Woodland Avenues Occupies
One Foot of Highway.

An obstruction of the highway at
the corner of Linden and Woodland
was ordered removed by City
Council on Monday night. An investi-

the Northwest corner of the street
intersection, the curb and sidewalk
extends one foot into the highway.
The lines were given, it was stated,
by former City Engineer Samuel
Clark. The City Clerk was instructed
to communicate with Engineer Clark
and give him thirty days in which TO
make a change in the line of the side
walk and curb at the point designated,
otherwise the work to be ordered done
bv the city and the expense incurred
charged to Clark.
Another obstruction was reported on
West Merton avenue, where the CARR
son property now occupies four feet of
the sidewalk, extending a distance of
40 feet back from Main street. The
City Clerk was instructed to send a
letter to this property owner, notify
ing him to move his property line
back from the sidewalk, or the work
would be done by the city and the ex-
pense charged against him.

VOTE
TO MISS BO|CE
Contest Closed Saturday After
Spirited Voting for Favorites
By Many Friends.
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED

When the contest closed last Satur-
day afternoon, at five O'Clock, for the
contestants who desired to enter in
competition for the honor OF repre-
senting Pleasantville in the Atlantic
City Fall Pageant, the votes polled for
Miss Anna Lorine Boice gave her a
big lead over the others in the con-
test. Her total vote was 76,050. Next
came Miss Alberta Smith, with 61,S70
votes. Closely following came Miss
Frances Lawson with 61,010 votes.
Then came Miss Ethel NJ. Bradley
with $1,000 votes, and following came
Mrs. Malinda Fennell with 1880.
Each one of these highest contestants
has at one time or another been in the
lead while the contest was going on.
These five ladies will nov appear
before five judges at Lily Lake Park.
The judges@wilI decide which n OF
the five is to be officially designated
to represent this city as Miss Pleas
antville". The number of votes a con-
testant received has no bearing on the
decision of the judges. The voting
contest was held merely to ascertain,
by public sentiment which ladies
should appear before the judges. Al
ter the judges pick the representative
of the city, then the remaining -four
ladies will be officially designated as
aides to the winner. The Chamber OF
Commerce committee will look after
all the details of having the ladies
properly entered in the rolling chair
parade and the Bathers' Revue.
In presenting the five ladies to the
judges there have been selected ladies
who will be a great credit to Pleasant
Vile in the Pageant. The judges have
an arduous task before them, as any
one OF the five high contestants would
do honor to the city if selected. They
are pretty ladies. and Pleasantville
need have-n no fear of their entries in
the Pageant, when compared to Others
who come from different parts Of the
country.
The standing OF the contestants a
the closing hour was as follows:

Black Horse Pike
To Relieve Traffic
Proposed New State Highway
Would Lessen Congestion on
White Horse Pike.

If the present plans of citizens of
Atlantic, Camden and Gloucester
Counties materialize, there will short
ly be a new State highway traversing
South Jersey, from the Delaware river
at Camden, to the Atlantic Ocean, at
Atlantic City. The proposed highway
would run through the heart of Pleas
ANTILLES business section and relieve
Main street of a lot of traffic and con-
gestion.
Last week over three hundred citi-
zens of the three counties held a meet
ing at Blackwood and endorsed such
a proposition, which already has the
approval of the Boards of Freeholders
of Gloucester and Camden Counties.
The new route would be officially
designated as the BLACK Horse Pike"
and would run from Camden by way
of Williamstown and Mays Landing to
Washington avenue, this city, and
thence via Franklin avenue to the Al
.bany avenue boulevard.
1t is commended that such a state
highway would relieve the much talk
ed of congestion on the White Horse
Pike, and that such a new road would
do away with the necessity of widen
ing White Horse Pike or establishing
a parallel road to that pike, as has
been talked of. The proposed BLACK
Horse Pike is a shorter route from
Camden TO the shore than the old
White Horse Pike, and would be a
shorter route from the new Delaware
River Bridge.
It was decided at the meeting to
hold another conference of. citizens of
Atlantic, Camden and Gloucester
Counties on September 22nd and urge
the necessity of the project upon the
State Highway Commission. The mat
ter will be presented to the next Leg
islature for action.

Championship Flag
Won By Egg Harbor
Sundays Game Placed Wine City
Team in Lead for County
League Pennant.

The championship pennant for the
Atlantic County Baseball League will
go TO Egg Harbor City this season.
This was finally decided when Sun
days game was played at Egg Harbor
and Melrose team was defeated by a
score of GO. This gives Egg Harbor
Is games for the season, with 4 lost.
Melrose has won 13 games and lost 6
so far, with a remaining game to be
played with Hammonton next Sunday.
Hammonton has won II and lost 7 up
to this time. The Sunday game TO be
played will determine whether Ham
monitor or Melrose gets second honors
for the 1923 season. This game may
result in the teams being tie. in which
event there would probably be a play
off game to decide second and third
honors.
