Port Norris Wants a BRIDGE

Port Norris, N. j.. Feb. 1.-THE
citizens of Port Norris and all others
affected will meet in the Knights of
Pythias Hall here, on Wednesday
night, to discuss the much-discussed
project of bridging the Maurice River
at this point. For years the need of
communication between this place and
the opposite side of the river, where
the great colony of oystermen is
housed at the terminal station of the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, has
been keeniy felt as there is no bridge
between mere and the town of Maurice
River, several miles away.
The West Jersey & Seashore road
maintains ferry service of uncertain
value when the ice permits passage of
the stream, but the people who travel
over the railroad have found this so
anoonvenient and slow that the oIamor
Tor bridge connection has become
more and more insistent. 1t is said
That bridge of sufficient size can be-
pullt for $75, 900, and the Cumberland
county Board of Freeholders will be
urged TO consider the project.

MONEY FOR
SCHOOL PURPOSES.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 6.-The State
Board of Education has completed the
apportionment of school moneys for
1907, and shows the treasury for
school purposes to be in excellent con-
dition. The amount of money to be
raised by taxation for State School
purpose is So, 238, 558, and the amount
a pportioned rom the State fund to
lessen the amount to be raised by tax
alton is $1,O79. 519. This, with the
$200,0 900 apportioned from the State
school fund, makes total of 81, 518, OFT,
as against a total last year of
$S, 372. 628.
This increase is due to the increase
In ratables last year. The school tax
is raised each year on basis of 23z
mills on each dollar assessed valuation
of proper of the:preceding year.
The State Board of education in the
apportionment includes also the
money apportioned by the State Con-
troller under the tax to be derived
through the Perkins Main Stem Tax
law, which the railroads have carried
to the courts. This adds So, $50, ,867 to
the $4,518,077, and makes a grand
total Of $7,048, ,943 available for school
purposes for 1907, in addition to what
may be raised through local taxes.
This means an increase of about
ITO per cent. over what was available
last year, and will materially reduce
the amount of money to be raised by
local taxation. In fact many of the
rural districts will be provided with
more money than they have ever
spent for school purposes, even in
cluding what they have raised by
local taxation.
The amounts apportioned to the
different counties follow: Atlantic,
1864, 1904 Bergen. $2S1, ,316.O8; Bur-
lington, $134, 11497; Camden, 1885,

KNITTING MILL
FOR BRIDGETON.

Rridgeton will have still another
new enterprise.
This time it will be knitting mill
and will locate in time for spring
operations.
Negotiations for the concern have
been carried on very quietly, and the
facts surrounding the matter have
heen kept from the public.
Monday the various contractors
were called in by the owners OF the
nlaut formerly occupied as an iron
foundry by Charles Laning, opposite
the old West Jersey depot on Walnut
street. to figure upon plans which
will very considerably change that
huildiug around. The changes pro-
nosed are many and will almost en-
tireIy remodel the plant and make 1t
especially adapted for knitting mill.
The foundry building is of brick
with slate roof, and is most substan-
tially built. It is we'll located. con
venieut of access, and situate In the
heart of a district that is thickiy pop
uIated, SO that the question OF help
should be we'll cared for.
1t is understood that the knitting
mill is owned by a Pennsylvania con-
Germ that is already established IN
business and that the prospects for
splendid industrial here, are good. 1t
is further understood that the plan OF
she promoters of the concern is to have
the changes made in the plant at once
so that the new enterprise will be
ready fer operation in the spring.
Employment will thuslbe given to q
number of people, and it is quite GER
tain that it will grow to be very
substantial enterprise.

v,neland's Rival Gas Companies

Vineland, Feb. 12.-The fight be-
tween the Millville and Vineland gas

turn this morning.
The people who control the Vine-
land Light & Power Company yester-
day organized another company to be
known as the Vineland Gas Company,
and chose James @. Morrow president,
J. H. Dowler, Jr., Secretary, and H.

came here and organized the Citizens

B. Kemble president, H. l.. Roberts
and W. F. Tower vice-presidents, W.
G.. Livermore secretary, and s. J.

A BIG SIGN
TELLS THE SRORY.

Manufactured by the Sanitary Gan
Company.
Factories In
Fairport, New York.
Indianapolis, Indiana.
"Bridgeson, New jersey"
Thus, the whole world interested in
canning, realizes that Bridgeton is ON
the map.
Thus does the Sanitary Company
announce that it will locate a branch
plant in this city.
The Sanitary Company is one of the
heaviest exhibitors in the big ,exposi-
tion of the National Gamers Associa
tion, now in annual convention in
Buffalo, N. Y. Directly over this
great exhibit is great electric sign,
and blazing out from it are the letters
and words at the head of this story
formed by hundreds and hundreds of
inoandescent lights.
1t is an interesting announcement to
the people of this community. 1t is
interesting because it seems almost an
official announcement of the com.
pany's final determination in the
matter that has for some time agitated
the people here.
The Sanitary Company has evidently
faith in the city of Bridgeton, and
knows that the necessary $50, COO worth
OF preferred stock will be subscribed,
and in consequence is arranging for
the location of the branch plant here.
The announcement as made at the
Buffalo exposition is pretty nearly
convincing.
1t is understood that the company
has practically decided upon a site
here, and 1t is likely that it will
be IN North Bridgeton. 1t is said that
the best site for the concern is consid-
cred that at Penn and Bank streets
Here is all the railroad facilities, and
the ground is exceedingly valuable and
lies in good shape.
Just watch TOR official announcement
which will be along, and then work
will follow upon the big concrete
buildings.

FIRE LADDIES
ENJOY BANQUET.

The members of the Bridgeton Fire
department. are noted for their hos
pltallty and they have had many very
successful affairs, of which the dinner
last New Years day stands out promi.
nentIy. but of all the dinners and en-
tertainments that they have given,
there have probably been none that
have been enjoyed with more genuine
pleasure than the dinner they gave
Iuesday evening to the ladies. It was
In every way success and an evening
pleaFurably spent; the dinner was
purely IN honor of the ladies and the
only gentlemen present outside of the
department were the members of the
press, The invitations read for s. 20
and 1t was shortly after that when the
company sat down to the banquet
table which had been arranged on the
second floor of the engine house.
John Baumgarten, President Of the
Firemen's Association welcomed the
ladies on behalf of the department IN
pleasant little speech. Every mem
Der Of the fire department was present
and there were about forty ladies pres
ent as their guests. The dinner was
mace as informal as is possible at
course dinner, and everyone tried to
MAKE everyone else enjoy themselves.
The tables were not arranged with
any idea of giving special prominence
to any of the embers, but it was also
noticeable that they had taken pre-
cautions for quick exit in case the
fire alarm should ring, for fire chief
George Kinkle, engine drivers James
Neal and George Green, were each
seated at the ends of the table nearest
the stairway, but happily there was
no alarm and the evening PASSED eff
without anything to mar the occa-
sion.
Tne banquet room was decorated
with flags and flowers and at each
plate was laid Mckinley carnation
as souvenir of the event; the menus
were also carried away as souvenirs,

served by the deft walters under the
direction of caterer S. M. Ogden.
