PREPARING To
BUILD THEATRE
James Lewis Risley Residence
Being Moved to Front on
Verona Avenue.
Other Big Operations

In preparation for the erection of
an up-to-date moving picture theatre
here at the corner of Main Street and
Verona Avenue, (the P~leasantville-
Atlantic City ~Boulevard), the resi-
dence of James Lewis Risley, which
has stood at this corner for many
years and was one of the landmarks
here, is being moved to a new loca-
tion on Verona Avenue. The new
theatre is to be erected by the Stan
ley Company of America, and when
it is completed the latest releases will
be shown simultaneously with the
showings in other Stanley houses.
This valuable corner was sold for the
theatre some weeks ago and it's price,
100000, established a new high record
for Main Street property. Zippler and
Wootton sold the property to the the
atre company after they had purchas-
ed ii from Mr.. Risley for $4,000.
The Risley home was elevated sew
eral feet above the street level and
it will be necessary to make deep ex-
cavations on the ground before build
ing operations are commenced. 1t
will probably be six months or more
before the new theatre is completed
and ready for the opening. The COM
ing of the Stanley Company to this
city will give the people high-class
amusements, and with the contem-
plated enlargement of the Strand The
atre, will give to Pleasantville two
thoroughly modern play-houses.
Two other big operations are now
under way on North Main street. Eng
lish and Somers, who recently acquir-
ed the tract just south of the Read
ing Railroad, are now building two
stores and apartments. The building
will be completed during the fall
months.
w. C. Megronigle is also to start
the building of stores and apartments
on the tract just north of the Reading
Railroad. Excavations have beer 60
ing on for several days on this tract
and the Morrison Concrete Block COM
pany has hauled tons of gravel from
there for cement block making. There
will be a deep basement to this struc-

AUTO TRUCK BURNED.

An o~verheated engine is blamed for
the almost complete loss of an auto
mobile truck owned by Edward
Lynch G Sons, Philadelphia, which
caught fire late Monday afternoon at
a supply station in Absecon.
The flames from the blazing truck
were prevented from spreading to the
supply station by the quick action of
employees who pushed the auto into
the street and brought hand extin-
guishers into action. The loss is esti-
mated at $500. The name of the
driver was not revealed.

referendum vote taken at the next

ultion which stated the sentiment of
the Board as being in favor of the
county seat being retained at Mays
Landing. Now the Kiwanis Clubs are
having a petition circulated to obtain
the signatures of at least twenty per

plan for obtaining the required num-

Walter Gill has systematized the cam

registration lists for each precinct in
Atlantic City, Ventnor and Margate

where they lived so that the three
cities will be covered like a blanket

Berlin, Aug. 25-At the bottom
of the present menacing situation is
the fact that the world has lost con-

cable fact that a country that has
striyen to carry out her promises
as Germany has, should not be
trusted.
A further plunge in the value Of
the mark must be counted on.
Wages Down-Prices Up.
The average German worker, who,
before the war earned IS week now
get less than 81 a week. Mean
while, prices have been raised of
ten twice in a single day.
Soon hundreds of thousands of
workers will be idle The rich
would be forced to pay billions of
marks to keep the unemployed
workmen from starving to death, but
even this measure of relief would
be insufficient to keep the suffering
German masses from an eruption OF
despair.

All this will not avert perdition
