Mr.. and Mrs. S. R. Justice, Mrs. Caroline
Titus, Miss May Titus, Miss Ethel l..

Justice they were able to erect tents,
tables, etc. for conveniences. Mr.. STAN
ton served faithfully in touring the vii

The Flies Again Down the Spiders

Pedricktown Ball Park, Aug. 80, 1919
Sporting Editor Penns Grove RECORD.
Three notable incidents occurred on
the 18th of August, 1912. LIST. Our
Governor and next President opened his
speaking campaign at Williams Grove.
"a. Colonel ID. Stewart Craven our next
national representative from the LIST Con-
gressional District with Senator Davis
hobnobbed among the populace at our
harvest home. Sd great event but in no
wise the least was the final game of the
season between the Spiders and Flies. l
want to say as the Governor said about
the people of Pennsylvania and their
government. The character of the play
ers and character OF their playing were
utterly unlike.
Being the last game the Flies with q
clean record had themselves all tuned ND
to high G to retain that s~potless record.
The big Spiders looked on their oppo-
nents with disdain, like the giant Goliath
as he walked out upon the field of battle.
met his waterloo at the hands of the bow
David; who slew his big antagonist and
afterward became King. Just so with
the little Flies, they went out upon the
field without a sword or bowie knife.
The only visible weapon was a base ball
bat. but they were backed up by conf
dence which play half the game. They
backed this confidence up with a tip-toe
spryness in the field, and when thew got
on bases they dazzled most. They ratified
the Spiders pitcher so he had to leave
the knoll at the end OF the 9th inning
when the score stood IL to 7 in their
favor.
Every game this year between those
two teams has produced a hero, and YES
terday each team produced one. Lefty
Cunard for the Flies and Walt (Migget)
Strimple, who took the place of the Spid-
ers pitcher started a batting rally in the
9TH, which did not end until the score
was tied. There was several features of
the game that should be eliminated, and
we trust that before our next season
starts the rough spots will be smothered
out.
The umpire was away off. He was
selected by the Spiders and reversed his
decisions several times at their demand.
Then there was too much McGrawism
also with the Spiders. The Flies are
conversant with modern rules and the
Spiders kick on anything, and having a
plant Jump they have everything their
W way, yet aDnot win. There's a
reason. The score:

Borough Council

The fo~rtnightly meeting of the Mayor
and Council was held Tuesday evening.
All the members were present except H.
M. Flanagan. Mayor Sweeten presided.
A representative of the New Jersey Gas
Company, which bought Penns Grove
Gas Company some time ago, was present
and told the Council that the contract to
light the streets would soon expire. II
they wished the streets lighted the New
Jersey Company would do so on a five
year contract, all night and every night
lighting for $50 per lamp. Other towns
paid that and they had no other PROPOSE
ton to offer.
Solicitor ID. V. Summerill, Jr., read
the franchise ordinance and informed
the representative that the right therein
to lay pipes in the streets was that the
Penns Grove Gas Company would build
and operate a gas plant in Penns Grove
and furnish the Borough with street
lights on a moonlight schedule for $40 a
light with rs candle power and four
cubic feet of gas. The lights were light
ed then when it was not moonlight dur
ing the night and not for five nights
nearest full moon.
Notwithstanding the two yearly con-
tracts the past 6wo years for $25 per
light all night lighting except five nights
nearest full moon. the Council can re-
quire the Company to light the streets OIL
the original contract. Rather than pay
$50 for 10 lights it was the opinion Of the
Council that they would 60 back to the
original franchise contract.
The gentlemen was surprised, and soon
left to take news to the directing heads of
the New Jersey Gas Company in Phila-
delphia.
An ordinance granting a franchise to
the Penns Grove Electric Light, Heat
and Power Company was introduced and
read.

The Penns Grove Gas Company was
organized in 1904 and erected a plant
Oh Pitman Street. The capital stock was
$780, 600. Bonds were issued with which
the plant was built and the stock was
given as a bonus to those who bought
bonds. About a e ago the New Jer-
sey Gas Company bought the Penns
Grove plant, paying the stockholders 5
per cent bonds for the stock. That means
10 per cent. OH the $50, 600 cost of the
plant.
Since connections were made gas has
been supplied from the large plant at
Glassboro and the plant at Penns Grove
closed. The large plant at Glassboro was
erected by parties connected with the u.
G.. l. in Philadelphia, to supply all the
towns south of Camden. Beside the
capitalization of the local plants bought
the New Jersey Gas Co. is capitalized at
$1,000, 000. Notice was gwen recently to
have the capital increased to $40, 900, 600.
The gas is what is known as water gas.

Indians May Have Vote.

Santa Fe.-To test whether the Pu-
elob Indians are citizens OF New Mex
leo and have the right to vote, United
States Attorney Wilson has brought
suit in the Federal Court on behalf Of
Charles Kie, I.aguna Indian, who
was refused a vote at Gallup recently,
at the municipal election.
Should Kie win, It may result in New
Mexico getting two congressman under
the new apportionment, instead Of on
ly one, as the state lacked only few
hundred voters to be entitled to q Sec
ond congressman, and II the 5000 Pu-
eblo Indians are added to the popula-
tion considered in the apportionment,
it would be sufficient to give New
Mexico a second congressman.
