WPC's High-Power
Iransmitter
Atlantic City Municipal Sta
ton Now Breakfasts
With 5O0O-W Set.
An Outstanding Feat

WPG, the municipal broadcast
ing station of Atlantic City,
oined the high-power stations of
the East when the new 5000-watt
ultra-modern transmitter got on
the air for the first time Monday
night.
The words ultra-modern are
used to describe the first of the
new type of the 5000-watt trans
mitters to be installed. The set
is the last word in broadcasting
equipment and includes the i'm
provements and the results of
the experiments of the last three
years by Western Electric engi-
neers.
One of the most outstanding
features developed and decided
within the last few weeks was
the placing of the individual pan
els comprising the set. By the
new arrangement the energy leav-
ing the speech input equipment
enters the transmitter at one end
and is passed along in successive
stages until it is transformed in
to radio frequency and leaves the
transmitter at the other end, and
then passed directly to the lead-in
and then on to the antenna.
Edwin M. Spence, the director
of WPG, has accomplished an
outstanding feat in broadcasting.
With the assistance Of John r.
George. chief operator, WPG has
maintained it's regular schedules
both day and night, transmitting
all winter while the addition to
the building and the necessary
wiring and. heating equipment
was being installed, and for the
last two weeks the radio building
located at the Airport in Atlantic
City has been beehive of &C
tivity while the new transmitter
was assembled.

Utilities Gives
Merger Permit
Local Company Consolidated
With the Resort Cor
pOratiOn.

Improvements that will facili-
tate greater economy of operation
and increased service in this city
and along other points on the
Mainland are expected as a result
of the merger of the Atlantic City
Gas Company and the Pleasant
vile Gas Company, under the
name of the former corporation.
Announcement OF the merger
was made following its approval
by the New Jersey Public Utility
Commission, meeting at Trenton.
The Commission also approved
S5S2,000 face value promissory
notes and the issuance of prefer
red and common stock of the con-
solidated company of like kind
and manner as now outstanding
for the Atlantic City Gas Compa-
ny, to be exchanged for the stock
now outstanding, share and share
alike.
First rumors of the consolida-
ton came when it was announced
that Clarence Geist, president Of
the Atlantic City Gas Company,
had obtained a controlling interest
in the Pleasantville Gas Company.
The Pleasantville company is Is
years old, and for many years the
company did not pay dividends.
For the past two years the COM
pany has been paying stock divi-
dents of per cent. semi-annually.

Snake Causes
Auto Accident
Reptile Crossing Road Makes
Woman Lose Control
of Her Car.

A large snake crawling across
the Mays Landing-Somers Point
road near Gravelly Run, caused
Mrs. Elizabeth Schlorer, of Had
don Heights, to lose control of
the car she was driving to such
an extent that it swerved to one
side of the dirt road, turned
around. and rolled over several
times, yesterday.
Mrs. Schlorer, thrown clear OF
the machine, suffered fracture
of the left wrist and cuts OF the
hands, with numerous other in
iuries. Her husband and daugh-
ter, Wilhelmina, 16, also suffered
bruises and cuts.
1t is believed that Mrs. Schlor-
er, frightened at the sight of the
reptile, tried to put on her foot
brake, her foot instead slipping
over on the accelerator, forcing
the car forward with increased
speed. The twist of the wheel
forced the machine into the soft
earth at the side of the road. ov-
erturning it.
All were treated at Egg Harbor
by DR.. Theophilus Boysen. The
automobile was badly wrecked.

bull dog while playing near his

treated. The wound, according
to reports from the doctors Of
| fee. was severe.
Police officer Joseph Conway
shot the animal and took it to
the Atlantic City Hospital, where
was examined for rabies. Young
Conover is the third person here
to suffer from dog bite within
the past three days.
With the entire county on its
guard against stray dogs follow
ing the death of Mrs. Christian
Eisensmith Sunday in the Vine
land Hospital from rabies, the
result of her being bitten by her
collie pup a month ago in her
, Mays Landing home. two local
men are suffering from the bite
OF dog received here yesterday
and Sunday.
They are Ralph Sanders, 45
North Main street, and DR.. Chas.
DH. Conover, w. Washington ave-
nue.. Both have taken the Pas
teur treatment in the Atlantic
City Hospital.
Mr.. Sanders was bitten by a
dog Sunday afternoon, and went
to the office of Dr. Conover, car
rying the animal with him. At
ter his wound was treated, DR..
Conover attempted to examine
the dog, and he also was bitten.
The dog was later killed by San
ders and Dr. Conover, and its
head sent to the University of
Pennsylvania for. examination.
Mrs. Eisensmith died as a re-
suit of rabies, physicians who at
tended her declared. II is feared
that the tramp dog which bit her
collie pup had made a number
of similar attacks in Mays Land
ing, and that many dogs in the
county had been infected.
As means of safeguard i'll
ordered all dogs leashed and muz-
zled until September. A similar
action may be taken here if that
action seems warranted.
Local officers have been warn
ed to shoot any dog that seems to
be suffering from rabies.
