Some time ago there appeared in
Philadelphia paper an account of how
he milk dealers of Moorestown had con-
spired to raise the price of milk and the
suggestion was made that Prosecutor
Atkinson ought to take hold of the mat
ter and bring the dealers to their senses
by having them punished under the
seven sisters law" Mr.. Atkinson got
busy and sent his detectives out to
get evidence but it seemed to come M
slowly. The dealers, apparently were
on the lookout and were not given any
information. After awhile however,
the Prosecutor got what he was after and
he found that the acts for which it was
to bring punishment occurred
in 1912, before the ''seven sisters law
came into existence. 1t looks as if the
entire affair was the result OF the inn
agination of some extraordinary enter
prising newspaper reporter who had
possibly been drinking milk punches.
The township committee has been
petitioned by the legal number of tax
payers to haye a vote on proposition to

be authorized to issue bonds
to the amount of $35, 600 for macadamiz-
ing, graveling, telfording or otherwise
the following streets: Ridg-
way street from High street eastwardly
to Mount Holly avenue; Broad street
fir ON Mount Holly avenue eastwardly to
the Jacksonville road; Buttonwood street
from Union street northwardly to Ridg-
way street; Brainard street from High
street eastwardly to Paxson street; Water
street from High street westwardly to
King street, from the end of the cobble
paving on said Water street to the town.
ship line on said street; King street
from Water street southerly to Wash
ington street. The bonds are to be of
the denomination of $500, at At per cent.
interest, and to run for not more than
thirty years. This proposition should
receive hearty support as the streets
are in need of attention and
this is about as good away as any to get
the work done.
