P. H. S. Takes Game
From Resort Rivals
Snatched Victory From Apparent
Defeat After Extra Period of
Play Because of Tie.

In an extra five minute period, P. H.
S. won a hard fought game from
Ocean City H. S. on the foreign court,
Wednesday night, by score of 30-23.
The game was nip and tuck through
out, Ocean City H. S. holding a two
point lead, 13-11, at end of first half.
P. H. S. held a two-point lead two and
a-half minutes before the second peri
cd was over. However, o. c. H. S.
was not to be denied, and T. Adams
tied up the score by sending one thru
the net from the centre of the floor,
making score 22-22. S. Adams. who
was having a good night from the foul
line, broke the ice in the extra FIVE
minute period. by tossing in a foul
goal, making score 23-22, in favor of
o. C. H. S. The lead was short-lived,
however, as Clark. Painter and OFT
broke through O.. c. H. SIS five man
defense for four field goals in three
minutes of play; final score 1913, in
favor of P. H. S. The passing of p. H.
S. was so fast during the extra period,
o. c. H. S. seldom saw the ball until
it was brought back to the centre of
the floor for the tap off. The passing
and team work of P. H. s. was far
superior TO that of Ocean City H. s.

PROFESSIONAL ORCHESTRA.

The management of the musical re-

Legion at the High School Auditorium
on April 18th, 18th and 14th, have de-
cided TO change the name of the show
from Torpbem Revue to Chen Chaud,
a French designation which the mem

also been decided to engage a large
professional orchestra for the instru-
mental musical numbers. Costumes
have already been ordered for the
cast, which will include fifty well
known local artists, some of whom
performed while with the A. E. F., in
France.
Rehearsals are now being held reg
ularly and the artists are showing
much merit. They were carefully Sc
lected for the several parts assigned
to them, and each n is developing
into a first class performer. The man
agement is sparing no expense to give
the show a good setting, and it's sue

it awaiting them.

Congressman Asked
Ia Aid Fishermen
Petition Filed Asking for Raising
of New Bridge Span Installed
By Reading Railroad.

To forestall the blocking of fishing
and pleasure boat traffic on Beach
Thoroughfare by the new bridge span
being installed by the Reading Rail
road a number of prominent boatmen
have signed and forwarded a petition
to Congressman Bacharach asking him
to cooperate, through the Var De
partment, for their relief.
The bridge span, recently set in
place across the Beach Thoroughfare,
is so low at high water, that there is
a scant two feet between the bridge
and water level. This forms a com
plete blockade for boats and small
crafts that constantly ply up and down
the Thoroughfare.
The only provision officially for the
opening and closing of the bridges is
once every fifty minutes. This cause
delay to craft unable to pass under the
bridge.
Following is the text of the petit
ton:
1--WE, the undersigned, do hereby
petition you to compel the Atlantic
City Railroad Company to raise their
new t~restle, running into Atlantic City
which is now under construction, to a
height of eight feet above normal high
water. According to the present plan
there is only a two-foot clearance at
high water. closing the inland water
way at this point to all traffic during
the high water period. This trestle at
it's present stage will be the lowest
along the entire inland waterway sys-
tenn"

CITY
BUDGET PASSED
$1,000 for Use of Schools Add
ed Before Final Action Taken
on Wednesday Night.
PROVIDE FOR ROAD SCRAPER

When the Absecon City Council net
on Wednesday night, there was n
objection made 10 the annual budget,
carrying the sum OF s19,701.51 for the
use of the city during the present is
cal year. The budget was put through
second and third readings. after the
sum OF s11,0 0 had been added as the
sum reported by the Board of School
Estimates as required this year for
school purposes. This is the same
amount as appropriated last year for
schools.
So many people have suffered the
loss of valuable chickens of late, by
having them killed by stray dogs, that
some drastic action is advised to rid
the city of some of the CANNES. One
thing that is done this year is the
leyying a tax on dogs by the city as
SCISSORS, under the provisions of the
state law providing for the taxing of
all dogs. The money derived from
such tax is to be kept il a fund for
~repaying loss to chicken owners who
make and prove their claims before
municipal governing bodies. The law
provides that all such claims shall be
paid in the order in which they are
received, and if there is insufficient
funds raised by the special dog tax 10
pay all the claims filed, then the resi-
due is to be raised the following year
by a direct tax for that purpose.
On Wednesday night claims amount
ing to $S4 were filed with Council as
the result of recent chicken killing by
dogs. AS there is no available fund
now. and as the tax just recently lev
led will not come in until later in the
year, and also as the law is a new
and somewhat complicated, the
whole matter was referred to City
Solicitor Abbott for his decision.
The committee to which wal REFER
ed the sign question made a partial
report on Wednesday night. The sign
representatives are favorable to the
passage of a new ordinance regulating
the location Of all future signs, and
placing the power with Council as TO
designations for sign locations and
fixing a suitable license fee, and pre-
scTibing all other regulations regard
ing the advertising sign proposition.
The eommittee q continne5 e1dAs<
Is likely that d new nee along
the lines suggested W re introduced
soon.
Council authorized the purchase OF
a road scraper for the city. Hereto
fore the city has been using the scra-
per belonging to Atlantic County when
that was available. Sometimes the
County seraper was in use by the
County. road supervisor when it was
needed here, and also the County
scraper was a six horse machine and
had an eight foot blade. 1t was really
too large for local use. The scraper
contracted for is a four horse machine
and only has a six foot blade. This
machine can be utilized on some
streets that were too narrow for the
County scraper to work satisfactorily.
It is estimated that the smaller ma
chine will pay for itself inside of two
years, having cos a trif1e less than
$500.
