Charges of Law Violations
Made and Revocation De-
manded by TownSfolk
COURT TO FIX
DAY FOR HEARING

PENNSGROVE. n. j., Sept. 90
Papers have been served upon Colonel
'Joseph G. French. proprietor of
French's Hotel, to show cause why
his license should not be revoked.
The summons is returnable at the
opening of the fall term of the Salem
county courts tomorrow morning. at
which time a date for the hearing
viii be set. The papers we're served
by Deputy Sheriff Oakford W. Banks.
and II is said that ex-Pr,osecutOr
j. forman Sinnickson was at once
engaged to look after Colonel French's
interests. The action was brought
by the citizens of Pennsgrove. and
they will be represented by Solicitor
). Rushing Leap. The summons con-
tanned five or six typewriter pages
OF names and oates alleging violation
of the law.
For several weeks detectives have
been at work on the case. and be-
cause of the many hundreds of peo-
pie that have come into the borough
il had been very easy work for them
TO gather evidence. In 1908 a remon-
STRANGE was filed against the hotel
by citizens of this borough. led bv
the Rev J. Ward Gamble then pastor
OF one of the Methodist churches here,
but there was not sufficient evidence
at that time to warrant Judge Glenn
ent II. Sinnickson in sustaining IL.
Since the boom at Pennsgrove the
courts have been busy as never be-
fore, principally with cases of drunken
and disorderly persons. It is known
that efforts have been made to get
possession of the hotel property by
out-of-town capitalists. and papers
have been drawn, but as yet the sale
has not been consummated. The fl-
ing of the papers upon Colonel
French will no doubt delay matters
still further. It is the only licensed
place in Pennsgrove.

MILFORD. Del, Sept. 2O-The
Board of Education has completed a
very good job Of financing, and got
ten the full value for the money
they expended to build the new two
story brick addition to the grammar
school building. The architect. when
spoken to about the cost Of the struc-
ture of ample capacity to accommo-
date the new departments needed,
gave as a conservative estimate
$4,000 as the cost of the building
alone. The Board Of Education could
not see their way clear to expend
that amount of money from the gen
eral funds. and realizing that some
thing had to be done they started to
investigate what was possible. The
board as a committee of the whole,
looked into the costs of material,
found out what the labor would cost
per day, and then made close esti-
mates themselves with a competent
builder making the estimates for the
material. They finally decided TO
buy the materials and employ the
builder with his force Of men to work
by the day and the result is that
they have built the two-story brick
addition for less than $4,000 They
have in addition to the new building.
