Building Tower for
Town Water System

Work was begun this week on
the tower for the new water tank
in White Bluffs. The tower will
be set in concrete base and will
be 26 feet high. The new 10000
gallon galvanized iron tank will
rest upon this tower.
When the tower is complete and
the tank set in place, the town wa.
ter system will have a much better
and more even pressure, and in adj
dition there will be supply Of
water available in the event any
thing should happen to the motor
or pump. the extra pressure and
surplus of water will be most ap-
preciated, however. in case of fire.
The tank will be located about
Is feet from the new well. Cecil
Coleman and Oscar Swanson have
the contract for the work.

the corner near the old water tank.
The road that runs east and west
past the front of the high school is
also being surveyed. Considerable
work is to be done on both of these
roads this year. The square turn
at Grants Corner is to be eliminat-

road put in condition to compare
with that from Grants Corner to
Hanford.
Two new roads in this district
are also to be built this year. one
north and south through the SOL

the meeting at Liberty hall on
Wednesday evening counted the
crowd and reports that there were
296 people there. And it was an
evening of education and entertain
ment. The White Bluffs Band, in
spite of the illness of their leader,
F. A. English, who was confined
to his bed with cold, played sew
eral selections that drew liberal ap-
plause from the crowd. X. E.

chairman of the meeting and he
first introduced Prof. E. j. New.

and experimenting with different

his talk. The next speaker was W.

was the next speaker. Mr.. Lamp
son had just returned from the
state convention of the Farm Blu
reau at Walla Walla and he gave a
resume of what was accomplished
at that convention. The Farm Blu.
reau is making an earnest effort to
work out a practical plan for mar
keting farm produce and much of
the time at the convention. Mr..
I.ampson said, was taken up in dis
cussion and consideration Of this
question. Most Of the authorities
who have made any great study of
distribution and marketing of
crops, he said, are agreed that the
cooperative plan with a contract
that is known as the long term
contract is by far the most feasible
and promises the greatest success.
Steps to this end have have already
been taken by the Farm Bureau,
it having recently taken over the
marketing machinery Of the North
American Fruit Exchange with dis
tributing centers in $50 of the lar
ger markets in the country. The
/ development of this plan will mean

S Citations in the producing Sec
tions.
j. C. Scott, project manager,
was the last speaker and as it was
growing late he made only short
address, during which he assured
every one that the growing of veg
etables is being planned in
practical way, and that the soldier
settles have no intention of plant
ing their entire 20 acres of raw
land to these crops.
The talks were interspersed with
two musical selections. one piano
duet by Mrs. w. Fl. Ferguson and
daughter Gladys, and the other
musical recitation by little Miss
Madeline Ferguson, accompanied
by her mother on the piano. Both
of these were much appreciated
and brought forth much applause
from The audience.
At the close of the meeting tie
crowd was requested to remain
seated and while the Band played
two more selections every one was
served with delicious plate lunch
consisting of sandwiches, cake and
coffee.

DALLYTOWN ROAD
IS IMPROVED BY
MAUSOLEUM co.
Saves Motorists Mile and Halt
Between Hudson and
Bergen.

