is generally regarded as the only logical
method to employ in fighting corpora
tions which stifle competition and ignore
franchise obligations.
Not only have they appealed to the
Public Utilities Commission to ascertain
by what right one trolley corporation
secures control of competing parallel
line and Immediately increases the rate
of fare, but they have also concluded to
make the railroad corporations within
the borough live strictly up to the law
on these matters which the public was
inclined to generously overlook when it
was being treated fairly.

Mr. Edges newspaper has evolved the
following, which shows that the real
fame Of Pleasantville has reached the
other side OF the Thoroughfare:
although few communities i'll this
day of great corporate strength succeed
in correcting corporate abuses, ultimate
success is logical prediction for Pleas

fighting the disastrous conditions brought
about by high-handed evasion Of fran
chise obligations.
"Pleasantville is conducting just now
sane, united, thoughtful campaign TO
secure its just rights. 1t is not setting
off many fireworks. They make great
noise, but usually accomplish little.
Borough Council, the Borough Mayor
and an organization Of intelligent eiti-

none the less vigilantly and vigorously,
to bring about reforms in certain out
rageous conditions.

plaint will be made by the councilmen.
Want Uniforms
About two months ago upon the re-
commendation of Mr.. Ryon blue uni
form. with brass buttons on it, was
bought for marshal Harry McDermott.
This suit of clothing was to remain the
property Of the borough and Mr.. McDer-
mott has been one Of the nattiest look
ing officials of the town, but not with
out arousing the ire of the other men on
the police force. Marshal learcks was
present Monday night and wanted to
know why he and Cap Lake were not
.reated as well as McDermott. He felt
that if one man is to be clothed by the
borough the other officers should fare
the same way. Mr.. Ryon felt the thrust
and told Jake" that if he would buy
himself new suit Of clothes he (Mr.
Ryonl would pay for the biggest por-
tion Of it out of his own pocket.
Talked Water Plant
Mr.. Conover introduced the subject
that catches the crowd-that Of a muni-
cipal water plant. He did not, however,
offer plan of financing the scheme, but
he did say that unless there is improve
ment in the service insurance companies
may salt" the town for higher prem
iums The mayor objects to the Social
istc idea on the ground that municipal
plant is bound to afford political berths
and that the people might soon tire Of
the business. The Water Company re-
cords show that the average daily con-
sumption of water by customers amounts
to 500 gallons. This will ruin any con
Germ" said the engineer Of the company.
In reply to the charge that there was
no pressure at the time of the O'Donnell
hotel fire, this official said that he had
understood there was and that the fire
fighters had been eXtravagant by using
a Samese coupling, which threw three
streams from one nozzle. He added that
at the time the fire broke out the com
pany's gauge showed pressure Of 60
pounds This is a queer statement to
make when it is well known that the
iremen were unable at times to get a
drink of water at the nozzles.

Mr. Joseph Melluel was an Interested
listener at the session and upon receiv-
ing an invitation from the Mayor he re-
piled as follows:
eve have hired lawyer and are 60
ing to push the fight to a finish. | I'M
derstand that Council is endeavoring to
bring about some condition whereby
the Shore Road may be temporarily re-
paired at a cost Of probably $4,000, but
this will not interfere with our work.
We are working on the high fare propo-
stion. If the Suburban has violated it,
franchise obligation then the fact ought
to be ascertained and the Suburban
tracks should come out of the Shore
Road if the citizens have to roll up their
sleeves and do it, | cannot understand
why trolley companies should take such
action. If a town is fostered and built up
their business increases; if it declines
their business decreases. 1t seems to me
that they have killed the goose, as the
saying goes, in raising the fare on Pleas

BOARD NEEDS AN INSPECTOR

Dr. A, R. Judson has handed his re
sgnation as inspector of the Pleasase-
vile Board of Health to Mayor Craw-
ford. The vacancy is effective at once,
and now the quandary is, who shall fill
the doctors shoes? Every physician in
this town has declined the honor, for
that is about all the position amounts to,
as it does not entitle the holder to more
than $50 a year salary. This resigna-
tion is keen disappointment to the
members Of the BoaItl Of Health, as dur
ing Dr. Judson's short term Of office the
town has received efficient inspection.
Poor health is ascribed as the Doctors
reason for resigning from the Board and
his local medical practise.

