BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

II is strange but true that the
man who will finance his business
ensibly and carefully, who will buy
and sell house with acumen and
wisdom. who will choose his bank
with meticulous care and guard his
personal financial affairs wit hthe
utmost skill, frequently throws
caution to the winds when consider
ing the raising and spending Of mon
ey for roads.
II is so pitifully easy TO arrange
t ohave someone else pay for a road!
A bond issue to run fifty years puts
the burden of paying on the men
and women who come after us. while
we use the road This is bad
enough. as matter Of unsound eco
Monies. but it is worse when the
money 80 raised is 50 unwisely eX-
pended as to produce Il road which
wears out long before the bonds be-
come due In such cases, and there
are many of them! the body
polite finds itself in the position OF
paying for roads which no longer
exist, and faced with the additional
necessity Of rebuilding the road and
maintaining it, as well as paying the
interest and finally the principal, on
the bonds which built roads which
wore out.

NATIONAL TAXATION POLICY

Golfers Weekly has presented for
discussion the national taxation
policy proposed by notable BUSH
ness leader and summarized below:
/. Taxes should be planned pri-
marily for their social effect.
2. Every person should be en-
couraged to earn and invest as much
money as possible during his life
time.
3, Large fortunes should be bro
ken up at death.
4. Abolish income surtaxes. They
discourage productive effort.
5. If we do this, tax-exempt Sc
eurities will have no special value
for tax lodging This would make
unnecessary the amendment against
tax exemption.
6. Put graduated tax on all
gifts and inheritanees, TO be com
puted on the amount received by
each beneficiary.
z. Exempt small gifts and lega-
cles; tax lightly up to $25O,OOO;
leeaeies of Sl0,0O0,000 might pay
as heavily as so per cent.
s. To prevent sudden depreciation
in values, legatees Of large sums
should be given 10 to Is years in
which to pay the tax.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AT LAST
REALIZED FOR LAMBERTVILLE
Projected by Leading Business Men and Prom
Uses to Be an Epoch in CHy'S History.

Following the continued agitation
by this paper for relief in the hous-
ing shortage, F. A. Woodward makes
the announcement in this issue that
the Woodward Farms Tract along
the York Road and overlooking
North Main street has been sub
divided into building lots and is now
being put on the market. Mr..
Woodward was one of the several
local business men who met in con-
ference with the City Commissioners
this summer in an effort to secure
more houses for the city. These
conferences were arranged by this
paper.
Three New York men met with
the committee in an effort to form
company for an ambitious de-
velopment that involved an outlay
of half a million dollars Their pro-
posal was for the organization of
a local stock company who would
subscribe s250,000 and they would
float bonds for another S250000.
But representatives of the Lambert
vile Pottery Co. and Lambertville
Rubber Co. believed that this was
too great an undertaking. The opin-
ion of the local committee was that
a development that would build the
houses as buyers demanded them
would be wiser and safer than I'M
dertaking an ambitious development
of 100 houses at one stroke,
At that time it was unanimously
agreed that the Woodward Farms
tract offered the best location for
such development that could be
found in the city. 1t has one of the
most commanding locations in this
section, fronting for several hundred
yards along York Road and over
looking the city and the river from
the other side.
The publicity given the PROPOSE
ton by this paper attracted atten-
ton far beyond the limits of this
city, and Mr.. Woodward has now
completed arrangements whereby
modern homes can be supplied to fit
the purse of any buyer.
Over thousand lots have been
laid out ON the property. Grant
Davis, county engineer, has made
the surveys, with streets running
East and West as extensions of
jefferson, Delaware and Perry SITS.
Around the entire tract 60-foot
boulevard. has been laid out, connec-
ting with the York Road. Several
acres of woodland along this boule-
ward is reserved for park purposes.
thus assuring the property of

