Bill viii Compel
Stopping of Autos
Drivers Must Bring Machines to
Full Stop When TrolIeys Are
No in Motion.

If a bill introduced in the present
Legislature becomes a law, drivers of
automobiles will be required to bring
their cars TO a complete stop on any
road, no matter what the width of the
road, when trolley cars are at a stop
to receive or discharge passengers.
The bill was introduced by Assembly
man William A. Blair this week, and
is intended principally for Atlantic
City. 1t is an amendment to the gen
eral act. s.
Under the amendment automobiles
must come to a full stop until the
trolley gets under way. In passing a
moving trolley a the automobile
must keep eight feet from the running
board and must sound the horn. The
only exception to passing a stopped
trolley is where the tracks are on the
side of the street, when automobiles
may pass in the centre of the road
way at a speed not to exceed six
miles per hour.

TAX COLLECTOR PRICE
BORN GROUND HOG DAY

Tax Collector Webster Price was
born on Ground Hog Day several years
ago. This year he Travelled about the
city on February End, searching out
his friends, and to each one he handed
a cigar because of the pleasure he de-
rived from enjoying good health and
being able to get out when the ground
hog was so superstitious over the
weather that he just peeped out and
retired again. The genial Tax Col
lector was congratulated on arriving
at another mile stone on LIES road
way and his friends wished him many
returns of the day, with good health
and prosperity following him through
the years.

NEW ROAD BILL
FAVORED HERE
People See Chance to Get Shore
Road Paved If Higbee's Pro-
posed Law is Enacted.
Now Before the Senate

The proposed uniting of two state
routes by having the state take oven
a portion of the Shore Road, in Allan
tic County, and a road from Beesley's
Point to Seaville, in Cape May Coun-
ty, with a bridge over Great. Egg Har-
Dor Bay, to connect the two state
roads, has met with great favor with
people who have occasion to use the
Shore Road between Absecon and
Somers Point. The bill is now before
the Senate. having been introduced
early this week by Senator Richards.
The bill provides that the State
Highway Commission extend Route 4
of the State Highway System from
Absecon to a point in Route IA be-
tween Tuckahoe and Cape May Court
House via the Shore Road. The ex-
tension would pass along the Shore
Road through Pleasantville, Linwood
Mortified and to Somers Point at or
near Somers Mansion, thence to a
point in Route IA to be designated by
the State Highway Commission. The
bill would connect the Shore Road of
this county and a similar highway in
Cape May by means of a bridge owe
the Great Egg Harbor River at Bees
wy
ley's Point.
Route 4 extends from Railway down
the coast to Absecon via Perth Am
boy, Keyport, Middletown, Red Bank,
Long Branch, Asbury Park, Point
Pleasant, Lakewood, Toms River,
Tuckerton and New Gretna. Route Ia
is a stretch of roadway from Egg Har-
Dor City to Mays Landing to Tucka.
hoe to Seaville Tor Marshall's Cor.
ners), to Cape May Court House to
Cape May City.
Route IA energies at Marshall's Cor
ners in Cape May County and contin-
ues down the coast. The idea is to
connect it and Route 4 by paving the
Is miles of roadway from Absecon to
Seaville. Ten miles of the proposed
new State roadway are in this county
and eight in Cape May County. New
York motorists en- route to Cape May
must proceed from Absecon to Egg
Harbor City to Mays Landing to Els
telville to Tuckahoe to Marshalrs Cor
ners, a distance of SO miles.
The bill would have the IS miles
from Absecon to Seaville paved, Sc
3 there would BE conneetior
where Route IA comes out at the lat
ter terminus.

Just Another Way
Of Putting Things
County Buildings Not Removed
But County Offices to be Lo-
Gated in Atlantic City.

There are all sorts of ways OF put
ting things. Here seems 10 be one
way. At the last General Election the
people of Atlantic County voted on
the question of removing the County
Buildings from Mays Landing TO At
lantic City, and the proposition was
defeated. 1t was said because Of the
great expense involved in the matter.
Now there is said to be a proposition
OF foot TO have the Guarantee Trust
Company add another story to its big
Office building and have the top story
given over TO the use Of the County
for grouping its various offices in one
location.
This would Of course keep the pres
ent county buildings at Mays Land
ing. but it would take the great ma
jority of the county business away
from Mays Landing and remove it to
Atlantic City. 1t would certainly cost
a lot of money to erect a story on the
Guarantee Trust Building and il is
hardly likely that the Guarantee Trust
Company would undertake such a
proposition unless the County officials
would give them some assurance OF
adequate returns on the money thus
invested. The upkeep of the build
ings at Mays Landings would not be
reduced much by this procedure. but
the cost Of the offices maintained in
Atlantic City would be more than at
present. The voters probably did not
think of such a move when they cast
their ballots for the county buildings
to stay at Mays Landing.
Many people have believed. and still
do believe, that the proper solution OF
the problem is to locate the county
buildings on the large tract OF land
already owned by the county. partly
in P%leasantville and partly in North.
field. There is ample room for the
buildings and no expense for ground
which the county already has title to
