Commissioner Sadler Gives
Information to Callers
About Roads

Legislators and others who called
on Highway Commissioners sadier
late yesterday to gel some informa-
ton about the states road building
program were informed very clearly
that the state expects boroughs and
townships to help and not hinder.
Inform your people," said Com
missioner Sadler to several delega-
tions, TShat if boroughs wish the
state toNnstruct a roadway neces-
sary to connect two sections of state
highway-when legislation has been
passed permitting this, they must see
to it that gas and water mains,
sewers and conduits of various sorts
are laid before the work starts. 1t
is not the intention of the highway
department to construct permanent
roads only to have them torn up for
the laying of piping and condults.
AS a result of one conference,
Beaver county will get over so miles
of new highway. The Beaver dele
cation was led by Senator Craig ana
Judge Wilson. 1t had its construc-
ton ideas and proposition in con-
crete form, and will issue SIoO'oou
in bonds.

ficers' assistants in Allegheny county
and receiving reports of committees.
Five bills came out with negative
recommendations being duplicates.
Among the score or more or plils
favorably reported was the Showalter
bill to regulate use of brilliant head-
lights on automobiles.
The House adjourned at o'clock
after having spent more than 1our
hours in sessions on the calendars.
Representative Samuel McCurdy,
Blair. fought a lone fight against
dozen opponents of his bill TO re-
duce licenses for the sale of oleo-
margerine before a sub committee of
the House judiciary special commit
tee. He contended that milk is not
being used for butter. but being sent
to cities and used in soda fountains
and for general purposes; that oleo-
margerine should have its own mar
ket and not to be hedged about by
licenses which had been enacted to
provide for regulation, but which had
developed into revenue raisers and
that it was unpatriotic to tax food.

said it would make trouble to en-
force the license act if enacted and
the others said it meant loss to dairy
ing and cattle raising interests.
The Dithrich bill regulating trucks
on weight basis and providing for
certain provisions was explained to
the roads committee of the House by
]. L. Adams, Paul w. Wolff, r. P.
Hooper and others interested in the
motor organizations. They opposed
any plan to return share of the
licenses to counties where trucks are
owned. The bill will be considered
by a sub committee.

A Bank Swindled

What was partial secret has beer
made public by the arrest in Phila-
delphia, last week, of a man who had
been obtaining money by means oil
forged checks. He was thought to be
the fellow who had worked in Mount
Holly week or two ago.
On the day in question man en-
tered the Union National Bank and
presented check for Sc, 600 which wa s
supposed to be certified by the First
National Bank of Wrightstown. He
said he wished to use 1000 as he had
purchased or was about to buy NOV
ling picture establishment, but he fail
ed to give the location of the place.
The balance of $1,000 he desired to
leave on deposit. There were but two
of the employees in the bank at the
time, but the affair appeared to have
the appearance of being genuine and
after some questioning it was decided
that the matter was all right and the
money was handed over.
The check was sent through the Fed
eral Reserve for collection and came
back marked a forgery, Detectives
were at once put on the track of the
forger. 1t was found that three men
had registered at one of the hotels here
on the day the check was presented !,
but only one of them seemed TO have
transacted the business. Whether it
was because OF the work done here
that she man was discovered and ar
rested in Philadelphia is not known
but when he was confronted by the
clerk who paid him the money he
could not be identified, so the real Of
fender is still at large.

to go into farming. Finding a good

his principal line and this year he has
sold over 5000 bushels of the fruit.

: WATER COMPANY IMPROVE
MENTS.

For several months the Mount Holly
Water Company has been making ad-
ditions to it's equipment and doing
what is thought will improve the SER
vice in this town. When it was pro-
posed by the township committee to
repair the road on Water street the
water company thought it good time
to change it's pipes, so the old three
inch main was discarded and 700 feet
of six-inch mains were installed and
at the same time several of the prop
eEty owners installed the water sys-
tenn into their residences. Out Wash
ington street the same thing was done,
a short extension being installed and
35 new service pipes were run to
houses. Larger freplugs have been
put in at various street corners, thus
affording better supply in case of
fire.
Under the authority of the State
Board of Health the water company
has been conducting an interesting
experiment by using a chemical prep
aration containing carbonate of lime
instead of the carbonate of soda which
is generally used with alum in filter
ing soft waters. Experts agree that
waters of this type found in the Ran
cocas are the most difficult to treat
on account of their high color, and the
claim has been recently made that the
lime was more effective in eliminating
the color, as well as preventing the
foration of carbon di-oxide, which
often causes red precipitate. The
experiment has been very satisfactory
thus far, and the management feels
justified in hoping that high color and
"red water" have been conquered.
Bridgeton has also used this prepara-
tion for several weeks with satisfac-
tory results.
A new apparatus has been installed,
operated by electricity, to feed the
chemicals dry instead of in concen-
trated solution as formerly. The
electrolytic cell, for generating chlor-
inc gas from salt solution, which
was installed a month ago, is working
very satisfactorily. 1t is considered
more effective as a germicide and can
not give the water an unpleasant
taste as an overdose of hypo might.
The cost of these two improvements
was about $1,000, and adding the ex-
pense of the work done in the differ
ent parts of the town, represents an
expenditure of over $4,000 in a few
months.
