OIL is NEEDED ON
PLEASANTvILLE STREETS

There are certain memories that cling
i'll disagreeable fashion i'll spite OF
efforts to Danish them. And not with
out reason. Dwellers along Shore Road
as well as Washington avenue, cough
whenever they think of the clouds OF
dust that they have been i'll former
years compelled to swallow. They al
ways had the dust even if it was un-
welcome and it was a hard matter to
dodge swallowing it, maybe not all that
was raised, but the only reason that
existed for this was the limited capacity
some people are inflicted with
Unless the people make themselves
heard i'll unmistable tones they will be
choking down the ground up mud of the
winter this year-that is, if they are
not too full Of last years deposits to
hold any more. Indeed, they may con
gratulate themselves ii their outlets are
overllowing, for while last years dirt
vas bad enough, yellow conditions this
year Indicate that the word dust will be
inadequate.
HE subject of this borough buying
Il Watering cart was introduced to the
counclnen at one time. They prompt
ly vetoed the suggestion and the peo-
pie have ground tLem teeth in dust
ever since.
Mayor Crawford is favorable to
,ttlement OF the dust and will assist
the man who settles on the solution of
providing means to keep it down.
The Suburban's superintendent, Mr..
Gale, is ready to give an ear to sugges-
tions and hopes that definite action
will be taken by the councilmen
Water is a good dust settler if the
applications are not too far apart As
phaltum oil is the most reliable article
known at present, and too, everything
considered, the most economical Tren-

A CLOSE CALL

A terrible woods fire accrrred last
Saturday morning before noon, during
the great gale of easterfy wind, over
the west side of the Frazier tract 1t
is not known how it was started nor did
any one know how it could be stopped
Although party of picnicers from
Ocean City made a hasty getaway
leaving four silver spoons about where
the flames got busy. The sound of tue
flames as they swept along was akin
to that of an express train going by.
Really terrifying to the women and
children who ventured out to witness the
fire. 1T was not long before every avail
able man in the city was out there with
4 shovel, an AK or hugh brush. The
low brush fed the creeping flames as
they eat their way against the high
wind, but by judicious back firing much
further damage was stopped. There was
10 means of stopping the onrush of the
great fire, that swept along into the
Patconk creek, and the damp salt mead
ows bordering it. 1t is estimated several

mechanics would receive steady employ
ment for a major portion OF the twelve
months is enough to set ones face al
Il laughing angle, and cause the local
business men to rush pell nell into the
world s markets for the best that they
can afford.
An arrangement of similar nature
is not local impossibility. 1t is one
that can be made feasible anywhere pro-
vided the acumen is in the atmosphere
We have sufficient incentive, but we uo
lack the spirit that reaches beyond the
immediate prospect of remuneration.
Anything that can be done elsewhere
can be repeated at home, but not with
out throwing aside love of ease and gain
without effort.
There is one more paragraph in the
above article that should stir our
thoughts to renewed action, it is that
one which refers to the plan of securing
added force to the board of trade. Then,
too, there is another and final advan-
tage to be learned from that town OF
Washngton-e each of three hundred
members is the contributor of an in
linitesimal sum of twenty five cents Il
mouth; or, to be exact, one cent for
each working day. What grand total
this small sum will reach in a year and
what backbone will be given the mem
bers to continue their efforts to build
up Washington's industries. Working
capital is essential to every civic organ
i1ation. and this element was indeed
lacking i'll the local board of trade.
Pleasantville is more thaneve l. the
center of all eyes. 1t is not too much
to say that no other town i'll South
Jersey occupies spot of ground so
greatly favored and, while the town
has suffered of misdoings, misdeeds and
for the want of doing anything at all,
it is not at all out of order to again
plead for a Long pull, strong pull,
and pull all together"

A fire of unknown origin started early
Saturday morning in the wooded sec
ton westward of Lily Lake at Ocean
vile. Famed by the northeast wind
the fire rapidly ate its way toward
Abseeon Highlands and the residents
there were alarmed for a time, as the
impending danger, growing more acute
each minute, threatened total devasta-
ton. Many acres of fine timberland
were reduced to aches before the flames
reached the Pennsylvania railroad tracks
when the ferocity was somewhat redue-
ed. 1t was burning at lively pace late
Saturday night but the early Sunday
morning rain quenched its desire for more
fuel Despite the fact that many homes
and the valuable cedar swamp belonging
to Mr. Joseph Alexander seemed in is
direct course, both escaped.
