Christian Endeavor
Rally At Lily Lake
Reports Received From Des
Moines Convention-Mount
Pleasant Wins Flag.

A splendid rally of the County Chris
tan Endeayor Union, was held on Fri
day last at Lily Lake, under the direc-
ton of County President George w.
Mathis. 1t had been planned to hold
a picnic in the afternoon, but the
weather was so stormy, that that part
was given up. The evening rally was
in the pavilion at Lily Lake, and a
splendid crowd was in attendance.
A spirited song service was led by
President Mathis, followed by prayer
by Rev. w. E. Pettet, and the Scrip
ture reading by Rev. Rider. The
speaker of the evening was Miss Clara
Jeffries, of Atlantic City, who gave a
very graphic and interesting account
of her trip to Des Moines, Iowa, to at
tend the International C. E. Conven-
ton, and also told of the splendid and
enthusiastic gatherings. She outlined
a number of the addresses, told OF the
various meetings she attended, and OF
the parade of the e~ndeayorers, IN
which she took part. The next con-
vention will be held in 1925, at Port
lamb Oregon. A tentative promise FOR
the 1927 Convention was made for
atlantic City.
On the roll call for the flag, the Mt
Pleasant Society had the largest num-
Der present, and by virtue of winning
it three times, the flag is now theirs.
At the next rally a beautiful e. r.
Shield will be contested for, and the
details of the contest will be given
after the next Executive Committee
meeting.
A vote of thanks was extended 10
Miss Jeffries for her excellent report,
and to Mr.. Kesler for the use OF the
pavilion. The meeting adjourned
with all singing God be with you TIL
we meet again." and the Mizpah enc

BELL COMPANY
PLANS HALTED
Laying of Conduits Stopped Be-
cause No Permits Were Taken
Gut for Such Work.
WANT PHONE SERVICE

At the meeting of City Council on
Monday night, Councilman Edward Ste
phenson reported that he had ordered
the work of the Bell Telephone Com
pany stopped On city streets, where
wood conduits were being installed,
because no permits had been applied
for and granted prior to the COM
mencement of such work. This ac-
ton was taken because of a ruling of
the Bell Company, which heretofore
has prohibited local telephone operat-
ors from giving locations of fires to
members Of the volunteer fire compa-
ny when an alarm of fire sounds.
Councilman Stephenson stated that
his opinion was that the Bell Compa-
ny was not entitled to any courtesy
from the city, when it was not willing
to reciprocate in the matter of courte-
sy. He stated that he would oppose
reciprocity until such time as the Com
pany would grant the privilege of its
operators giving fire locations to in
quiring volunteers.
The City Clerk was instructed to
communicate with the commercial de-
partment of the Bell Company, asking
that the courtesy of operators giving
locations of fires be extended to the
volunteer iremen of this city.
1t vas reported that a fence had
been erected on a part of Broad street
north of Park avenue, and the City
Clerk was instructed to make an in
vestigation to ascertain whether or
not that street had really ever been
dedicated as such, or whether it was
still private property.
A bill was received from the Allan
tic Garage Company for repairs to an
automobile belonging to William l..
Garrison, amounting to S75, for dam
ages alleged to have been negligently
done by fire apparatus. The bill was
referred to the City Solicitor to make
an investigation and report back.
The Street Committee was author
lied t6 lofty the contractor to lay
sidewalks and curbs in locations deem
ed necessary and where h proper
notice had already been given to prop
erty owners to comply with the city
ordinance.
The bid recently submitted by Ed
ward Goehler for laying sidewalks and
curbs was laid over until the next
meeting OF Council at the request OF
the Street Committee.
On recommendation of the Sewer
age Committee, Sewerage Superinten-
dent Ernest Burch was granted a va
cation from August 81 until Septem-
Der l.
The City Clerk was instructed to
notify the Atlantic City Electric Com
pany to move an so watt light on
West Mulberry avenue nearer to Main
Street.
Councilman Peck, >for the fire com
mittee. requested the installation OF a
fire plug on Bayyiew Avenue, between
the Shore Fast Line and Doughty
Road. The City Clerk was ordered
to notify the Water Company to in
stall the plug.
Commenting On a communication
from the Atlantic City Pageant Com
mittee, Councilman Stephenson NOV
ed that the Pleasantville Chamber OF
Commerce be given a letter OF thanks
for their interest in having an entry
in the Pageant this year as an adver-
tisement of the city. The City Clerk
was instructed to send the letter to
the Chamber.

