 Safeguarding Regulations for Towns
 and Cities
 The safeguarding regulations which should be considered and if approv- ed, adopted by the various local au-
 thorities themselves are as follows: CD The minimum width for main thoroughfares and the reservation of land necessary for the same.
 | CD Provision for narrow streets and | roadways of short length in many
 residential areas.
 (3) The establishment of building | districts defining zones for factories, dwellings, etc. with regard to use. and also the bulk (height and area) of | buildings allowable.
 (4) Provision for some systematic
 setting aside of open spaces for pub lie use in opnnection with the exten- sion of the town or city, just as streets
 are now usually set aside.
 (5) The approval of land sub-divi- sions by local public authorities.
 In connection with these safe
 guarding regulations, 1t should be es- tablished that properly would not be I deemed to be injurious1y affected by reason of provisions which prescribe l the minimum space necessary around
 buildings, their height, area, or char acter, or which limit the number of buildings to be erected in a given area. There should also be public power to purchase or appropriate land | necessary for these wider public pur-
 poses, including, when desirable, land within 200 feet of the boundary lines of any street, park, or other public property. Local Surveys and Local Plans | The town or city should have all the power necessary to make lsyste-
 matic local surveys, and to provide a general town or city plan, including the appropriation of the necessary funds, which, in view of the fact that
 such surveys are largely for the bene- fit of future generations, might, if 1t
 were deemed wise, be provided for by bond issues. While it should be not ed here that more than one-half of what is important for towns and cit ieS, especially the smaller ones, could be accomplished by regulations ip- volving practically no expense, nev- ertheless I believe that early plan- ming, at least general planning, is equally important, and in order that {. the regulations already referred to
 shall be wisely placed "a general plan based upon a local survey should be prepared as early as practicable. One need, then, of the smaller cities is for some method that would bring action on the part of the town or city early enough and of the right character so
 as to avoid unnecessary waste and i mistakes. The procedure would be simplified under a purely optional tween adjacent towns, city and coun- \ ty governments. These view sare pre-

The chief of police here has received
word from Chief Linderman, of Mer-
Granville to be on the lookout for a
colored woman sneak thief. She is de-
scribed as being about 25 years of age,
5 feet 2 inches high, weight ITO pounds,
high cheek bones, and chocolate COM
plexion. When operating in Merchant
vile she wore blue felt hat and fine
check suit. Her method of operation
was to sneak in the rear of the house
while the family was on the porch. If
caught, she had the excuse that she
was looking for Mrs. Nolan, washer
woman. She got away with about $500
worth of iewelry at Merchantville. The
next day she worked Moorestown, but
was dressed differently and wore no
hat.
Ike Harris was among the many
who attended the smoker at Wrights-
vile. Wednesday night, but unlike
some others, he had rather unpleas

ChatSWorth,

Miss Kites recent visit to our COM
munity possessed more than local
significance and it is to be assumed
that some more sensational articles are
brewing. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that some kind spirit pointed out our
new school house, since without a
guide it would be impossible for a
stranger to discover it at its present
location. An examination of that
building and consideration of what
it stands for implies progress and the
end of the old order.

Because the Civic League, Burling
toms most active improvement organi-
cation refused to lend support to a re-
vival of the once-fSmous local Hallow-
cen carnivals unless all saloons closed
during the celebration and because
promoters of the project declared it use
less to make such request, the city
will have no carnival this year. The
letter of the league, setting forth it's
position, has created sensation, but
has received the Endorsement, openly
or confidentially, of practically every
business man canvassed who was in
terested in former carnivals. That
such carnivals promoted to boom the
city prove a poor advertisement be
cause of drunkenness and rowdyism, is
the strong intimation of the league in
its letter to David B. Champion, vice
president of the disbanded Merchants
Halloween Association, who sought
the leagues aid in an effort to resurrect
the celebrations. Many merchants
have since admitted that they had
previously withdrawn their support for
practically the same reasons.
Mrs. Mary Wilson, who resides with
Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Fenton, on Law
renee street, is confined in the Eur
brugg hospital, Riverside, with brok-
en- rib, the result of fall on a board
walk in the yard at the place she was
residing. The family was getting
ready to move, had number of ar
ticles in the yard supposing that they
would be handy for the carter Satur-
day morning, and not knowing Mrs.
Wilson was to return home. Shortly
after eight o'clock she knocked at the
door and was told to go to the back
door. In walking to the step Mrs.
Wilson made short cut, but failed to
see sewage pipe which went into the
ground a short distance from the cor
ner of the house. In her haste she fell
over the pipe and landed on board
walk. With considerable difficulty
Mrs. Fenton aided her into the house
and summoned a physician. A hasty
examination was made and it was
found one if not two ribs were broken,
and owing to the advanced age of the
sufferer it is feared it will take some
time for the bone to knit.
The first wedding in the Jewish

