City Commissioners Meet

A reception for returned soldier
boys and the oiling of the streets
occupied practically all the attention
of the Lambertville City Commission
ers at yesterdays meeting.
Commissioner Foltz explained at
some lenght the changes in the agree
ment with the Earl-Lansdell Company
which is applying Texaco oil to the
streets, particularly that part relating
to the sweeping of the thoroughfares
with a rotary power sweeper. 1t
having been found that such sweep
ing is not necessary, owing to the
generally clean condition of the
streets, it will not be done, the compa-
ny renting this cost to the city. He
also stated that the company found
it more advisable to spread the stone
by hand than by machine, and that
the extra expense to the city would
be adjusted by the company.
Mayor Balderson was authorized
to name a committee to arrange for
dinner to the returned soldiers.
Various forms of entertainment will
be provided, and a good time is look
ed forward to. Commissioner Foltz
received the approval of Commission
ers Balderston and Cohcran when he
said it would look better for this city
to do some work and provide a good
time for the boys, than it would to
ask the boys to do all the work them
selves parading around the streets,
while the citizens looked on in
comfort.
A copy of the resolution commend
ing Captain Harold R. Wilbur for his
excellent work as commanding officer
of the Lambertville Company of In
fantry, New Jersey State Militia Re-
serve, was received from the members
of that organization, and properly
filed for future reference.

ing Officer, Captain Fl. R. Wilbur.
Therefore, be it resolved:
That we hereby express our deep
appreciation of the faithful service
rendered by Captain Wilbur, and the
qualities of fairness, courtesy,
patience and perseverance with which
he performed his duties. We recog-
nize that the training that the
Company acquired, the discipline to
which it submitted and such capacity
for usefulness in case of need as it
possessed, were in greatest measure
due to his untiring efforts to main
tain good attendance and strict at
tention to the work in hand. We also
certify the value which those of the
Company who entered the federal SER
vice attached to the preliminary train
ing which they had received under
Captain Wilbur, we express to him
the whole hearted respect and affec-
ton of the entire Company.
And further be it resolved, that

assistance, to report at further
meeting next Tuesday night.
An option has been taken on what
was the former upper Eye farm, a
mile below the city limits along the
Delaware River, and arrangements
have already been made whereby the
Belvidere Delaware Railroad will es-
tablish a station at that point for
workmen in the plant.
Many details were gone into at last
nights meeting, the substance of
which was that the $4,000 asked
from local people will be secured by
six per cent mortgage on the plant,
to be worth $4,000, or a total of
$4,000 of the promoters own money,
aside from a working capital of
$4,000 or more. Several investiga-
lions were made concerning E. F.
and John S. Quirke, the active owners
Of the Chemung Iron and Steel
Company, who seek to locate the plant
here, and all the reports were highly
satisfactory.
Separate efforts will be made to
raise the 81 900 necessary to purchase
the land, which is to be donated, a
resolution being passed to ask the
Merchants Association to assume this
responsibility.
Complete plans will be available at
Tuesday nights meeting, to be held

In marketing poultry and eggs there

LICE INJURIOUS TO TURKEYS
Common Body Louise Of Chickens Is
Often Found in Sufficient Num-
bers to Be Harmful.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Four species of lice are commonly
found on turkeys in this country. One
of these, which occurs particularly on
turkeys associated with chickens, is
the common body louise of chickens.
This species is not found in great
numbers on turkeys, but it sometimes
becomes sufficiently abundant to cause
considerable irritation and doubtless
is injurious both to the grown fowls
and to the young. The shaft louise of
chickens also has been found on tur-
keys, but probably does not breed on
that host. The other two species
seem to be native to the turkey, prob
ably existing on this fowl in the wild
state. The large turkey louise prob
ably is most abundant. 1t occurs on
the feathers on various parts Of the
body, especially on the neck and
breast. The slender turkey louise is
a species, of good size, though rather
elongate, resembling in shape the
head louise of chickens. Normally
neither of these species is excessively
abundant, but on crippled or unthrifty
turkeys they may cause serious annoy.
