Enlargement of the Doylestown
Fair Grounds-the revival Of which
institution last year was such n
popular SUGGESTS made possible
by the purchase of additional land.
Additional stable room will be pro-

will be erected to accommodate the
fancy goods exhibits.
A meeting of the directors was
held on Saturday last, in Doyles-
town, the local representative being
DR.. II. W Turner, of New Hope.
They decided to start the improve
ments ut once, so az to be ready
for the fair season when it arrives.
The present Doylestown Fair is
the outgrowth of the former Sole
bury Farmers Exhibit, which turned
into the -Hunterdon Exhibit in
1922 The Solebury Exhibit was
held at Solebury Deer Park for a
number Of years, arousing much To-
cal interest.

ASK REST ROOM
IN THIS CITY

There is now on foot movement
to secure rest room in Lambert
willie, for out-of-town shoppers while
in the city, or uptown or down
town people who are in the business
center.
Such an institution has been in
existence in Pennington for some
time, and its popularity is fully es-
tablished there.
1t is pointed out by the country
side folks that if they come in on
the 11.3S a. M, train from the Elem
ington railroad; the 11.50 from up
river points or the 1916 at New
Hope, all of which trains are being
more and more used by the women
shoppers in Lambertville, they have
no place TO stop for rest, or to
leave packages, unless they use the
railway stations, or intrude on some
friend Some of the newer shop
pers have few or no acquaintance
that they would like to run in"
upon informally, and they are es-
pecially handicapped.
Some of the up-river shoppers come
in on the 2.3S, but with the exception
of Stockton, they must wait for the
6.52 train to return home, which
often means wait somewhere.
The rest room, too, must be equip
ped with ordinary conveniences, and
properly warmed and lighted, so
that it may be used at any ordinary
hour of the day or evening, when
business places are open.
| Another suggestion that has been
made locally is that suitable camping
places should be provided for auto
mobile tourists, as is being done in
so many sections of the country. 1t
has been found that public camp
ing place, if good one, brings lots
of business to the towns where they
are located. and is a good advertise
ment for the town itself
Both these propositions are being
agitated at the present time, and
will be brought before the Lambert
vile Merchants Association at its
next meeting.

voter may sign as may petitions
as there are Commissioners to be
elected. Thus, as there are three
Commissioners to be elected for
Lambertville, each voter may sign
three petitions. AS this has been a
subject of argument, it is we'll to
quote from the Manual of Commits
sion Government: Each signer must
not, at the time of signing the
certificate, (petition) have signed
more certificates for candidates for
that office than there are places
to be filled in such office, and in
case an elector has signed two or
more conflicting certificates shall be
rejected"
There is much conjecture at present
as to the actual candidates who
will seek the office. T. J. Walker
has announced his candidacy but
has since said that he may with
draw. William Fields has expressed
his intention of running, but has
made no public statement. Walter F.
Hayhurst, Charles F. Holcombe,
Wallace p. Thornton and several
others are considering entering the
field, but it will not be possible
to accurately list the candidates UNI
til their petitions are in on the
10Th.

