superintendent Mcconnell Of the
Asylum made brief but valuable
talk. He said in effect that the Board
of Trade should become a valuable
accessory to the Borough's Council
men, or In other words a power
behind the legislative body, to devise
and draft plans whereby the Borough
may be benefited and beautified.
He also thinks that ideas should
originate In the Board meeting and
be presented to Council for execution.

prompted by Mr.. Speakman who ad.
vOcated that the Board stand for
civic improvement along general
lines. The latter gentleman spoke
in favor OF having committee to
look after tbeimproyement OF vacant
lots and in fact, anything and every
thing that will tend to enhance the
beauty and attractiveness of the
town. Accordingly committee con-
sisting OF Messrs. Shewell, Watkins
and Risley were appointed to advance
civic Improvements and report at
the next meeting.
Mr. J. Byron Rogers Is In favor OF
any measures the Board may take to
Improve the town, but does not

such deplOrable condition.
The next meeting will be held