PREDICTS WATER POWER
DEVELOPMENT OF DELAW ARE

Greater development of the Sus-
quehanna and Delaware Rivers as
sources Of power to turn machinery
and give light is predicted by George
w. Edmonds, Representative in Con
gress from Philadelphia, in the cur
rent issue of Engineers and Engin-
ecring.
Mir. Edmonds draws an interest
ing comparison with water power
development in Japan, as follows;
81 was in Japan in 1915 and found
that they utilized in little Japan as
many horse power of water power as
we did in this country, and that they
had utilized over fifty per cent. Of
their prospective water power, while
we had used only about ten per cent
Of our prospective water power.
I'VE have, of course, a great as
set in our water power. Even rivers
like the Delaware can develop power.
The Susquehanna can develop more
than it does today, and believe
that development is coming.
To-day most mines in the newer
districts obtain power from central
electric plants. In the older dis
lricts they are rapidly becoming
electrified, and most of that cleo
tricity is developed from water pow
er."
DR.. Robert il. Fernald, president
of the club, and engineer member of
the Pennsylvania Giant Power Sur
yey Board, recently named by Gov
ernor Pinchot, in the same issue Of
Engineers and Engineering, urges
engineers to develop light and power
from coal mines for central stations
and super-zone plants, electrification
of the railroads weherever possible
and supply of power in large mea-
sure from super-power zone plants.

! 1t was intended that the first 100
/ lots, some of them over $50 feet in
| depth, would be sold for 500, But
already over half that number have
been contracted for by those who got
wind of the development before II
was publicly announced. Several
| leading citizens are seeking to get
friends to buy with them to assure
having good neighbors.
Electric lines have already been
surveyed across the property. Two
eight-inch wells are to be drilled to
furnish an independent water sup
ply. Arrangements have been made
whereby contractors will put up
houses as desired at prices to suit
the buyers pocketbooks. The Wood
ward Farms Co. will undertake the
entire construction of any home de-
sired, thus relieving the buyer of the
uncertainties of construction and
cost. Mortgages will be placed as
desired, by the company, and the
buyer enabled to pay in easy install
ments. Some of the lots will be
sold on terms as easy as $40 down
and $40 monthly.
F. A. Woodward is well known as
conservative business man. What
he undertakes can be assured as be-
ing safe. And the development is
being done by local man with local
capital. 1t means much more to the
community than if it were being
done by outside interests who would
care for nothing beyond securing
their profits.
We congratulate Mr.. Woodward
ON his industry and enterprise. We
bespeak a signal success in his pro
iect.
Already the Lambertville Rubber
CO. and the Lambertville Pottery
Co, have assured their cooper
alton. The great number of out
side workmen who have been
brought to this city by the Rubber
Co. are for the most part seeking
homes. This is their chance. 1t is
also the chance of local business
men to assist in increasing the pop
ulation of the city, and thus increas-
ing the prosperity of the entire
community
Mr.. Woodward assures us that
sympathetic cooperation will be
given all who desire to own their
homes. He axes pride in this de
velopment that assures future home
owners of living conditions that are
not only modern and comfortable,
but surrounded by homes and parks
that make il better place to live

Lambertvilie Folks
Fortunate ia a
Pure Wafer Supply

1t has been falsely reported that
the State Board of Health has or
dered the Lambertyille Water Com
pany to clean its filters. Not only
is this untrue, but as a matter of
fact the water supply in this city
is of the purest spring water.
During the latter part of the sum-
mer there was an unsavory smell
to the water, but this was due simp-
ly to the common growth of vege-
table matter in the three reservoirs.
This begins to die down late in the
summer, and that causes the smell.
Chemical analysis of the water have
proven that it is absolutely pure.
As the reservoirs are fed by springs
il assures Lambertville of pure
water supply that would be impos-
sible if the water had to be pumped
from the river as is done in other
cities.
Pennsylvania towns have had the
same complaints of water, but the
health authorities there also declared
il did not impair the purity of the
water. A statement of this was
made recently by Fred. C. Dunlap,
Chief of the Bureau of Water. He
said This is not new condition
but one which is experienced every
fall. The unpleasant taste is not
due to treatment at the filters, BUT
Is CAUSED BY DECAYING VEG
CITATION IN THE RIVER"
The purity of Lambertville's water
is unquestioned. The three reser-
voirs are supplied by springs; the
water passes thru two filter beds
100x60 feet, in the bottom of which
charcoal, gravel and sand, supported
by terra Gotta foundations, purify
the water completely. Chemical
treatment would only make the
water taste bad.
In view of the healthful purity
of the water, it is much better to
have such a supply than to pump it
from the river, where chemical
treatment could never make it so
wholesome.
