Your Gas Bill

Of course you got one. How did it
suit you? Was it more or less than
for the previous month? We got two
-one for the Office, the other for the
house. The former was SO cents for
the month ending September 81; for
the month ending October 25 it was
$l.17. That for the house for Septem-
Der was $3.50; for October, $5.04. The
agent who presented the bill suggested
that lamps have been lighted earlier
since the 25th of September, which
would account for the difference. But
he did not take into consideration
that during the month of August gas
was used TO light, cook, iron and heat
water. Water for the weeks wash and
for the bathtub was heated by gas.
Gas jets now blow SO that you have
to turn the supply off to half in order
to stop the noise made by the escaping
air that is not being burned but is. 60
ing through the meter with strict regu-
larity. A gas jet in the cellar at the
home, il turned on anywhere near full
blows so that it is a nuisance and if
you cut off the noise you do not get
any light to speak of. One house
holder says that it has taken longer to
heat water and to cook than was the
case during the month of August. 1t
is quite certain that the Illuminating
power of the gas has been below par
for some time.
In looking at bills for the same period
last year, it is found that the bill from
September was for two months-Sep-
TENDER 25 to November %, and the
total was $5.31-27 cents more than fol
the single month just rendered.
A decision was recently rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission thai
gas companies could not reduce the
heating or Illuminating power Of theil
product.
The Business Mems Association hal
heard so much about this question o
poor service that it will appoint com
mittee to look into the matter. 1t die
not need the complaints of outsid,
people as nearly every member of tn,
association had personal experience il
the increase Of bills.
, Sometimes it happens that bill i
very low. A case has been reporte'
where such thing happened and
1
man was sent to take second readinI
of the meter. He was not able to fin,
anything different and the bill stoo'
as presented. You never hear of
second reading when a bill increase
so per cent.

Soldiers Rest House and Other
Projects

The initial step toward the opening
Of soldiers rest and recreation house
in Mount Holly was taken on Thurs.
day night, when a committee of the
Business Mems Association agreed to
lease the property of Albert G. Mayer,
corner of Washington and White
streets, which has been vacated by r
N. Carly, the baker.
There appeared to be necessity for
Mount Holly to provide house for
use Of the soldiers on account Of the
increasing number of visitors from
Camp Dix who come to town, and in
being more than doubled when the
camp gets its full quota of drafted
men.
This project is in accordance with
the desire and recommendation of the
war department of the government.
All cities and towns near large mill
tary cantonments are urged to furnish
wholesome entertainment for soldier
visitors, and one of the methods of do
ing this is rest house.
An impression has become extant in
this community that the expense of
maintaining the house will be borne
by the government. This is entirely
erroneous. All the money necessary
must be raised by contributions from
charitably inclined organizations, cor.
porations, business men and citizens.
Recognizing that the communities
adjacent to the military camps cannot
carry the financial burden alone, an
organization known as the War Com
mission on Training Camp Activities,
has started nationwide campaign for
contributions to assist in the work
above mentioned. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the movement is entire
ly charitable.
Mount Holly will be called upon TO
raise its share of the fund, and it is
thought that about $1,000 should be
subscribed here.
Other activities beside the rest house
project are contemplated and desired
in this community. In order to con-
centrate the towns efforts in doing it's
duty toward the soldiers, the commit
tee has called meeting of representa-
tives from all the churches, fraterni
ties, and other organizations Of char
liable nature, to meet in the high
school auditorium on Friday night,
November 9th, at 1880, to form a COM
prehensive central body to take charge
of all the work of this character that is
to be accomplished in this community,

Bic Prices For Tomafoes

The annual meeting of the Burling-
ton County Tomato Growers Associa-
ton was held at the court house on
Saturday afternoon. The principal
subject discussed was the probable
price of tomatoes next year. The
opinion seemed to be that it will not
be less than $25 per ton. Some can
neries paid more than that amount the
past season. The year 1917 was pro-
fitable one to the growers.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with growers in other South Jersey
counties to agree upon uniform price
for next year,
The following officers were reelected:
President, Frederick Lippincott,
Moorestown; secretary, Harry Brick,
Medford; treasurer, Nathaniel B. Jones,
Masonville.

Entertainment for Soldiers Fund

| EHtCItdl1IncNt TOT SOlQlcTS FunQ
Exhibition drills and other touches
of daily military life at Camp Dix, ac-
companied by officers explanations
thereof, will be interesting and timely
features of an entertainment to be
given at the Mount Holly theatre next
Tuesday night, November 18th, by
members of Company /, 311th infan-
try.
This company is composed princi-
pally of Burlington county men, so
the entertainment is of particular local
interest. Then, too, the entire pro-
ceeds of the affair go TO the company
fund, which provides comforts and
recreation facilities not furnished by
the government. There are no wealthy
men in the ranks of this company, as
there are in many of the other similar
organizations at Camp Dix, so our
boys must rely upon contributions and
earnings from entertainments to boost
their fund.-
In addition to the drills and other
features by the soldiers, there will be
numbers by quite an array of volun-
teer artists, including solos by Mrs.
Alexander Ross, soprano, of Burling-
ton; Mrs. w. B. Trowbridge, contral-
TO, of Mount Holly; duet by Miss Edna
Parker and Reginald Shannon, of
Mount Holly; readings by Mrs. Horace
johnson, of Pemberton; violin solo by
Daniel Wilson, of Mount Holly; Sc
lections by the Mount Holly Glee Club;
piano duet by Miss Fay Wilson and
Beverley C. Kingdom, of Mount Holly,
and orchestral music by the Peerless
orchestra. Taken altogether the pro-
gramme is excellent and pleasing.
The price of reserved seats is so
cents, on sale at Dubell's drug store.
General admission, 25 cents.