APRIL'S SNOW
FOOLkD EN- ALL

And the next day it showed!
And the day before travellers got
stuck in the muddy roads, which
they thought would be dried out by
the day following.
And the day itself was the last
day of March, when all the kitten
ish, freakish winter weather was
supposed to slide decorously into the
past.
Despite the dusty approaches, on
the southerly side, the famous mud
hole at the j. Pauch farm, on the
Stockton-Sergeantsville road, was a
busy place Sunday afternoon. A
huge moving van, loaded with house
hold goods en- route from Newark
to point on Pine Hill, west of Ser
geantsville, attempted the impossible
turning around on this road, and
stuck for some time in the Pauch
lane, with the wheels settled to the
axles in mud. The driver thought
he was on the wrong road, and at
tempted to turn his truck. Then he
was still more certain that he was
on the wrong road.
The first traveller held up at this
point by the truck, which appeared
about the size of "A state armory
as it blocked every inch of the mar
row roadway, remarked, what n
lonely spot to get stuck" Fifteen
minutes later a new arrival thought
there was fair in progress. Shov-
els, jacks, fence posts and power
full hitching rope, manned by what
appeared to be half the countryside,
eventually got the truck far enough
back into the Pauch lane to permit
other vehicles to pass by, and then
il continued to Sergeantsville. and
journeyed to Pine Hill by that route.
Several citizens, we'll posted on the
highway conditions in that section,
trailed along behind at a safe dis
lance, to see what else happened
to the truck before it reached its des-
tination.
The Stockton Sergeantsville road
is all travelable with the exception
of a few hundred yards adjoining
the Paueh place. 1t was the inten-
ton of the Delaware Township com
mittee to straighten the roadway at
this point, but the money has not
been available. 1t was expected
that the state would help build this
new section this Spring, but it is
now understood that this fund has
been used up in other parts of the
state. Something will have. to be
done on it before another winter, on
Sergeantsville will be the only vii
lage in Hunterdon county isolated
from the outside wonrd.
The snow of April first has set
the rehabilitation of the country
roads back a week in this section,
after passing through the worst wet
season that they have experienced
in ten or eleven years.

NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD BADLY
NEEDED IN HUNTERDON At ONCE

Prospects for the state of New
Jersey taking over the North and
South highway during the present
year do not seem very bright, ac-
cording to all reports. Although the
legislature designated this as a part
of the state highway system, the
commissioners do not hold forth any
encouragement that they will comply
with the mandate.
Money is being spent in and about
the large centers, to accommodate
the people of New York and Phila-
delphia, who wish to reach the sea-
shore and the mountains, that no
funds are available for rural work
The great need of state road
through Hunterdon county is appar-
ent even to many of the legislators
fro mthe Newark-Jersey City sec
ton, but the highway commission
is generous only with its interest,
which it expresses freely and often
for Hunterdon County folks.
Lambertville doesn't need so much
at the present time in the way of
roads, but it does need better con-
nections through the county. A real
road to Stockton, Sergeantsville and
points beyond is needed. There is
a good road from Stockton toRose-
mont, if it is kept in repair, but it
is the only good section north of this
city for number of miles.
A direct road from Pennington to
Clinton is needed even worse by

Service Commission will be on file
in all of the business offices of the
telephone company.
Goineident with the filing of the
new rates the telephone company
issud the following statement:
"Fhe present rates have been in
effect since 1920. At that time the
average investment per telephone in
the state was about $137. During the
past four years nearly 100000 tele-
phones have been added to the Sys-
tenn and because these new tele-
phones were installed at the price
levels following the war, the aver
age investment per telephone has
increased $40. The average invest
ment in 1923 was SLIT per tele-
phone, and by 1928 the average
will be 1925 per telephone.
During 1924 the telephone COM
pany will connect some 10000 tele-
phones and the net increase will be
about half that number.
During the coming five years
about 925,000 telephones will be con-
nected in Pennsylvania which is
100000 more telephones than there
are in service today. This is the
gross figures and the net increase
Twill be half that many.
"The situation with the telephone
company is one of adding tremen-
dous amounts of new equipment,
cables, wire, switchboards, central
office equipment and buildings at
The present cost levels, thereby
tremendously increasing the invest
ment per telephone.
every possible economy has been
introduced into the business. The de-
velopment of large size cables, hole
digging and pole setting machines,
| the introduction of newer methods
to keeping the costs of telephone
service down. But these economies
have not been sufficient to meet
the constantly increasing invest
ment per telephone. During the
present year we are adding 100000
600 worth of new equipment to the
System in Pennsylvania During the
next five years we will add about
$l78,000,000 worth Of equipment. All
Of this money must be raised in the
form of new investment in the bus
mess.
"The present problem Of the tele-
phone company is largely one Of
credit A telephone company which
is not financially strong and able
to attract the new money necessary
for the business at favorable in
terest and divided rates Is not an
asset to the state. This company
has been in a strong financial posi-
ton, The purpose of asking for a
slight increase in revenue at the
present time is to keep the company
in a position where it will be able
to attract the new capital which
will be REQUIRED to give the people
of Penn ylvania the quantity and
quality Of telephone service they re-
quire"
