WHAT HAS BECOME OF
THE HOSPITAL PROJECT?

Editors Pleasantville Press:-
What has become of the Hospital
project? There is not a place in the
world where a hospital is more badly
needed than our own town. Being in
such close proximity to the largest re-
sort in the world and so many motor
lists going back and forth through our
town and over the boulevard, and ma
ny accidents bound to take place from
now on and throughout the summer
and fall, and probably many fever
cases, it's time something was done.
What has become of the soliciting
committee for the Hospital fund? If
they cannot or will not do the work
why don't they say so and let someone
else go ahead? Several weeks ago
one of our young men became very i'll,
and not having any home, although a
hard working, worthy citizen, he was
taken from his boarding place and
carried over to the Atlantic City Hos
pital, where the last was diagnosed as
typhoid fever. If we had been ready
with our Hospital, this citizen of ours
would have been saved a hard journey
and would have felt better to have
been near his boyhood home and
friends. The Atlantic City Hospital
authorities have ever been willing and
have always done everything in their
power to help take car of all patients
going over to them from "off Shore
but we ought not to expect them al
ways to do this for us, when we have
such a large town and so many veal
thy citizens-many of them now con-
tributing to the Atlantic CITY and
other Hospitals. This help would
probably be given to us if they saw
that we meant business. A towns
first duty is to its sick and distressed
and there isn't any reason in the
world why we cannot start a Hospital
even if on a small scale. So let's
push forward and get the Hospita.
ready before July 4th. For l am quite
sure there will be a few naughty boys
big and little, who will insist on cele-
brating in the usual way-burnt fin.
gers. etc., etc.

TO MEMBERS OF THE FIRST
WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB:

On our first meeting night in June,
"wednesday, June 2nd), the annual ell
ection of officers for the ensuing year
takes place. AS this is a matter OF
the utmost Importance to the future
of the Club, every member Is urgently
requested to be present. AS our BY
Laws provide that only members IN
good standing are entitled to vote at
the annual election, members three
months or more in arrears in their
dues are requested to make an early
settlement of same, so that every
member may be entitled to vote at
the approaching election of officers.
Many changes having recently taken
place in the affairs of the club, among
the more important being the merg-
ing of the two Ward organizations
into one general Republican Club to
be known as the Pleasantville Repub-
lican Club, the present administra-
ton of the First Ward Club is desir-
Gus of turning over to the incoming
officers (who will be elected from the
membership of the city at large), as
far as is possible, a clean slate, with
all bills paid and a WORKING balance
in the treasury. At the present time
the finances of the Club are very low,
but if every member will make a
special effort to square himself with
the books on or before the annual
meeting June 2nd) this desired re-
suit will be accomplished.
We are very DESTROYS that no men,
Der be dropped from the rolls for non
payment of dues, as it is our desire
to keep every member possible, but
the Club must have your financial
support in order to meet its obliga-
tons.
Will you not make an effort to pay
up your dues and be present on June
End?
By order of the Club,
w. w. WHITMAN,
Secretary

Where the Blame Belonged.

Many veterans can recall the pow
erful and persuasive e~loquence of Col
onel Morrow of Detroit when he was
calling for patriots to enlist in the
Civil war. just after the battle of
Fredericksburg a deserter was
brought before him. Nothing so
reused the colonel's indignation as a
willful desertion or cowardice, and he
turned on the weakened soldier in
a towering rage and said: what do
you mean by deserving your post in
the hour of your country's peril ?
Have you no feeling of patriotism +?
Why did you ever enlist if you are
such a coward?" "Well, colonel"
said the soldier, "if you want to know
I'll tell you why l enlisted. 1t was
that-speech of yours at Livonia."

AWARDED CONTRACT FOR
TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL.

After listening to vigorous protests
from the members from Mortified and
others against the erection of a tuber-
culosis hospital to be situated to the
rear of the county buildings at North
field, the Board of Freeholders at its
regular meeting on Wednesday decid-
ed bv a very close vote to continue
with their program and awarded the
contract to j. Mathis & Son at $751;
841.8 Is, for the building.
On condition that State aid can be
secured, the boulevard between Allan
tic City and Absecon will be construct
ed at once, ACCORDING to a resolution
which was passed unanimously BY the
Board. Should this aid be refused,
the building of the boulevard will be
delayed until the money is in hand.
Another motion was passed authoriz-
ing the County Engineer to make test
borings in order to prepare the speci-
fications for the necessary bridges.
The plans for the road and bridges
were approved bv the Board and will
be dispatched to the State Road Com
missioner for his approval. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of this project
will be about $250,000.
The possibility of securing about
$4,000 of state money from the Mo
tor Vehicle Fund within the near fu-
ture awakened the hope that the
Board may be able to pave the Pleas
antville Boulevard during the present
year.
The Board endorsed the proposed
bridge to span the Delaware and con-
meet Camden with PHILADELPHIA. and
will appropriate $4,000 towards a pre-
liminary survey.

HUBIN ON THE SEWERAGE
QUESTION IN PLEASANTVILLE

QUESTION IN PLEASANTVILLE
Editors Pleasantville Press
Since my last item in The Pleasant
vile Press and after sending out more
than a thousand post cards upon the
sewerage question, | have received a
large number of letters, all favoring
a sewerage system for P~leasantville.
| have also had some of the largest
taxpayers in Pleasantville call and
see me personally. They all say, Go
ahead, Hubin, Pleasantville needs a
sewerage system. Just as an exam
Pile: the New Leech Building, where
our new post office will be located;
Mr.. Leech cannot build on all his
ground because the law says a cess
pool must be % feet away from any
building. Look at Mr.. Leech's loss
in rentals, over $500 a year on ac-
count of no sewerage. Then again,
others, when they start to build, will
have to take the same course as Mr..
Leech. Then again, it will be much
cheaper now to install a sewerage
system than when streets are paved
and new sidewalks laid and other mu-
nicipal improvements that will short
w be made. Then again, consider the
foul odors that arise from the pres
ent cesspools. It's a disgrace to any
community. Sickness and disease and
sooner or later an epidemic is bound
to come from the lack of sewerage.
Then we may find US up against the
State Board of Health, who may place
a quarantine on city. We cannot
newcomers, who live in cities,
and towns where they have these san
itary conveniences to remain long IN
our city, when they run a chance OF
getting typhoid and other contagious
diseases from unhealthy surroundings.
Pleasantville must have sewerage
sooner or later, so why not start 1T at
once, and show the newcomers who
will come to Pleasantville to live and
their money and become good
citizens that Pleasantville is a pro-
gressive, wide awake, hustling and en-
city, with all the healthy
surroundings that will be found in all
progressive cities. What if taxes will
increase? We are all paying taxes
now and getting nothing in return for
them. l will pledge myself to work
for the interest of Pleasantville and
her citizens as hard in the future as
have in the past, for | want to see
Pleasantville grow bigger, greater and
more prosperous than ever.
