ii was decided to grant an extension
of fifty days to contractor Martin V. B.

between the car tracks, and after ey-
cry rain water collects, making the
passage for automobiles and wagons
bad. AS the street slopes both ways
towards the car track, the water col
lects there, and it cannot be drained
off. After discussing the situation for
sometime, during which a number Of
ways to remedy the situation were
suggested, including the raising of the
car tracks at this point, a motion was
made TO have a surveyor get the prop
er grades at that point, and also 10
survey the street lear the Holmes and
Barber properties, to ascertain if GER
tain citizens are not claiming a part
of the city's property at that point.
The motion was carried.
A report on First street was made
by the street committee, in which
Councilman DeHaven stated that more
gravel would be needed than was
planned for, and plans mad been made
to secure this gravel and finish the
street. When completed the highway
will grade toward the curb, allowing
the drain water to go in that direction
and run off. The report was received
and ordered filed.
A petition was received from a num-
Der of citizens requesting the Council

POST OFFICE
BUILDING SOON
Plans Being Aoitated for Continuous
Twenty-Four Hour Service
from Atlantic City.
NEED is FULLY APPARENT,

While some people have not yet
awakened to the possibilities of Pleas
antville and the rapid growth it is ex-
per1enclng, there are others who appre-
ciate the strides that are being made
and who are preparing for the new
order of things by Improvements that
are absolutely necessary in the every
day life of the people who are flocking
to the city to find homes. One of the
men who appreciates Personalities
prosperity is Congressman Isaac Bach
arach, just reelected to serve another
term. He has done many things for
~Pleasantville and his latest act is to
introduce a bill in the House of Rep
resentatives for a Federal Potsoffice
Building.
Only a short time ago the Chamber
of Commerce took up this important
question and named a committee to
see the Congressman and obtain his
support for such a building. He prom
ised his cooperation and his act of
this week shows that he intends to
fulfill that promise. The bill was in
troduced on Monday at the special ses-
sion of the House. 1t provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of a site and the erection of a
post office building.
The measure was referred to the
House Committee on Buildings and
Grounds which is preparing an omni-
bus buildings bill for passage at this
season..
Observation-Disclosures will urge
the committee to Include the Pleasant
vile post Office building in any build
ing bill passed this session.
~Pleasantville needs and is entitled
to a federal building, Mr.. Bacharach
said, to care for its rapidly growing
post Office business. On November I
city delivery was established at Pleas
antVille, with four carriers and two
substitutes and this has added consid-
erably to the business conducted in
the post office.
The text of the bill is as follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as.
scmbled. That the Secretary of the
treasury be. and he is hereby, autho-
r1zed and directed to contract for the
acquisition, by purchases condemna-
ton, or otherwise. of a suitable site
and Tor the erection and. completions ala
q suitable building, Including frepfoof
Vaults mechanical equipment. mud
nialleonveying apparatus. and so forth.
as he may deem advisabfe, for the use
and accommodation of the post Office
and other governmental offices at
PleasantVille, New Jersey, at a cost
not exceeding SIS, 00O."
