Pushing Work of Building.

Contractor H. III. Hankins is push
ing work upon the new building of
Riley Brothers, the automobile dealer
1t will be structure that will be a
decided credit to the city.
The concrete base or foundations
have been laid the concrete has been
poured and the brick walls are going
up. The side walls are deep red brick,
while the front walls are of mottled
brick. Rounded corners add an at
tractlve appearance.
The building will be three stories in
height running back some sixty feet
from the street. The remainder of
the building in the rear will be but
one story in height.
The entire first floor will be devoted
to the automobile garage of the Riley
Brothers. 1t will be absolutely fire
proof with concrete floors. There will
be plenty of light both for the show
rooms and the workshop. All modern
equipments will be used to fit up the
place.
Arrangements are being made to
have non -combustible gasoline tank
placed under the sidewalk. This is a
scheme followed in all the large cities
and the plan has the approval of the
ire insurance underwriters.
The second and third floors of the big
structure will be finished up and
furnished as apartment houses, and
will be fitted with all modern con-
veniences.

No false pretense has marked the
career of Ely's Cream Balm. Being
entirely harmless, it is not responsible
like the catarrh snuffs and powders,
for minds shattered by cocaine. The
great virtue of Ely's Cream Balm is
that it speedily and completely over
comes nasal catarrh and hay fever.

LENIENCY TO THE
MANY DRUNKS.

Does it pay to be lienient to the class
of people who make it practice of be-
coming under the influence of liquor?
Is it good thing for the community
to have certain disreputable and dis
orderly characters feel that they are
not likely to be punished for breaches
of the peace?
These questions are being asked by a
good many people who learn that
habitual drunks and disorderly persons
are either being permitted to go un-
punished or at the most to have but
the minimum fine imposed.
1t may have been noticed recently
that there are certain persons who are
arrested charged with drunkenness time
after time, and there is no increasing
punishment, but rather, if any, just
the ordinary $3.50 fines and costs i'm
posed. Occasionally these old offenders
are given four days in Jail, but this
scarce sobers them up.
Bridgeton is a no license city by
virtue of the majority vote of the peo-
pie. 1t should be less excusable for
drunken persons to be at large here
than in places where liquor is permit.
ted to be legally sold. The police are
satisfied that many of the old offenders
are getting liquor in some illegal
fashion, but this fact in no wise miti-
gates those who week after week are
arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly.
There are good many people here
who very severely criticize the recent
experiment of driving drunken people
from the business streets instead of
placing them under arrest and safely
locked up where they Can do no harm
to themselves or anyone else. Only re-
Gently, under direction, one officer
made four efforts to get drunk off of
South Laurel street, finally succeeding
in getting the maudlin creature off on
Jefferson street, where he was left to
reel along and disturb decent people
who were obliged to go along that di-
rection.
Most people would feel far more safe
if the City Hall authorities would in
sist in showing the low down "reg.
ulars' that they could not be contin-
uously publicly drunk. There are far
too many of this class upon the streets.
They are dope fends, drinking all
sorts of concoctions that steal away
their brains. This particular class are
dirty, unkempt. disreputable in q 2psar-
ance and action. When they are under
the influence of drink and that is
pretty nearly all Of the time, they are
obscene and disgraceful and cause
much apprehension upon the part of
women who are upon the streets.
The people feel that this class of un-
desirables should be punished to the ex.
tent of the law, and it would really
seem that the community would be
better off if they were given lengthy
terms in Jail.
1t certainly would be cheaper for the
taxpayers to pay Jail board bills for
long terms, rather than many costs for
numerous arrests.

CUMMINGS GO
CHARGES ARE THROWN OUT

Tuesday was the time set for the
hearing of evidence in the charges
preferred by James Howell against
police officer Winfield S. Betchner.
The charges were presented week
ago and Council fixed last night as
the time for hearing testimony.
At eight O'Clock all of the members
of Council were present @with Presi-
dent John N. Glaspell in he chair
Following the roll call, a building
permit was granted to Joseph Gross
cup to make the improvements to
the DR.. T. J. Smith building, on East
Commerce street.
Mr.. Whipple then said that this was
legal holiday and as he understood
the situation City Council could not
legally sit as Court and determine
the innocence or guilt of Officer Betch.
ner, who was charged by James Howell
with conduct unbecoming an officer.
Mr.. Stevenson felt that this was far
fetched. He could not understand
why Columbus Day should preclude the
Councilmen from listening to the evil
dence in the case and If there was
anything in the legal holiday con-
tention, it would not be necessary to
pass judgment until some other date.
Mr.. Blew thought Councilmen
should have been notified. He had
sacrificed som mething to be present at
this meeting, and now his time was
wasted.
Mr.. Whipple asked City Solicitor
McAllister to, appear before Council
and state the case as the law affected
it.
Mr.. McAllister said that the law
provided that legal holidays were con-
sidered the same as the first day in
the week commonly called Sunday. He
further explained that c. E. Sheppard,
representing the complainant, Mr..
Howell objected to putting the case
before Council on legal holiday. Le-
Roy Loder, representing Mr.. Betchner,
had offered to waive all legal rights of
the defendants so far as the holiday
was concerned, but this had not served
to bring the complaintants before
Council.
Mr.. Sheppard and Mr. Howell we're
asked for.
Neither were present. it being ex-
planned that Mr.. Sheppard had gone
to Mays Landing. Mr. Whipple moved
that another time be fixed for hearing
the charges and this motion prevailed.
Then Mr.. Mulford moved that
Council adjourn until next Tuesday
night.
Mr.. Blew amended by moving to
adjourn, fixing no date for the subse-
quent meeting. The amendment of
Mr.. Blew was passed. and Council
adjourned.
This motion had the effect of throw
ing the case out of Council, and the
charges are now in the air. It was
the purpose Of Council to do this as
the members felt tsat if the complaint
was made in good filth, those making
them should be in CGuncil and arrange
for proper hearing d them.
If there is any furthS action taken
the whole matter will\now have to
be gone over again.

MOTOR CARS
FROM VINELAND.

The Vineland Journal said Tuesday
night:
'The first meeting for the purpose
of building a connecting motor car
line between Vineland and Bridgeton,
was held at the office of Wilson j
Purvis, Rosenhayn. yesterday after
noon. Mr. Patterson and Mr.. Steven
son with several other gentlemen from
Vineland, met by appointment mum
Der of representative citizens, and
plans were talked over for both passen-
ger and freight traffic. The new COM
pany intend to follow a straight line
west from VineIand to the river bridge
on Landis avenue and then bear away
west through Norma and Rosenhayn to
Bridgeton without crossing any line of
Central Railroad. Much of the right
of way has been obtained and much
of the capital stock subscribed, so it
was stated. A mass meeting of the
citizens of Rosenhayn, Norma and
Carmel will be held in the town hall
at Rosenhayn on Saturday night,
when all the plans of the new road
will be laid out for inspection"
Bridgeton pioneer., 1909-10-14

The Rosenhayn correspondent Of the
pioneer says that the project is
being advanced under the direction of
Frank M. Patterson, of Ohio, a builder
of standard gage railroads. 1t is the
purpose of the proposed company to
furnish a successful type of motor car.
Mr., Patterson has agreed to largely
finance the enterprise providing a
certain amount of the money is sub.
scribed by the owners of property here.
