PLEASANTVILLE LOSES A
FINE STORE BY NOT HAVING
PROPER SEWERAGE.

The following letter speaks for it.
self. The big syndicate that had a
10-year option on Hubin's Theatre
building and that would give employ
ment all the year round to a great
many and would be q credit to our
city, will not locate here on account
list. 1t also stops Mr.. Hubin from
making the big improvement on his
property, a large store on the ground
floor, offices on the second floor, and
apartments on the third floor, as the
State law will not permit these i'm
provements on account of no sewer
age in Pleasantville. Now, if our
citizens want to see new corners To-
Gated here they must get together at
once for an u%p-to-date sewerage sys-
TEN. The letter:
New York City, N. Y,
Oct. 9Th, 1915.
Mr.. Frank B. Hubin, Owner,
Hubin's Theatre Building,
Pleasantville, New Jersey.
Dear SIR
The matter of leasing your Theatre
Building and making the necessary
alterations to meet the requirements
of one of our syndicate stores has
been placed before our Board of Di-
rectors; all details were carefully con-
sidered, and we could readily see in
P~leasantville a fine opening for one
of our large stores, but with one seri-
Gus drawback, and until that is reme-
died, we could not consider leasing
your Theatre Building.
The sanitary conditions in your city
very bad, and as we employ from
twenty to twenty-five help all the
year round, with a doubling of our
forces for the holidays, the lack Of
proper sewerage would keep a foul
odor in our store, and would %endanger
the health of our employees, and
or later cause an epidemic am
ong our working forces.
Kindly keep us posted, and when
your city gets a sewerage system, as
you claim they will, we will take the
matter up with you.
Respectfully yours,
CHAS. j. GORMAN.

LORD NORBURY TN OVERALLS POPULAR
 AMONG WORKMEN
Says Manual Labor Is Coming Out 'STop Hole''-Expects @
 To Save Money.

London. July 9.-One of the latest and most popular recruits in the ranks of those who are doing omethtng for their country during the var has ap- peared in the person of Lord Norbury, now turned the 50 years of age mark. He commenced his self-frap task recently in the fitting shop of an aero plane works att1red in a coarse blue calico Sxnock and cloth cap. Nearby the works in a small lodge occupied by a. butler, Lord Norbury has engaged a little sinpIe-furnished bedroom and is doing his own valetng. The butler says His Lordshtp is paying work mans rent, and Is taking his meals with the other worSmen in the gen eral canteen. His Lordshfp had, put in a few hours work and was sitting with the er-breakfast. crowd in the canteen before being recognized by a b1ue-suited laborer who then came over and spoke to him How do you do, old chap, glad to meet you, said the wor&man, putting out his hand which the peer cordially shook. An other workman was heard to remark: q guess he's good enough and we will put him flying to a thing or two if he only shows half an eyes''
 At the close of his days work-6 a. m. to s p. m.-Lord Norbury seemed we'll content with his first efforts as a 1ajborer. Things are turned out top ho1e',' he said. ''Tt Is really very en- joyable and there is something noble in all manual work. I am not at all fattgued; .am used to hard work and do not feel a bit tired The other fel- lows are quite 'pal1y' and ready to do me a good turn any moment Lord 1 Norbury's work was we'll approved by the old hands at the works. s'He Is pretty handy they said. 'EIe will be all right before long; you don't want to tell him @ thing twice, and he is 4 quite a sport, too.'' "Nobby'' Is the nickname for His Lordshtp amongst 1 his fellow workmen.
 Lord Norbury says he is to be just an ordinary workman, expecting and receiving no preferential treatment. Asked if he would be able to live on his wages, he replied: ffRather! l hope to save. Why, shall be a rich man sho4'tly-wIth 54 hours g. week,
 overtime, and bonus. No leisure time, D
 he said, laughing. ttJ1-~t bed and work
 Yes, T am happy to be doing some
 thing" said His Lo1 dship, however
 small and negligible. Tn these days the subjects duty is the nations, and if there is one supreme and urgent necessity 1t is that every n4n, woman
 and child should bend all efforts to the only great taskNthe subjugation and conquest of our enemy. By all means let us have national register; let us
 have universal service; but do let Us have something quickly, at once, some thing chosen advised1y and not hap Ehazardl something, in fine, for all.''

BOAT KEEPER AT CARTER
LAKE HAS REAL BOOSTER

There's tricks 10 all trades. the ole
timers say, hut who'd ever think that
tow-headed keeper OF boats for hire or
Carter lake could have aught but tht
weather man to coniure for him7
All day long, under the shelter OF g
clumb OF trees, sits a man In boat
pulling out two-pounders every five min
utes. Occasionally he rows back to the
boat house for more bait. and there h'
accidentally exhibits his thus far
string and causes a mad rush for boats
bait and poles
The string Of fish is a mere Theatrical
prop" and the filmed beauties that hC
pulls out regularly are not hooked. bu
tied on.
One fellow yesterday wore part OF hii
jaw away repeating " Sunny / can
ketch 'em a tall. an that Teller there's
pullin en- in regular'n clockworks. Il
beats me, brother. it beats mel" And
about that time the "shill" woult
catch another fish, and the surround
ing flock OF envlous fishermen woulC
sigh and try II again for awhile.
