Everybody knows what happened
to prices for practically cvcrythina
during the war period. The public
was called upon to pay anywhere
from 80 to 500 per cent more for
thines than they had been paying
bat fortunately there was one ne.
cessity that continued to be, and
still IL, ~ cheap os It was before the
war. and that it the cost o: fire
insurance protection to the public.
This IL true despite an cxhorbi-
tant demand for fire insurance
coveraRc when value. were heavily
inflated. There wa. no extortant
nor overchorge INDUCED in, allthc
the pressure was great and the op
portunity ripe. It 10 true that. for a
short time, q surcharHe Of 10 per
cent was added. but even this small
increase was soon eliminated, not
withdrawing the heavy advoncc In
the cost Of all necessities Of opera.
ton, such ~ salaries, stationery
printing. trasvling expenses, etc.
In addition to this, the stock fire
insurance companies have recent,
agreed voluntarily to limit thei,
profits to Z net return Of s per cent
plus 3 per cent for "conflagratior
reserve fund" where It Is neccssita-
ted by local conditions. This fund
Of course. supplies that much morn
protection to the public.
It 10 probable that there ID no

Hammonton, N. j., Dec. 4, 1922.
Editors P~leasantville Press:
In the issue of your paper of Satur-
day, Dec. 2, 1922, appears an article
under the heading High School
Breaks Athletic Relations" a marked
copy of which was sent to me. In this
are several inaccuracies, and request
as a matter of fair play, you give the
following reply as prominent a place
in your journal as the article referred
TO.
The reason assigned was that Ham,
monitor was playing in the backfield
men ineligible on account of playing
for five years, naming Jacobs (called
Savage) and Cappuccio, and giving
Coach Heck as authority. According
to Mr.. Heck's statements to me, they
have entirely m%isquoted him. The
facts are as follows: Five years ago
Mr.. Heck was in the A. e. f. and
overseas; also four years ago he was
in Europe, so he had no personal
knowledge of the teams.
As stated in my letter to Prin- Will
son. Jacobs is nineteen years past
and playing his fourth year on the
team. Cappuccio is eighteen years
past and playing his third year on
the team. Both are regular High
School students, carrying a full line
of work, and without conditions. They
are, therefore, eligible according to
N. j. A.. A. rules.
Further, our contract with Pleasant
vile tates that only bona fide stu
dents of the High Schools should play,
and no one claims we have disregard
ed this rule. Our contract governs
eligibility just as it does guarantee
times and places of playing and other
details.
Again, we were notified Pleasant
Vile would cancel unless We furnished
officials approved by N. j. A. A., and
mailed them a list in advance for APP
proval. We offered Central Board of
ficals the same as officiated at the
~Pleasantville game, Atlantic City and
other places. They are strangers to
us and supposed to be entirely neutral.
In closing, we claim both men refer
red to are eligible according to the
rules of the N. j. l. A. A., and that
we have complied with both the letter
and spirit of our contract.
