F~REEHOLDERS TO
FORCE SUPPORT
Want Legislation Compelling All
County Municipalities To Pay
Almshouse Expense.

AT the meeting of the Board of Free
holders on Wednesday the members
decided to ask members of the Legis-
lature to have a law passed requiring
every municipality in the county to
contribute its general share of the
expense of maintaining the County
almshouse. At the present time there
are several municipalities which do
not contribute generally to the upkeep
of the institution, in of
which the funds are not sufficient to
meet requirements. The municipali-
ties which do not contribute regularly
are Pleasantville, Atlantic City, Vent
nor City, Longport, Egg Harbor City,
and Hammonton.. P~leasantville did
contribute until recently when Coun-
Gil passed a resolution to care for it's
own poor.
At the request of County Treasurer
Enoch L. Johnson, who is i'll at this
time, Franklin e. Smith, of this city,
was appointed Acting County Treas
urer until January 1st. Mr.. Smith
has been assistant to Treasurer John
son for a long time, and knows the
workings of the office thoroughly.
County Auditor Absalom Higbee,
brother of County Solicitor e. A. Hig-
bee, resigned after fifteen years SER
to the County. The resignation
was submitted because of pressure of
personal business, Mr.. Higbee stated.
County Engineer Nelson was autho-
riZed by the Board to obtain options
required from property n for the
widening of the Absecon Boulevard,
preparatory to paving la SiXtV foot
strip of the road. The Board ordered
a ten days notice served on Benjamin
Fox to remove signs which he had
placed along the fence guarding the
~Pleasantville Boulevard 1t was said
that the Board would bave the signs
removed at the expense of Mr.. Fox if
he failed to comply with the order of
removal.
According to action taken by the
Board in abandoning the plans for re-
paving of the Shore Road, it is not
believed this proposition will again
come up for five years. 1t will be that
time before the state can give any
aid in paving the road under existing
laws.
DR.. Edward Guion, of Atlantic City,
is an active candidate for the position
of Superintendent of the county asyl-
and almshouse to succeed the late
Henry c. Munro. This position
will be filled at the annual meeting
of the Board TO be held at Mays Land
ing on New Years Day. County So
licitor e. A. Higbee's time also expires
this year and it is expected that he
will be renamed on New, Years Day.

TAX ASSESSORS MET TO
CONFER WITH TAXPAYERS

On Tuesday afternoon Tax Asses
sors Reuben e. Adams and George M.
Bates sat at the City Hall to confer
with taxpayers regarding the assess
ment made against properties for he
year 1923. Several property owners
called to ascertain what assessment
had been made against their proper
ties. 1t was found that values gener-
ally had been raised throughout the
city. In the business section they
were raised considerably in some in
stances where former assessments
had been low compared with present
day values. In the residential section
the raise was small. Taken altogether
the valuation for the 1928 tax assess
ment will allow Council to make addi-
tlonal appropriations yer last year
and at the same time not advance the
tax rate over that of last year. The
assessors books will be turned over
to the County Tax Board on January
goth, and shortly after that date the
tax rate will be announced.

LAST MEETING
NEXT MONDAY
Council Will Close Business For
Year With This Session
Two to Retire.
To Pass Sewer Rentals

When City Council meets next Mon
day night it will be the last meeting
to be held for the year 1922, and all
old business will be closed out in pre-
paration for the reorganization of
Council on Monday, January LIST, when
Councilman-at-Large Albert E. James
and Councilman Frank Blackman will
retire from the body to be replaced
by Councilman-at-Large elect Guy B.
Wilson and Councilman elect James
A. Reynolds of the First Ward.
The only remaining ordinance to be
passed by Council is that pertaining
to the annual sewerage rentals, and
this will be passed on third reading
or Monday night. No new ordinances
will be introduced until the first meet
ing in January. Several matters were
laid over this year because of lack of
funds to carry them out, caused by the
over-bonding of the city at the present
time, notably the new storm water
drainage system for the Park avenu
section of the city, and the memorial
park project.
These two matters, besides other
municipal improvements, will again be
taken up after the first of the year
when the appropriations have
been made and additional bonding ca
pacity will be allowed because of the
increased valuation of real estate.
Just how much additional bonding ca
pacity will accrue is problematical,
but it will be very slight. Additional
money will be needed for street ap-
preparations next year because of the
inadequate appropriation for this ear
delaying work that might have been
completed but for lack of funds. With
the expansion of the city the street
lighting bill is also increasing each
year.
In addition to the two new concil-
men, Mayor-elect Charles e. Jackson
will assume office the first of the year
to succeed Mayor Thomas f. Craw-
ford.
There will be several changes in
the councilmanic committees because
of the seating of the two new mem
bers. President James Yates is eX-
pected to again head the Councilman
ic body, as he has presided with fair
ness to all during the past year.
There is a City Treasurer to be APP
pointed for a term of three years by
the new Council, and three vacancies
will exist on the Board of Health. In
conversation with one of the members
of Council, it was intimated that two
of the new members of the Board of
Health may be women who have taken
an interest in civic affairs.
The term of President Stiles of the
Board of Education will expire in Feb
ruary, and his successor will be nam
ed by the new Mayor. Mayor Jackson
is Clerk of the Board of Education,
and will probably resign hat post in
a short time. His successor in this
position will be elected by the Board
of Education.

game between o. G.. H. S. and p. H.

Wesley M. e. Church can well be
proud of possessing one of the most
modern and unique pipe organs in the
county. The organ is novel in its
arrangement, being divided into three
sections, the swell" and great" or
gans being on opposite sides of the
front part of the auditorium, while
the echo" organ is placed in a sepa-
rate chamber, back and over the Sun
day School room.
The organ is a two manual type,
with thee echo" organ playing from
the "swell" manual, Each division is
under separate shade controls, and
the volumes of each organ can be reg
ulated to a nicely. The action is cleo
trio with the most modern improve
ments. Every coupler known TO the
organ trade can be found OF this con-
sole.
The organ has 20 stops, from ii
complete sets Of pipes and consists of
over 800 pipes and 20 chime tubes.
The organ is well adapted for eth
er Church or recital work. The eX-
IRENE s~oftness of the echo organ and
the massive power of the full organ
give the recitalist a charm for many
and varied effects. The string tones,
especially, are sweet and mellow,
while the Vox Humand lin the echo)
sounds almost as if the angels were
singing.
The organ was built by M. p. Moller
of Hagerstown, Md.
