That Town Wants to Con.
meet up With Paved
Road

When the citizens OF a commun.
ity desire better highways so strong
ly that they will offer TO pay for
the improvements the prospects OF
their getting what they want are
very bright and that's the outlook
for residents OF Boothville who will
hold mass meeting tonight at 1880
for the purpose OF raising money
to improve the road from the town
to the paved road connecting with
Fatrmont. According 10 reports
there is great interest manifested in
the movement and large turnout
Is expected.
Having no railroad or lnterurban
facilities. Boothsville is dependent
on this road for all travel as we'll
as freight deliveries and while the
pike Is possibly better than most
roads Of its kind in the county
there are tines, especially in winter
when the road becomes almost i'm
passable. The Improvement OF the
road from Fairmont to point
where the Boothsville road inter
sects was a great thing for the
town but that road is distant about
three miles from the town. Just

Earning a Salary

Any man who is earning a wage
or salary can afford 10 buy in
Fairmont. The property is espec-
tally low priced and the terms OF
payment are SO low that from the
smallest kind OF wages there would
be plenty left each month TO meet
the payment required. Thus man
who has not saved for a home can
commence with a Fairmont lot and
Go the buying Of his property in ex.
actly the same manner as he would
put his money in a savings bank
each month.
WITH THIS DIFFERENCE:
That while no ls paying for the prop.
erty 1t is advancing year BY year in
value, and the neighborhood is
built UP, when finally his lot is paid
for and Its quality Is such that he
should secure loan for building pur
poses and in this way take the first
definite steps for a home. Five
Thousand old rent receipts won't
buy a sandwich.
Think this over then come in
and let mo show you how you can
become the owner of one OF my
beautiful lots located everywhere.
Lots from $40 to 500 cash thon $40
saved each month win pay for 1t.

BUILDERS HEAR
ABOUT. BUILDING
Interesting Meeting Held
at the Y. M. C. A.
Last Night

At the meeting yesterday evening
Of the Fairmont Builders Exchange
at the Y. NJ. G. A., E. F. Stokes, sec.
Rotary OF the National Association
OF Builders Exchanges, gave the To-
cal organization an invitation to
affiliate with the National associa.
tion and also supplied much good
advice.
Stokes was the speaker OF the
evening and In his talk he gave
some Of the reasons for the back.
wardness Of building. He attribut.
ed this first 10 lack Of ready
money. AS a remedy for this condi.
tlon a new division has been form.
ed in the Department Of Commerce
called the Division OF Housing and
Construction.
Several plans have been consid.
cred in this division for raising
money, and It Is hoped that enough
money can DO found to build 2,9oO,.
/ 900 workingmen'S homes which will
relieve the shortage Of homes which
is at present about 100000 in the
united states.
Another move which makes the
building outlook very good Is the
