BALLtNGER
WIIHDRAWS
Will Leave County Election
Board.
LOW WILL SUCCEED.
Ballenger Says He is Still a Mem
Der of County Board, But
Will Quit.

For some little time past, the friends
of William H. Ballenger have been in
sisting that he was legally entitled tc
retain his seat as a member of the
County Board of Elections, and have
been urging that he continue to hold
same.
Mr.. Ballenger having moved his
family to Cape May, has settled the
question, however, in the following
letter which he has addressed to JOS
eph j. Low, of Greenwich.
Cape May, August 5, 1912.
Mr.. Joseph ]. Low,
Greenwich, N. J.
Dear Sir
The information has come to me
that you have been appointed, by the
Governor, member Of. tie umber-
land County Board ef4Elections. This
appointment is termed by some to be
for my unexpired term.
I am still member of said Board,
having received my appointment in
August, 1911, for the term of two
years.
In view of my business interests
here, however, and realizing it to be
best for all concerned that a member
OF the Election Board should be ac-
lively engaged within the county, to-
gether with a strong personal regard
for you, l have decided to withdraw
in your. favor.
My resignation goes to the Governor
by this mail.
Very truly yours,
w. H. BALLENGER.

LICENSES ARE
FALLING OFF

New Jersey, doubtless in large
measure because of the operations of
its new reciprocity law. which allows
out-of-State motorists toIbring their
cars into this State for itifteen days
free of charge. has fallen off in her
total of automobile registrations. From
third place among States a year ago
she has dropped back to seventh po-
sition. Up to July the total number
OF motor vehicles licensed I'M New Jer-
sey was 1852, which, in comparison
to her figures of last year, 1926,
seems to show that 5,62S cars belong
ing to non-residenrs, were not regis
tered in New Jersey this year.

JURY DID
NOT AGREE
Suit for a Part of Load of
Hay.
$40 THE DEMAND.
Six Man Jury Wrestled with the
Case for Some Time With
out Result.

A suit was tried in Justice Arthur
c. Mulford's court yesterday before a
six men jury in which Arthur Craig
represented the plaintiff and Roscoe c..
Ward represented the defendant.
The plaintiff was Robert Gilmour
and the defendant was William Stein
snyder, and the suit was to recover
$40, the balance claimed for a NOW of
hay bought Of the plaintiff last winter.
Mr.. Gilmour testified that Mr.. Stein
snyder and his father-in-law, Moses
Braunstein, came to his farm last
January and purchased a NOW of hay
from him the price of which was
agreed on at $65 Mr.. Gilmour al
legged that $25 was paid on the pur-
chase and the balance-$40, is still
unpaid, and he sues to recover it.
The defence was that at the time
of purchase. Mr.. Braunstein paid $40
on account, and shortly afterwards
Mr.. Gilmour called on Mr. Steinsnyder
and collected the balance, $25.
In rebuttal, Mr.. Gilmour said that
he called on Mr.. Steinsnyder shortly
after the sale and collected the first
payment $25, but that the $40 was still
unpaid.
The case was a plain case of one
against two, with the chances in favor
of the two. Mr.. Ward demanded a
non-suit, or verdict of no cause for
action, while Mr.. Craig demanded
verdict for the full amount of $40 with
costs.
The jury went out about noon and
spent several hours in deliberation.
They were wrestling with the case
until $40 o'clock last evening, failing
to reach an agreement. They were
then discharged by Justice Mulford.

FRANK |. |NGLES
DIES YESTERDAY

Frank L. Ingles died late yesterday
afternoon at the Bridgeton Hospital
following typhoid fever. The sad It'd
ings came as a great shock to AN en-
tire community which had been led to
hope that recovery was assured.
| A few weeks ago typhoid fever fast
ened upon Mr.. Ingles. 1t was felt that
it was a slight attack, and Mr.. Ingles
was removed to the Bridgeton Hospi-
tai for the very best treatment and
care possible to give him. AS the few
er ran lts course, there was no serious
apprehension until possibly a week
ago. Then there was relapse and Mr..
1ngfes' condition was very serious.
From this he revived somewhat, and
on Monday was doing nicely. Monday
night there was a change for the
worse and the patient sank into a
stupor. From this he did not rally,
and all yesterday his condition was
most alarming. Late in the afternoon
death followed. All of the family
were present when the end came.
! The death of Mr.. Ingles is not alone
a shock, but very generally regretted
The young man was a prominent
Bridgeton business man. He had
grown up in this community early in
life being engaged as florist at the
plant of Theodore Edwards. He mas
tered the profession in all of it's de-
tails and entered business for himself.
A few years since Mr.. Ingles estab-
lished flower shop and built up a
fourishing business. Progressive,
pleasing in address, courteous, Mr..
1ngles was popular gentleman, and
had the respect of the community. He
was member of Commerce Street M.
E. Church, and has long been active
in the choir. He was a member of
the Jr. o. U. A. NJ, Knights of Pythias,
Red Men, Odd Fellows and Patriotic
Sons of America. Mr.. Ingles was fore
most in the work of Calanthe Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, and was one of
the managers of the Calanthe choir.
Mr.. 1ngles married Jennie, daughter
OF the late E. D. G. Evans and Mrs.
Evans. William L. Evans is brother
in-law. One child survives.
Recently Mr.. Ingles gave a contract
for the erection of a handsome new
home and the residence is in course of
construction.
Bridgeton can ill afford to lose men
OF the stamp, the high character of
Frank L. Ingles. His life was all be-
fore him. He was just becoming
man of affairs, one of the men the
community needs in its progress and
development. To the stricken family
all people extend deepest sympathy.

and suggesting that those rights be
not disturbed by the proposed filtration
plant, was read and ordered placed on
file.
President Glaspell appointed Messrs.
Johnson, milford and Smalley, as a
committee to arrange for the tempor-
airy widening of the present bridge
structure across the Cohansey river,
in order that the debris from the old
nail mill, might be used for filling
purposes in building new road near
the water plant. On motion of Mr..
Mulford, the City Engineer was di-
rected to furnish grade lines for prop
berry street.
Upon motion of Mr.. Whipple, the
City Engineer was further directed to
make reports at the first stated meet
ing of City Council in each month,
covering work done in the month prev
ious.
The road roller came up for con-
siderable discussion, as to whether it
was an advantage for the city to own
one. The different members of coun-
Gil entertained different opinions in
regard to the efficiency of the roller,
and after some considerable discus
sion, it was finally agreed to have a
public demonstration Of the roller.
The commissioner of Streets and
Highways was directed to arrange for
such a demonstration and announce
ment of the date will be made later.

1t has been some years since there
has been an eating house or restaur-
ant on Commerce street. All those
establishments seem to locate on
Laurel street. Bert L. Bates has op-

doubtless be found an accommodation
to that section of the street.
