LOWER MERTON CALLED
MODEL BY ROOSEVELT
Colonel Praises Method by Which Com
munity Obtained New Railroad
Station From P. r. R.

The community of Merton can stand as
a model in civic matters, according to
Colonel Roosevelt. While discussing COM
munity service, the Colonel recently said
that the work accomplished by the Merton
Civic Association was a striking example
of what could be accomplished by public
spirited wIdeawake citizens.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was referring t.
the way in which Merton obtained a hand
some new railroad station For years vir-
tuaily all the communities OF the Main
Line have been asking the Pennsylvania
Railroad for new stations, but in vain.
Little Merton, however, was able to get
$4,000 station and a postottice In the
bargain, This was accomplished as fol-
lows:
Men Of Merton first did things them
selves They spent 10000 in three years
for roads, lights trees and many forms of
improvements. All this in addition to the
regular taxes. They made Merton look so
fine that the station grew shabbier and
shabbier by comparison,
The work accomplished Merton men then
went 10 the Pennsylvania Railroad after
a new station. II was explained that the
railroad could not afford to lag behind
where the community was going ahead at
such a lively pace.
Railroad officials at first said they could
not afford TO give Merton a station and not
follow suit at Oyerbrook, Narberth, Ard
more and Haverford. TO which Edward Box
and the Merton Civic Association replied:
Have they done what we have done?
When they do, give them station"
