To Editor of Wildwood JOURNAL:
Being a subscriber of your paper and
property owner, and n who is inter-
ested in the good and welfare Of our
city by the sea, I would like to make a
few remarks In reference to one Of our
townsmen, George Rogers.
| think there are few men that would
give their time and money to work for
the good of the city as he has done the
last few years. He has fought single
handed the Wildwood Water Company
against excessive charges, and on last
November at Trenton he was the only
man to fight against the Wildwood
Gas Company In reference to charging
ST. 70 for turning on and off gas during
the summer season. 1 write this to
show my appreciation Of what he has
done and | know there are others who
feel they have been benefited by his
labors.
Hoping you will give this letter some
space in your paper, l am,
Sincerely yours,
j. A. STIMMLER.

Who Can Answer This =.
To the Editor of the Journal,


Wild wood, N. j.
May l ask through the columns of
your newspaper whether the Chief of
Police, lately indicted and under $500
bail for keeping a gambling house and
receiving money from keepers of evil
resorts in this town has been suspended
from duty without pay, as is usual In
other towns, and who furnished the
cash bail for said officer, and the law
yers to defend him? Is it the Commits
sioners of Wildwood that are spending
the taxpayers money so freely that
there seems to be no limit In this town?
Why did they vote to give a colored
man in the Tenderloin $500 last week;
was it to keep him quiet, SO that he
would not squeal? Citizens of Wild
wood, these men will be soliciting your
votes in a short time; will you vote to
return these kind of men to administer
the law to the intelligent people of this
City i? 1t is a we'll known fact that
they uphold and even go to the courts
of law and give the dive keepers a good
character. No wonder Wildwood is
going to the Bow Vows.
Respectfully yours,
CITIZEN.

TURNINC-0N-GAS
CHARGE DENIED

TRENTON, Jan. 21.-Permission
has been formally denied by the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners to the
Wildwood Gas Company to impose a
charge Of 81 for turning on the gas of
each customer and an additional
charge for shutting off the supply. The
corporation proposed to discontinue its
minimum monthly charge of rs cents
If the new rates were permitted. The
Utility Board finds that the gas COM
psny has not shown the change to be
reasonable.
Three days notice must be given its
customers by the company when it in
tends to cut off their supply of gas.
This order was issued to-day by the
Board following a complaint by George
K. Hale. who had an apartment in
Wildwood. Hale moved into the place
a few days before the meter was read
and had used only As cents worth of
gas. The company made demand for
Its minimum rate of 20 cents, and
when Hale refused to pay employees
turned of the gas, which was being
used to cook food at the time. The
Utility Board considers as unreason-
able the company's rule to demand the
minimum rate for even short periods
OF use and holds that the charge should
be pro rata for the month.
The three days notice of intention to
cut off the supply will Re demanded.
The Board states that it is without
power to award reparation to Hale,
who wanted back his 80 cents paid un-
der protest and So cents for the food
which was spoiled when the gas was
shut off.
"Only the courts can award DAM
ages, " Is the comment dismissing that
part of the complaint.

Met Fifty Years Ago.

Mr.. P. D. Calhoun, of Harris
burg, and Mr.. Jacob Hatz, of
Lancaster, representing the w.
U. telegraph company, attended
the funeral of Thomas F. Sloan
last Friday. Fifty years ago Mr.
Hatz with a light gang of repair
men passed through McConnells-
burg inspecting the lines of the
Company. 1t was at that time
that Mr.. Sloan and Mr.. Hatz met
for the first time, and for the
last for while both remained in
the service, they never again
met. Just a few days before
Mr.. Sloan's death, he spoke to
his family of the time Mr.. Hatz
and his men were in McConnells-
burg. Mr.. Hatz remembered Mr.
Sloan very well. Mr.. Hatz is
now on the retired list on half
pay.

Take Notice, Motorists.

Judge Davis of Philadelphia
has just made a few very impor-
tant remarks on the subject of
what constitutes reasonable care
in the conduct of drivers of au-
tomobiles. In the case before
him a young man ran down and
killed a woman and the sentence
was one year in prison.
The driver explained that he
had lost control of the wheel and
that the car ran up on the side
walk and struck the woman be-
fore he could stop it. But the
judge pointed out that inability
of the driver to control the car
was not a mitigating circum-
stance, since he jeopardized the
lives of pedestrians by his igno-
rance.
Everybody who assumes 70 run
a motor-car does so at his own
risk. Even though proof of COM
petence and proficiency is not
exacted by the State as a prere-
quisite to license, the law pre-
sumes that the operator is quail
fed, and if he is not, he must be
to stand the consequent
ces of his acts. Ignorance of
how to run a machine is no more
excuse than ignorance of the law
itself.

