MOVING BIG
SAFETY VAULT

The new building of the Cumber-
land Trust Company, now building at
Commerce and Pearl streets, is to be
provided with two modern, fire proof
and burglar proof, time lock steel
vaults. An entirely new one, especi-
ally designed for the Trust Company
by the York Safe and Lock Company,
has been placed, and now workmen
are engaged in removing from the
present building in the big steel vault.
and this is a tremendous job. To get
out the steel construction from the
building, the west window of the
building has been taken out in its en-
tirety. The construction is very heavy
and slow to move.

plans. 1t was a debatable question,
Mr.. Bacon said, as to the method of
solving the problem. The primary
object was to get greater water pres
sure, but his notion was that what
was really wanted, was more water
at the point where there should be
sudden demand for it. Mr.. Bacon de-
clared that If you get the right plan
and get the necessary water in an
emergency, the people will pay the
bill willingly. Mr.. Bacon assured
Council that the Commercial League
would give every possible assistance.
Mr.. Bacon's remarks were supple
mented by Messrs. Hankins Loder
and Mulford, in order.
After some discussion Council ar
ranged with the Commercial League
to have public discussion before the

BODY NOT
RECOVERED

The body of Andrew Chew the un-
fortunate man recently drowned from
the oyster schooner in Long Reach,
Bivalve, has not yet been found. For
days the body was grappled for, but
it was evident that the bottom at this
point is covered over with snags and
timbers of sunken vessels, and it is
thought the clothing on the body may
have caught to some of these and
held.
On Saturday last the crew of the
boat from which the drowning oc-
CURED, used considerable dynamite
in blasting the bottom in hope that
the body might be loosened, but the
effort proved futile.
1t would be a great satisfaction to
the family Of the deceased if the body
can be recovered, and a proper burial
given it.

At the suggestion of the President,
City Council authorized the County
Sealer of Weights and Measures to
use the weights of the city in local
work.
An emergency resolution was passed
authorizing the payment of bills
charged for poor and relief from the

fund having been exhausted.
A representative of a manufactur-

ton looking to buying it.
Chairman Hettinger, of the Water
Committee, announced that he thought
it would be well to have the water
problem discussed by the public at a
meeting of the Bridgeton Commercial
League. He called attention to the
presence of President Walter H. Ba-
can, Vice-President Harry H. Hankins
Secretary Leroy w. Loder and treas
urer William c. Milford, of the
League.
Walter H. Bacon suggested that i'm
mediately after the destruction of the
Wesley Memorial M. e. Church, by
fire, the League went on record to pc
tition City Council to provide for the
city an adequate supply of water for
fire fighting. Mr.. Bacon urged that
Council had no more important pub
lie duty than the solving of the pres
ent duty. There was an ample sup
ply of water provided here, but the
difficulty was that there had not been
provided sufficient facilities for get
ting the water to various parts of the
city when needed. Mr. Bacon said that
1t had long been known that this con
dltion existed but previous City Coun-
ellis had not had the time or the cour
age to take up the matter. This
Council had the courage to consider
the matter and were working upon

EXAMINATIONS.
The Teachers Have Received Their
Marks, and Pupils Are Now
Preparing.

The marks for the State Teachers
examinations given in the Bank st.
High School early In November have
just been sent out from the county
superintendent, ]. j. Unger's office.
These marks have been anxiously
looked forward to by the teachers.
Some of the examinations were es-
pecially difficult this time and there
were quite a number of the teachers
of the county who were so unfortu-
nate as not to get through. In most
cases, however, this will not effect
them as teaching goes, for they were
keeping ahead of the game and taking
the examinations necessary for them
to use on their certificates at a future
time. Practically everyone who had
really to have the credits at the pres
ent time was fortunate enough to be
successful. The next examinations
come in April and some of the teach
ers have already begun to prepare for
them.

CITY HALL
XMAS TREE

The Municipal Christmas tree at
City Hall is some tree: In fact, it is
quite the most pretentious tree that
has ever been raised for community
tree anywhere. 1t is a splendid speci-
men of spruce pine, and rears it's top
far over the highest point of the City
Hall building. The tree has been set
with its base directly upon the con-
crete walk in front of the porch at
the entrance of the hail. The height
of the spruce is fully forty feet. with
base exceeding a foot in length. The
great, wide spreading branches, droop-
ing gracefully under their own weight
with the great cones attached.
The tree was cut down yesterday
from the farm of Mrs. Emma Obel-
doble who generously contributed it,
and carted to the City Hall, where a
gang Of men, with block and tackle,
under direction of Clayton McPher-
son, put 1t up. The tree has been
strongly guyed and is perfectly safe.
AT the very top o fthe tree is a large
star studded with electric lamps.
There will be three hundred lamps
placed on the tree, and there will be
an elaborate decoration upon the
building, making a back ground for
the brilliantly lighted tree.
The tree will be all ready for Christ
mas eve, when the exercises will be
enjoyed by the community.