The only prisoner to be brought b,
fore Judge Lippincott, Thursday, wa
William H. Walsh. He waived indict
ment and pleaded guilty to assault an
battery on Lincoln Johnson, a cor
ductor on the Pennsylvania railroad
On the previous Saturday evening"
| Walsh boarded a train at Birmine
nam, on his way to Pemberton. Fl
was quite drunk. The railroad EN-
ployes did not notice his condition
When he got on the train as he took
rear car. Had it been seen how in
toXlcated he was he would not hav,
peen allowed permission to board. TIT
! conductor went after the fare anC
iouhd the passenger did not have
either ticket or any money. A friend
OF Walsh paid the fare, the latter in.
slstlng the change be given him. John
son refused to do this, Walsh got ugly
and assaulted the conductor by. knock
ing the spectacles off his nose. When
/ Pemberton was reached it was neces.
sary to call help to eject the man from
the train. During the scuffie he bit
johnson on the arm, tearing the skin
in bad manner
Walsh has always borne good
character and William H. Holt, of
riverside, spoke of him in the highest
terms. The man drives a truck for
Holt and this is the first time that
there ever has been anything out of
the way with him. Mr.. Holt said he
was never more surprised than when it
was reported to him that Walsh had
been arrested. Walsh said he was %
years of age and that he had never in
dulged in Intoxicating liquor until six
weeks ago. On the afternoon in ques-
ton he had six drinks at Riverside,
then went to Burlington where he had
ten more. He did not remember any
thing more until he was arrested. He
said he did not have any recollection
OF ever seeing Johnson until he met
him in the court room Thursday. He
was quite penitent and promised to do
better in the future.
1t looked pretty bright for the young
man until prosecutor Kelsey suggested
that conductor Johnson come forward
and show his arm. He did so. After
removing large amount of bandages
The sore arm was shown and it certain
y was a good thing that the conductor
lad his coat on when he was bitten for |
'he wound inflicted was an ugly one.
While the physician who had charge
II Mr.. johnson had pronounced that
he wound was making quick recovery
Judge Lippincott could not see the
natter In very light vein. He felt
nat time should be taken to see if the
ecovery became complete. He felt
hat the attack was not warranted and |
uch actions are menace to the travel
ng public. He allowed Walsh to go
lone on bail, to report in two weeks.
Almond Volmar was to have
'een sentenced but the case was laid
ver until Thursday. Mr.. Moore,
of the Railway reform
tory, had written a letter to the court,
Volmar, who was recently
from that institution on pa
ole. There is some doubt about the
mans sanity and this will be inquired
nto. He will probably go back to the
lahway institution.

The Davis Divorce Case

Denying the allegations in the &c.,
900 alienation suit brought in the Su-
preme court by Howard Davis, of New
Egypt, his brother, Malcolm Davis,
last week asked that the litigation be
dismissed. Malcolm, who is wealthy
manufacturer in Philadelphia and re-
sides in the summer at Spring Lake, is
accused of alternating the affections of
Towards wife. In his answer he main
tains that it was the generally unfaith-
full conduct and abusive treatment ac-
corded her by Howard that caused her
love and devotion to wane. The Davis
have three sons, and the attitude of
the father is alleged to have been re-
sponsible for the loss of their respect,
as well as that of his mother, Mrs.
Kate Irving Davis. Howard is accused
of being the black sheep of the family
and is charged with immoral, ruffianly
conduct. Blackmail is declared to be
back of the litigation.
On the other hand Howard claims he
will make showdown when the case
comes to trial, and instead of being a
black sheep, he may prove himself
very white.