Halliday us Weeks.

Charles, the sixteen-year-old
son of W. H. Truett, of Cham
bersburg, met with an accident
in the shops of the Melville
Woollen company last week which
necessitated the amputation of
all fingers on one hand except
the little finger. Part of the
thumb was also removed. Ac-
cording to the Workman's Com
pensation act, the lad will be en-
titled to half pay for 175 weeks
by the company in which the
Melville Woollen Mills are insur-
ed, with the exception of the
first fourteen days, during which
time he will be cared for by the
employers, under the act. The
injury is classed as permanent"
hence the liberal allowance which
is the same as for the loss of one
hand.

HEALTH AND TAXES.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF HsaIth.

Individual illness places a tax
upon the entire community. The
prolonged sickness of wage earn
ers is apt to result in poverty for
themselves and their families.
lndigency and crime itself are Of
ten lurking in the trail of dis
ease.
National efficiency must rest
upon the sound foundation Of
health. The reduction of sick
ness and death from preventabIe
disease should be the first step in
our preparation for self-defense.
Lord Beaconsfield said, "The pub
lie health is the foundation on
which reposes the happiness of
the people and the power of
country. The care of the public
health is the first duty of a states
man."
In some States in the Union
there has been an increasing per-
centage of dependents as they
have become more thickly popu-
lated. In addition to the enor-
nous losses from death due to
preventable disease when health
laws are enforced, there is a tre-
mendous annual expenditure ne
cessitated by this growing num-
Der of those who are unable to
bear their part in the worlds
work.
The insane, the feeble-minded
the consumptive and the pauper
are heavy burden upon the
tax payer.
Provisions and expenditures
which will aid in the reduction of
those things which sap the vital
ity of the Nation, will aid in pre-
venting the increased taxation
for the support of the growing
army of the unfit.

Hatch for Winter Eggs.

Taking it for granted that
proper winter quarters and feed
will be provided, the only other
secret" for winter egg produc-
tion is the age of the pullets. If
hatched too soon, they may lay
for a short time in early winter
and then moult. If Matched too
late, they will not mature before
winter. In our latitude, for Leg
horns, April 18th to May 1st is
right time to hatch the peeps.
Larger breeds, such as the Rocks

&c., should be hatched in March

James A. Stewart Reviews Congress.
iOual Action Toward United States
Going Into Road Building.


DEAR EDITOR. Kindly allow
space to tell your readers of good
things coming. The writer has
always thought that federal aid
should be given to build and main
tain post roads: but for some mar
row, stinted, and political rea-
sons, it has always heretofore
been refused. The good news
has at last come that a bill has
been introduced in Congress, call
ed the Shackelford bill, carrying
an appropriation of $25, 900, 900
to aid all the states to improve
their post roads, each state to
share the appropriation on the
basis of its population and the
number..of miles of these roads,
every dollar to be disbursed on
actual building and maintenance
of post roads, and not to be di-
verted to any other purpose.
Our congressman, B. K. Focht
informs the writer that the new
ShackelfOrd road bill passed the
House with but little opposition,
and that he is hopeful of its pas
sage by the Senate. Of course,
the present appropriation
if passed-will not 90 very far
in each state, but it will be grand
and glorious beginning, and sub
sequent appropriations will, in a
few years. make and maintain
all post roads in every, state.
Hon. B. X. Focht wrote: This
additional helpfulness from the
government would greatly stimu-
late road building and materially
aid quality and durability of con-
struction." He hopes this desir-
able piece of legislation will pass
at this session of Congress.
The government, and the peo-
pie of the United States expect
rapid delivery and collection of
mails, which can only be done by
making and maintaining good
roads so that carriers could use
automobiles and other rapid ways
of travel.
The Senate should have enough
public spirited and fair-minded
men to pass this important bill.
Hope all the citizens of Fulton
county will write our Senators,
Hon. Boise Penrose, and Hon.
Geo. T. Oliver, at Washington,
D. c., urging them to use all
their influence in getting this
bill passed at this session of Con-
gress. Every man will see its
great Importance if he will but
think OF the many miles of post
roads.
