Penns Grove Continues To Grow

When the war boom was ended
many expected Penns Grove to slump
to near it's valuation of six years ago
with many empty houses and bank
ruptcy in business. All are glad that
the most pessimistic have been happi-
w disappointed and all should rejoice,
# thew do not, in having those with us
who have great faith in Penns Grove
and have built new houses and stores
the past year.
The houses and stores in Penns
Grove are occupied with few eXcep-
lions. Persons who lived in temper
arv shacks during the boom moved in
to better quarters as many moved
away. While hosts have gone away,
new ones have come and are finding
Penns Grove a convenient and healthy
place to live.
AS proof that Penns Grove is pros
porous and continues to grow, Assess
or Joseph N. Layman furnishes the
Record the following figures: T.,
Value of taxable property at local
rate for the year 1919, $2,805, $40.
Value of taxable property at local
rate for 1920, $~2,89O,449, showing an
increase over 1919 of $4,000.
There is also property owned by and
~operated by corporations valued at
So, ia, on which the Borough receiv-
ed a franchise tax and a tax on gross
r~eceipts which brings the valuation OF
ali taxable property to $2,943,163.
There is S79,6O0 worth of exempt
property including schools, Churches,
cemeteries, etc., making a total valu-
alton of $3,022,7 1853.

Council Hears TroIley-Jitney Matter

There was quite a gathering of
people at the Council Chamber on
Tuesday night to hear the question of
trolley and jitney traffic threshed out.
The Chamber of Commerce held a
public meeting last week when the
subject was given wide and general
discussion, the final result being that
a committee representing the trolley
company, the jitney men and the gen
eral public a appointed by President
Gentieu to go over the matter in the
presence of the Mayor and Council,
with a view, if possible, of suggesting
some local legislation by that body
that would place the jitneys under
satisfactory regulation n control
and put them upon a fair basis of COM
petition with the trolley company.
This condition the trolley company
claims does not exist and the compe-
tition is unfair to such an extent as
to be responsible in a large measure
for the company's inability to pay
dividends or do sufficient business to
prevent a deficit,
Mr.. Berry, Superintendent of the
trolley company, was present, and pre-
scented an array of figures from the
Company's books, showing the various
sums they had paid towards street
paving, percentage of gross receipts
paid into the local and State treasur-
les and other information relating to
their operation. Considerable discus
sion followed on both sides of the
question but nothing definite resulted.
The trolley company's operations
- 1I.4a1,, ,NIo,. +hn oonfIol of the
State Public Utilities Commission and
they can hardly make a move OF any
kind without its consent.
Any resident can file a complaint or
grievance with the Commission against
the company and an inspector will at
once be put ON the job to investigate
it.
The iitneys are practically a law I'M
to themselves. There are traffic rules
and regulations which they are sup
posed to follow, the same as other We
hicles, but there is no provision for
liability for accidents other than their
personal responsibility, and the only
Borough regulation is the required Ii
cense fee. =,
The iitneys operate into, through
and out of the Borough of PennS
Grove, and this it seems prevents the
authorities from enacting any legisla-
ton placing them strictly under con-
troll of the Borough. They carry pas
sengers through Penns Grove into
Upper Penns Neck Township. Hence
it would require the cooperation OF
the Township authorities to regulate
matters. This it was decided, would
be taken up by the two governing
bodies with a view of some satisfac-
tory provisions for regulation.

THE COUNCIL AND GAMBLING

When the present council uCenseu
bawdy houses, we thought that II
had reached the limit Of insult to the
decent people Of this community.
But We were mistaken. II had TO 90
further. and II is fair to assume tha,
I, did SO under the same orders that
directed II to issue the license. II
had to assure a supply OF "roomers"
for the "rooming houses" 10 which II
guaranteed official protection and to
DO so IL had TO step from the gutter
down into the cesspool Of the tin
horn. the pimp and makareau.
The plans were well laid and the
skids well creased TO ditch the move
TO stop gambling and we understand
that certain members OF the council
we're acquainted with all OF the de-
tails. The action Of the council Mon
day night confirmed our information.
Even so, we were surprised that men
who pretend to belong TO the decent
element Of the community. who seek
association with respectable people.
would do as they did and then have
the efirontery to Justify their action.
But klamath Falls was redeemed
through the courage Of one man
William =. Kay. Al least he stopped
the contamination Of the disgrsceful
proceeding and forced a reluctant
council to at least hesitate. Through
Dis action q semblance OF an anti
gambling ordinance Is before the
council, but unless he has the sup
port he ought to have II will get no
further. Two members OF the coun-
ell have tentatively lined up against
n. We know the undesirable mem
hers Of the eonnn unity are busy
bringing every influence TO bear to
sti6en them and bring to their aid
sn@cient support TO win the tight.
Until the present storm blows over
gambling has stopped. in the hope
that the outcry may be stilled. 9th
er influence Of q more sinister ma
ture. we are told. has been. is. and
Uill be used. We shall see.
Is Mr.. Kay to carry on this hght
alone! Is his the only voice in this
city that Is TO be raised against a
vice that is debauching the city,
running young men and boys, break
ing up homes and threatening to
drive from Klamath Falls the very
best element among the working
men OF the district? Are our bust.
ness men to stand supinely by and
see built up here an influence and an
element a thousand times worse than
the wickedest saloon that ever ours.
ed the city? Are the operators OF
the mills and factories going to leave
TO one man the carrying on Of a fight
that is theirs more than IL is OF any
other one interest in the county?
We. do not think so. We think
that this final move OF the council
manic champions OF bswdy houses
and their supporters have laid the
last straw upon the backs Of long
suffering, patient people and that
something will break. but not the
backs that have been carrying the
load. Mr.. Kay did a work that de-
serves the CONNIE mendation OF the peo-
pie of the city. He did a work that
should have the united support OF
every decent Individual support
that should be active. vigorous. un-
stinted. 1t should begin today and
perhaps our blind" councilmeH and
their disruptable supporters may see
the light next Monday night.
