FURTHER INCREASE REFUSED
LOCAL GAS COMPANY
Utility Commission Decides Excess
Gas Leakage Must First Be
Stopped.

After hearing the application of the
Atlantic City and Suburban Gas and
Fuel Co. for increased service charges
from $1.4O to $1.S5 per thousand feet,
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners decided that the increase was
not justified, and City Solicitor Cham
pion received notice yesterday (Fri-
day. afternoon that the petition had
been dismissed.
In its report the Board said:
Much testimony was submitted
showing the leakage of gas was exces-
sive, the average for the past six
years having been not far from 40 per
cent. y = II 1t would appear that a
large part of this is due to the exist
enc of many mains of considerable
age"
The Commission noted that there
has apparently been no steps taken to
put. the mains in condition to deliver
gas without abnormal leakage. 1t fur
Their states:
There cannot be efficient manage
ment at the plant until the distributing
system is properly repaired. The diff.
culties of the company have been
largely in it's management and financ.
ing, and the Board would not be JUS
titled in granting n further increase
in rates until the company has demon
strated it's willingness to remove the
principal causes for its present ope.

We are entering into the Passion
Week and our thoughts will center
round it's great events. The greatest
event of history, of life, and expert
ence is the Cross of Christ. 1t unites
at heart all Christendom.
An Anglican Toplady writes Rock
of Ages, a Congregationalist Watts
writes when l Survey the World" a
Presbyterian Matheson sings 20 Cross
that liftest up my head" a German
Gerhardt of the Lutheran church
writes 20 Sacred Head Sore Wound
ed"
We all sing the truths of the heart
that surrounds the Cross.
Christ crucified is central in the
New Testament, central in the preach
ing of Christianity, and central of all
vital experience of religion.
On Sunday morning and evening,
also on Good Friday, the pastor will
take as his messages, "The Great Mag
net-The Cross of Christ"
No message of Calvary is more pow
erful than in Jean Ingelow's "Honors":
And didst Thou love the race that loved not
Thee
And didst Thou take to heaven a human
% brow?
Est plead with mans voice by the Marvel
NY lous Sea?
Art Thou His Kinsman Now,
O God. o kinsman loved, but not enough
o Man with eyes majestic after death,
Whose feet have toiled along our pathways
rough,
Whose lips drawn human breath!
Come lest this heart should cold and cast
away,
r. ere the Guest adored she entertain
Lest eyes that never saw Thine earthly day
Should miss Thy heavenly reign.

Do you believe in government own
ership and control of water, gas, cleo
tricity, telephones, telegraphs, and
railroads? Have you thought serious
ly on both sides of the question? Be
ing a good citizen, no doubt you have,
but even granting that, you may hear
some new evidence at the High School
Auditorium April II. At eight o'clock
the Ocean City High School team will
cross swords with the Pleasantville
team and "a fair field and no %favors"
promises a thrilling encounter-hon-
estly. it ought to be as interesting as
a movie. Try it just once, and see,
There will be a short musical pro-
gram, and afterwards refreshments
for all. Admission, 25c.
It is worthy of note that the judges
who will award the laurels are all
men of legal experience whose pres
ence will give weight and dignity to
the occasion. They are eX-Judge Cole,
of Atlantic City; Attorney George
Bourgeois, of Atlantic City; and Mr..
Charles D. White, of the Marlborough

The season will close with this final
contest. The Pleasantyille High
School debate coaching has been in
charge of Miss Sherwood and Mrs.
Macmillan, who have succeeded in
making all of the six debates highly
interesting and beneficial. The Inter-
scholastic organization is surely pro-
ducing greater thought and more in
telligent understanding of national
problems, especially among the stu
dents, although audiences, too, benefit
from listening to the results of concen-
trated study of these questions.
The Class of 1920, or the present
Juniors, planted on Arbor Day a plot
of hardy white hydrangeas in memory
of the Pleasantville boys who fell in
the late war. The Glass announces its

weather was unfavorable, a crowded
house enjoyed the music, beautiful
costumes and scenery. Many most
lattering comments were bestowed
upon the clever songs and artistic eff
fects, and it was unanimously pro-
nounced a success. The proceeds
from the sale of the tickets reached
almost the two hundred mark. A repe-
tition of the play has already been re-
quested, and the date set for April
25th.
Miss Eckhardt, musical director and
manager, wishes special mention made
of the teachers who assisted her. Miss
Monahan's ability in the dramatic and
rhythmic work deserves the greatest
praise. Both Miss Eckhardt and the
students feel hat her share in their
success should be heavily emphasized.
Miss Morton's assistance with the
scenery was most valuable, especially
in painting the background, and Mr..
Myers aid, as usual, was freely given
in manufacturing trellis and other
stage equipment.