The Mausoleum Company Of Ameri.
ca has improved the Dallytown road,
paying all costs of the work, from the
Hudson Boulevard to Dan Kelly's
Hill. This provides a route whereby
motorists travelling from Bergen Coun-
ty into Hudson County save about
mile and quarter, and those going
from Hudson into Bergen likewise. 1t
eliminates the necessity for making
the dangerous curve at Nungessor's.
This historic road that figured
prominently in Revolutionary history
has been in deplorable shape for years.
Few people traversed It, unless they
could not avoid doing so. And 1t fur.
nishes a short cut for one of the main
arteries of travel between Hudson
and Bergen counties.
At times the roadway was impas.
sable and a public improvement was
in prospect, but it had been decided
that this would not be done until the
heavy trucking for the Fairview Mau.
soleum in Fairview Cemetery, Ber-
gen County, was finished. Meanwhile
an average Of $4,000 motor cars had
to go out of their way every week, or
else take chances on broken springs,
blowouts or worse troubles, due to the
condition of the road.
"The Mausoleum Company of Amer.
ica," said Vice President and General
Manager Frederic A. Garner, made
this improvement primarily for the
benefit OF its crypt holders and sub.
scribers and new buyers Of space, and
also for the general public. Its men,
bers are happy in the thought that
they have, in providing for the well
fare and comfort of those with whom
they are dealing, also been able to
confer benefit upon the public in
general, or that part of the general
public that motors on the route be-
tween Hudson and Bergen counties"
After the surface of the roadway
had been treated, motor truckload
after motor truckload of crushed
stone was dumped upon it. After
this, large quantities Of filler were
used, and finally the combination was
rolled down with giant steam rollers,
packing the stone and filler into an
almost solid mass, particularly suit
able for road surface.
This will be great convenience to
those who desire to visit the partially
completed million dollar Fairview
Mausoleum, regarded as the most
beautiful building of its kind in the
world. They will be able to do so in
comfort whether they come by auto
mobile, horse and carriage, or even
afoot.
There are many visitors to Fair
view Cemetery, and the Mausoleum,
particularly, over each Saturday and
Sunday. Many Of, those listed among
the owners Of crypts or other space
in the Mausoleum visited the offices
of the company 140-142 Bergenline

ture would be like, by going to view

JOE BORRELL LISTED
AS BOXER OF PROMISE
Interesting Account of Joe's
Activities by Noted Sport
Writer.

Joe Borrell of Grantwood, broth
er of the police captain, Frank Bor-
rell, is listed among the seasons
com ebacks" by sport writer's and Is
rapidly creeping into the limelight as
a boxer in the AL class.
Lou Jaffe, sport writer for the
Philadelphia Public Ledger has writ
ten an interesting account of Joe's
activities which is printed in part be-
low:
BY LOU JAFFE
Jot down the name of Joe Borrell,
thirty-one years old, among the sea-
sons comebacks.
Out of the ring for about three
years. the former Kensington middle
weight, at one time recognized as
serious contender for worlds laurels,
has resumed action in the fistic whlrl.
He is now seeking prestige IN light
heavyweight competition.
Borrell left Philadelphia two years
ago after he had retired from the
game a year before. He was forced
to quit the ring because OF bad
right hand. Joe married Kensing-
ton lassie and the happy couple
moved to Grantwood, N. j., where
Borrell became successful business
man. During his leisure hours Jo-
seph kept himself in physical condi-
tion by attending local gymnasium.
He became a hand-ball fanatic.
Last winter Borrell was inveigled
to put on the gloves with several as
piring boxers who were anxious to put
Grantwood on the pugilistic map. Joe
stepped around so briskly and he
punched so we'll with his right hand
that he decided to bring glory into
Grantwood himself.
Goes Twelve Rounds With Tarzan
Larkin
So Borrell once more became seri-
GUS in his training. He got himself
in fettle and It wasn't long before Joe
was matched with Tarzan Larkin,
hefty puncher. They were scheduled
to 20 twelve rounds, and the bout
went the distance. Joe was given the
decision.
Borrell became enthused. His right
hand was better than it had been in
wears and he felt the old wallop COM
ing back. He had gained in weight,
and he decided to start campaign In
the ITS pound division. Next Borrell
was hooked up with Frenchman,
Ruddy Martin by name, and the for
eigner was put to sleep in the fourth
round.
Vic Collins was stopped by Borrell
In the third, and then Joe scored
ten round victory against Ray Nue.
man. Fred Willis lasted only three
rounds, after which Charley McKen-
ma, former amateur Metropolitan
light heavyweight champion, was
knocked out in the eleventh.
The decisive victory against Nc
Kenna, who had been stepping along
at nice pace, made the boxing men
in New York city sit up and notice
the Comeback" Now Joe is flooded
with offers.
