WHERE ARE THE E|GHTY-N|NE?
 LOCAL BOARD CALLS THEM IN VAIN

Eighty mine young men in Maricopa county, registered on June for mili- tary service and who have been called by the local board to present them selves for examination, have failed to heed that call, according to a notice prepared yesterday by the local board and presented to The Republican for publication.
 No reasons for the negligence of the eighty nine in failing to appear for physical examination are hinted at in the notice prepared by the local board. It is held as certain that there has been sufficient advertising of the fact that men who registered were being called for examination and that it is the duty of each man so registered to ascertain whether his name or number has been called. If the name of any man is contained in this list through error of the local board, that man easily can prove up"

This is the last call for delinquents. These men will be certified to the ofs ficials at washington and will be the first to be enrolled in the new army. Failing to present themselves, they will be classed as deserters. But the chances are that there will be no prosecutions until after September , when the first contingent of the quota will be sent to mobilization camps. Following is the notice sent out by the local board yesterday:
 "The following list of names of men are those who have been sent notices from the sheriffs office to appear for physical examination for the selective draft Notices have been returned as uncalled for. These men are hereby notified to appear immediately at the local board for Maricopa county ir Phoenix and to submit to examina- ton or be posted as slackers." Here are the names of the eighty nine:

GUARD HOME
FROM SEA GIRT
Boys Were Late, Missed
Demonstration.
HAD GOOD Time
National Guard Soldiers Are Err
thusiastic With Guard Duties.

From Daily Pioneer, Sept. II, 1917
Bridgeton's Company of Nationail
Guard arrived home shortly after 12
o'clock this morning from a two days'
trip to Sea Girt.
The entire Company was in fine
trim and while glad to be home, all
expressed themselves as being high
ly pleased with the trip, and benefit
ted greatly by the experience.
To many of the boys this was the
first trip to Sea Girt and the soldiers
mad a new experience in studying
the camp and witnessing the work of
the soldiers who are still at Sea Girt
The Bridgeton fellows had real
amp life while at Sea Girt and the
rifle practice was a novelty to MANY.
Capt. McGalliard, who has been in
the service and VINO has many times
been at Sea Girt, was enabled to give
the boys a good deal of information
and advantages that otherwise they
would not have enjoyed.
1t was expected that the COMPANY
would be home on the 1915 O'Clock
train, but owing to the railway trou-
bles on the Trenton division of the
railroad, the Company did not get in
Glassboro in time. to make the con-
nection, and special train was made
up to bring the boys here. They ar
rived early this morning. -
Instantly they made a raid upon
the all night restaurants, a lot of the
fellows not having anything to eat
since leaving Sea Girt.
By reaching Bridgeton so late, the
Guard missed a demonstration in
heir honor. A lot of the local fell
lows secured a bunch of red fire
sticks which they planted along Com
merce Street, and this was to be fired
when the soldiers marched through.
But when the arrival was held up
until one o'clock this morning the
enthusiasm of the fellows waned and
the red fire was gathered up and a
demonstration will be made at some
more convenient season.

LICENSE BATTLE
ON THIS YEAR
Fourth Election Under the
Charter Upon License
Issue.
LITTLE INTEREST
In NOvem Der the People Here
Will Decide Upon the License
Issue for Bridgeton

In November the voters of Bridge
ton will decide by their ballots wheth-
er the Court of Common Pleas of Cum
berland County will grant licenses for
inns and taverns in this city.
This will be the fourth election un-
der the provisions of the Bridgeton
Charter to settle this all important
question.
After the new City Charter was
adopted, the first election to decide
the license issue for Bridgeton was
held in November, 1908. That was a
hard fought campaign both the license
and anti-license forces waging a most
determined battle. Not until the final
count of the 2738 ballots was the is
sue decided, and the drys won by the
bare majority of 3S. For days after
that election there were threats up
on the part of the license people of a
recount, but nothing came of it and
the majority was finally accepted.
In the November election of 1911
the issue was again fought out vigor-
ously and for time the license advo
Gates were certain they would win.
When the final vote was counted it
was found that there had been cast
1880 ballots and the majority against
the licensed saloon was 408. 5 Il
Three years afo the third election
was held, November, 1914, 1854 votes
were cast upon the question and the
anti-saloon forces had a most surprfs-
ing and overwhelming victory, the
majority against license being 74e, but
two precincts, the second in the First
ward, and the first in the Second
Ward, giving majority for license.
This year the issue is again before
the voters. Thus far there has been
little interest expressed by either the
license or temperance forces. The
latter have been quietly preparing for
the campaign and there is no danger
that they will be caught mapping. On
the other hand there seems to be no
one to organize a license campaign.
None of the present hotel owners will
attempt such campaign and it is
known that the liquor and brewery
interests nave no notion of financing
a license campaign for Bridgeton.
While some brewery interests are in
close touch with Bridgeton and main
tain a business organization in the
city for the sale of their product they
do not deem it possible to obtain a
license majority and it is said they
have firmly refused to even suggest
making campaign here
However, the anti-license people
will shortly begin actively to wage
an effective campaign and with any
energy directed in such a contest the
anti-license majority will be even
greater than it was threee years ago.

CONSTRUCTION

For two years the American Rail-
way Contractors, a corporation, has
been engaged in the work of construc-
tion for the South Jersey Electric Co..
the corporation which has taken over
practically all of the electric compan-
les in South Jersey. All of the small
plants are being abandoned, and the
electric service is furnished from tn >
big plants of Wilmington, Del, and
Bridgeton.
To provide for this service. the
South Jersey Electric Company has
been obliged to erect many miles of
poles and wire lines and place at
proper points various transformer
stations and booster plants. This
work is done by the American Rail-
ways Contractors, the corporation
having it's principal offices and head
quarters in the Samuel M. Hall build
ing at Laurel and Washington Streets.
1t is understood that the construc-
ton corporation will have perhaps a
month more of work upon the huge
contract before the entire job is com
pleted.

duct public hearing at Cape May
Court House on Thursday, September

at Bridgeton and runs to Cape May
Court House or such other point in
Cape May County on Route IA, as may
NC NY IuG II

eight miles long, and as tentatively
planned will pass through Millville
and belmont, in Cumberland County.
1t is a continuation of what is known
as Route No. 6, which begins at Cam
den and runs to Mullica Hill, in Glou-
cester County, where it forks off to
Salem, in Salem County, and Bridge
ton, in Cumberland County. Route
No. Is begins at Bridgeton.
The presence of General Goethals
at the hearing is expected to bring
out large representation of citizens
of the respective counties affected by
the routes. Recent hearings held in
the northern part of the State and at
tended by General Goethals proved to
be of great help to the Commission.
Citizens interested in the new high
way system, especially that portion
which Immediately affected their vi
cinity, voiced their sentiments, and
made many suggestions in the pres
ence of the Commission members
which will no doubt prove of inesti-
mable value when the Commission
finally makes its decision.

highway. There are but very few toll
roads in the state now, and only two

The men have been paid high wages
and have all the work they could do,
many of them working over time

Up to the first day. of September
80 dogs owned and harbored in the
City of Bridgeton have been regis
tered as provided by the city ordi-
nance. This is a lesser number than
has been registered for a good many
years, and would indicate that there
are fewer dogs owned and kept here
now than for a good many years.
Under the provisions of the ordi-
nance no person can maintain a dog
n Bridgeton without having it Ii
censed and any failure to do so will
result in fine or imprisonment.