than ever before; structural steel was
in greater demand than at any time
since the war, and brick production was
of large proportions. The general
tendency of prices for all of these four
principal building materials was up
ward.
In connection with labor, the tend
ency towards higher wages and full
utilization of the available supply of
skilled workers has been noted above.
The shortage in many trades, how
ever has aroused employers and the
public TO the need of training skilled
mechanics, and encouraging progress
has been made in many cities in the
development of intensive training
schools and apprenticeship courses.
Regulation Of Building.
The rapid spread of coming and city
planning in American cities has been
the most striking develop nent in mu-
nipical regulation Of building during
the past two years. This augurs well
for more stable property values and an
altogether more dependable and eff
cient utilization of all forms OF con-
struction, public and private, in Ameri-
The American Construction Council,
with Franklin D. Roosevelt as its head,
was organized in June, 1922. Every
element of the construction industry is
represented in this council. As yet it
is too early to judge the effect Of this
organization. In addition a number
Of local building congresses have been
formed, which give promise of bringing
about cooperation in reducing seasonal
unemployment, training apprentices, and
wiping out wasteful and dishonest prac-
tees of all kinds.
The success of the agitation for fail
letting of highway contracts has been
especially encouraging. The great at
tention which has been forcused on the
problems Of irregular operations in
the building industry is beginning 10
have a real effect, and represents but
one side of the campaign for elimina-
ton Of waste in building. This cam
paign bids fair 10 remove the stigma
that has been attached TO building as
an inefficient industry, but the task
is ENORMOUS.

centage was about the same in 1921,
while il was only % per cent in 1920
and SO per cent in 1919. In addition
to the tendency towards rather ex-
pcnsive types of residential construc-
ton. as noted above, Labor Depart
ment study covering the first six
months of the year indicates an un-
usually large percentage. Public
works and utilities ranked second to
residential construction, according to
the Dodge figures, with about Is per
cent of the total. A number Of large
terminal developments are being UNI
dertaken by railways. Construction
of business buildings picked up during
the year, and il is probable that it will
continue active during 1923. Industrial
buildings contracted for in 1922 were
substantially higher than in 1921. yet
only little more than those Of 1920.
With low prices for agricultural
products. building on farms has been
completely inactive and will probably re-
main so for another year. On the other
hand. educational, recreatiGnal and in
stitutional building has been active dur
ing 1922.
The general price tendencies OF build
ing materials. wholesale and retail, may
be gathered from the following table:

Bankers are keeping close TO shore

with considerable numbers in the in

Settlers Make Appeal
Continued from page y.

Drainage work on the project
the committee points out" is NOV
ing forward and as fast as the gov
ernment force can push il. One dredge
is now working and as socn as the ell
ectric power lie can be completed. the
larger electric dredge will be started
near Wilder. \ third is being over
hauled but is expected to begin work
the las, OF May. However. with these
three dredges working to their fullest
capacity. they will be unable to take
care OF increasing seepage.
THE original plan of the govern
ment to pay for drainage as the work
was done is a good one and would
have taken care of the eepag as il
appeared but for the delay of the pro-
ject settlers in paying their assess
ments. As a result OF this delay. we
are two years behind the drainage pro-
gram and the cost is greater than to
have borrowed the money and paid in
terest on it.
According to a letter written by
Project Manager ]. B. Bond to the
committee, it will be one year before
the dredges now working can possibly
begin work in Deer Flat. However.
sufficient funds can be collected to
guarantee the operation. the reclama-
