President Glaspell allowed each bid
der three minutes to explain the mer-
its OF their respective hose, and when
the salesman had finished at the end
of nearly an hour, there was heaped
up on the desks about two bushe of
samples. The general sentiment of
the members of council is to procure
the very best hose possible for the
money, and at the same time assure a
maximum amount of safety in the fire
protection Of the city. With such
wide range of prices and so many
different samples, the award of con-
tract was postponed until the next
meeting of council.
Considerable time was occupied with
the Introduction and passage on two
readings, of the ordinance to appropri-
ate $1S,200 for the West Jersey Aca-
denny Tract, and following it the bond
ordinance covering same. The bonds
will be in denominations of $500 each,
bearing interest at four and one half
per cent, and are to be issued for a
term of thirty years, bearing date OF

fLAGRANT CASE
Of SHORT WEIGHT

One of the most fragrant cases of
violation of the law concerning
weights and measures, was discovered
a few days since by County Superin-
tendent of Weights and Measures
Charles H. Fort over in vineland.
In making his Investigations there,
superintendent Fort entered prom
inent lands avenue store kept by an
Italian. He found there what pur-
ported to be a combination quarter
and half peck measure. On N1s half
peck side was a false bottom9 fully
two inches from the proper bottom,
which permitted the half pack side OF
the measure contain but very little
more than the quarter peek side. Mr.
Fort Immediately confscated the meas
ure, brought it to Bridgeton and will
keep possession of it. So fragrant is
this particular violation of law, the in
tention being most pronounced, that
the Italian will be prosecuted and the
extent of the law will probably be
meted out to him.

IDEAL SPOT FOR
NORMAL SCHOOL
City Farm a Most Delightful
Spot.
MAKE MOVE FOR IT.
Commissioner Geo. A. Mirick Says
Race Farm lis Proper Place
For School.

Last week Hon. George A. Mirick,
Assistant State Commissioner of Pub
lie Education, was in Bridgeton, to
address the High School graduating
class. While here, during the day,
Mr.. Mirick was taken through the City
Park property. The City Park farm
was pointed out to Mr.. Mirick as the
site suggested last winter for Nor
NAL School as presented in bill
passed in the Assembly twice by Mr..
McAllister and each time lost in the
Senate by neglect.
Mr.. Mirick had no hesitancy in eX-
pressing his earnest endorsement of
the site and unqualifiedly declared he
knew of no place in the state more
admirably fitted for a site for Nor
NAL School He studied the situation
critically and became more enthused
as he noted all of the many advan-
tages.
Mr.. Mirick said that last winter,
when the McAllister bill was pending
before the legislature, there was free
ly circulated an impression that there
was no very great enthusiasm here
abouts for a State Normal School. In
fact the impression of the State Edu
cational office was to the effect that
Bridgeton was Indifferent concerning
the matter.
Mr.. Mirick advised that if Bridgstoa
moved for a State Normal School he
felt convinced that the state would To-
cate an institution here. The official
was certain that the people here would
| find that the school authorities would
be very favorable to the location of
a state school upon the City Park
farm.
Assemblyman McAllister is very
greatly interested in the Normal
School project, and if he is returned
to the Assembly by the people of Cum
berland County next winter, a bill
providing for such an institution will
be among the very first offered in the
legislature and he will make every
effort to have the measure become a
law.

INCREASING VALUES
OF PROPERTY

Values in real estate are increasing
all the while in the city of Bridgeton.
There have been a number of prop
erty changes recently and in every
instance the prices paid have been
larger than paid for years. Some of
the prices are record making All
kinds of properties from $4,000 to $4,000
are much in demand, and the keen
competition upon the the part of the
purchasers make the upward tendency
of prices assured. Some properties
sold during the past month have been
especially well sold.

REGISTER DOGS:
OR DODGE POLICE
Canvass of the City Now
Being Made.
ENFORCING ORDINANCE.
Public Safety Commissioner Hughes
Is Now Making a House to
House Canvass.

