phone service. He assured the COM
mittee that the Telephone Company
would do all in its power to have
modern battery system installed for
this territory that would meet the de-
mands Of amy development that was
made. He said that he anticipated
that this section would attract many
Trenton resients if building activi-
ties Were once started, and that the
Telephone Company did not want to
make the mistake of installing a sys-
tenn here that would soon be out
grown.
Commissioner Malloy submitted q
report on the building development
that is taking place at Washington
Crossing, showing that bungalows of
six rooms and bath with convenience
are being built to sell for$4,200. He
said that in view Of the demands OF
the New York representatives that
sewage system will be installed be-
fore they could handle the propo-
sition. and that the houses they pro-
posed to- build would cost $4,000, it
would seem better that local people
follow the Washington Crossing plan.
II was aso brought out that in view
of the fact that the city's bonded in
debtedness left only margin of
some 100000, that sewage could not
be installed Mt this time. The recent
article in the Trenton Times on the
suggested plans Of development was
referred to, and-it was thought that
the public might get the idea that the
city officials were too ambitious in
their plans. While this is not the
case and the proposals are only a
suggested schedule for future devels
opment of bigger and better Lam
bertville, it was decided unanimously
not to approve the Toulouse pro-
gram
Interest was then centered on the
possibilities OF small operations to
be carried on by individuals who have
scattered lots ON which houses can be
built 1t was pointed out that the
price Of the Washington Crossing
houses is proof of the fact that build
ing costs are about ms low rs they
ever will be. This is an advantage
eous time tobuild, and with such a
demand for houses Of that type, sales
are assured for such buildings,
Mr.. BONNER, for the Rubber Mil,
and Mr.. Faherty, for the Pottery,
agreed to circulate questionnaires
among their employees in order TO ar
i've at a definite idca of those desir-
ing to own their own homes. The
Wire Mini and other manufactures
are being asked to do the same thing.
Mr. Woodward said that he was
ready 10 start two buildings immed-
lately and M, BONNER replied that
be would send him purchasers for
them. The desrability Of the loca-
ton Of HOUSES on the Woodward
tract was agreed TO by all the mem-
bers Of the committee.
Another meeting will be held in the
near future at which others concern
ed will be asked to attend. 1t S be-
lived tht the interest already devel-
oped will be the starting point for a
general program of Improvement.

Lambertville--Th local committee
which met June Is with three New
York representatives of realty devel-
opment, has decided to abandon the
extensive project as outlined by
them, and endeavor to create devel-
opment by local people The New
York men were Cornelius s. Lodor,
industrial 'eonsultant, William J,
Dilthey, architect, and A. +. DeMayo,
contractor.
Mr.. DeMayo is a contractor of ex-
tensive operations in apartment and
hotel construction aud in railroad
building. His proposition to the 10,
cal committee was that before he
could help finance building deyel.
opment in Lambertville a sewage
system would have to be installed in
the whole city or else in the tract
that should be used for the housing
development. In this event he agreed
to finance half the costs up to a
half million dollar development.
Mr. Dilthey. the architect, advo.
Gated the erection of double houses
of six rooms and bath to each side
These he said would sell for $4,000
house. Mr.. Lodor urged that the
housing development be followed by
general program of education tow
ard securing all the needed improve
ments of the city This included a
new High School, II Community
House, Hospital and coming system
such as Trenton is now working out.
This latter could be worked out in
connection with u re-valuatian OF
tax ratabes that would give the city
n greater margin of bonding, and ut
the same time reduce the percentage
Of the tax rate so that taxpayers
would pay no more per capita than
at present.
The local committee was composed
of Mayor e. j. Moonan, Commissioner
Charles A. Malloy; Andrew Foltz and
Philip J. Faherty, of the LAMBERT
vile Pottery Company; Clyde Il.
Murray and Fred. W. BONNER, of
the I,ambcrtville Rubber Company;
Nelson Rittenhouse. v, A, Woodward
and Gordon Cooper
The tract of land most favorably
considered for the housing develop
ment was the Woodward farm lying
along the ridge behind the baseball
park and fronting on York Road. The
plan proposed by the New York de-
velopers was to form company OF
local people, thus raising half the
funds for purchasing the land and
building the houses. This company
to be Incorporated and bonds issued
to cover the entire project, with the
New York people buying half the
| bonds.
The local committee took the
plans under consideration with the
agreement for meeting Monday,
June 25, for final consideration. In
the meantime il was decided TO inves-
tigate every angle Of the possibilities
so that u more intelligent consider
alton coul be given.
At this subsequent meeting of the
above named committee, NJ. w.
Flock representative of the Tele-
phone Company, was present in con-
nection with the demand for better

dent Coolidge. has appointed a spe-
cial commission to investigate the
question of releasing political pris-
oners still in penitentiaries, it was

Gigantic Murder Ring Uncovered by New York Police
CHIEF VOLLMER
TAKING THRILL
FROM /. A. LIFE
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.-Maybc
the sensation hunters are going to
be deprived of their daily local bank
robbery or weekly murder. Things
don t look so bright for them today
with Chief of Police Nollmer's re-
port before the public.
The report indicates that since
last September the number of ar
rests made here have materially III
creased, in fact the total breaks pre-
vious records.
On the other hand, the number of
crimes does not seem to have de-
creased. Some kinds, automobile
thcfts, for instance, have been great
er in number than heretofore. In
this day and age, when everybody
has a car. the criminal world can t
be without its luXurics, the report
shows.
That Chief Nollmer has the de-
partment functioning at higher de-
gree of efficiency than ever before
is shown in that 1908 arrests were
made since September. which is
greater than in any previous period.
Only 1876 crimes were reported dur
ing that time.
Gambling, delinquency, conducting
lotteries, drunkenness, selling drugs
and prohibition violation cause the
most number of persons to go to

Who Killed the
City's Official
Mule?

Heaven help the youngster
who killed the city's mule yes
terday, if the city dads or the
police department can get hold
of him. A mule is mule, and
supposed to be particularly
tough, but no self-respecting
mule can stand up against a
fullisade of seven bullets, even
if they be only 90 calibre.
The mule was "a particular
friend of Charlie Pitzer and
pike Dyer, and the former
stated this morning he was a
first-class worker. There was
considerable grief and anger
expressed around the city
pumping plant when "Pike'
found the mule bullet-ridden
corpse yesterday afternoon.
Insinuations by City Clerk
Loofbourow that Pitzer was the
man behind the gun, so that he
could sell another mule to the
city, were Indignantly denied
by him this. morning. Funeral
arrangements have not yet been
completed, other than to en-
gage Policeman Deaton to de-
liver the funeral Grafton.
