SLIGHT EVENING FIRE

There was a slight fire, due to a defec
tive flue, at the home Of Daniel NJ Scull
Noahs road and Church street, Thursday
evening about 7.30 o'clock. The alarm
bell was promptly sounded, willing mel
responded to the call, but there was s
delay OF nearly Is minutes before Messrs
Buzby and Zentmayer arrived at tht
engine house with horses to haul th,
apparatus.
A quick run was at last made, but in
vain, as the neighbors had formed &
bucket brigade and cut Figure eights"
on the slippery shingles as they extin-
guishcd the flames that broke through
the roof surrounding the chimney.
Superintendent Bostock of the Water
Company, was gratified at the general
result, but he could not help feeling a
twinge of disappointment, as he had
upon hearing the first stroke of the
alarm, telephoned to the pumping station
for direct pressure, and it came, for his
Office guage showed pressure of S5
pounds, which probably meant 100
pounds at Bargaintown

ALSO HOPES TO HAVE GA

FOR THE TOWN.

The Council meeting held on lond5
night was one Of unusual intere
DR.. Sooy made an earnest app<Bl 10
the general betterment of the borough n
the way Of improved roads, create
water supply and fire system hic1|
would insure saftey.
He reminded the members that thi1
town is one built Of wood; also that m0st
of the buildings in construction are fire
traps. 1t is his special aim to bring
the erection Of buildings to higher
standard. As first step in this direc-
ton committee was appointed to draft
code. An official building inspector
should be appointed and he should be
sufficiently remunerated to justify thor
ough work on his part.
A greater water supply is highly inn
portant for fire emergencies and, in con-
nection with this the subject Of an engine
to do efficient work was introduced. The
present hand engine is equal in power
with the water supply. Both are made
quate. An engine could be installed 1T \
cost of from $1,000 to $4,000 and paid
for on easy terms, extending in time
over three or more years. By this meth
cd the tax payers would feel but little
increase and all property greatly safe
guarded.
The installation Of twenty five fire
plugs was ordered. Some have been nut
in and desultiory work is still being done
on them.
A better road system is especially
needed and the Mayor dwelt on the sub
ject with considerable emphasis. al
ready the old process of tax payers
working out their taxes has been elm
mated and each road worker is paid for
his labor as in any other work.
In finishing remarks, the Mayor ex-
pressed the hope that the Council would
continue to work together harmoniously
and further the wide interests Of the
twon. With knowledge that improved
roads, water and fire system and proper
building regulations, the Mayor said that
he would feel satisfied when he vacated
his Office.

At THE SIGN Of THE PRESS


The Atlantic City Mayor has appointed
a committee to advance the interests OF
the new Ocean boulevard, running from
Atlantic Highlands, near New York, to
Cane Nav. The route in this vicinity will
stretch between the present Shore Road
and the meadows.
All owners of slice of terra tirma
near the new highway are preparing to
cut all former acquaintance and live IN
marble fronts. This boulevard will give
a powerful impetus to the real estate
values of Atlantic City suburbs.
But few years hence the meadow
land for miles adjacent to Atlantic City
will yield vast wealth to those who now
consider their marsh holdings as nearly
valueless.

One of the chief obstacles N latter
day advancement of church popularity
has been the difficulty of corralling the
attendance of the male portion of COM
munities. The sisters are ever present,
Jealous and usually to be depended upon.
The brothers scarce and with starchcd
collars and Sunday clothes, the domin-
les rarely reached their ears, much less
the souls of the brawny.
In Atlantic City Reverend Sidney Good
man has struck the right chord among
the male element and easily attracts
two thousand men into his church. Mar
velous achievement How has he ac-
complished it? By simplicity, ease OF
the physical part of men, DIR. Goodman
is essetially mans man. ne does not
address his male audience in negligec
shirt nor convert stogles into ashes. He
allows the men such freedom while lis
tening to his sound teachings The re
suit is that his practical, plain advice
reaches vast number of men who other
wise might be amidst VICIOUS surround
