Better Lighting
For The Suburbs
Councilman Kidd Gets Lights
For Dark Places in Highland
Park and Summerill Tract

The Mayor and Council met in the
Borough Hall on Tuesday night. Pres
ident George M. Pyne presided in the
absence of the Mayor. All the mem
bers were present together with Bor-
ough Clerk w. A. Hunt. Freebooter
Samuel l.. Layman was also in atten-
|. dence to give information in relation
: to some county matters in which the
Borough is interested.
The financial committee reported a
balance in the Treasurer's hands of
~$11,475.28. Balance from license fees
Ind miscellaneous accounts So ,741.72.
: The Clerk was directed to commune
cate with the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company requesting
them to have the ditch on their prem
ises cleaned out from Friendship Sta
ton thru Penns Grove and to have
the refuse carted away instead of
piling it on the banks to wash back
into the stream.
Clerk Hunt said that the Company
in an interview did not feel disposed
to act in the matter as they were not
responsible for the ditch being filled
with rubbish. They would act with
the Borough, however.
Councilman Robert w. Kidd made
a motion that street lights be placed
thru Highland Park to the Summerill
Tract. There were many property
! owners and much travel through this
section and there should be- lights for
their benefit. They get none of the
as water, fire and police protection.
About the only privilege they have is
to pay their taxes. The motion was
carried, all the members favoring the
proposition as presented by Mr.. Kidd.
Freebooter Samuel L. Layman, was
requested to notify the Board of Free
holders that bridges on Park Avenue
and Westminster Avenue were in need
of considerable repairs. In fact it was
probable both would have to be rebuilt.

Adelbert higgins, head of the Water
Company, that they would like to have
him present at the next meeting, Nov.
31st, to discuss some important mat
tiers concerning the water service in

school Problem Grows

Penns Grove school started with
four less teachers in September. The
Board Of Education thought that 50
many moved from the Borough. less
teachers would be needed. Instead Of
decreasing the pupils have increased
100 since school began in September. A
fast as families moved away with their
children others have moved from the
dupont Village in the Borough.
Teachers in the primary grades have
from so TO 70 in some rooms.
The Board of Education met last
Friday evening TO consider the sltuat-
ion. 1t was voted to lease the four
room garage building, which has been
used the past three years, OF Harry
A. Green, at 5000 for the year.
Three teachers were employed, Mrs.
G. Allen Hires, of Salem; Louisa A.
Gould. of Carneys Point and Mrs. Nor
ma Shaw, on Church Street, Penns
Grove.
The high school has 200 scholars
who need all the high school building.
Many sit in the auditorium during the
study periods.
Most citizens thought there would
he a large decrease in the number OF
school children. which has not been as
large as expected. The high school
scholars are about as many as last
wear. Notwithstanding several have
moved away.

How Tommy Washed His Jitney

For more than a week it has been
noticed that Tom Pennington's jitney
has been unusually clean. He was
out on the road to Sharptown one day
last week speeding. The road turns
at Layton's lake, otherwise known as
dupont reservoir. But Tom went
straight ahead into the lake until the
top was only seen.
When asked what was the matter
Tom says, he was drunk. AS he was
seen drunk, it is believed he was
only nervous and wanted a drink. He
got the fresh water drink and his jlt-
lie is so fat that he floats on top
of the water like a porpoise. Being
one of those Pennsville amphibious
bows he soon swan ashore.
Some libelous reporter put IN the
Philadelphia paper that he lost his
trousers and 500, but Tommy doesn't
take to reporters. The jitney was
pulled out and now he drives a clean
one. The report that it was his first
bath this season is also libelous.
