HUBIN'S LETTER ON SEWERAGE
FOR PLEASANTVILLE.
To Mayor Crawford, President of City
Council and Members of Council:-

10 Mayor Crawford, President OF City
Council and Members of Council:-
The year 1916 has passed and we
have now started on the most pros
porous year of 1917, and with this
year many new and needed improve
ments will be added to our hustling
and progressive city of Pleasantville.
But there is one that is needed worst
of all and that is Sewerage. Every
one should get together and get this
important civic improvement under
way, from a sanitary standpoint and
for the health of the municipality.
We cannot expect new corners and
home seekers and investors to locate
in P~leasantville unless we give them
clean, healthy and sanitary surround
ings, the same as they get in their
home cities. Gentlemen, it is your
duty to take action at once in this di-
r%ection, as you have the entire sup
port of the community. With sewer
from sickness and disease. Look at
the conditions that now exist in Pleas
antville. The ground is saturated with
old, unhealthy cesspools and outhous-
es that are a disgrace to any pro-
gressive community. Gentlemen, it's
a shame to allow these conditions to
exist when the power is placed in
your hands to change them. What if
an epidemic strikes III city? All
the progress of years in building up
our city would be wasted. What
would people say Here is what
they will say-don't GO to Pleasant
vile. Remember, we are in a progress
sive age and what was good enough
for our great grandfathers is not as
some believe good enough for the
present age. We must not stand still,
we must go ahead, especially from a
sanitary standpoint. Sewerage is the
keynote to progressiveness, and with
sewerage u city will take on new
life and those who at the present time
own properties that are not developed
will quickly build on them. l know
myself personally a great many who
would like to live in Pleasantville, but
will not do so until we have sewerage.
Then again there have been cases on
record when a municipality will not
take the necessary precaution to pro-
tect its citizens against unsanitary
conditions, due to lack of sewerage.
The State Board of Health has taken
the Ease in charge and put in proper
sanitary conditions, namely, sewerage.
We surely don't want this to happen
in P%leasantville, and then be charged
up to the municipality. Our city is
too progressive to allow this. Now,
gentlemen, and citizens, and all those
who have civic pride and the interests
of ~Pleasantville at heart, should get
busy on this important sanitary and
civic improvement, namely, Sewerage
for Pleasantville.

HUBIN ON THE JOB.
Gets in Some Fine Publicity and AID
vertising for Pleasantville.

Every year the Philadelphia &
Reading R. R. gets out an interesting
booklet of towns, resorts and cities
along its line of travel, and Hubin,
being on the job for the interest of
Pleasantville, took a copy of the Phil
adelphia Ledger of Dec. 10, which had
a fine boost writeup of Pleasantville
and it's coming opportunities and sent
it to Mr.. George F. Ingram, the Read
ing's advertising agent, and this will
be included in over two million book
lets that will be sent out all wei the
country. Below is a copy of Mr.. In
grams letter to Mr.. Hubin:
"Have your note with clipping from
the Public Ledger of Dec. 18th, 1916,
and thank you for the information.
Shall keep this before me in the pre-
paration of our 1917 literature"
We certainly must take off our hat
to Hubin, as he is one great booster
for Pleasantville and leaves no OPP
%portunity go by where he can get in
a boost for P%leasantville, and by his
boosting at all times for our city it
has made Hubin friends by the thous-
ands.

SHOULD SUPPORT
PAPER THAT IS LOYAL TO IT

The statement that 800 weekly
newspapers have suspended publica-
ton On account of the high price of
print paper, should cause good people
everywhere to rally to the support of
publishers. No institution has been
more loyal to local interests through
thick and thin than the weekly news
paper; and it's a poor community
that doesn't stand by it's friends.
Probably some of the 800 newspapers
alluded to above, did not deserve
to live, but most of them did;
and their demise was due to the fact
that they were published in dead
communities. A live newspaper
makes a live town, and vice versa.

that is the best estimate obainable Cameron has been
a railroad conductor. So far is recorded he never
worked any railroad which passes through any part
of Delaware.
1t is too bad that more information is not to be had
about this man. It would be interesting TO know lots
OF things about who has done useful work for
ffty-three years

humanity forward, that does something-that is the
real life.
And remember that every bit OF honest labor is right

It is TO be hoped that Congress will
not resort to retroactive measures in
providing revenue. even for the ex-
traordinary requirements Of war.
Such form of taxation OF income
would be vicious. destructive Of IN
dustry and confiscatory Of invest
ments, to say nothing Of its consti'
nationality.
II would be class legislation and
individual prescription, because its
burden would vary in every instance
from what It was In every other in
stance. Uniformity would be impos'
sible. IL would be tax not collectible
out Of the thing taxed. Therefore, It
would have to be taken out of some
thing else, probably new income, and
would then be a double tax. To i'm.
pose taxation on what has been spent
or invested is not to tax income.
In many cases it would prove tc be
purei conflscation Of reinforcements,
which would never have been made
had II been possible to foresee the
legislative will.
For the same reason 1t would be
a deterrent TO future investments
Armed with knowledge that IL was
our national fiscal policy, the intend
ing investor would have no earthly
means OF ascertaining what the Six
ty-sixth or Sixty-seventh Congress
would do in the way OF accommodating
further retroactive taxes. This poten

KEEP ON THE GUARD.

TT the members OF the Wilmington Board Of Health
have learned wisdom from experience they will pre-
pare now to make successful fight against another
epidemic OF infantlle paralysis such as we had last
year.
One Of the disease already has developed in the
northwestern section OF city It resulted MORALLY
in a short time the victim being a baby, three years
old
Certainly the dangerous and in sense. the mys-
terious nature the disease should impress our
health officials the necessity for extraordinary
tons.
And there is yet another thing. Wouldn't it be well
for those who in the past have been interested in the
project OF having hospital for the and treatment
OF contagious diseases in near our city TO renew
the agitation and IL they cannot raise the $4,000
or $4,000 needed for its establishments