The provisions of an ordinance duly
passed by City Council, provides that
on the first day of June, any person
owning or harboring a dog upon the
premises must secure license from
the City Clerk, paying dollar there
fore or be liable to fine of S.. 1t
matters not whether the animal is per-
mitted to run at large or not, the Ii
cense fee must be paid. Any dog that
is upon the street, without the metal
license tag, is liable to be taken by
the dog catcher and to redeem the
animal, the owner must pay 81, in
default whereof, the animal is put to
death The loss of the dog does not
relieve the owner from paying the So
fine for not having secured regis
tration for the animal.
Nearly a month has elapsed since
the first of June. Yesterday Commis-
sioner of Public Safety George H.
Hughes, together with policeman w.
S. Betchner, began a house to house
canvass of the city and he will note
every dog that is found about any
premises. When this list is compared
with the registration list and any dog
is found to be without license, the
ordinance will be at once enforced
against the owner.
Last year there were nearly HOO
dogs registered in Bridgeton at $1!5O
each Thus far, this year, less than
200 licenses have been issued for dogs
at 81 each This indicates that there
will be a number of fines collected
shortly and after that the owner will
be obliged to take out a license

Baltimore, June 17.-Mayor Gay
nor's Presidential boom was formally
launched at dinner given at the EN-
erson tonight by Jacob A. Cantor and
William NJ Black. Plates were set for
fifty guests, Among the guests were
Democrats from all over the country,
including many delegates.
The Gaynor committee has issued
a pamphlet of twenty-three pages, pro-
fusely illustrated, giving the history
of the candidate.
Friends say that the New York dele
cation, uninstructed, will vote for
Gaynor and control the situation.
Leaders of the Clark boom admit
the strength of Gaynor backed by
New York, and those who have as
their motto Preston for Vice-Presi-
dent at any cost" are laying plans
to hitch Mayor Prestons wagon to

The second stated meeting OF City
Council was held last evening, and
the members remained until a late
hour, in order to dispose of the vast
amount of business brought before
them.
Most important of which was the
appropriation ordinance for the bond
issue of $1S,20O, with which to pur-
chase the West Jersey Academy Tract,
and the very voluminous ordinance
which follows it in sequence, providing
the form of bond, etc., covering this
issue
When President Glaspelk sounded
the gavel calling the council to order,
every member responded to the call
of the roll, and there were also assem-
| bled number of representatives of
concerns interested in the opening of
| bids for fire hose.
Building applications were granted
| for three new dwelling houses, and
also to several applicants to make
repairs to existing structures.
Corporation Counsel, j.. Brodie INC
Gear, rendered an opinion to the effect
that Grosscup & Sons, were not entit-
| led to tax or water rent exemption
| under the meaning of ordinance No.
201. The opinion states that after in
| vestigation, he finds the firm engaged
hin general contracting and building
| business, but not a manufacturing
concern as defined by the ordinance or
| it's intent, and recommended that the
| application be refused The opinion
was received and ordered placed on
| file, and the Clerk was directed to so
| inform the applicants.
The Board of School Estimates GER
titled to the city the amount necessary
to be raised for school purposes, fix
ing it at $29,963.69. The certificate
was received and ordered to be spread
| upon the record.
| Commissioner of Public Safety,
| George H. Hughes, reported thirty-one
calls in the police department since
| the last meeting of council. Four of
these were persons arrested and fined
| for not carrying lights on wagons, six
| drunks and number of family scraps.
| The commissioner also requests an
Investigation into the water supply, in
| North Bridgeton, and calls attention
to the number of factory buildings and
residence properties which would be
| effected by a serious blaze and with
an inadequate water supply.
Commissioner of Public Works, Tim
othy Woodruff reported the general
details of his very business depart
ment With the water filtration plant
under construction and the necessary
piping connections, the water depart
ment is rushed with work.

casional desertion case The winter
months are the rush months in this