Market conditions this week were not
bustling. Sales there were in fairly
plentiful number, mostly of Wisconsin
binder leaf, old Pennsylvania and old
Sumatra, but, saving the binder pur-
chases, in no bulk to speak of. Yet
that the recuperation spoken of last
week is real and likely to be lasting is
fairly well assured The growing GER
tainty that considerably less than the
average American purchases of Suma-
ira will come on this market when the
Inscriptions are through is causing a
clean up of old stocks and more
friendly attitude toward the new wrap
pers now being tried out. These latter
are improving on better acquaintance.
Reverting back to the filler grades,
while there has been little doing in Ha-
vana goods, the long drouth which has
Just been succeeded by too late rain
fall, has boosted old Cuban stocks (such
as remain) to high point. AS already
indicated, the binder market is particu-
larly strong. Good Wisconsin packings
are moving steadily. journal.

l hear of several who have been
planting out their tobacco. Plants are
not yet very plentiful. Still several
have a limited amount, hardly enough
to warrant their going to setting. But
with the beds so well wet few warm
days will work wonders.
Some are laying this cold, windy
weather to the account of the comet,
but if my memory serves me right
can remember quite number of cold,
windy spells, when we have had little
sprinkles of rain, in the past decade,
and think it more common than other
wise during April and May
Some have about finished blowing and
fitting their tobacco land. So far as |
can learn there will be about the usual
acreage this season.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Wethersfeld, Ct., May IA: The plants
are coming along slowly as the nights
are so cool. Hatfield, Mass: &C. L.
Warner has begun to set out tobacco,
and others are expecting to soon follow
suit. The plants are ahead of the sea-
son this year. The growers have not
been able to hold them back as much
as desired, because the weather has
been too cold to have the glass off the
beds" Bradstreet, Mass: Tobacco
setting has begun to some extent. Bel
den Brothers have four acres set. Gil
bert Morton is also setting some. Al
bert Marsh has also begun to set. Sew
eral others have plants about ready to
set, and setting will be quite general
the present week. North Hatfield,
Mass: Carlton Crafts and R. Nj.
Swift have had to remove the glass
from their beds as their plants are get
ting ahead of their other operations,
and they think it little too early to
set. Monday morning there was quite
fields to be frozen. - Cultivator.

There has been some inquiry for al
most all types of domestic cigar leaf,
and dealers report business as brisker
than for long time past. None of the
sales were for large quantities, and
were occasioned principally by manu-
facturers seeking stock for immediate
use.
freely even at the high prices that are
demanded. The manufacturers have
satisfied themselves that they will prob
ably do better now than later, as there
seems no likelihood that the late in

wider range of choice or reduce prices.

sales were a little here and there in
various parts of the county. The longer
they have the goods the better pleased
are the packers. AS rule they do not
hesitate to express the belief that they
have crop they think will make them
money.
While the weather was not favorable
for planting last week, fields in various
sections were planted, hut the general
setting out of the plants will not begin

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, May q, 1910.


There is so little effort now being
made to lift the remnants of last sea-
sons tobacco crop as to scarcely de-
serve mention in this column. An
occasional transaction however, is made
around former quotations or even less
figures. Some deliveries are yet COM
ing of crops previously weighed up and
settled for on the farms, and ware
house work is still hanging on at sew
eral packing points, though most of
the large operators have finished the
seasons pack.
The expected improvement in the
cured leaf market has not yet material
lied. The only transaction of moment
is the sale of a few hundred cases from
the Marqusee packing of '08 at James
vile to Philadelphia manufacturer.
c. O. Onsgard sold 33cs lot of '08.
Fine rains have fallen during the
week but the nights continue much too
cool to promote the desired rapid de-
velopment of the seed beds. The young
plants however, are reported as taking
good root and making headway with a
prospect of reaching proper size in
time for the usual transplanting.
The shipments out of storage reach
604 cases and 3 cars Of bundles from
this station to all points for the week.
Since last report 10 car loads have been
received for handling here.
