At the regular monthly meeting oil
the City Council of Somers Point
held on Tuesday evening, a new con.
tract was awarded to the Atlantic City
Electric Company for lighting the
streets of the city for a period of five
years. The price per light per year
is $50.
A new street light was ordered
placed at the intersection of Grove,
land avenue and Bethel Road and an.
other light ordered placed at the end
of Gibbs avenue. The Road Commit
tee was instructed to repair Harbo1
Lane with a gravel surface at a prob.
able cost of 5000.
The matter Of laying the dust on
Bay n this summer was taken
up and freely discussed. 1t was final
ly decided to let the matter rest with
the Road Committee until the next
meeting of Council. 1t is proposed to
use calcium chloride this summer in
place of sprinkling the street. 1t is
estimated that the cost of the road
dressing will be about $3.50, and this
would effectually stop the flying oil
the dust in dry weather, whereas the
water %sprinkling only serves to keep
the dust down for a short tine after
the sprinkling is done. The use OF
calcium chloride is quite general in
Cape May County, and also in parts
of Atlantic County, and it has proven
very effective and satisfactory wher-
eve used. 1t makes a hard surface
and lasts through the entire summer

Drawing And Art
Exhibit Next Week
Work of Past Year to BE
Exhibited in Gymnasium of
High School Four Days.

Beginning next Tuesday and con
tinuing until Friday there will be an
exhibit of the drawing and art work
of the public school pupils in the
High School gymnasium. There will
be on exhibition the work of the
scholars of the four different schools
of the city and the display is said to
be one that both the pupils and the
teacher, Miss Laura NJ. Carpenter,
may well be proud of. Parents and
friends of the scholars are cordially
invited to attend the exhibit.
Miss Carpenter has taken great
pains with her work and the results
are shown in the large demonstration
that will be shown in the gymnasium
next week. She is a conscientious in
structor, and on account of her pleas
ant personality her pupils take an
added interest in their work. She is
highly capable and efficient, and has
a true sense of art in all its branches.
Having foul schools under her jur-
isdiction has kept Miss Carpenter
very busy all the term. She spends
her time between the Woodland Ave
nue. School, the High School, Leeds
Avenue School and Park Avenue
School. In each of these schools she
pursues a different course and this
would tax many another teacher, not
so well drilled in the rudiments of
her profession as Miss Carpenter is.
Taking a special interest in each
one of her pupils has made the work
of her teaching all the more interest
ing, and this is one of the character
istics of Miss Carpenter. When on
duty nothing interferes with her work
and she gives her undivided attention
to each pupil in his turn. Her work
has been highly praised by those in
charge of the different schools of the
city, and she is a great factor in the
educational development of the COM
ing generation.

evening, when the members and
friends of Atlantic Forest, Tall Cedars
of Lebanon, held their annual picnic
and outing there. The Cedars came
from all over the county, with their
families, and enjoyed M of the best
times Atlantic Forest has ever had.
The Forest had arranged with Man
ager Kesler to purchase the Park with
all its attractions for the afternoon
and evening, and everything was put
in motion from the time the first few
automobiles arrived until after mid
night.
One of the peculiar things about the
affair was the fact that so many OF
the old fellows came out for the pic
mic. Noticed in the crowd were John
T. French, of the County Tax Board;
Richard X. Albertson, Warren Som
ers, Newton w. Spence, Harry Farley,
Professor Hemple, Director George A.

Milton Seaman, Samuel Lippincott,
John Clement and many others who
have been members of the Forest for
a number of years.
In the afternoon there was outdoor
sports of all kinds eVer known. A
baseball game was played between the
married and single men. The single
men played the best game, but the
decisions of the umpire, c. w. Brush,
gave the game to the married men.
Brush is married, by the way, and
his decisions were governed by mods
of the head from the bleachers.
Brick" Seaman, a singer with a
rep" led a chorus of voices out on
the lake which put the frogs to sleep
in the early evening.
The members of the Tall Cedars
Band, about thirty-fiye, were on hand
with their instruments to play a con
cert, but something happened to Viii
liam Preston, the leader of the band,
and he did not show up with the mu'
sic, so that the band did not infltct
any of its music on the gathering.
The leader will have to do some tall
explaining at the next meeting of the
band on Monday evening.
The sack race vas won by James
Moore and Mrs. Charles Garrison
while the best egg carriers were Mrs
Carroll Brown and Sam Lippincott
Mrs. Conoyer and Messrs. Macdonald
and Watts won in the potato race.
No one could tell who won the canoe
ice as there were SO many spills thai
the winner was so wet it Vas impos.
sible to recognize him or her.
The prizes for the winners Were
novel, being brooms, given TO the
ladies' so that the homes of the Cedars
could be kept clean, and to the mer
to protect themselves while they are
home.
During the evening, Immediately
after the Cedars had enjoyed n oil
those famous chicken dinners that
have caused every one to say nice
things about Freebooter Charles Kes.
Ter, the owner of the Park, all enjoyed
the dancing.
A number of contests were held on
the dance floor, such as spot dances
mat dances, prize waltzes, lucky ia
vors, etc, and quite a few of the
ladies showed their liberality by pass
ing the huge boxes of candies won
to all who were around them.
