"JITNEY" ORDINANCE
FINALLY REJECTED
Solicitor Ruled That 1t Had Not
Legally Been Adopted Killed
on New Introduction.

City Council met on Monday we
ming, Councilmen Willis, Anderson,
Adams, Schmidt, Blackman, Derr and
Sapp and Mayor Adams present.
The Mayors veto of the "Jitney"
ordinance was read and spread upon
the minutes.
The City Solicitor ruled that this
ordinance was not legally passed be-
cause. it did not receive a vote of the
majority of all the members of Coun-
ell on its first and second readings.
Mr.. Adams introduced the same or
dinance as a new one. Mr.. Blackman
moved to strike out the title of the
ordinance, which motion prevailed by
a vote of A to 8. Councilmen Ander-
son and Sapp Joined with Messrs.
Blackman and Derr in accomplishing
this result. This finally killed the or
dinance.
A petition was read requesting a
Hight to be placed at the intersection
of Belmont and Spruce AYES, Blen-
helm. Referred to the Light Commit
tee.
A resolution was passed that here
after no prisoner should be received
into the city jail unless arrested for
some violation of the law occurring
within the city limits, or at the time
of arrest he is a resident of Pleasant
vile. When a prisoner is committed
by any magistrate except the Police
Justice, the said Magistrate must
furnish proof that the prisoner comes
under the above requirements before
he will be received. This action was
taken because other municipalities
have been sending prisoners to our
city jail promiscuouslv and the mu-
inequalities have refused or failed to
pay for the board of such prisoners
and this expense has fallen upon
lPleasantville.
The Sewer Committee reported that
the City Solicitor had approved the
contracts with Remington & Vosbury,
for the preliminary sewerage work,
and that they have been executed.
Mr.. Adams reported that Absecon
Council will comply with Pleasant
ville's request concerning the lights on
California avenue.
The Light Committee reported the
arc light placed at Washington avenue
and Fourth street. This takes the
place of an incandescent light.
The Mayor called attention to the
necessity of placing some pipe on Ad-
ans avenue, which the street commit
tee will give attention.

Warden, and James A. Gilkey was
named in his stead.
