Mr.. Elias Campbell is In favor Of
paving and is going to begin on his
own property. He had been told
that the town does not own WASH
ington Avenue south Of Shore Road,
but the Councilmen set him right on
this question.
Charles Collins and Winfield Adams
also spoke favorably, the latter add
ing Ego ahead and do as much az
you can."
A vote was finally taken on the
resolution, which appears in another
column and is self explanatory.
Decisions were read from Solicitor
Ashmead on the following points:
That the Borough can collect taxes
on the Atlantic City Water Com
pany's property.
That he will collect the restrained
interest from the Suburban Traction
Company from December, 1906 to the
time OF the last payment OF taxes and
interest, but that the interest sum
will not exceed per cent.
Receiver Clawson has informed Mr..
Ashmead that he has ordered a car
load OF octagonal poles to be set up
In place of the rotten and round ones.
Mr. Clavson will also take up the
matter OF crossings at Lennox,
Franklin and Washington Avenues
and report later.
In the matter OF delinquent taxes
Mr.. Ashmead says that Z per cent.
only can be added and collected, and
that goods and chattels can be seized
by the town.
Bills were ordered paid as follows:

STRUGGLES OF IHE
gOLOR[D BAPHSIS

To allay certain misinformation
the Rev. l.. Wars wishes the public
to know that there is only one legal
congregation of colored Baptists In
Pleasantville, the Mt. Zion Church
which was lorganized Oct Is. 1905,
with but seven members. On Oct.
26 OF that year the first payment on
a lot at Wright street west of the W.
and s. s. r. Z. was made. This
central location was selected to ac-
commodate the people from all parts
OF the Borough. For II years pre-
vious to the above named date un-
successful efforts were made to form
a colored Baptist Church In this
vicinity, but 1t remained for the
present leader and counsel to realize
the dreams
At a council held on Nov. %, 1906
in the First Baptist Church it was
decided to set apart the Mt. Zion
congregation as regular Baptist
Church, and the Rev. Mr.. Stratton
and the members of his church rend-
cred valuable assistance to the effort
after a careful examination OF rec
ords. On December 81, 1906, incor-
poration papers were filed at May 9
Landing, therefore any other organ
ization of colored Baptists is subord-
mate to the Mt. Zion church.
The last payment on the lot was
made on June 26 and the pastor
hopes to have house OF worship
completed about October |. The
twenty-five members of the church
are somewhat handicapped by their
present quarters, private room.
Thus in spite OF vigorous oppos-
ition, the Mt. Rion church prospers.
The pastor makes an earnest appeal
to the good people of Pleasantville
to extend their sympathy and help
in response to this, his earnest ap-
peal.

BOARD OF TRADE
INFLUENCE HEI

Ways and means were discussed at
Thursday nights meeting of the
Board OF Trade to arouse interest In
this the one organization of this
town that must be looked to for
endorement of public spirited move
ments. Entirely too few men were
present at the meeting considering
the number OF notices mailed by the
secretary, but those who were pres
ent evidenced sufficient enthusiasm
to make up for the lack of numbers.
Valuable suggestions were made by
MessYs. FL. V. Rogers. j. W. Watkins.
Wilbur Reed, Mayor North, "a. G.
Thomas and President Lore. The
gentlemen are all desirous OF making
the Board a powerful factor In Kor-
nugh affairs. and 1t was proposed to
have a committee appointed to ar
~ange for a big public meeting in
Red Mems Hall soon after the rush
Of summer work is over.
Mr.. Rogers is of the opinion that
more individual effort is necessary
on the part of those who attend the
meetings to induce the presence Of
every man In the town to join the
Board and become active.
Mr.. Ill. j. Murtagah, of Washing
ton Avenue, has joined the BoarG
and he expects to take an active part
in it's affairs.
The influence of the Board Of Trade
is to be extended; 1t has and is being
felt in the town, and it's the readers
duty to attend the meeting on July
18th.

OPPOSITION ONIOMPROVENENISNL

Captain Lewis G. Lake, from his
standing position at one end OF the
Council room, on last Monday night,
simply worked a lever somewhere
back of his ears and his magazine
Of questions became somewhat ex-
hausted. His darts were leveled at
the Borough's representatives around
the green table, but a majority OF
these men might as well have been
elsewhere, at least none but Mr.. Reed
attempted to answer the intrepid
Captain, and the Councilman kept
bis end up. These few questions were
propounded by Captain Lake:
"Why are the streets designated In
the ordinance to be paved? II paving
Ia proposed on Shore Road why not
on the south as well as the north
side?"
"Why does no one arise to reduce
expenses" 1t seems to me certain
people are always asking us to In
crease our Borough's expenses"
This sally brought an explanation
from Mr.. Reed, who said: "The object
Of this plan OF paving is to make i'm
provements fall lightly on those who
will be affected and included In the
layout" He also told Captain Lake
that the reason the committees de-
cided to pave only one side OF Shore
Road was because 1t has been some
what conceded that the street must
be widened, and II this is done the
property line will be set back on the
south side.
Lawyer Sparks refrained from talk.
ing as long as he could, but Captain
Lakes desultory firing finally pro
voked an onslaught from the doughty
Board OF Trade exponent, who re-
piled with a battery Of oratory that
made the room ring, and he did more
towards bringing the dissenters from
the plan to improve the town to
their senses than any man could ex-
cept possibly Moses OF old. Mr..
Sparks replied to Captain Lakes In
Quiry regarding the reduction oi
expenses by saying that "a child
is inexpensive to it's parents when
swaddljng clothes will cover naked.
ness, but when the child becomes
grown up expenses increase" The
simile was sufficient. Mr.. Sparks
pointed remarks supporting the idea
OF paving included this one: 1T ie
surely quite as respectable to pave the
sidewalks as to buy your wife shoes,
and considerably more economical. .
/ Mr.. Elfra Sooy long ago decided
that the time is ripe to improve the
dewalks, but he has Abeen thinking
1t over" and after the preliminary
steps and expenses have been made
he thinks he Is against this particular
ordinance-or any other one In gen
eral. He also thinks that Frank
Blackman's cinder sidewalk is ar
good as Wilbur Reeds fine stone one.
He said 80, but then, Mr.. Sooy has
been known to 60 back on his word.
Mr.. Sooy made another surprising
remark, that 1t seems strange to him
that strangers come to town and
before very long they begin making
fun OF our streets, but he notices that
the strangers stay with us.
