ROAD WORK IS
BEING PLANNED

Early efforts will be made to i'm
prove the highway between Lambert
vile city and Stockton borough,
through cooperation between the
Lambertville Merchants Association
and the citizens and township COM
mittee of Delaware, Samuel Risler,
the Good Roads" member of the
last named body having promised
his hearty support.
A section from the Pennington
Branch railroad north to Riverview
cemetery was improved by stone
covering, well rolled, and practically
as good as standard macadam, this
work being done by the Chamber of
Commerce in cooperation with the
township committee and various
other citizens. Later section from
the cemetery north to Ireland 'squarry
was filled up with strippings from
the quarries, but no stone dressing
was applied to the top, although it
is expected that this will be done
soon.
1t is now planned to make a big
day or days of it, giving it wide
publicity, and Mr.. Risler is confident
that the township will match dollar
for dollar any amount that may be
raised by donations and local sub
scriptions, and with free hauling it
will be possible to put the whole
road, through to Stockton, in good
condition in single day.
1t is expected that the railroad
siding, which now occupies portion
of the public road at its narrowest
point, will soon be moved back far
enough to clear the highway to the
legal width, and thus enable the
workers to make the whole road
good.
No serious trouble is anticipated
in securing teams, if enough ma.
terial and laborers can be provided
for the work. and most of the haul
would be short, none of it being 9
mile from the quarries.
The worst piece of road in this
section now is North Main street

omy. There are few dwellinge OF
larger size and better class of rent.
We have sought to impress upon
our people and the public that we
have excellent facilities, department
and small stores, both credit and for
cash; and it may be noted that in all
of these departments may be found
merchants who are doing a success
full business.
Our affiliation with the State
Chamber of Commerce gives us the
best opportunity to learn of the ac-
tivities and methods of other local
tiles. The annual meeting of the
Federation, of which we are members
will be held at Dix Haven June 16,
and in connection with this body
and the National Chamber of Com
merce the opportunities, if we are
ready to avail ourselves, are un-
limited for information and tn e
study of questions of Legislation and
civic Importance as they relate to
municipal improvement.
Through the efforts of this body
slight concession was obtained from
the Pennsylvania Railroad in the
time of early morning train.
There is now an opportunity offer
ed for us to take definite stand on
the question of commission govern
ment for our City.
1t is suggested that if it is desired
to make this organization effective
the small amount of dues should be
paid regularly, or a smaller number
of interested members would b e
better.
The committee on civic affairs
reported the placing of traffic signs
by the city, at the instigation of the
organization; and also reported the
improvement of the Lambertville-
Stockton road, upon which $7S.46
was expended, and balance of $43.-
81 is on hand to use for stone which
will be applied to it. This money
was donated, $50 of it coming from
the Standard Oil Company, and 500
from the Merchants association.
Treasurer j. M. Lambert reported
balance last year, $81.01; receipts,
$211; making total of $292.01,
against which there were expenses
of $143.79; leaving a balance of
$148.22. A total of $275 Exclusive
of stone given by Robert Montgom-
ery) was received and expended up
on the river road south of the city.

Postal Savings News.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an impor-
tant amendment to the Postal Saw
ings Act just approved by President
Wilson. A postal savings depositor
may now have an account amount
ing to $1,000 upon which interest
will be paid. Formerly $500 was
the maximum amount he could have
to his credit.
This enlargement of postal saw
ings facilities will be very gratifying
to thousands of depositors who have
already reached the old $500 limit
and are anxious to entrust more Of
their savings to Uncle Sam.
Another feature of the amend
ment that will avoid further embar-
rassment to the public and to postal
officials is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that could be
accepted from a depositor monthly.
Under the old law only 500 could
be deposited in a calendar month.
The amendment abolishes this re-
striction.
While the Postal Savings System
has already proved a signal success
as is shown by the fact that more
than half-a-million depositors have
over eighty million dollars standing
to their credit, still it has fallen
short Of meeting the full demands
of the public because of the restric-
tions which have now been elm
mated. Postmaster General Burle.
son and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockery have been tireless
in their efforts to secure a modifica
tion of the limitations and the new
liberalizing legislation is particularly
gratifying to them.
