RUMOR UNTRUE
 ON BABYS DEATH

Presid ent Salisbury of the Pleasure Beach Amusement Co. is very much put out at rumor which is being circulated to the effect that an infant died on the Skyrocket roller coaster at Pleasure Beach a few days ago. That is emphatically denied by MT. Salisbury who desires to announce that not a single accident even of a minor nature has occurred since the beach was thrown open to the public.
 Tt would be almost impossible for any one to get hurt any of the at fractions we are running" said MT. Salisbury livery amusement device is equipped with the very latest i'm provement for safety and the possi- bility of accident is must remote. The machinery is examined each day be- fore the park is opened and we make sure that everything is in perfect working order before we allow a sin gle concession to operate. Of course we cannot be held responsible for foolhardiness on the part of out pat rons and we hope that they will give heed to the warnings which are post ed at each attraction.
 ''There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that has come to our ears concerning the death of a baby on the coaster. Nothing of the kind has happened or we would know some thing about it. No, we do not know who started such a wild rumor, but would like to have it denied at once-''
