The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-08-10
UTILITY BOARD DECIDES
SELLING PRICE EXCESSIVE
Gives Local Company Right to Sell
at a Lower Figure.

The Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners has denied the application of
the Pleasantville Heat, Light and Pow
er Company to sell two pieces of land
with buildings, located in Pleasant
Vile, to the Atlantic City Suburban
Gas and Fuel Company. The Board
objected to the price involved, namely,
$36, 648, on the ground that it is Al per
cent. in excess of its value. However,
the decision states that if the company
desires, the Board will approve of the
sale for $26, 900. A proviso attached
was that the accrued rental for the
the company selling, due by it shall be
paid or allowed as a credit on the pur-
chase price at the time of changing
title to the Atlantic City Suburban Gas
& Fuel Company. The amount of the
rental is $6,250, and is due under the
terms of a lease under which the latter
company rented its property to the for
mer concern.
In 1908 the Atlantic City Suburban
Gas & Fuel Company leased its proper
ty rights and franchises to the Pleas
antville Heat, Light and Power Compa-
ny, which the latter continued to ope-
rate until January first of this year,
when it surrendered the lease to the
original owners The Heat, Light and
Power Company, during its possession,
in order to meet the demands of it's
consumers, vas obliged to increase the
output of gas and had to purchase the
necessary land, erect thereon buildings
and install machinery, and also to es-
tablish an office building, all of which
were used until the lease was surren-
dered. The Suburban Gas & Fuel
Company is now using them.
The Heat, Light and Power Compa-
ny declared it had expended $36,648 in
making these plant extensions. The
Utility Board says hat in finding a ba-
sis for the order which it made on
June 26 last, allowing the Atlantic City
Suburban Gas & Fuel Company permits
sion to charge certain rates, it reached
the conclusion, after the testimony of
experts, hat the total present value of
the property in question is 5,795.
Therefore, it refused to sanction the
sale for $36,648.

RED CROSS HANDLES
LETTERS To GERMANY
Follow Plan Which Is as Spy
Proof as Is Possible to
Devise.

To prevent the possibility Of valu-
able information getting into Germany,
the American Red Cross, in sending
letters behind the enemy lines at the
request of persons in this country, is
following carefully a plan worked out
by the state department to do away
with code.
Americans, Germans or others in the
United States wishing to communicate
with relatives in Germany must now
write out their messages in Red Cross
chapters throughout the country.
These are sent through the division Of
fcers of the organization to national
headquarters. Here they are rewrit-
ten and the wording absolutely chang
ed to prevent the sending of any dia-
gram or secret code. The messages
are given to the censorship board and
are passed or refused by them as the
case may be. When they reach a neu-
trail country, they are translated on
other paper and in most cases delivered
by the Red Cross of the place, to which
they go. The plan is considered as
spy proof as it is possible to devise.
During the last % years the practice
has grown up that welfare inquiries
and messages shall be permitted be-
tween civilians in countries which are
at war with each other. The promis-
cuous sending of letters through or
CARNATIONS in neutral countries could
not be permitted because of the large
number of enemies in the country. To
prohibit entirely the sending of mes
sages would. for example, prevent a
loyal American from finding out wheth-
er his sister, unfortunately married to
a German, was alive or dead. Pro-
hibition was in force for a time and
pitiful appeals were received by the
Red Cross from French, Belgians and
Italians begging the society TO get
word for them as to whether their peo-
pie in the occupied districts We're still
alive.
The state department presented to
the Red Cross the present plan in de-
tail and asked that the Red Cross put
it into effect. AS it was purely hui

country. Napoleon stands for self
seeking. Washington for service.
The spirit of Napoleon is exactly the
opposite of the Spirit of Christ, but in
Washington a measure of the spirit
supremely found in Christ appeared,
for he sought not to be. ministered
unto, but to minister.
In the final analysis there are just
these two conceptions of life, on the
one hand self-seeking, and on the 9TH
er hand service. You can divide men
everywhere into two groups. One has
the spirit of Napoleon and the other
the spirit of Washington. Meet one
type of man and he is trying OF push
himself to the front. He is eager to
stand in the limelight. He wants to
heap up wealth for himself. Meet the
other sort of mar and he is so absorb
ed in the cause for which he has Civ
en- his life, that he has practically for
gotten himself. He is little concerned
as to who gets the credit if only the
cause goes forward. For money he is
not anxious save as it enables him to
be more helpful to his fellows.-Rus-
