Automatic Signal
Will Now Be Placed
State Highway Commission Con-
sents to Erection of Traffic
Regulator at Absecon.

After about two months delay, the
busiest months Of the whole year, be-
cause the State Highway Commission
ignored letters OF city officials, per-
mission has been secured by the City
Council OF Absecon for the erection Of
the automatic traffic signal at the in
%tersection OF White Horse pike, Shore
road. New York road and Absecon-
Atlantic City boulevard. The consent
Of the Highway Commission was Civ
en- early this week, and Mayor Harry
Mattson, Sr.. Councilman Alfred J.
Roger and Chief OF Police William
Schoepfin, Jr., Immediately busted
themselves with the selection of the
proper location and erection Of the
signal. II is expected that the signal
will be in place in time TO regulate
the heavy weekend traffic on Satur-
day and Sunday.
The great wonder is that there have
been no fatal accidents at the busiest
intersection in all New Jersey. On
Saturday and Sunday, at this season
of the year, there are at least 80 TO 40
cars every minute passing this inter-
section of the four roads. This is not
an overdrawn statement, as time and
again have the automobiles been coun-
ted for an hour, TO find out how heavy
the traffic really is Saturday and Sun
day afternoons,
The signal viii be placed almost in
the centre Of the intersection. 1t will
be equipped with an electric flash
light, which will throw red and green
colors. Directions to Philadelphia,
Atlantic City. New York and Pleasant
vile will be painted on the post.

but. a mirror rejecting man, and to
have clean, wholesome boyhood it
would be necessary to have clean,
wholesome manhood. :
81 can tell you the true reputation
of every business man of importance
in this community in "a hours" said
Mr.. Boardman, simply by obtaining
my knowledge through the boys
would come into contact with.
There is no way to build big boy
hood except that boyhood be built by
the big men Of the community. After
the boy has passed a certain age, wo-
men cannot handle him. They can
understand him, but he must have
men, big clean mems men, at the
helm"
The speaker stressed the fact that
so fewNo Of the business men of a COM

then some. The. medal was a work of
art, in leather, with a pendant which
was a rusty horseshoe tied to the

ROAD PAVING
BEFORE COURT
Writ of Certiorari Allowed by
Supreme Court Justice Black
In Absecon Matter.
RETURNABLE SEPTEMBER 4

The admonition OF Freebooter Free
mar Parker, of Ventnor City, that if a
contract was awarded for the paving
OF Absecon Boulevard with asphalt
block by the Board OF Freeholders the
matter would be taken to the Supreme
Court for review, proved to be a cor
rect one This week several taxpay-
ers of Atlantic County sought court
action to review the recent award
made by the Freeholders TO c. H.
Earle, for paving Absecon Boulevard
with asphalt block, at a cost Of about
s935,000. A writ of certiorari was
allowed by Supreme Court Justice
Charles c. Black, and the return day
was named as September 4th.
The application for the writ was
made by former Judge Clarence L.
Cole, counsel for a group of taxpayers.
among whom are former Mayor Will
lam Riddle and former Postmaster
William B. Loudenslager, of Atlantic
City; Freebooter Charles NJ. Kesler,
OF Absecon; Philip G. Hannum, con-
tractor, of Mortified, and Charles r.
Moore, of Atlantic City, all substantial
property holders.
The grounds on which the courts
are asked to set aside the contract as
disclosed in the affidavit submitted to
Justice Black, alleged a violation OF
the Act of 1918. requiring contracts
for county work TO contain a provision
for the payment Of inspectors. if the
work is not completed within the
specified time; that the action Of the
Board in specifying asphalt block is a
violation of the. Mathis Open Specih-
cations Act, and further the selection
of such material after the State High.
way Commission had refused its ap-
prevail was an "extravagant and waste
full use of the money Of the taxpayers
and that an equally as good a road, II
not better, can be built for one-half a
million dollars"
Not only will the action of the court
tie up the paving of the boulevard
until such a time as it passes upon
the objections made, but it will also
act as a stay upon the sale OF the
bond issue of s 1904, 900 which was
authorized last week to meet the cost
of the work. The bond sale was to
take place within the next " or
three zzeeks, andaEork on the boule'
vard was IN he started Immediately.

day. when he was kicked in the head
by a horse. /. He was rushed to the

insisted on returning to Pennington.
