Rotary Club Activities

The Salem Rotary Club held the
regular weekly luncheon in their
rooms in the Y. M. C. A. The club
has two important projects which are
moving forward. One is the organiza-
ton of a boys band that will be iden-
tilted with the Boy Scouts, but over
which the club will have supervision.
The club will bear the expense of
equipment of the band at an estimate
cost of $500. The instruments are to
be furnished by Wheeler G. Son. Prof.
Charles Glaspey, who has organized
many musical associations in Salem,
will recruit the young musicians and
instruct them.
The other project is the planting of
a huge tree in the front yard of the
Court House, which will be used as a
Christmas tree every year. The Christ
mas tree was so greatly appreciated
last winter that the club conceived the
idea of transplanting a real big n if

Saw Fire Pumper Work

A delegation of Penns Grove fire
department officials, consisting of
Chief David Johnson, Assistant Fred
A. Gentiue, Engineer Frank Rose and
Charles B. Norton were guests of the
Salem fire departmnt, on Wednesday,
during the underwriters test of their
new 500 gallon Hale pumper. The
apparatus exceeded the guarantee Of
500 gallons by 90 gallons. The North
Bend apparatus also went thru a test
but the highest they could attain was
$50 gallons under the high pressure
test.
The purchase of the above pumper
at $4,000 was due to a strong public
demand caused by the several recent
big rlasr works confagration.
The Fenns Grove company still as
the best piece of fire apparatus in the
county in the American La France
which will pump 900 gallons a minute.

Road Bonds
Taken At Home
Penns Grove National Bank Gave
Good Premium

Penns Grove Borough Council, at
their meeting last Tuesday evening,
did big business in a short time. The
bids for the $4,000, 5 percent, ten
year, street improvement bonds were
opened. The Penns Grove National
Bank bid was highest, 1925 premium
for the whole lot. Laid, Bissell &
Mead, Wilmington, was the only other
bidder. They offered $50 premium.
Councilman Sailor, Long, Dolbow
and Gillison were present and Mayor
Kidd presided.
Mr.. Sailor, chairman of the COM
mittee on property, reported that a
local organization want an archway
built at the ferry entrance to the
Borough. He said the committee see
no need of such a structure to bear a
welcome message to tourists entering
our Borough. He recommended
against covering the floor Of the fire
mems room with carpet.
Mr.. Dolbow, on the water committee,
reported he had taken the matter of
connecting the Borough water system
with the DUPONT system at the Cove,
with C. D. Porch, manager of the Dye
Works, and he had consented to have
the connection made. This would have
been done sooner but for the death
of Capt. W. P. Wright, who was chair
mar of the committee.
There is a probability of a man
high up in dupont circles being elected
councilman to fill the vacancy caused
by Capt. Wright's death which will
help link the ties of cooperation be-
tween the Borough and the Company
and be a material benefit.
Treasurer D. P. Featherer reported
cash on hand, S7,452.19; license fees
and miscellaneous, $1,271.68; trust
fund, 5000; received from Recorder
D. V. Summerill from fines, S64; from

Judge Logue, of Cumberland County,
sat in court here Thursday at the re-
quest of Judge Mecum, to hear argu-
ment in the case of Earl B. Ewing,
trading as the Ewing Milling Com
pany, of Alloway, versus Frank
Schrier, J. Walter Pancoast and Sarah
j.. Pancoast, trading as Pancoast d
Schrier, a claim for a bill of COW
feed. The plaintiff was represented
by T. G. Hilliard and the defendants
by Washington and Mathews. Judge
Logue reserved his decision and papers
are to be filed.
In the widows pension court, Mrs.
Libro Falbo was granted S42 a month,
or seven dollars for each child.
Antonio Rogalia was brought be-
fore Judge Mecum in Special Sessions

State Enforcement Act. .Rogalia lives

tributor for William Lucko, who lives

County Court
Next Tuesday
Salem's Defaulting Treasurer
To Be Tried. Jurors To
Consider Law Breakers

County Prosecutor Beckley posi-
lively asserts that he will move the
trial of former City Treasurer Alfred
d. Mitchell at the term of court which
will open Tuesday, April II. Mitchells
trial will probably be among the first
of the criminal court which opens
Monday, April %.
1t was expected that he would be
tried last September when the Grand
Jury found three true bills against
him. When the case Vas carried over
people certainly expected to see it come
up in December term. The custom of
getting rid of cases of little impor-
lance before trying defendants charP-
ed with the more serious crimes was
the cause for keeping Mitchell so long
in Jail Prosecutor Beckley said that
in every term of court he lists enouoh
cases for a day to keep the jury busy,
but it has happened time and again
that cases could not be tried for one
reason or another and the jurors
found that they had been called back
to court for nothing. This sort of
thing was in a panel of jurors and in
both terms of court it was felt that
it would not be ri~ht to impose on
them further. That is why Mitchell
will most likely be tried early in the
term.
He was indicted on three charges:
Embezzlement, fraudulent conversion
and bringing stolen property into
Salem County.
Thus far the city has been able to
locate bonds to the amount of $27, 200.
A large number have been bought in
and about $4,000 have matured.
