Business Prospects Good

The business prospects for this
community are the brightest in it's
history, judging from the plans now
under way for factory additions and
other improvements.
The Lambertville Pottery Com
pany will extend it's present plant
both ways on North Union street.
having purchased an additional fifty
feet-the property recently purchased
and now sold by J. Ross Gilbert, on
the north side. The company has 100
feet available on the South side, be-
tween its plant and the lands of Smith
& Sons Corporation, and Contras-
tor George w. Arnett is already at
work on this section 1t was at first
planned to build on another piece of
land, but this would have necessitated
two separate plants, within a few
hundred feet of each other, but def
nitely separated.
The Lambertville Rubber Company
will erect a large brick building at it's
plant on South Main street, beginning
at the creek, where the present frame
building stands, and continuing to the
lower driveway. This will do away
with the present frame building and
the stone building used for print
ing Office, and give the company all
brick buildings for manufacturing
purposes.
The Universal Paper Bag Company,
of New Hope, is erecting large
brick addition to it's already large
factory, which will give it one of
the largest plants of the kind in the
country.
All of these will add many hands
to their forces, when construction is
completed, and the latest prospects
for the new vitrified brick plant at
Reeder station, just outside of New
Hope, are bright enough to promise
still more good things for this COM
munity.

Eucks County and Nearby


Thousands of young fruit trees in
Bucks county have been killed dur
ing the winter by rabbits, which, I'M
able to get their customary food on
the ground because of the deep and
crusted snow, gnawed the bark of
these trees, "girdling" them and thus
cutting off the flow of sap. The rab-
bits saved themselves from starva-
ton, but the loss to farmers and or
chardists is serious.

Building Code for City.

The City Commissioners, at yester-
days meeting passed on first reading
an ordinance for the regulation of
building erection and alienation
that is likely to become one of the
most important pieces of legislation
ever adopted in Lambertville.
Under it's provisions no building
may be erected or alterations made
to any existing structure until a per-
NIT shall first have been obtained
from the Board of Engineers, a BODY
elected by the various fire companies
of the city. Violations of this re-
quirement would be penalized at the
rate of $50 for each and every day
that the work continued without a
permit having been obtained.
The City Commissioners have been
in consultation with Fire Chief
George W. Arnett and the Board con-
corning the fire dangers, as evidenced
by the recent big fire at Lambert &
Kerr's garage building, and this
measure is the outcome. 1t will be
taken up again at the meeting of
April 8, for further consideration,
and possible final passage.
1t was announced, in considerating
the measure, that. the references to
the Fire Underwriters Code would
be replaced by definite conditions for
the regulation of building construc-
ton, and that further provisions would
made so that householder would not
need a permit merely to make trif-
ling alterations.
A charge of 81 will be made for the
permit, which will be issued by the
City Clerk after the Board of En-
gineers have passed upon the plans
and specifications for such improve
ment or alteration.
The probility of more extended
building operations in this city at an
early date made it desirable that
provisions should be made against
the erection of anything that would
prove firetrap or, endanger other
buildings.

St. Andrews Church.
Rector, Rev. Thomas J. Bensley, D. D

The Master says: If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross. The cross
does not stand for suffering alone;
it also stands for service. The
cost of cross-bearing is agony of soul
for the sin of the world; it also
means running to lift the load from
hearts which have been crushed I'M
der it's weight. There is no better
test of religion than service and sacri-
fee. 1t is not enough to be just good,
we must be good for something and
good to somebody.

WORK OF CLEANING
CITY Being RUSHED
City Carts Unable To Keep Up
With Work-Will Not Finish
This Week

This was surely cleanup week
in Richmond, and if doubted, ask
the drivers of the city carts about
the work they have been doing
since Wednesday morning, when
they started hauling away the
refuse piled at the gutter by the
busy folks, who have been reno
waiting. They are still at it, for
Saturday morning, all four of the
carts were in evidence, and one of
the drivers said that he believed
he never would get through"
There were boxes of every size
and variety, as we'll as cans,
bottles and other things too
numerous to mention, piled high
on the carts, and the drivers state
shat when they would make one
round, they would turn around
and make another and get as
much of load the second time
as they did the first.
The orders, as issued the first
of the week were to the effect
that all was expected to recog-
nize the general plan of work and
go to it. They surely have
been doing SO, and Richmond is
said to be one of the cleanest
little cities iii the state today.
The street cleaning department
and workmen i'll charge of the
city vehicles used in carting away
the refuse, said Saturday that
they had been informed by many
that the services OF the carts
would be required during the first
of next week, since it would be
impossible to finish the work to-
day. The carts will be provided
again and the work will be kept
up until completely finished
Mayor Evans is pleased with the
manner in which his order is
being obeyed, and is of the
opinion that the system as i'm
dertaken this year by those who
have cleaning to do, will be close
| ly followed another year, very
successfully and effectively.
