ALL SEWERAGE BIDS
REJECTED BY COUNCIL
At Special Session Monday Night They
Conclude Trait All Bids Are Too
High for City at Present.
OPEN NEW BIDS NOVEMBER ~.

City Council met in special session
Monday night to act upon the bids for
sewerage construction, which had been
opened at the regular meeting of Coun-
Gil On Monday of last week, and which
had been submitted to the engineers
for tabulation. Present were Council
men James, Adams, Anderson, Derr
and Meloney.
Engineer Vosbury, of the finn of
Remington & Vosbury, made a report
of the result of the tabulation of bids
which showed Martin, Miller & Pizzi-
menti, of Pitman, TO be the lowest bid
ders for the whole work. The cost
aggregated about 100000. Two other
bids on separate items were lower than
that of the Pitman firm.
The above amount is $4,000 more
than the city had expected to pay for
the system and Engineer Vosbury NAM
ed several alterations in the plans
whereby the cos might be reduced to
the allotted amount. After a lengthy
discussion of the project the Sewer
Committee went into a private confer
ence, following which a resolution vas
passed that all the bids be rejected,
new plans drawn with changes to re-
duce the cost, and bids again adver-
tised for upon the altered plans.
Bids will be opened again at a spec
ial session of Council ON Monday eve
ming, November II.

LARGE CROWD ASSEMBLED
IN VERY NOVEL MANNER

Probably the most novel, and effec-
tive, method of getting a big crowd
together in the interest of making a
drive to sell Liberty Bonds was put
into effect in P~leasantville last Tues
day night. Those in the secret gath
cred together a great quantity of
brush and old railroad ties and started
a big bonfire. When the flames had
gotten a good Roadway someone
sounded a fire alarm and the fire COM
pany responded with a rush. The fire
whistles were blown and the fire alarm
bells changed, and it took but a com
paratively few minutes before almost
the entire populace had congregated
at the scene of the "confiagration."
When the crowd was greatest the
Pleasantville Band appeared on the
scene and struck up a martial air. and
DR.. H. l.. Harley, who was the chair
man of the affair, announced that the
FIRE" had been started in order to
get the people together for the pur-
pose of listening to speakers who
would present the Liberty Bond mat
ter. He then introduced in turn Rev.
Robert Arthur Elwood, of Absecon;
DR.. Underwood Cochran. of Atlantic
City, and H. Walter Gill, Esq, of At
lantic City.
II the parade which preceded the
addresses the Red Cross Society and
other organizations displayed credit
able patriotic floats. Rollin A. Gale
conceived the idea of getting the peo-
pie together by the use of the fire
ruse, and it worked out admirably.

CONSIDERABLE COMPLAINT
AGAINST DELIVERY SYSTEM

Considerable complaint is heard con-
corning the new rural route recently
established by the Postoffice Depart
ment. This route does away with the
routes heretofore starting from the
Linwood and Absecon pOstoffices, and
is supposed to leave the Atlantic City
office at 7.30 a. m. daily except Sun
day. There are patrons of the route
living within the limits of Pleasant
vile who are dissatisfied, claiming that
they signed the application for the ser
vice under a misrepresentation n are
already interested in securing sigma
lures to a protest to be forwarded the
authorities in Washington. 1t is said
that patrons along the route have been
called out of their beds between 10
o'clock p. m. and midnight to receive
their mail. The receipts from the
route are credited to the Atlantic City
postoffice, and this patronage taken
from the mainland offices affected is
greatly Gripping them and will I'M
doubtedly result in their being closed
in some instances.

SELWYN G. co.'s NEW
FARCE LOSING ELoISE.'

Losing Eloise," a new farce by
Fred Jackson, will be presented by
Selwyn and Company at Nixon's Apol-
10 Theatre. Nov. l. 2 and 8. The IN
nouncement is of more than ordinary
Importance, bringing as it does the
firm of Selwyn and Company back into
the field of farce. AS producers of
Twin Beds" and Far and Warmer"
they set a standard for this style of
theatrical entertainment that has sell
dom been approached and never ex-
celled. Now that they themselves are
again to produce a farce, there is high
hope for theatre-goers who look to the
stage for entertainment solely.
Fred Jackson already has one of the
few really great farces the American
stage has ever had to offer to his
credit in "a Full House., produced
some years ago. With Losing Eloise"
he believes he has outdone his former
effort.
Far too frequently. the history of
farces produced in America has been
a record of failures, more because of
carelessness in their production AND
casting than from any other reason.
Losing Eloise'' will have neither
fault. The company engaged by Sci
wyn and Company, which includes
Charles Cherry, Lucille Watson, Fran
els Byrne, Ethel Dane and a number
of others of reputation as f%arceurs,
insures the quality of the acting per
Torrance and the production under
the personal direction of Edgar Sell
wyn has been made with the greatest
care and with an eye to presenting a
perfect stage setting for the develop
ing of the story.
