Pleasantville may have one of j. w
Risley's big laundries. Mayor Crsw-
ford and every souncilmen promised
their assistance Monday evening When
Mr. Risley appeared before them ana
asked that he shall be relieved of taxa
tion and given the privilege of making
sewer connections between the old dol
factory and bear swamp. The question
of relieving Mr.. Risley of taxes has been
referred to solicitor Higbee, who has
not yet given his opinion. Mayor Craw
ford replied to Mr.. Risley's other request
by stating that he had sufficient interest
in the matter to interview the State
Board of Health officials, and they had
told him that it is Mr.. Risley's duty to
have plans and specifications for the
sewer drawn and then submit the papers
to the department. An opinion will soon
follow. Mr.. Risley promised to follow
the suggestion at once.
In the course of Mr.. Risley's talk with
the councilmen he said that he believes
| in the ultimate success of his plans, but
he did take occasion to express one fear
THAT he may be unable to secure sufficient
labor in the laundry. Eight or ten fam
lilies have been working for him fo
tyears and these will follow him to Pleas

$4,000 will be spent in remodeling tht
