Carroll denied damaging the prop

The Mayor, however, told him he
would either have to make good at
once or be held under bail, and when
Carroll could not produce the cash, the
bail was fixed at $500 for his appear

COAL STORAGE
DURING SUMMER
Congressman Bacharach Urges
Consumers to Prepare for
Winter Supply Early.
POSSIBILITY OF A STRIKE

Remembering the coal shortage OF
this winter and the suffering and an
noyance it entailed on many people.
together with the high prices paid to
get coal delivered when needed; Con
gresham Bacharach is now sounding
a warning to all customers TO Law in
their stock, wherever possible, during
the warm six months. His letter is
clear and to the point and is as fol-
lows:
In view of the very distressing
conditions experienced during the past
winter months, by reason of the short
age of anthracite coal, | deem it wise
to join with the Federal Fuel Distrib-
utor in urging the people of my dist
riot TO make plans to take in their
supply OF winter fuel during the com
ing spring and summer months.
The present wage agreement be-
tween the anthracite mine operators
and the United Mine Workers will
expire on August 81, 1928, and while
it is hoped and expected that there
will be no stoppage of work at the
mines and that a new agreement will
be signed, there is still a possibility
OF trouble and delay, with curtailed
production as the result. 1t is well 70
remember that the strike al the mines
and IN the railroads last summer re-
suited in the shortage of coal which
brought SO much suffering this win
ter.
q therefore urge that every family
put in its winter supply of fuel during
the mex six months, so that they
may be fortified against a possible
recurrence of the experiences of the
past winter.
There is no reason why the retail
dealers should not encourage such a
movement, as it would be to their
financial advantage to get their GUS
toners to store coal in their bins;
likewise it should be very much to
the financial advantage of the consul
mer, for deliveries can be more easily
and cheaply made during the summer
and the dealer will not have to carry
the heavy burden of yard stocks, all
of which should be reflected in a re-
duced price to the consumer.
81 realize that there are many con-
sumers who may not be financially
u buy their coal in sufficient
a>4e tasallssffix aims ip advance
but no doubt the dealers could make
some arrangements in the way of de
ferred payments in return for the adj
vantages which would accrue to them.
knowing of the great interest
which you manifested in behalf of the
people of your community during the
distressing coal shortage of the past
winter, I will appreciate it if you will
urge the consumers of your commu-
nifty to give consideration to the sug-
gestion of the Federal Fuel Distrib-
utor, which is made in the interest of
the consumer and not for the benefit
of the operators and dealers"

ROADS
BY LEGISLATION
South Jersey Greatly Benefited
By Bills Passed Over Gov
ernor's Veto.
LAW ADDS 1862 MILES

When the Legislature recently pass
ed several highway bills over the veto
of Governor Silzer, South Jersey was
greatly benefited both by taking over
existing roads and laying out new
ones.
According to information compiled
by Acting State Highway Engineer
Edward A. Reed, the passage of these
bills means an addition to the present
State highway system of 1862 miles of
road, or about one-half the present
total. At present the State highway
system is 726 miles long. These bills
will boost the total to 1888 miles.
OF great importance to this locality
is a bill presented in the upper house
by Senator Bright, which provides for
the laying out of a State highway
route from Seaville to Absecon. This
was vetoed by Governor Sill
ger. but was passed nevertheless over
his head.
The measure provides that the
route be laid from Seaville by way of
Palermo, Marmora, Beesley's Point,
Somers Point to Pleasantville, con-
Meeting with route No. 4 at Absecon.
Under the bill this route will be
planned by the new State Highway
Commission "as soon as practicable"
This includes a bridge over Great Egg
Harbor Bay connecting Somers Point
and Beesley's Point.
Other bills passed over the Cover
nor's veto include:
Senator Stevens, of Monmouth,
State highway route extending from
West Berlin, Gibbsboro and Haddon-
field, connecting with Haddon avenue
in that borough, and continuing to the
approach to the proposed Delaware
River OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bridge in
Camden.
Senator Allen, of Salem, State high
way from Pennsgrove, by way of
Sharpstown, Woodstown, Pole Tav-
ern, Elmer, Malaga, Buena Vista,
Mays Landing, Pleasantville, to At
lantic City.
Senator Mathis, of Ocean, Camden
to Toms River.

COUNCIL ACTS
ON LIGHTING
Additional Street Lamps Ordered
Placed = More Fire Plugs
Needed in Absecon.
HAVE new SIDEWALKS SOON

More light and more water is the
slogan adopted by the City Council of
Absecon. At the regular meeting on
Wednesday night, additional street
lighting was discussed and Council
ordered the City Clerk to notify the
electric company to place two addi-
tional lights or Pitney road; also two
lights in the vicinity OF Eighth street
and Nevada avenue : AS this is the
division line between Absecon and
Pleasantville, the Absecon Council
will make a request that the Pleas
antville Council also have a light or
two placed in that location. This
part of the country is fast being built
up and more light is a necessity nov
Several fine bungalows and cottages
have been erected there and others
are in course of construction.
The Water Committee was instruct
ed to consult with the Atlantic County
Water Company to ascertain on what
basis the city can obtain more fire
plugs. The present number of fire
plugs are scattered and Council de-
sires to have others placed in conve-
nient locations about the city. The
matter of water pressure will also be
taken up at the same time.
The Walks and Drives Committee
was ordered to take steps toward hav-
ing grade lines established in the
parts of the city where there are now
no sidewalks and curbs. After the
grades are secured then sidewalks
and curbs will be ordered built.
Property owners on Iowa avenue,
at a distance of $50 feet from the
Shore road, were ordered to have
sidewalks and curbs built, as also
were the property on Ohio
avenue from where the present side
walks and curbs end to the line of the
New road.

SWEDEN IMPORTS RUSSIAN
ASPEN WOOD FOR MATCHES

STOCKHOLM. - The resumption
on a large scale of the shipment of
aspen wood from Russia to Sweden
just reported on by Svensk Finan-
stidning Swedish Financial Jour-
nal), has aroused great interest here.
According to this authority, $780,
600 board feet of aspen wood have
been imported from Russia during
the first nine months of this year,
as against less than half of that
quantity during last year.
All of these shipments of aspen
wood have been bought by the SWed-
ish Match Company, which con-
sumes about 10000, 900 board feet
per year in its domestic and foreign
factories, and it is an ironical fact
that much of this wood ONE from
the forest properties formerly own
ed in Russia by the Swedish Match
Company and confscated by the Boil
shevists.
Although no trade pact has as yet
been successfully negotiated between
Sweden and Soviet Russia each
country sends commercial commits
sioners to the other, and general
trade in both directions is picking
up,

tlments on the subject, following the
filing of a protest by taxpayers own
ing at least ten per cent. of the rat
ables of the town.
The governing body had intended
carrying the work to completion but
were prevented from following out
that course by the remonstrance that
s. as filed.
A great deal of time and energy
has been expended by the members
OF the council in furthering the i'm
provement, and the advertising of
ordinances and legal fees has cost
approximately $4,000, and If the
measure is defeated this will repre-
sent a clear loss.
Under the approval granted by
the State Board of Health, the con-
tract for the actual construction
work must be let within the next
sixteen months and unless afirma-
tive action is authorized by the vot-
ers next Tuesday, it is hardly likely
that Metuchen will be properly
severed for a great many years.
