that this has not been a very Merry
Christmas or Happy New Year for
me, since you know what have gone
through the last twelve months, but
Friends want to express myself thru

This has been one of the Merriest
Christmases that have ever expert

few words at this time:
"This old world we're living in, is
mighty hard to beat,
You get Thorn with every Rose,
But amt the Roses sWeet?"
1t would be useless for me to wish you
an abundance Of wealth in terms of
Dollars and Cents, but do wish you
something still better and that is
Happy and Pleasant year through

FEDERAL BLDG.
MONEY COMING
Omnibus Bill for Appropriations
Seems Certain of Passage by
Next Congress.
POST OFFICE BADLY NEEDED

According to recent reports from
Washington it seems almost certain
that an omnibus appropriation bill will
be passed by the mex Congress, to pro-
vide the money necessary for the cree
ton of more than a score of Federal
buildings throughout the country.
Included in the list is the building for
Pleasantville, the request for which
was made by Congressman Isaac
Bacharach several months ago. The
local building and the site for the
same, in which the Post Office would
be located, is $4,000.
The demand for construction of
these new buildings has been steadily
growing more insistent since 1913,
when the last omnibus public building
bill was passed. If those desiring pas
sage of the bill are able to get it be-
fore the House for a vote at the COM
ing session of congress, it will be pass
ed by an overwhelming vote that can
not be halted by the expected combin-
ed opposition of the administration,
the budget director, the chairman of
the House appropriations committee,
and other administrative leaders and
Treasury "watchdogs" who have block
ed it for ten years.
The cities of New Jersey for which
new Or improved buildings see most
certain to be provided are Atlantic
City, Camden, Paterson, Perth Amboy,
and Trenton. Urgent recommends
tions for these projects were made to
the last Congress in a joint message
of the Postmaster General and the
Secretary of the Treasury, and bills
embodying these recommendations
were introduced by the interested Con-
gresham for each city except Pater-
son.
In addition to these projects recon-
mended by the Post Office and Treas
ury departments as most urgent, bills
were introduced providing for Federal
construction at Vineland, Millville,
Montclair, Newark, Red Bank; East
Orange, Kesrney, Woodbury., Salem,
Princeton, Haddonfield, Bloomfield,
Summit, Bayonne, Pleasantville, Glou-
cester City, Phillipsburg, Englewood
and Boonton.

WANT ACTION ON
new STATE ROAD
Citizens Pushing Movement for
Construction of Route Lead
ing Through This City.
SHORT ROUTE TO SHORE.

Citizens along the proposed Haddon-
field, Blue Anchor, Pleasantville, At
lantic City state road are getting busy
to have the State Highway Commits
sion proceed with the construction of
the road authorized by the last Legis-
lature. Chapter III of the Laws of
1923 adds to the State Highway Sys-
tenn a route from the entrance of the
Delaware River Bridge, in Camden,
out Haddon avenue TO Haddonfeld,
thence on through Gibbsboro and West
Berlin to Berlin, where it crosses the
White Horse pike. Chapter POI pro
vides for carrying this new State route
on to Blue Anchor and from there in
the most direct line through Folsom
and Weymouth to Mays Landing,
where connection is made with the
improved State road that runs through
Washington avenue, P~leasantyille, in
to Atlantic City.
The advantages claimed for this
route, already provided for by the
Legislature, over the Black Horse Oh
other proposed routes, is that it is the
shortest way to the shore. The esti
mated distance by this route from
Camden to Atlantic City is 56a miles
which is shorter than the White Horse
pike.
1t is also claimed for it that it shor-
tens the road to Ocean City by eleven
miles, an advantage to travellers to all
the coast resorts south of Ocean City
By constructing this road, laying il
out on an air line from Blue Anchor
to Mays Landing, much new territory
will be opened to settlement and i'm
provement. 1t will afford much-need
ed facilities for getting the products
of the farms and forests of that region
to market. The counties of Camden
and Atlantic doubtless will build trib
utary or lateral roads. connecting viii
BY routing traffic to the shore ont
