For the family OF small size
this bungalow makes a delight
full home. The exterior walls
are Of stucco, and the covered
porch and terrace lend charm to
its appearance. The plan is a
convenient one, the hall in the
center giving privacy to the
two bedrooms and bath. Both
the living room or den and
dining room have bay windows.
The pantry and kitchen are so
placed as to give good service.
There is a rear porch.--Clyde

Building Boosted
By Exemption Of
Tax on New Homes
New N. Y. State Law Acts as
Stimulus to Business
Similar Legislation
Urged Here.

Local home builders last week
commented considerably on a report
in the Builders Journal. national
magazine, relative to the operation
in New York state OF a law ex-
cmpting new houses from taxation.
This law exempts from taxation for
10 years $4,000 Of the value of any
new home, and $1,000 room in any
new apartment house, in which the
apartments have FIVE rooms or less,
This magazine says the law, which
has been in effect only short time,
has already stimulated business.
Many Omaha builders believe such
a law would be stimulant to build
ing homes in Omaha.

up a little trade for our lifeguards, or

do. Nine people, mostly Philadel-
phians, were brought in Saturday from
the neighborhood of the Atlantic and

STATE ENGINEERS INSPECT
OCEAN CITY AUTO BRIDGE

Chief Engineer Thomas ]. Wasser.
of the State Highway Department,
with some of his men, and Col. Whit
temore, of the State Highway Com
mission, were in town Thursday morn
ing and made a preliminary inspec-
ton of the automobile bridge and
roadway over .great Egg Harbor Bay,
between this city and Somers' Point.
1t was stated that the engineers
would return to Ocean City within a
few days and make a complete sur
vey of the bridge.
Assemblyman Boswell, of this city,
who met Commissioner Whittemore
and Engineer Wasser on the occasion
of their visit here, made arrange
ments with Engineer Wasser to send
him data relating to the construction
of the bridge and roadway, and this
Mr.. Boswell did later in the day, mail
ing the information to Trenton.
Mr.. Boswell said that this is the
preliminary step toward freeing the
bridge from toll. Just how SOC the
bridge will be free seems to be a
mystery. It is the only toll bridge
now in New Jersey.
The bridge company officials say
they are willing to sell to the state,
and the state says it hasn't the money
about 1854, 000-to buy the structure
and roadway.-Ocean City Sentinel.

M s9SSS NM not really the
NN NTK IhN name of this
MAJ MA "a IEU state. AS can
Nh MMOM be seen from
WSow the state seal,
@@ the official
name is the estate of Rhode
Island and Providence Planta-
TONS" 1t originated from two
Nistinct settlements. The first
was made by Roger Williams in
1886. He was the pastor of a
church in Salem. AS he advo-
Gated radical reforms he was
ordered to return to England,
but fed to the Narragansett
tribe Of Indians. From them he
obtained a tract of land and
called the town which he estab-
lished Providence, In token Of
Gods mercy which had so far
provided for him.
About the same time Mrs.
Anne Hutchinson and her fol-
lowers were expelled from Mas
sachusetts on account of a theo-
logical dispute. She made her
way to the island Of Aquidneck,
which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms Of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats.
The name of this island was
changed to the Isle Of Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island in the Mediterranean.
BY common usage 1t became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles II gave Rhode Island a
very liberal charter, and this re-
manned In force until 1871, when
a new state constitution was
adopted by mass conventions,
and two years later another new
constitution was legally voted.
The change in constitutions
caused what was known as
DORIS rebellion.
The entrance Of Rhode Island
into the Union in 1890 completed
the list of the original thirteen
states. Though Rhode Island is
the smallest of all the states,
with only 1,24S square miles, 1t
is very thickly populated and
has five presidential electors,
which is more than those of a
number of states of much larger
territory.
