serve Effect Of Headlight

Council met in regular session Mon
day night, Mayor Adams presiding,
Councilmen McAnney, Willis, Thomp-
son and Adams and Clerk Andrews
present.
A petition signed by twenty live
taxpayers requesting that an electric
arc light be placed on Washington
avenue between Doughty Road and
cemetery gate was received. Refer
red to Light Committee.
The Pleasantville Heat, Light &
Power Co. was rendered vote of
thanks for erecting an arc light in
front of the Fire House.
Ordinances Nos. lob, 156 and 157
were passed on final reading and will
be found in the advertising columns
of The Pleasantville Press.
Ordinance No. 154, requiring trolley
cars to dim their headlights when ap-
preaching automobiles or vehicles,
was read Upon request, Superin-
tendent Gale, of the Atlantic and
Suburban Railway Company, was
granted the floor. He asked Council
to reconsider the ordinance, giving
as his reason that he believed the
proposed ruling would be far more
dangerous than at present. He stat
ed that in the six years the company
has been operating here they have
had but one serious accident, and that
was when a motorman shut off the
headlight in meeting a team, causing
the driver to misjudge the location OF
the car, which struck the team, re-
sulting fatally. He said he really
feared the consequences should the
ordinance be passed. He admitted
that the glare of the headlight was
annoying to motorists but clearly
demonstrated that the effect of an au-
tomobile's headlights on the motor
man would be more disastrous than
that upon the auto driver, in the
event that something should appear
on the track while the light was off.
He invited the members of Council
to take a ride with him beside the
themselves the effects about which he
spoke. Council accepted the invita-
ton and held the ordinance over for
further consideration.

then the frst fugitive came in from

Notwithstanding the denouement.

NEW YORK MARKET
HAS DULL SESSION
Inactivity Attributed to the
Mexican Situation and the
Antitrust Legislation.

NEW YORK, June 5.-with no new
influences present to give incentive to
trading, the New York market this
morning dragged through a dull ses-
sion. American issues on the London
exchange were slightly lower than on
yesterday, but price levels on the local
exchange remained practically un-
changed. The inactivity was attributed
to the possibility of further complica-
tions in the Mexican situation and the
attitude assumed toward labor in the
antitrust Legislation.
A further depressing factor was
found in a threatened general strike of
employees of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company. More
than 5000 men and women employed at
tho company's East Pittsburgh plant
refused to go to work this morning.
Virginia-Carolina Chemical stock was
one Of the brightest spots in the stock
list, advancing early in the day 1$
Joints to 31&. Its strength was based
on the argument that the company is
now adequately financed as the result
of the sale of convertible bonds.
Under purely professional trading
the active leaders back and filled in
fractional limits without material gains
or losses.
