CITY ELECTRIC co.
OWNERS OF LOCAL PLANT.
Promise Many Improvements Without
Increased Cost To The
Consumers.

The Public Utilities Commission has
ratified the sale of the Pleasantville
electric plant with all its franchises
and rights to the Atlantic City Electric
Company. At an early date the local
power plant will be closed and power
and light will be furnished us from
the larger plant in Atlantic City.
Pleasantville will be more brilliant
ly lighted than it is today when the
Atlantic City Company completes con-
templated improvements to the sys-
TEN. The present arc lamps are of the
old style, and new and brighter ones
will replace them. They will have al
most double the light power, and the
cost will be no greater.
Manager Sterling, of the Atlantic
City Electric Company, who will SUI
pervise the improvements to the coun-
ty system, said to a reporter:
I'VE intend to bring the county sys-
tenn up to date in many features. 1t
needs some new improvements to mod
ernie it. The light will be stronger
and the service more reliable.
THE main feed wire which supplies
the Ocean City branch goes by way of
the Longport Boulevard. We would
like to have a feed wire for Pleasant
vile nearer to the power plant in At
lantic City.
so far as | am aware there is no
plans as yet considered for a revision
of rates. and il | am not misinformed,
the rates in the county have been high
er than in Atlantic City and Ocean
City. There may be a revision of rates,
but of this | am not certain"

The value of manufacturing indus
tries to a community is evidenced by
the Taubel Hosiery Mill, which located
in P~leasantville four years ago. Star
ting in a humble way, more as an ex-
detrimental proposition, Mr.. Taubel
soon recognized in our city an ideal
location for a permanent establishment.
He Immediately erected a handsome
brick building on North Main street,
and equipped it with the latest ma
chinery for the manufacture of hosie-

CAPTURES LARGE FISH.

Rev. Pennington Corson, of Pleas
antville; DIR. Allen Corson, of Ocean
City, and City Solicitor E. G. C. Bleak
ly, of Camden, who recently returned
from a trip South, each caught a sail
fish at Miami. The minister's fish was
the largest, it measuring W. feet.
He is an old-time angler, having been
born and raised a few miles from
Ocean City. All the fish were of large
size, and it took these disciples OF
Izaak Walton each about an hour to
land their prize.
In order that there might be no
question of their catching the fish, they
brought home pictures of themselves
and their captures. But, of course,
few would doubt the veracity of a
preacher a doctor and a lawyer.

PLEAsANTVlLLE's POPULATION
WILL NEAR THE 5000 MARK.

While the exact figures were unob-
tainable, we have it on reliable infor-
nation that the 1920 Federal census
will show the population of Pleasant
vile to be nearly 5000, This will be
a gain over 1910 of approximately
1900, the figures for that year showing
a trife less than AGO inhabitants.
Pleasantyille's gain in inhabitants
will probably be among the largest
shown by any of the municipalities in
the County. and will compare faVora-
bly, with any of the State.
