TROUBLE OVER
ALMSHOUSE NOW
Bill to Equalize Expenses Intro
duced at Trenton Excites At
lantic City Officials.
F~reehoIders Want 1t

The ire OF officials of Atlantic City
has been aroused over a bill which
has made its appearance at Trenton
TO cause municipalities to bear the
expense of maintaining the County
Almshouse, at Smiths Landing. While
the comment on the bill seems to in
dictate that a large burden will be
placed on Atlantic City, If the bill be-
m a law, yet an analysis of the
facts seem to indicate that the city
OF Atlantic City has been getting off
pretty easy lately, so far as the aims
house expense is concerned. 1t is not
paying anything toward the reduction
of the bonded Indebtedness.
1t is said that when the old frame
almshouse became too small and d.
lapidated to accommodate the unfor-
tunate poor people of the county, it
was decided to erect a more commo-
dious place in which TO care for them.
At that time Atlantic City wanted a
large building erected and said it
would bear its share of the expense.
Later the city decided to board its
poor only, paying a weekly rate for
the board, and let the rest of the
county shoulder the expenses of bond
interest, etc. Other county munich
palities seeing what Atlantic City was
doing, did likewise, so that It came to
pass that the smaller municipalities
We're maintaining a place where the
larger ones could board their poor at
a small weekly rate. Pleasantville
recently decided to also start to board
its poor.
The Board Of Freeholders then de-
eided to have a bill enacted which
would compel all municipalities to pay
their pro~portionate share of maintain
ance of the building. Atlantic City is
now paying, it is said, approximately
$1,000 a year for its poor at the
county institution. This, in bulk, is a
large sum of money. but when ana
lyzed il is the yearly board of 30 peo-
pie. Who would take 40 people to
board for $1,000 a year. with food
n coal at the present exhorbitant
prices? Then include the upkeep OF
a building, laundry, medicines. some
clothing and other things, beside Just
enough food to satisfy hunger. The
poor are always with US and must be
lproyided. for by those who are more
foftuhate. II not Just. however
that the poor of one municipality
should cost another municipality more
than its just proportion of expense
Atlantic City is still a part of Atlantic
County and should pay for the upkeeu
of all county buildings.

SPEED Limit LAW
EXPECTED To PASS
Council Will Probably Consider
New Ordinance on First Read
ing Monday Night.

City Council will meet in regular
session next Monday night, and at
that meeting it is expected that the
new ordinance to regulate the speed
of express trains through the city will
come up for it's first, and possibly for
it's second, reading. Councilman Ste
phenson announced recently that the
ordinance would appear at that time.
The Finance Committee of Council
has had several conferences on the
appropriation ordinance for this year,
and if the Board of School Estimates
has its years budget ready for Coun-
Gil, then the city appropriation ordi-
n will probably come up for its
first reading Monday night. Much
interest attaches TO the report of the
Board of School Estimates this time
because of the fact that an advance
in teachers salaries is probable. If
this is placed in the school budget
this veal a considerable sum will be
required to be raised for school pur-
poses.
In the First Ward, particularly. the
announcement of the School Board is
awaited with great interest to see how
they treat the suggestion of Council
man Stephenson regarding a new
school building for Leeds avenue. He
openly informed the Board of Educa.
ton recently at a conference with
City Council, that if the Board on Edu-
cation would suggest something to be
done that Council was in a receptive
mood to consider it this year. His
suggestion was a new four room bull
ding in place of the present school
house there.

GRADE PUPILS
ARE COMMENDED
Demonstration in Composition
Writing Given by Scholars of
School Number One.
Instr uctors As Judges

County Superintendent H. NJ. Cress-
man, County Helping Teacher Cora
Schaible and Supervisors from Vent
nor, Hammonton, Egg Harbor, Pleas
antyille. Mays Landing, Minotola, and
the principals and teachers from vari-
Gus parts of the county were in atten-
dance at a meeting of the Supervisors
and Principals Association, which met
in Pleasantville on Tuesday of this
week.
This body was invited by Superin-
tendent Sullivan to witness a demon
stration in the teaching of Compost
ton Writing" to the Eighth grade in
School No. l.
The. teacher of English in that
school is Miss Alice Griffith. Pleas
antville is to be congratulated on hav-
ing in its teaching staff a teacher of
such marked ability and personality
as Miss Griffith. Her work was so
excellent hat the Association unani-
mously voted their appreciation of so
profitable and enjoyable lesson, and
asked that their gratitude be convey
ed to Miss Griffith and her responsive
class of boys and girls.
The work was a study Of the life
and work of Jean Francis Millet. A
number of his works of art, including
the Angelus and the Cleaners, were
placed at the pupils disposal and a
thorough discussion ensued. The re-
sponsiyeness of the pupils and the
enthusiasm and intensified prepare
ton on the part of Miss Griffith is
especially characteristic of the work
going on in the schools of our city.
This demonstration, as well as proceed
ing ones, was not only immensely in
teresting but a source of help and in
SEPARATION to the teachers. The object
of this demonstration was to show to
the Supervising Principals and Princi-
pals OF the county just how much
value accrues from such work in the
schools. The teachers of Pleasant
vile schools put their best efforts
forth to make their work appear OF
hundred percent value,s and in SC
doing inspire others who witness this
work TO either initiate the same or to
present something that is equally as
good.
