Worst Blizzard in Years

The worst blizzard in years yester-
day made this city "trolleyless" and
nearly mailless, although some of the
Philadelphia mails arrived during the
! morning via Bethlehem and Easton.
Many of the city streets are drifted
so that an automobile cannot pass
through sections of them, and most
of the country roads are hopeless for
anything but a man on horseback or
a sled, and even then shoveling and
detours have to be resorted to.
Upwards of foot of snow fell here
on Wednesday and during the night,
not finally ceasing until noon yester-
day, but the wind piled this into drifts
from two to six feet high.
The first train to arrive from any,
where yesterday came from Fleming
ton, in the early morning, but snow
pillow was derailed on that line later
SO that the Pennington train was not
able to return until mid-afternoon.
Lie HlOI ulIS u dill lIOlu DSlNluSIS
came an hour late, but the one due
from Stroudsburg did not show up
until afternoon, and those from Tren-
ton were from one to two hours late.
The first mail from north of Phillips
burg came along at Abs in the after
noon.
No morning papers were received
until nearly noon, but the Times came
along in good time in the afternoon,
by train.
No cars were operated on the Bucks
County Railway after early We'd
nesday evening, one of the passenger
cars being derailed near Dark Hollow,
in the lower end of New Hope borough
at that time, and not replaced yet
yesterday. One freight car reached
that point during the day, but there
was no passenger service at all, and
none of the four mails that should
have arrived at this city during yes
terday have shown up.
No train from Stroudsburg show
ing up during the forenoon, to carry
the many waiting Trenton passengers
the Pennington train, which could not
reach it's destination because of the
derailed snow pillow, made a trip to
the Capital City, running in place OF
the 11.50 A. M. train.
The Reading out of New Hope was
tied up until 1890 noon, the 5.15
and 7.05 A. M. trains from New Hope
being stalled at Wycombe until thai
hour. No additional trains were sem
out after the 705 until the road wa.
opened, the next one leaving abou
1.3O, and 9.01 A. M. from Glensidt
arriving at 1.15 P. M.
No trips were made by the rura
routes, nor were they attempted, as
the carriers could have proceeded bu1
short way, and would have had tt
go without their morning mails. Post.
master James A. Cleary said last
night that all the mails on hand hac
been despatched.

Brick Plant Seems Sure

Both New Hope and Lambertville
will be largely benefited by the loca-
ton of the vitrified brick plant of the
American Clay Products Company at
the easterly limits of New Hope
borough, which now seems certain of
accomplishment.
Watson K. Reeder, executor of the
Eastburn Reeder Estate, and local
agent of the Reading Railway at
New Hope, announces that the whole
$4,000 purchase price has been paid
/ over to the Solebury National Bank
of New Hope, and it's final distribution
is only a matter of few days until
all the searching of titles has been
completed.
There is no known obstacle in the
way of the transfer of the Reeder
Farms, one on the Center Hill road
and the other at Reeder Station, and
representatives of the American Clay
Products Company announce that
bricks will be made this summer.
1t is understood that the new COM
pany has enough business in prospect
to run the plant at high pressure until
late in 1922, even though not another
order should be secured.
The advent of this plant will mean
boon in the building business, too,
because there are not enough houses
now to accommodate all who want them
in New Hope, and there is no surplus
in this city, especially to rent. From
one hundred to two hundred new
houses will be needed in the two
towns within the next year to take
care of the incoming workmen if the
expectations of the brick people are
realized.
The New Hope Vitrified Brick Com
pany owns the Huffnagle farm, at
Huffnagle station, between the center
of New Hope and Reeder station, and
began some work in the fall of 1918,
but have lain dormant since, presuma-
bly, because of lack of capital. The
new company is said to have hackers
with large resources.

Schools to Cost s37,1O5.

The total expenditures for the
| schools of Lambertville for the COM
ing year will be $37, Jos, according to
the budget adopted by the Board of
Education for presentation to the
Board of Estimate. Total credits of
$11 900, of which $1,000 is expected
to come from the state, through the
county, and $4,000 from tuition, will
reduce this amount to $26,33O.
This will increase the tax rate for
school purposes from Csc. on the 500
| of assessed valuation, to $109, or 41c.
| raise, bringing the total rate in this
city to somewhere around $3.50,
againsk $3.07 last year. Of this
amount, $1.09 will go for schools and
$1.O9 for county, and about $1.21,
same as last year, for city purposes.
The remainder will be for state and
other uses aside from the city itself.
Of the $37,105 total expenses, teach
ers' salaries will use up $26,250; JAM
tors salaries, $4,000; fuel, $1,4OO; re-
pairs, $500; supervisors expenses,
$75; text books, 5000; supplies of ed
ucation, $1,000; janitors' supplies,
$500; light and power, $3.50; truant
officer, $75; office expense, $500; COM
mencement, $75; insurance, 5000; in
| cidentals, 5000; library, $50; medical
inspection, $50; school nurse, $500;
manual training, 81 200; estimated de-
felt for current year, $4,000.
Walter S. Thomas, the new mem
Der succeeding Walter F. Hayhurst,
has taken his seat, and E. Clifton
VanHart has been named as secre-
tary of the board to succeed Mr.. Hay
hurst, who resigned this position.
The other officers are: President, An
drew ]. McClinton; vice president,
Frederick A. Woodward; board of es-
innate, A. j. McClinton and F. A.
Woodward; building committee, Phil
lip J. Faherty, Harry S. Petrie and
A. J. McClinton; teachers, McClinton,
Woodward, Faherty; discipline, Pet
RE, Woodward, Thomas; finance,
Woodward, Petrie, Thomas.
The retiring secretary, Walter F.
Hayhurst, says that in his opinion
$4,000 is very conservative estimate
of his probable refciency for the cur
| rent year; and that he is sure there is
no member of the Board that will not
admit that the $4,000 stated in the bud
get, is not half enough to cover the
deficiency and calls the attention to
! the fact that this is violation of the
spirit of the budget law, and is follow
ing an old-fashioned practice of trying
to shift the burden of a deficit to q
| subsequent year; and suggests that
the taxpayers ought to take sufficient
interest in this matter to endeavor to
| influence the Board of Estimate,
which is composed of the three COM
missioners and two members of the
Board of Education, and have them
meet the requirement of the law and
good business by paying their debts,
instead of leaving it over for some
one else to pay, when no one can tell
whether there will not be added bur-
dens which will then require atten-
ton. Everyone who owns property
or who is buying property, ought to
see how, it is better to meet a require
ment honestly and fully, rather than
to post pone it and then probably
have to pay more with interest.
